What did you do to/with your second gen today?

[dapepper9]

Cut the end off and run some pressure hose with a hose clamp on each end lol

^^2 clamps on each end or eventually it'll leak

 

[joepizuro]

Same.

Well for a little while now I've been running 2 Hayden 405 trans coolers as a bandaid until i can get my new trans in. During the summer heat it kept it from getting too hot but now in the winter the damn thing hardly registers on the gauge if at all. Went ahead and pulled the secondary yesterday and I'm much happier with it for the moment

That's what dd94 runs too. They work great my trans just gets hotter than hell because it's on its last leg

Eh, after looking at it some more I just bent the line a couple degrees. Lines up perfect now. Always pays to start with the simple ideas first, LOL.

By the way, has anyone ever made a custom ram air intake? The old fender liners are shot and pretty much fell of the old radiator and with all my AC stuff removed, there's quite a bit of open room on both sides of the radiator and it looks like they have a good line-of-sight to the throttle body. *gears turning*

Got the exhaust turned out the side finally and all solidified Got louder but sounds good. I did burn a peanut sized hole in the top of the pipe so tomorrow I'll throw a band clamp on it and call it good

Anyone here race chevy? In search of some Vortec heads and an edelbrock 7116 lol

I finally got around to adjusting the kick down cable 2 clicks to firm up the shifting, the this drives like a new truck now.

It's amazing how much a difference something like that can make. Before the shift points were early and slow. Now they are right at the sweet spot for me and much firmer!

 

[dapepper9]

2 clicks? You adjust the bottom or top? Top is only way i know but I've heard of a way to adjust the bottom

I adjusted the top, don't know about the bottom. I didn't fully remove the clip when i adjusted it so I could feel a slight indent or "click" as I moved it so I didn't go too far.

I got the intake off my old engine to stick it on my replacement, then snapped a bolt off flush with the head on the replacement engine. Pulled the headers off the bad engine in the engine bay without snapping a single one
Now i've just got to figure out how to undo the garbage job someone did replacing the passenger side engine mount (someone slammed a carriage bolt in there). Lastly, I snapped both mounting bolts that hold the engine and exhaust hangar to the crossmember.

I'm debating whether or not to leave the trans in and just swap the engine in the truck, or pull the trans with the engine.

Good new is the insides of the new engine are tighter than a college freshman

Gonna pick up a new coil after work (still got an hour and a half to go) and see if that fixes my no start problem. If not, it's gotta be the crank sensor. Fingers crossed that it's the coil.

Just acquired a 5.3ls already machined, honed, and ready to go... gotta get my Camaro into the 10s

Damn y pipe won't tighten up on the driverside. The clamp isn't securing it together so I'm afraid I'm going to have to weld it, which i don't wanna do. Wanted it easily detachable for trans replacement but i guess not. Gonna wait and order a new one though. Exhaust is too loud so i ordered a cat to weld in bit I'm going to weld it on a new y pipe with a length of pipe then weld on a length of pipe, the muffler and maybe a new tailpipe after.

Had use-or-lose time off to burn today and i was bored so i went and had some fun in our little bit of fresh powder. GoPro was in the backseat so here ya go

Well I stacked 65 bails on the old dodge today. When empty it went on the highway the first time in 3 years since the front end was shot. So far everything is new and replaced except tires and body work lol. With stock tire and 5.13s it goes 70 around 2800rpm. It went from 70 to 100 in a couple seconds and I let off around 4kish.. didn't trust the tires.

good passing power, eh?

 

[dodge dude94]

Jump started a beyond dead F250 last night. She warned me the last time she tried to jump it it killed the other car.

Truck took it just fine.

 

[dodge dude94]

Also, how could i forget, got a couple flush mount pods from a friend as payment for fixing his truck.

So I guess I'll be cutting into my bumper here soon.

i don't know if it is a dodge thing but they always seem to boost other vehicles pretty good no matter what. i have had to boost my 1 buddy diesel twice in 1 day. he had other vehicles trying to boost him and they did nothing. i hook up and his truck fires right up. he also had to call road side assistance a couple weeks ago for a jump and guess what. even with 3 booster battery hooked up to his truck they still couldn't get his truck started. he throws his old battery in the truck and it fires right up. i found it strange that a professional couldn't boost and get a diesel running with 3 boost batteries but then again the guy showed up in a Nissan micra.
