yah i know its been ages...but I just happened to see a vintage baby fifth wheel at a local travel trailer dealer today. got me looking... http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/post-2473-1139664412.jpg valley makes a hitch that will fit our trucks apparently... http://www.therangerstation.com/fo...

purduecrew

You think if you took a stock truck and did the swap, you would see a 40hp difference??

I mean thats not a crapload at 230 total but with the relative torque we make, wouldnt it feel like a vortec 350 motor swap? Only thing is Im sure it kills low end torque...

purduecrew

No pictures but I didnt say that these were all inclusive either :wink: I just know that you can use the factory computer and harness. Yes you will have to change the MAP sensor/steam holes, CC brkt, etc. to make it work perfectly. great link http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50198

purduecrew

You do NOT need a new pcm or wiring harness. All you have to do is adapt leads from the stock injector harness with plugs that fit on "normal" injectors. The computer will need a re-tune but it will run the truck just fine.

Mines at the dealership today getting the drivers pins replaced. They have to reweld and drill mine. More egg shaped and bushing totally gone...but for $180 bucks, its worth it in my eyes.

purduecrew

just let down your stock tailgate??? thats what I do to fit my z400 in the back :lol: I really haven't tried yet, I was afraid of bending my tailgate. How close to the edge of the tailgate do your rear wheels sit. I checked the specs on both our quads and your wheelbase is 49.0" and mine is 50.0", ...

thanks guys, i must have jinxed myself with yalls help. set the code for the other 02 sensor today. bank 1. drivers side correct? I replaced the passenger side one at 85K, and this one is at 107K. I think its time.

Delphi is an OE manufacturer, but is this too good to be true???

purduecrew

I completely agree with everything you said. Of course, also like you mentioned, had you not wasted X dollars on halogens, you could have spent the $100 plus X dollars and still been even, if that makes any sense. REGARDLESS, looks good! and apparently they are holding up enough to convince you into...

purduecrew

yes sir!!!

So I take it you have been absorbed by the HID phenomena?

purduecrew

Anyone know if you can wire those in such a manner to turn the backuplight section on independently? I'd love to have some extra light at the back of the Yukon for hooking/unhooking the boat at nighttime. Like Raven mentioned. Im pretty sure the 3 color uses your trailer pig tail. Just tap in a swi...

purduecrew

yah know, I had my brake pedal go to the floor on me last saturday coming to a snow convered intersection

I think I just have a vacuum leak. Maybe thats the case for you too, in that all the jarring disturbs an otherwise "sealed leak"....

purduecrew

I think I can solve this dilemma, MAYBE. I say that because I have yet to see a variation from this: If your radio looks like this, then you have a 2 DIN, regardless of year: http://replacementradios.com/images/gmcdcassfacenew.jpg If your radio looks like this, then you have a 1.5 DIN: http://www.na...

they sure are big but

purduecrew

The Yukon... I also didn't actually think it was anyone from here. We need a sticker or something for our windshields :D :D Hahaha that explains it! I can spot cops in the dark from a half mile. Thats why I never saw a yellow crewcab, because it wasn't there :lol: And thats a good idea, we do need ...

purduecrew

center of gravity??

i was just thinking less room to dig to get to the frame

purduecrew

hahaha, yah well just think tho, I would have gotten less stuck had I been lowered!!!

purduecrew

it was some GOOOOEEYY stuff! traffic was sitting still in the SB lanes and I saw the van on the side of the road, which looked to be inhabited , SO, since we werent moving, I thought I might as well have some fun and help out a potential stuck family. The van slid off the road during the storm to av...

not sure on the connector, but then u would have to patch the hole

I thought I was rough on my crew cab

Want to help us set up a group purchase on those 2.8L diesels?

