I recently bought a 1989 Chevy Van/Blue Bird 1 Ton Short Bus. I wanted to do something different for a change. I have my bagged 1997 Chevy S10, a lifted 2007 Silverado, and a solid axled 1982 Datsun 720.....
So now, Im going to cut this bus up and install air suspension, 4-link, custom...
I have a friend with a 1996 6.5 in a 3500 who found a replacement turbo off of a 1995 2500 Suburban. From what I have found, a 95 turbo is different that a 96 turbo. Is it possible to make the 95 turbo work on the 96 truck?
So i picked up a 88 3/4 ton Suburban about a week ago. Devin and I went up to 7 mile off road park in Spokane today with a few friends to test the burban out. It did great for being stock suspension on 33" MT/R's. I ended up falling into a washout and got it stuck for a bit but got it out under...
I got bored and found all of the pictures from multiple wheeling trips over the years. Most of them went well and we had a lot of fun... some went bad, but you can't always have a good day.
The pictures include:
Me: 07 Silverado
Dave: 88 Sierra
Adam: 83 Toyota
Caleb: 92 Cherokee
Enjoy!
I stopped in at a truck stop that was closed and drove over the scales because I was curious what my truck weighed. I scaled in at 8240 lbs. I had 2 people and their bags, a set of 235/85/16 tires and steel wheels for Devin, my canopy was on the truck, and my tool box had its usual things in it...
I just replaced the oil pump on a 05 LLY Duramax and I figured that I would do a write up of the process.
Removal of the oil pump:
1. Drain the oil
2. Remove the lower oil pan
3. Remove the upper oil pan
4. Remove the oil pan pickup
5. Remove the accessories and their brackets
6...
I recently had the vane position sensor go out on my 07. The symptoms were that there was hardly any boost between 1500-2500 RPM's. once you hit over 2500 RPM's it seemed to get full boost instantly. Another symptom was at idle, the vanes in the turbo would open and close all the time... This...
So I built these a while ago and just never got around to posting about them. I got tired of the mudflaps I had on the truck before, because they were screwed on to the fender and real close to the tire. I ended up ripping them off with my tire when I was at an offroad park.
The new mud flaps...
Winter seems to have finally started here for us. The high temperatures have been anywhere from 34 down to today's high temp of 23. During the winter I put my canopy on the truck for that extra bit of dry storage. When the high temp for the day don't go above 40, I put on the Winter Front cover...
The other night I pulled into my apartment parking lot, started to make a turn to back into a parking spot and I heard a very loud pop from the front end. So I stopped to look what it was and realized that when I jumped out of the truck that my steering wheel turned unusually easy. I crawled...
Here is a new way to look at "Big Wheels". I found this online and I wasn't sure what to think. This was a project called "Hummer" for the Zoo Art Fair in London. The artist said his idea was to create a sculpture that combine art, engineering, and motoring. He definitely created something...
I was having trouble creating boost between 1500-2300 rpm's and at idle the vanes in the turbo were opening and closing every 5 seconds or so. Then I got a CEL and took it to the dealer to check on. They read the codes as P003a (engine turbo boost controller) and P2563 (turbocharger vane control...
I finally got some towing mirrors for my truck. I ordered my truck with towing mirrors and fog lights and guess what... the truck didn't have either. I ended up buying some aftermarket mirrors from ebay and I got them for $175 shipped!:D
Heres a few pictures of before the mirrors, switching...
Well I finally got the courage and took the drill to my cab. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the factory 01-07 GM cab lights with the small outer and large center light. So with the idea from Devin, 83GMCK2500, I bought 5 of the 01-07 GM outer lights and spaced them similar to the 88-98 cab...
