Power (watts)=Current (Amps) X Volts OR Current = Watts divided by Voltage. Thats about all I remember from a $10,000 college education. :lol: :lol:

I'm with you HenryJ. How can they know they are screwing up or have poorly engineered/manufactured something without the feedback to try and make it right. Maybe it is an idealistic perspective, but I like to think they won't file my response under "G" once they receive it. The only problem I have w...

I have a similar result. When I first fire up the truck after it has been sitting in the garage all night it nudges forward in park. It only does it when the tranny is cooled down over-night. Do you think it may need adjustment or is it something to have looked at under warranty?

Thanks for your reply and leg work HenryJ. I will see if I can find anything out through customs on our end on how it might work with duty and taxes. Unfortunately I do not have a contact directly south of the border...............CHeers! :)

Sweet.........I am looking forward to picks. A BL is definitely on my next to do list. Any pointers that you would add to the MOD section of the homepage? Also, where/from whom did you order your kit?

I know this site has been mentioned before, but it looks like a reasonable fit for your application. The product price seems very reasonable but shipping costs are more because it is a hard cover. Try www.checkerpro.com. Last time I checked it was about $309 for the one that fit the crew and you can...

Amsoil claims its synthetic oil will make a noticeable difference in you gas mileage. I am sure not a huge difference but who know what a little friction reduction would do.

I found a local tranny shop that said they would do both pumpkins for about $160. They use Amsoil synthetic. It is a hell of alot better than $300 the dealer charges, but I am still concerned about warranty issues. What other manufacturers are there that someone else on the forum is using?? The serv...

I have spoken with the dealer here and the parts guy said it was 75W90 and gave me a GM part number of 10953455. This may be slightly lighter oil than what they supply south of the border. I am only concerned about using an oil that meets or exceeds the GM specifications in order to not void my driv...

Diff and Tranny Synthetic revisited

I have to drop my diff oil this week and am a true believer in the properties of synthetic oil. The dealer said that synthetic is about $30 bucks CDN per litre ( approx a quart). and it will take about 6-1/2 litres to do both diffs. That is approx. 400% more than conventional oil. My question is has...

What type of additive or synthetic would anyone recommend :?: I saw a program on TNN where they used Royal Purple and ran a vehicle on the Dyno after swapping it in the diff and other driveline components and it actually added more HP at the rear wheels. Is the stuff any good??? :?
