For those who remember, I had the 01 silver birch sonoma crewcab, 2" body lift on 31's with the custom rollbar... http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/251000-251999/251351_23_full.jpg just thought I'd check in and say hello.

autozone now carrys optima....thats where I purchased mine

Justin

I have been mingling in the motorcycle market for a few weeks now. My mother purchased an 05 honda reflex 250cc scooter for a daily commuter back and forth to work. With gas prices on the rise, 40-50 mpg sounds like a good plan to me. Now I have no intentions of purchasing a scooter, rather a motorc...

Justin

where in NY are you located? I went to Albany and had a custom shop install a XLerator dual exhaust on and it sounds good and has plenty of free flow

Justin

weight of the tire plays an important role too but I always think that the lighter the tire, the less mileage you will get out of it. I have 3.42 with 31" BFG that really measure 30.2" i think. the truck always downshifts going up hills on the highway but I still manage 16-17mpg

Justin

hopefully they won't see the cut...and if a code is thrown, i believe its a P0101

Justin

follow the wise when lifting! I put 31" tires on and replaced the wheel bearings 30k after.... does your truck still have a warranty..if so and you lift, you will have trouble reclaiming a warranty... Are you ready for the decrease in MPG and the increase in fuel price? Are you ready to be wokring o...

Justin

wheel play from top to bottom...If there is wheelplay froms side to side, it could probbaly be your tie-rods..if it has play all around..it could be a combination of both or your wheel bearings...keep an eye on them

Justin

I did not crank the T-bars. All I did was level out the truck from side to side(one side needed like 1/2 a turn). I don't want to ruin cv's. As far as rubbing with stock rims, they will rub the inner frame and occasionally the torsion bar. I also have mud guards and I can hear them scraping when I'v...

Justin

BFG tires last quite a bit. Their mud terrain and all terrain KO tires are aggressive, a nice hum from road noise and wear real well. I have 38k on mine and still plenty of tread...

Justin

I have 31's with 3.42... its good in the city and on flat highway but forget about towing, passing or climbing on the highway. Suprisingly, I get 16mpg....

Justin

use the speedo calculator converter

Justin

there are guys at www.thedieselstop.com who are 50/50 with the 6.0L. main problems are EGR, turbo, and injectors. Torqshift tranny has had recalls. At www.thedieselplace.com , there it is just GM and the only problem I see is the EGR and the transmission is bulletproof.. Also, GM's get better gas mi...

Justin

Well, It's decided. GM is introducing a new allison transmission, the 6 speed auto to basically lower rpm's on highway speeds and give a little more low end grunt. They say this could help with MPG. I guess that ford powerstroke 6.0L is giving people trouble. Even people on the ford diesel forum are...

Justin

no way you can have a spare tire with those. I have duals but they cross under the leaf springs. They rub under a real heavy load...

Justin

do you intend on putting two 10's and rwo 12's in a crewcab?

Justin

I guess it comes down to A) personal preference B) price I have always been a GM guy and just recently, I fell in love with this truck. http://www.fordf150.net/photopost/data/538/1superduty3.jpg It's a 2005 Ford F-350 Amarillo Edition..1500 produced for 2005 and only available in southern states. I ...

Justin

I've been racking my brain for the past month as to which truck I would like to purchase in the near future. I'm looking for a crewcab longbox or shortbox 4x4 diesel and I'm not getting any help asking GM fans and Ford fans because they have favoritism. The truck will be primarily used for work and ...

Justin

he should have left it like it was when he first did the SAS.. He had 35's and an axle under spring up front. Truck was maybe 6-10" higher than normal and looked really well built and street worthy....

Justin

truck was built in florida and is now in wisconsin... I know that truck gets alot of praise on this site but why would the 2nd owner (from warnoffroad) trade it in that quick? It, to me isn't an everyday practical driver which targets alot of customers. It should be sold in TX or FL. I doubt the guy...

Justin

I have JBA 10.5mm power wires. I don't think they make them anymore for street (primarily for race). i doubt there is that much difference but they offer a 9mm...

