silverado777 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thats a sweet looking car. I think I landed on the G8 like I said before I am an GM guy and owning a mopar would just be wrong lol. Plus the gas mileage in those things are horrible. As long as everything works out I should be picking it up this weekend. Here is a picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Steve, I'd go for that orange G8 in a heartbeat. Shawn's right about the mod bug, though, It will be tough to resist modding that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I know I already want to look into it. Getting rid of the active fuel management and a good tune can get it over 400 hp. But the intent of the car is for a quick DD. If I get the need for some serious power I'll just jump in the truck.

silverado777 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well I'm not trying to sell it, but if someone were to throw me the right offer I would consider it. I think I put it up mainly to see what kind of bites I would get off it. I've been frustrated with the project and since it was my DD made it even more frustrating. Not to mention this thing is sucking me dry and making me poor lol. However, since I got the G8 as the new DD I'm not so stressed over my truck. Once I get it back from Zippy I can work on it slowly but surely it get it how I want it. Once I get it back I still have an exhaust leak to find and fix, replace the oil pump since the heavy duty SLP oil pump is only giving me 21psi of oil pressure at idle, need to remove the converter and send back to Precision because they built me a converter that's looser than whore. Swap my 3.73 gears for 4.10 or 4.56 gears since with the 3.73 gears I wont even see 3rd gear going down the track. So all in all I will most likely keep the truck.

My SLP is only giving me about 20psi as well! Ran a base oil pressure test at a cold start and measured at the oil filter (tapped into the Lingenfelter oil cooler) Ive still got that tapping noise from the front cover area. I think it may be the pump as well. Do you have any unusual noises coming from yours? Any drivo issues from only 20psi? The oil pressure wont raise with RPM either. stays at a flat 20. Not to mention, at start up i have 0psi for about 5 seconds. My instrument cluster starts complaining about low oil pressure and then it slowly climbs to the 20psi. Not a fan of SLP pumps.Check my latest rant on my thread. Haha. Hoping to figure it out soon. http://www.silverado...ngine-knocking/ Edited October 4, 2012 by MID12sSSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
