chawkins6789 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 How long can I expect my tranny to last? I'm going to run the 3.42's for a while and see how it performs. And I am debating adding the VMax badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chawkins6789 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I got the truck back. It dyno'd at 325 HP to the wheels on 87 octane. All that is done to the engine is the K&N cold air, MBRP exhaust made for the 4.8/5.3, and a custom tune on the dyno.

Downeast Johnny Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Cool, Chris. How do you like it? A new lease on life for the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Why 87? Should use 93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Why 87? Should use 93 Yeah what he said, a lot of guys complain about engine pinging on 87. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggs Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 That's good bro 325 not bad, but you should run 91-93 octane fuel in the LQ9. Tranny should last you with what your doing, but the tranny is like a box of chocolates "you never know what your gonna get" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I will fill up with 91 tomorrow. I had a little less than 1/4 tank when I took it in. I ran 87 with the 4.8. Over time after I get a new tranny, I'm going to get a mild cam and a TVS1900. Just to have 450 to the wheels. I really dont care to have much more than that. I still want it to be emissions legal.