Justin

it could very well be the wheel bearing. I had replaced mine at 53k just recently. Jack up the front of the truck and see if there is movement up and down and side to side in the tire. The grinding noise you mentioned only occurred when there was more weight on the side..For instance it was the pass...

Justin

just jack the truck up and see if the wheel has some play top to bottom and side to side. If not, than its something else. That noise could be something in the suspension. T bar, A-arm bushings, ball joints?

Justin

It's been an occuring problem with the front passenger side wheel. It was making alot of noise. 2 months ago, i jacked up that side and the wheel had a little bit of play from top to bottom. Over the course of that time, i would hear a popping noise in the front end after the truck was sitting for a...

Justin

My SES light came on constantly and I ended up with a new motor. The code will still be in the system until is has to be cleared. I was told that the light will stay lit until 5-10 ignition cycles (when the code isn't thrown again) but it is still stored into the computer.

Justin

I highly doubt any performance gains will come of adding such an electric supercharger. A supercharger only adds performance at high RPM's as the belt rotates the centrifugal or the the twin screw to produce compressed air to be mixed with the fuel for higher combustion. That setup looks like a fan ...

Justin

I think the problem was those goodyears.....

Justin

Well, how often do you kick out of verdrive on the hihgway? It's kind of a paradox because 1) you can get better gas mileage with lower rpms then 2) you will never downshift on the hihgway with 4.10's, however your rpms will be higher. There are alot of factors 1) wind resistance with BL 2) height a...

Justin

you will get more power but your rpms will be a bit higher resulting in lower mpg. I believe hobbie did this and he averaged 12mpg...I have 31's and 3.42. Get me on a straight and i bet i could get a good 16-18mpg but i average 14-15 which isn't bad. I speed up before hills on highway to cmpensate f...

Justin

I was completely confused! :lol: Turns out this is an entirely new code that has never come up before. code P0300 was the problem before which gave me the new motor :lol: What an idiot!!!... Well screw this one, I'm just going to reset the code everytime it has this problem, take the k&n out before ...

Justin

OK, i did some research on the P0101 code and it basically comes down to MAF performance.. http://www.actron.com/faq_detail.php?pid=16152&id=13 http://forums.s-series.org/viewtopic.php?p=190650 http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157074 So the question is, did my dealer not udnerstand the...

Justin

Ok i really need to vent and hopefully someone can help me out. Most of the members who have been around for a few years can remember that i received a new engine a year and a half ago due to a #4 misfire throwing code PO101.

Justin

I fabricated the roll bar for my crew...It took me 24 straight hours and there is no way I would be able to get more than $400 for that. With all the time bending pipes, welding, grinding and painting...its not worth it. personally, I like the bumpers that wrap around the sides and over the hood the...

Justin

I would be with a $100,000 price tag for an H1

Justin

there it is..... thanks

Justin

company is called machine performance. I have been looking for their webiste for you. its a nice setup. You send them your motor and they go through it completely to what you want...The company may have went out of business but there was a setup in a zr2 and an extreme with pictures

Justin

s it just the HP you want or the v-8 itself because a powerdyne or vortec with headders, exhaust, MSD upgrade, etc. can get you close to 300+ hp.. There is also a company that rebuilds the 4.3 to handle 500hp with the bolt on intercooled twin turbo setup for around $5000.00 to me, that would be wort...

Justin

HAHA

Justin

that's highroller's crew. He has the 7" truckin suspension lift. I would venture to guess he stops by the site once every month or so.....

Justin

look at the price of desiel....$2.33 a gallon here in RI. After looking at stocks, the price of crude oil jumped up another $.50....Weather experts expect a cold winter so all the stock market guru's went to town.

Justin

So I had my tires balanced for the 3rd time this year to try and get rid of my vibration problem between 60 and 75 mph. Turns out its not the tires. I jacked up the front end and played with the tires a little. I rocked bother tires side to side and the steering is tight. front diver side up and dow...

Justin

Does anyone know where the fuel pump is located or where the fuel is sucked out of the tank. My truck stalled today with 1/8 a tank of gas. Not sure if it was when i gunned it and the fuel went to the back of tht tank or when I stopped and it went to the front??

