    2 inch lift on 2wd 3/4 ton

    What are my options for this? Air lift? Spring spacers are the cheapest option. Would like some ideas from you guys who have it already set up. My c20 has 454 HD rated springs in it currently.

    turbo 400 to 700r4 swap......should i do it?

    Thats only a half correct answer. Sure if you have the 10 or 12 bolt and 2.73 - 3.08 gears then yes. BUT, if, like my truck that has the 14 bolt full floater with the tallest possible (and rare) 3.21 gear, than you can keep it. I swapped a 700r4 behind my 502 and kept the 3.21s out back while...

    turbo 400 to 700r4 swap......should i do it?

    ^^^ a 400 is only superior in strength. 4L80 toggle swtich shift with vac modulator is the best option.

There is no switch 12v power either. turn key to acc position and it acts as if battery cables are disconnected. only the aftermarket cig lighter/usb adapter has power (its hooked to constant...

    dash questions.

    Yes you can run a 95-97 cluster with a carbed engine. i am running one now. The DRAC module is for speedo calibration and can be found under the dash near glove box (passenger side). Use the calculator to at tbi chips to determine what jumper calibration is needed. At first, you might have to go...

    4L80 gear engagement problems

    well, after revving it up in Park and gettin it hot (220 degrees), i have forward gears now,and they shift fine via switches. No delays, but take off is slow. When I try to rev it past 1500 rpm it makes noise (metal rubbing) and then will go back into Nuetral, acting as if it doesnt have fluid...

    turbo 400 to 700r4 swap......should i do it?

    do it! i got rid of the dinosaur th400 that was behind the previous engine in my suburban. i had a 500 lb ft torquer 502 at the time. it was only a cruiser, i never gave it full throttle in fear of trashing the 700 when i got it in there.
