I keep telling you Im too scared of whats on the other side lmao.

Im not to impressed really for the price of what you get, seems a little much. $400 for canned tunes? No thanks. Custom tuning is up to $500!

Going to offer tire size correction now though. So it's STILL the best out there. lol Price will come down eventually.

Cleaned off my steering box to find that it's a silver lid and it still has the OEM sticker on it.


Been dirty for a long time. :uhoh2:

Yesterday was the 2nd time the fuses and wires for the e-fans melted while driving.
---
Tried to solve the issue with the e-fans today. I tested them both and the outer front fan read 15amps and the inner read 25amps which was pretty surprising. So I pulled the fans off to see how shot the motors were. When I peeled off the Pro Comp shrouds I noticed they were two completely different fans. The front was a 16" 12V Straight Blade Push SPAL fan and the one behind the radiator was a TYC fan from a Chevy Aveo. I sorted through the nest of wiring there was and rewired everything correctly. After testing it again the front read 10amps and the rear read somewhere between 15-18amps. The motors in them were on their last leg and the bearings in them were very shot. Called the previous owner and he said that he used to have a single 18" fan with a big shroud in it, but took it out when he brought it to the used car lot. So I assume the lot just threw in whatever fans they had lying around. Not only that but the temperature control wasn't even installed correctly and it wasn't until when I was cleaning up when I looked at it and it said "For 0-120°". Anyways, so after talking with the P/O he said that he put the old fan in a Chevy Blazer that he no longer used and would be willing to sell it to me if I'm interested. He's coming over first thing tomorrow since he also was interested in what I did/what the used car lot did to the truck. If I don't like his fan I'll probably just put 2 new 16" fans in and call it fixed.

On the SCT programmers, when you're all done tuning and all, you just unplug it after it makes the do,do,do,do,do,dooooo sound right? I should know since I had it for a few months, but just making sure. :p

Loaded up the bed with 920lbs of scrap to bring to the scrapyard. Got a nice $87.40 and now I can get to the quads in the backyard. Found out the truck weighs 5,200 with only me in it.

What's your GVWR? Yours a 6400?




Put 100mi on it. 77 mph interstate. Drove better on the way back (night, cold) then it did on the way there.
Weird.

Not a bad deal at all man, I think those models retail $129 through Savage so $160 sounds about right. Good deal at any rate. How ya like it? Was considering one lol.

Had to have it in 4x4 lately. I keep accidentally grinding it because I forgot you can't put it in park when it's engaged. How much grinding can our transfer cases take?

I was testing something and just curious, If I slammed the gas so my wheels spun, is my front supposed to spin?

I'm in 5" of snow by the way. I think my 4x4 is acting up..

Im parked in 4x4 right now and it didnt grind at all. They dont like being engaged on an angle, on a hill or anything? Mine wont fully engage sometimes when on an angle. Ask me how I found that out :p You dont want grinding at all man. Yes if you're in 4x4 your front should spin. Our fronts, only one front wheel spins so if you had the brake engaged, no you wouldnt go anywhere but the front would spin. If thats what you were askin aha. Highly recommend you dont do that though! My 2 cents.

You can use park in 4wd so I am confused

Yes it is, one tire or both is possible.

Welcome to winter with big fat tires, not the same as skinny tires is it.

A pix taken yesterday, just because.

So maybe I should take it to get looked at? I had it grindin atleast 3 times cause I tried putting it in park while in 4L. Not more than like 2 seconds at a time though. And I can't disengage 4L unless I shut my truck off.

Plus my fronts won't spin in 4x4. When I mash on it, my back only does.

I hope nothing's wrong with the transfer case...

Where you fully stopped???

You should be able to go from 4lo to 4hi with the trany in N and stopped. I hope not if it is going bad I will suggest you go 241 over the 231 if a replacement xcase is needed.

Edit; I missed this sentience.

Plus my fronts won't spin in 4x4. When I mash on it, my back only does.

If you can't spin them in 4wd hi or low you have a problem either in the cad or the xcase. So shop time.