Justin

I'd love to get 16-17. I'm getting around 14mpg right now and i definetly blame it on the BL and 31" BFG's. I have always found that Goodyears wear faster than most other tires. Even on my jeep, my goodyear GSA's didnt last very long. With the crew, the rts's didnt last long either. Maybe the diamet...

Justin

The diamater of the shaft looks so small compared to the universals. I would guess what an 1"- 1 1/2"....I went out and measured the shafts on my atv and they are close to 1 1/8"...

Justin

I hope everyone was ok and there is insurance. We lost 2 barns, 6 horses, a 67 for fairlane and several atvs in 2001. It sets you back but the best thing to do is bounce back and rebuild....Wish your sister, you and your family the best of luck....

justin

Justin

I bet you lasted 10 miles from the 1/4 to the fule low sign

Justin

I don't know about the looks... I like having everything look the same from both sides. For instance, the frnt fenders look like there is 12" of gap between the fender and the top of the tire as compared to the rears which look like there is 6". I think a set of rears should be made to make it look ...

Justin

Low and high setting works properly....Is this the same wiper glitch problem. I think that jarhead was...

Justin

Congratulations to all those expecting. I hope they are all healthy and your wives recover quickly. Can we expect to see pictures of the children with a 1/4" wrench in their hands any time soon???

Justin

Is it me or do those tires look like 32's on his blazer?

Justin

Some people also undercoat the bottom of the cab to keep it even quieter.

Justin

i have the aluminum.. It is very quiet but i still get road noise from the tires. Windows all up, stereo at a decent level, you won't hear a thing but the rattles from the dash and door

Justin

I used dynomat. They have complete car kits for like $400 or so. I did the doors, floor, rear panel, pillars and some of the firewall (what i could reach). It works well but people consider it expensive..It is mostly used in the audio industry..

Justin

although, doesn't highroller have the 6.5" and he says it is fine??

Justin

I think that Matt (warnoffroad) had the 4.5" lift on his truck and had negative comments about it. Send him a private message or email him at alloutss@yahoo.com

Good luck

Justin

That truck is becoming, in my own words, "An accident causer". Mainly from other people staring at it while driving. Are you going to paint the flares to match or are you planning on doing a custom paint job? This is what I wanted mine to look like... (second from top) http://www.doodlescustomartwor...

Justin

look..0-62mph in 22 seconds...haha..That would not sell in the US

Justin

those tires in 31" rub the frame. I wouldn't suggest them especially if you have 3.42. But none the less, they are a great tire and wear really well

Justin

Fix Or Repair Daily.... But every manufacturer has problems. I loved the stripped down base 2000 F-350 powerstroke with the 7.3...No problems and that thing could pull

Justin

read page 2 options include 35" tire wheel package and the harley option of painting the frame

Justin

How can i get rid of them. Ever since i replaced the rotors and pads on the rear, they squeel all the time. I took the wheels off and noticed the rotors look almost like glass..should I lightly sand them??

Justin

All i can help you out with is that it will probably take 8-10 hours. Maybe less with the experience those guys have on trucks...Luckily, there was a local shop at my school that charges $8 per hour for a bay with a hydraulic lift and I did the install myself.

Justin

have them check the driveshaft too...thats if the tires aren't the solution

Justin

I brought mine to a mechanic..He did the engine oil/filter, tranny fluid/filter, transfer case fluid, front and rear axle fluid all for $210. They have the right tools and the time to do it in....

Justin

any noticable power response? Deeper noise?

Justin

Damn

Where I live, the snow and salt eats away at the undercarriage. I don't think i could ever get it that nice looking. It looks reall clean and almost from the dealer...

Justin

ahh.. I think it looks sharper without it. I would have to agree that the pewter/black combo looks killer on our trucks but I wouldn't over-do it with the window pillar and posts. If thats how you like it than give it a shot but i like it better with color up to the roof

Justin

I see no difference???

Whats the treatment?

Justin

I would not take that truck off-road...Too much time and money involved. With the lift, supercharger, 35's, shiny paint job and a great sound system, I don't know if it will see any dirt roads....KCustom???
