Wow, lots of good info here. Thanks Warwagon for that, this is constantly a learning experience for me. Since i never tow maybe i can get a tune hot enough to race my pops duramax (and win) he has a stock lmm.
I quoted you twice. These two statements seem to stand out to me.
Could it be that...
Well we all thought you were a troll. My bad. Thanks for lookin out for me i guess, but i know it isn't safe to run that high egt for long periods of time. Thats why i was surprised to see 1300 like I did, but its all good now man.
Sorry for the confusion. I've always assumed it was a 4l80e, I wasn't aware they put any other auto behind these in 1995. Plus it's 4wd and has taken plenty of abuse. I wish I had a nv4500. Peace of mind is the main reason. 2nd being manual is way more fun to drive.
Well, now that I have a...
Since I just got my gl4 about 3 months ago, Heath offers retunes within a year of purchase, so I'm gonna go with that for now. I know I will like it. I was about to ask what tune you have, until I looked and saw you have a db. You will be faster than me 0-60 and 1/4mi times. Even though I have a...
Thanks man. Yea I'm really happy about it now. A team turbo kicks so much ass. Really wish I had access to a dyno just so I could know. Me and you have similar mods, 6.5L, you make some very respectable power numbers.

Oh yea.. Freakin scootin.. That straight stretch is just a tad over a 1/4mi. Can't wait to get my retune now.
Stupid gummed up k&n off the gm-8! that turbo is haunting me from the dead!:twak: :chairshot...
Well don't I feel like a dumbass. I took my dirty k&n cone off and cleaned it, now I'm getting 20psi and my egt's are topping at 1100. I'm a happy camper. Uploading vid to YouTube as we speak
Couldn't find the unistrut today. I got a piece of stainless with 3/8ths holes. Gonna use the hole for the parking brake bracket and one of the lift pump mounting holes with brass washers separating the stainless from the frame. Also gonna dremel the round holes square so they will accept the...
Thanks for the pics Leroy that will help alot. Yes I got the lp bypass fittings. Think I'm gonna use that unistrut if I can find it. Or something similar. What's that stuff Made for? It will help alot when I ask about it tomorrow at my local ace hardware. Seems easy enough. Thanks for the...
I'm constantly reading here, over at dp, about my truck, and my wife hates it too. But hey, I hate pretty little liars and teen mom but that doesn't seem to affect her very much lol
Thanks guys for all your help.
To clarify for anyone other than the subscribers to this thread: this turbo is a 100% improvement over stock. I can literally hear the freed horsepower buckin out the tailpipe from the so-much-less restrictive exhaust housing. I love loud trucks, I've grown up...
Do you think there would be more drive pressure thus more boost (with att) with a smaller crossover? Moving same amount of air through a smaller pipe means more pressure, but less flow..... Right? :dr:
I got my auto meter pyro and boost gauges from ssd, and I too had to bush from 1/4 to 1/8. The tapped hole in heaths crossover is definitely 1/8, for the record.
Hell yea, at least I'm not the only one that does that lol. That looks like Wyoming for sure tho. Where about you live in wy? I lived in Casper for a year when I was 13. Pretty cool place dude
:owned:
Yes, that is awesome. Glad I didn't get the other turbo now lol.
On a different note, I figured out what the noise was that I heard... I was in such a hurry to drive this thing the other night, I forgot to... Bleed the air out of the cooling system :dot:
So the noise I heard was the...
I wouldn't worry too much about that character... He's too gangster for us. And did you see the dumbass robot chicken quote in his sig? Dudes a looooser lol maybe that will provoke us an answer
Can't have anything but a good attitude man. Some people expect too much and that's why they get disgruntled and angry. 6.5 ain't a duramax by any means, but it does the job I need it to do and that's gettin me from home to work and back, and weekend play. It has loads more power than a 5.7...