We are gettin snowed in here in southern Indiana! Reed, hows it goin down there in KY? I got a couple friends headed to Harlan tomorrow, maybe! 11" so far and its still fallin!

purduecrew

looks good for sure!!!

purduecrew

ive been invincible so far....Reed I got a call saturday to go retreive a YJ...he had it buried to the axles. Got em out and I got out of the mess too! Great little trucks!

purduecrew

WAS THAT MY OLD GRILLE GUARD??? *TEAR

Hopefully it sacrificed itself for a greater cause!

purduecrew

hey no problem Brule. Makes perfect sense. Im still workin on things behind the scenes, but its just going alot slower than anticipated....aka normal. haha

purduecrew

fx35's are 60mm units if I remember correctly. 2.5" otherwise. Just do FX35's, lens diamater doesn't make a difference in output over 2". There are alot of different factors that make a bigger difference, and FX's are the best value out there right now

purduecrew

yah the 98+ swap I just did with fx35's were really sweet with the quad beam harness on them....even thought the aftermarket high beam optics were junk

purduecrew

black chrome would be totally doable. Anytime you add black to the reflector equation you are inherently gonna cut down on output, but more important is surface texture and reflective property. Chrome is pretty damn good to start with, it would take some mean black pigment to make you think twice...

purduecrew

If you were able to like the look of projectors, I could easily do a set for around $400. We are talking about S-10's right? Not exactly the flagship of GM. Honestly if I am going to spend $400.00 on my truck it is not going to be on headlights. Nothing personal, it's just I purchased this truck fo...

purduecrew

I just noticed... But I don't see a spot for a corner marker light... Also, would it be possible to get these things blacked out instead of chrome? yea thats a bridge I havent crossed. I havent really been overwhelmed by a feeling that it needs one, but I am looking for a solution. and yes! you can...

purduecrew

I ran a resistor in my IAT a few times on my Camaro out in AZ. Basically what it does is trick your PCM into thinking it's a perfect air temp coming into the intake whether it is or not so that timing isn't retarded at all. I tested it on my Camaro at the track...two runs without the resistor insta...

purduecrew

haha Brule whats the point of this thread? lol

also that link is broken so it seems...

purduecrew

Bobblesmitty,

What side did you put that sub on? my buddy just put one of those pioneer shallow mount 10's in his CC and he had to go on the jack side and remove the bracket just to get it all to fit. Did you go that route as well? Pics?

purduecrew

I begged and pleaded with him to do Q45's but that would have put him well over 700, something I couldnt convince him to do.

purduecrew

UPDATE: Im doing a quad FX35 retro to 98+ GMC headlights this week. I will get pictures as soon as I have anything worth while to post. Its getting accented with white paint to match his white truck, and may have some chrome trim. The whole setup is going to run about 650, but could be had for about...

purduecrew

105,600 for me, with bad upper ball joints and I need a darn paint job!

purduecrew

I speak from experience that you dont use the tranny/engine connecting bolts to seat the torque converter :bonk: I did a filter/shift kit on a TH350 once, put on the new motor in above stated fashion, got it all together, no gears. Dropped tranny, replaced pump, got it all back in, nothin, no gears....

purduecrew

It is only my opinion, but if the builder didn't get the tranny right the first time, and didn't desperately beg you to put in a new converter while you were in there, I would say you need a new mechanic. That woulda saved you alot of money right then and there. I dont think the truck is whats to bl...

purduecrew

As far as focusing the optics, you cant really mess with free form housings unless you have alot of money behind you. Anytime you change the depth of the reflector, focal length changes, as well as if you change the width or height. So pretty much unless they are injection molded to your specs, we a...

purduecrew

Well if you are asking what I think it would take to put HID's in the high beam, Id say it wouldn't take any work. In fact, I have kicked around the idea of using a bixenon projector in the low beam side of those ebay housings, and then putting HID's in the high beam like you mentioned, that are on ...

purduecrew

now that I think about it, you sure did. Man Im already losin it!

purduecrew

so what setup are you running? I dont think you have mentioned that!

purduecrew

sure! by all means if you would like to, I dont see why not!

purduecrew

well, I didnt break mine in half, but mine started making a horrible squeak and the wheel "pops" now, especially turning the wheel...I have a 190 mile drive tommorow, think it would be safe? Mostly interstate.

purduecrew

well sound like you know what you wanna do :lol: maybe you could get those tsx projectors off of t0mills if he wants to buy a set of my reflector retros...then I could put those nice tsx projectors in the sonoma housing... or just splurge for the gatling gun projectors...they are 6 inches in diamete...

purduecrew

hahahaha, its for teh flux capacitor, duh!

purduecrew

ok well thanks for the reply on the GMC. i asked because rght now us GMC guys have ZERO options for aftermarket headlights. we can clear the orange reflectors out of the corners, or we can do the envoy swap which is atleast several hundred. most say its done for about 1100, but they are using the e...

