    What the heck is this??

    I am working on refurbishing my heater controls, heater box, and etc and I found a metal "box" above the heater box and mounted to the under side of the metal dash. It has an electrical plug connected. What is it? I'll take a pic if no one knows off the top of their head

    Lesson learned from the first time ever at a track.....

    There is a setting in hptuners under the "speedo" tab that lets you raise the fuel cutoff speed from 98 to 256. I kept getting fuel cutoff just after 1000 foot mark and coasting to the 1/4 mile mark. 14.6 @ 85mph lol My 1000 foot was 88 mph. Found the speed limiter after I got home.

    4l80e lost first gear and o/d

    Trans shop said that o/d slips and that causes it to shut down the “1st/ OD” solenoid. Anyone ever hear of anything like this? I put some Lucas oil trans slip stuff and it was fixed for about a week. Thought i was out of the woods because it would work fine until it warmed up (still does). So...

    Wheel hop

    I put in a new diff and gears and now I have wheel hop bad. Seems too coincidental to blame it on anything else? I don't know if a loose pinion nut would cause that somehow?

    Son of a @$$#&+-$#@!!

    Spent 4 hours getting the center pin out of my Gmail 12 bolt. Swapping in a 3.73 gear set and lsd. If you look close you can see the Carnage. Used a death wheel to cut the carrier in half and it still wouldn't come out until I cut the gears in half as well!

    Using the 98 Camaro 3wire coolant sensor, pcm 40 Degrees hotter??

    Brand new speed hut gauges and using the above sensor so that 2 wires can go to pcm and one wire to the gauge. Gauge usually reads 158 and pcm reads 198. Any ideas?

    Assuming LSD needs to be rebuilt.......but......

    So when I take off straight or turning right, My gm12 bolt is a peg leg. but when iturn left I can kick the tail out nicely. I've never rebuilt a lsd but it can't be too hard. Can it? What are the pitfalls?

    Installing valve springs.....question????

    I'm using compressed air in the spark plug hole for each cylinder to hold the valves up. The question is, should I hear any air leaking inside the head? I do hear it and I wonder if I need a valve job or if it is normal?

    What is this part????

    On a 1999 6.0 it runs from the intake to a sensor and then out the exhaust??????

    The swap started today.....

    Pulled the wiring harness off and got the engine on the stand. Power washed the engine and then took the valve covers and intake off. My plan is to put in a cam and springs, maybe hydraulic roller lifters and pushrods too? If I do change lifters and pushrods, what is the formula for the...

    Did you all know that a 4x4 and 4x2 4l80e ain't the same???? LOL I just learnt that.

    Fortunately I "learnt it" the cheap way. My "auto recycler" was actually listening to what I was doing with the engine/ tranny swap and called me back to tell me that. Fortunately he had a 4x2 tranny with only 37k miles on it so my swap will now be a 1999 6.0 and a 2001 4l80e. Glad he caught...

    Picking up a 5.3 and 4l80e for the 85 c10

    Paying $1500 for the pair (133k miles) out of a 2500 van. Includes computer and harness. I have never torn an engine down but am definitely mechanically inclined. My 350 developed a rod knock so the LS swap is gonna happen sooner than I thought. I'm considering putting a cam, lifters...

    Installed trailer wiring ....... Blackout!!

    The trailer lights wiring had the ground wire cut off so I re-grounded it and hooked up the trailer lights and went to start the truck and acted like it had a dead battery. Battery voltage tested at 12.6v. No fuses blown. I put in a new ignition switch and..... nothing. The wiring is a mess...
