I would post a picture of mine except it must have been on my old phone. Anyway I run the same kit on my avalanche as Brule. In my personal opinion they a better kit all the way around then both K&N and airaid. I have run all three kits now (not on the same rig) and I am far more impressed with the ...

Yes I started (well Brule and Walt) facebusa.org its a site that hasn't picked up a lot of steam yet but I'm hoping it will. Despite the name the site is for all things with 2 wheels and motors.

I didn't scratch the inside of the axle tube and I used RTV sealant on the outside of the seals. Also I verified that the leakage was from the seal between the axle and rubber and not from between the seal and the axle housing. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm not trying to pick at you, but th...

Brule I'm sure will back me on this. Don't I repeat DON'T use cheap parts unless you have no choice. This will always come back to haunt you in the long run. And to answer you question, no it doesn't have to last for more then one day. They may hold the specs for the manufacturer but there tolerance...

Spray the leaf springs and see if it quits?
Check the e-brake cable bracket and lube those two cables where they slide in that bracket.

Shocks?

My 02 CC got new shocks yesterday. It had 120k miles and still had the factory shocks. They were all still OK, but one of the rears blew up on me after driving down a few caliche oil company roads last weekend. I replaced all four with Monroe Gas-Matic LT's from Advance. $20/each with lifetime warr...

Also make sure you are using a good seal. We all know you can buy seals on the cheap but that doesn't mean they work right. National, timken, CR, or original equipment GM. These are the products should be using.

Had that problem with my last car, i went with the wet sanding way. First time i had ever did it, but turned out great!! plenty of videos on youtube to show you how to do it. paint looked like glass afterwards.. Nothing wrong with wet sanding as long as you have enough paint/clearcoat to wet sand. ...

This is my other toy, my true passion. I haven't had much time to spend with her this summer, but there is always next year.

It been awhile I know. I haven't been able to upload pictures of my avalanche yet so here she is. 2002 6" superlift, 20" feet, and 35" shoes a little custom Brule repair work on the underside, Garmin GPS, bullydog ft tuner, magnaflow exhaust, spectre cold air kit and that's about it for now. I need ...

Just a warning. Keep in kind that I am also a huge fan of seafoam and I sell a ton of it. I spoke with the Rep for the company and he says "DO NOT PUT IT IN THE CRANKCASE OF A HIGHER MILEAGE MOTOR, DO NOT..." His claim was that it cleans a little to well and in some older motors it has caused comple...

ckholloway

Well its been awhile since I posted. Got the exhaust finished a couple weeks ago bullydog all dialed in it would seem. Looks like its going to pull down about 17mpg on the highway. Respectable I think for what it is. Got my tires in today also. Nitro mud grapplers, there not on yet but I have them. ...

When he says that there was 2 gobs of weld what he really means is there was 2 different tack welds that looked like my dog put them there. It was ugly. I'm no welder by any stretch of the word but I am pretty sure I could have done a better job then they did. Brule however did a great job. I took i...

ckholloway

yes there is.

ckholloway

Ok nobody can really argue that.

ckholloway

I do also. The only thing that bummed me out was I had hoped we would be done before night fall because I was going to take a picture or two of them both sitting side by side.

ckholloway

You mention you diehard battery and you and I had a short conversation about battery manufactures the other day so just because I am sitting here being bored I did a quick search. I find that your diehard battery is being built by johnson control and my AC/DELCO (note the use of caps LOL) is being b...

ckholloway

I suppose that would work but I can't see it ever really having a problem again. I'm just glad we caught it. I was already to point the finger at the shocks and head home until I got them ordered. Luck of the draw I guess that I decided to rock it side to side before jumping off the bumper.

ckholloway

Bummer!! Always remember locks only keep out the honest people.

ckholloway

Thanks again Brule. It handles like a completely different rig now, and not one noise coming from the chassis on the way home.

ckholloway

No, neither. I had intentions of checking the speedometer against the gps but forgot the gps LoL, tire pressure is a good idea and yet at the same time never crossed my mind.

ckholloway

Ok Brule 2 trips to Bosie and back under the new bully dog running the drive coach and pulling down 13.4 miles to the gallon at the tune of about a half a tank. Thats not to bad giving that I have it set on the performance tune. I did change the shift though, I have it shifting at the stock shift po...

I would really like to buy local from one of my own customers but I can save well over $200 if I buy online. I am not sold on any particular set of tires yet. I started looking at 325/60-20's which gives me the hight I am after and yet opens up a couple for tread options.

ckholloway

I haven't been able to post but I have been keeping up on my phone with what has been said. I thought about the 33" option. That doesn't sound that great to me. I understand that I would have more tire options and I also understand that tire prices would be a little less. However you also end up wit...

ckholloway

I'm gonna have to say that all the tires you posted fall into my price range but I'm not really diggin the Hankook or the Interco. I was looking at the trail grappler but know nothing about it. The mud grappler I can tell you on a 3/4 ton dodge cummins brings about 40,000 miles. I had a buddy that w...

ckholloway

All I know is, the more I drive it the more I like it. I think I have my tire choose narrowed down to either the nitro mud grappled, or back with the cooper discover stt like whats on it now. We shall see, I'm not in any huge rush for that just yet.

ckholloway

Oh and Brule the stainless adjusters, ya I'm probably gonna need those after watching those vids. Thanks again for all your help bud.

ckholloway

Here is a couple of pics of the Avalanche that my wife and I just picked up. I can't get them to post so this should be the codes for the photobucket pages. We took it over to Brules place the night we picked it up so he could take a look. I have a few things to do yet but so far it's coming along w...

ckholloway

Now its starting to look like you own it. Tires make it look much better

ckholloway

Wow your not messing around are you. I didn't think you would have the bullydog in already considering you just picked it up yesterday morning. I know its not a ton of work to do but didn't you work a 10 hour day yesterday? Or did you maybe come down with a cough after you left my store? LOL

This is the 1971 VW project I picked up for my daughter. First things first was to get it running, thanks to a little help (wink wink) from a local guy it runs like a champ now. Next will be paint, interior, and getting it lowered. DSCN0958 [].JPG and this is my grandpa truck. Pretty much stock othe...

PM sent on pricing.

ckholloway

No problem at all. Thanks for the intro.

Like was said above I will do what I can to help out. My pricing is not always the best because I am not summit or jegs, but I will do everything I can to be fair and if I can't come close I will be the first to let you know you need to look elsewhere.

ckholloway

Very nice looking. I am trying to access the website so I can get to my pricing on your ecm controller now. The site is down and says to try in a few minutes. If I can come up with something I will shoot you a PM here.

ckholloway

You did leave one of your cards in the glove box, right?

What is this I come to the site to look at a picture of this thing and you don't even post any. Whats up with that.

ckholloway

ya thats from early in the spring. I can post a newer one a little later if anyone is interested

huh that car looks familiar to me. I may know a guy that has one just like it.
