    Passing CA Smog help - High HCs

    You may still end up with issues for the first 5-10 minutes if it’s real cold. It’s still TBI. Without the crossover to warm the IM, Vortecs were always designed with a dry manifold in mind. That’s why I switched from the Sniper TBI to Eddy pro-flo 4 MPFI. You could preheat with a coolant or...

    Passing CA Smog help - High HCs

    The carb requires EGR? Is it’s just an unused barb for a hose, can’t you just put a cap on it? I’m confused…

    She wants to be a stay at home mom. She’ll be gardening and taking care of livestock, too. She’ll still be staying plenty busy.

    Well that was quick. Sold today. She’ll be driving my daily and I’m going to look at a 2002 Camry with close to 100k tomorrow. Looks very clean. Good news is she’s retiring at the ripe old age of 34 in a couple months and I only have to commute 2 days a week now. Our miles driven for work will...

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    Wrapped up the dash. Got this autometer 3 gauge pod deal for my gauges. Real oil pressure, EGT and air pressure for my OBA.

    The new scam on Craigslist is people asking you to give them a vin report from some untrusted janky website like vin trust or car facts. It’s definitely a way for them to phish your cc info. I’ve purchased a carfax to share with legit buyers, but these guys insist you log into some other...

    Yeah, it’s a pretty neat feature. Overall, it’s a much better execution of a glass roof than our Tesla. May not be quite as big, but still lets light in when you want it and does a better job of keeping the heat out in the summer.

    Trailering your square body

    You will be fine. Iirc, my CUCV (k30 longbed) was approx 5200 when I had to weigh it. You’ll be good to go on a 2900lb dovetail.

    Cleaned up the wife’s DD to sell it. 70k miles but looks brand new. Again, anal retentive. The roof glass on this is pretty trick, goes from full headliner, to clear(tinted) glass, to frosted at the push of a button. The last three pictures show the sequence.

    EFI conversions

    Is that EFI system CARB compliant or do you live in a smog exempt zip code? I don’t know of any CARB approved aftermarket EFI kits other than the MSD Atomic.

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    Sniper probably won’t do much better than an optimally tuned q jet. That is, unless you go up and down in elevation by a considerable amount. I’d get a MPFI system such as the Edelbrock pro-flo 4 if you are going to add the complexity of an aftermarket EFI an are primarily concerned with mpg.

    Rag Joint removal faux pas

    I didn’t end up replacing anything and haven’t had any issues as of yet.

    6.7 Cummins Suburban Build

    Just verify that the suspension can be fully cycled without the yoke bottoming into the TC. My guess is that you are fine(maybe better off) because gm liked to build the driveshafts a bit shorter than standard convention recommends. I actually lengthened my k30’s DS a bit to have ~1-1/4” of...

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    All kidding aside, the “stanced” thing is purely for the aesthetic you want. Just understand that it will increase maintenance on the truck and negatively impact every characteristic I can think of including handling, ride quality, braking performance, acceleration, fuel efficiency, etc. If you...

    The last pre-emmisions diesel

    Pretty much wrapped up the interior/sound system. Just need to get the DSP tuned. Don’t have a pc to run the software, only have a Mac.

    High Flow cats on a Blueprint 383

    Seems like something is up. Shouldn’t need to be 12.5:1 at idle. Is it their 450hp 383?

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    OD of tire, width of tire, wheel offset, etc will all determine what you can fit at a given height. If you are putting a 30” rim on the truck, something tells me you aren’t concerned with unsprung weight. On the bright side, you will get pretty proficient at changing ball joints and wheel bearings.

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    I was asking about OD of tire, not rim. I’m wondering what size tire you are attempting to clear with the 7” lift…

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    That’s close to stock size tire. 7” of lift may be a bit much, unless that’s the look you are going for.

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    How big (OD) of a tire?

    Oh no…lol That hurts my heart Carry on

    C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!

    It looks like there’s going to be quite a bit of unsprung weight up front with that kit. What’s the goal with the truck? Just lifting for looks/to fit a larger tire? If so, what size tire?

    Inside all cleaned up for sale. Doesn’t look like 60,000 miles. Being anal retentive pays off when it comes time to sell…
