No, I agree with you there. But I was already shopping for a Sport with the R/T hood so once I was there, just had to find one with that option along with other must-haves.
Yep, on lower trim levels you have to push the unlock button on the FOB. This was a must have option for me, I got spoiled with it on my last vehicle (Ford Fusion Titanium). It's so nice to just walk up, grab the handle and all 4 doors and tailgate unlock. Then just push the little button on the...
^Another great point. I've got specific goals I'm working toward on my C10 yet I've had to redo some things a couple times, which costs lots of extra money, even with me doing all the work myself.
YouTube is a great tool. Keep things simple to start with and just upgrade over time. If any of your friends are mechanically inclined, get them to help with the bigger jobs. Do a bolt in muffler or cat back and tips, get black out badges if they're not already, window tint and roll it for a...
'17 CC 6.4' bed (i.e. heavier) 4x4 Sport with everything but a sunroof, Hemi 8-speed 3.92s. With a 2" level and E-load stock sized tires got 17-19 mixed, 19-21 on the hwy. Now with 35x11.50s and a 3" level, 15-16 mixed (also winter fuel could be a factor, might gain 1mpg back with summer fuel)...
I have experience doing alignments on performance cars (grew up at the race track) but SAI wasn't something I was ever taught. I have a lowered '85 C10 that most alignment shops can't or won't touch. I'd had it a couple years and it always wore one tire funny and would occasionally act weird...
Should've asked for specs up front, I wouldn't have that kinda work done (especially at that cost) without knowing EXACTLY what's going in my truck. This is also exactly why I do all my own work, too many untrustworthy mechanics/shops out there
Got any pictures or a listing of the truck so we can see? Wonder if it's actually lifted or if it's leveled (some people don't know the difference). If it's just leveled and has quality parts on it, I'd consider it. But I agree with the above, it sounds like a lifted truck isn't what you're...
^I second this. Myself and a couple friends have had problems with Diablo tuners, one even bricked my buddy's ECM years ago. Put the factory tune back in it, pull the Diablosport off and start from there.
Lol I was being super picky though, so I had to snag whatever I found first. Had to be either red, blue or white with the 6.4' bed, Sport and 3.92s with the R/T hood but no sunroof. There weren't many nationwide
There's several things back there that can leak.
- Cab vents
- 3rd brake light
- Roof mounted antenna
- Rear window frame itself
- Slider window
I'd start by drying everything out, pulling the back seat and rear cab insulation out and doing a water test. Have a helper run the hose around...
Yeah I'm very pleased with this one. I've had cheaper ones in the past that didn't really work well. That's one of those things that is worth spending for a good one
Guess I just wasted my money changing my oil since apparently engines run just fine without it.
I went 7500 this round just cuz life got in the way. Was down ~2qts and the catch can was about half full. Oil looked fine other than being a little dark. Fresh 5W30 PUP, Lubeguard, RP 20-820 and...
Changed the earl. 6.5qts of 5W30 PUP, Biotech Lubeguard and a RP 20-820 filter. UPR catch can was ~1/2 full, this change went 7500mi just cuz life. Need to wash it bad but we're about to have a week straight of rain so no point
I'm gonna call BS on this too. There's no way. You might've had a sensor go bad or the gauge cluster decided to act up and showed no oil pressure (I've had many of those trucks, those clusters are always failing) but there's no way you towed that load 100+ mi with actual zero oil pressure. A...
Nicely done. I'm trying to convince my dad to let us do his rather than paying a shop for a crate motor. I've had plenty of LS's torn down, I know we can do the Hemi. Trying to talk him into some mods "while we're in there" lol
