Had a '65 Elky... I sold it and still kick myself for doing it. Always wanted to drop a 6.6 into it. Now looking for Chevelle wagons... ultimate touring car. :D
I sure as shit ain't putting my dump trailer behind a gasser. With a 3800lb empty weight, you can guess what it'll gross out at and as good as the new gassers are getting, I don't think they have the balls to haul that.
Like truckie said, I love driving it, sound of it, mileage and the fact...
When you pull it off and see a 150* drop in EGT's, and a noticeable increase in pedal response, I think it's safe to assume that it's pretty restrictive. :D I'd cut mine apart except I have to put it back on once a year to smog it for my registration.
x2 there. Not LLY only though, its that way on all the classic style. my 03 did that too.
Same^^.
Only issues I've had so far is the ISS. Never overheat, icepicked the harness the day I bought it, been running like a champ
I've gone through 8 AC Delco batteries in 2 trucks in 3 years. Pieces of worthless shit would be an understatement.... they refused warranty because they said heat killed it. No f***in shit genius, this is vegas, but your warranty does state 3 yr free replacement.
Anyway, I run redtop...
LLY will have a FICM mounted on the valve cover. LBZ and up will not. If no one has screwed with the motor/trans combo, the LLY will have the 5 spd behind. Like Jones said, you'll need the harnesses, ECM, TCM, etc to make it work. Not sure if the throttle pedal will need to be replaced or not.
I was getting that for a while too... found out if I back it down from 120 to 80mph, I could climb to ~15mpg. Usually don't see more than that since my truck is always around 8500lbs with 100lbs of wheel/tire on each corner. My DIC tells me I'm getting 22.1 though ):h .... Those POS never work...
gettin there :D .... converter definitely feels a little looser now....
My sister tried that in San Diego. Big tune, 4th gear, took a C6 (not a Z06) from 55-85..... Pretty sure he didn't downshift though. Funnier than shit to see his face though when he rolls by and he sees its a chick...
Ever sat in a duramax with a 500+ hp and a 4wd boosted launch?? ..... he either had traction control off, no traction control at all, or was just a dumbass, because he was spinning the whole time.
Re read the post. I know I would have gotten worked..... but for the couple seconds we ran, I...
....do it with intimidation.
Got a C6 Z06 saturday. Saw him coming up behind me in the right lane, had just enough time to get it into 4 hi before stopping at the light. Switch the DSP to the big tune, gave it about 23-2400 rpm and let it eat on the green. I don't know if he dumped the...
Always a plus. Most right now get a window high blanket squirting out from under the truck..... course the whole underside now looks like a giant oreo from all the soot.... :D