SICK TRUCK!!! Fix that pic so it will show, its totally worth it! PS, how long you had the truck? How did you find us? Inquiring minds would love to know! Heres the only downer with these at the moment. I will probably have to ask for most of the funding up front for one simple reason. Im taking a s...

purduecrew

Well here are some comparisons...DAMN ITS COLD OUT! Stock 94 Sonoma with new battery and alternator, so its puttin out good power. Vs. 03 S10 with reflectors, and newer battery :roll: Stock Low http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c113/bcarr1970/100_2188.jpg HID Low http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...

purduecrew

Looks pretty good. I know it's hard to judge output in videos and pics, so, in your opinion, how do they compare to an actual projector retrofit? I've got a set of TSX projectors and ballasts that I've been planning to retro for the past year, but have not had the time. Can you get a shot about 20'...

purduecrew

im interested to see how it looks/fits/performs!

purduecrew

Well, heres some new pictures and video from the other night. I have been a little sidetracked with my parents ordeal for the last 48 hours. The headlights can be built and bolt in at any time now. HOWEVER, this is still a complete hand built assembly with MIG welded brackets to attach the light to ...

purduecrew

70 Chevelle SS used amber bulbs, I can tell ya that for a fact

purduecrew

Ya know, I had that exact same problem with an aftermarket bracket. I had to switch one side back to the stock bracket as the other side was using a stock bracket, and it fit fine on the first attempt.

Did your truck come with low beam DRL's stock? I know mine were high beams from the factory.

purduecrew

ohhhohohoho now that makes sense! Yah, we can just either disable them or let the truck do it for us. I know some trucks( not sure why) use the low beams for DRL's but I am sure we can jump that hurdle when the time comes.

purduecrew

How efficient are your ballasts? I'm currently running a Pilot HID kid, and initial fire up spikes at 20 amps before dropping the the running amperage of 3.3 amps or so... I also went through the trouble of wiring my truck so I'd have no DRL's and the quadbeam mod with a relay for the low beams. Po...

purduecrew

ok and the next real question, and im REALLY hoping the answer will be yes....are you going to make these for the GMC????? Haha well anything can be made. I prefer using projectors, and my good friend has a GMC Crew, which I could use as a template to make a set. Otherwise a set that looks like the...

purduecrew

well I got the lights finally mounted last night. Ill try and take some pics and vids tommorow night.

purduecrew

Everything you mentioned is right on track. If the color changes right after you turn them on, thats completely normal. No different than a metal halide lamp you see in an industrial building, gym, or a factory. The color temp is great! I prefer anything 5-6000K myself, its just enough "eyecandy" an...

purduecrew

Brule, You mention flickering...and you probably are well aware of both of these things, but I thought I would just mention it in case you didnt know... Is it flickering while they are trying to turn on initially? Is it like just a variation in intensity or is it strobing? Strobing is a sign of too ...

purduecrew

for offroad HID's you cant beat that price with a stick!!! You would be hard pressed to find the daggon electronics for that! HID's are like you said, hard to describe until you've been behind a set...My favorite is the second set of pictures. Look at the left, no cedar trees, then the right picture...

The answer was simply a guy named travis who inquired on that K&N about a day before you, Carl, ...

CARL is from Washington state, and I know Im from Indiana

All excellent information posted here! I would say you could break it down like this: For under $10: Modify 9005's to fit into low beams For under $60: Install HIR's, but as Brule points out, a 9005 and HIR low beam are nearly identical in real world output. For under $150: PnP HID kit, but as you h...

If your voltages are dropping to 10 you have problems and need to upgrade the wiring harness. Thats just it, you upgraded your alternator. Only to match the loads I have added. Performance should be very close to a stock vehicle without the additional electronics that I have added. A drop below 12 ...

purduecrew

If your voltages are dropping to 10 you have problems and need to upgrade the wiring harness. The crew cabs are sitting pretty good there. I have a good alternator to match the accessories that I have added. Performance is at or just above stock. With 14.2 volts at the battery the lights get 13.5 o...

purduecrew

These bulbs produce white light, rated at 3600 Kelvin color temperature Not a big deal really. White is nice as our eyes are more sensitive to it. Do you have scientific data that shows it is irrelavent? HID's produce a pure white light, and HIR's produce yellow light in the 3200K range. HID's are ...

flippin sweet! you do some pretty awesome vids! p.s. who is that singin?
