Thanks for the update, probably going to do the same thing with my sled this weekend. I’ve heard you don’t need a kit but you’re right I havet seen a single video of anybody doing it. What did you end up doing with your excess wires underneath? And did you notice a difference riding with the tunnel cut?
get a 22'' chopper, block off a couple intake passages and jack the motor up in 1/2'' increments until you find the sweet spot. that crappy aluminum prop isnt doing you any favors. also, never rev it up on the hose like that great way to snap a reed or 3. if you do, use the throttle neutral detent so you give it some timing, not just fuel. cheers.
Wow I have seen this advice posted on FB groups for months now, only now did I realize why they say this. You are keeping idle timing but getting higher revs that way, thats why it might blow. Thanks for the information mate!
It’s easier to remove the whole dome light assembly. Remove the 2 screws from the light in the middle. Pull the assembly out. You can easily remove and install the map lights. Don’t forget to put the ground wire back when reinstalling.
For the record, I installed a Melling (chevy 327 - 300hp profile) also needed the springs replaced with new lifters, in a 1995 Yukon 4x4 with 5.7 tbi, rated at 210 hp from the factory. I also replaced the factory gear ratio from 3:42 to 3:73 . After everything was done truck pulled the hills much better, would actually pass other trucks that bogged down on the grade. It did help and also passed smog test next year.
Bro I have a 98 Silverado stock height, I’m running 31x10.50r15!! I’m trying to fit 33x12.50r15 but a lot of shops telling me I won’t fit it, not even with a 2” leveling kit, is this true? What’s your setup?
Ayy man please I need help because I have a truck like that and it he plastic panel that goes around the crew cabin broke and I really need one so can you please tell me what it’s called if you onow
Weird I drive a 95 ext cab K2500 with 5.7 tbi and I get 17 highway. 323,000 miles… u complain about the heads but that is one of the only v-8’s with around 5.7L of displacement that make peak torque at 2800 RPM Bro a 5.3 sure flows a heck of a lot better but to get over 300ft lbs of torque u have to be spinning 4 grand. Sure they’re faster but they can’t pull as much stock for stock. U want something better than throw a carb, dual plane, cam, and vortec heads on it. And watch ur towing suffer
I really like the LEDs on the roof, my truck is white and has Hercules lining on the bottom trim and a chrome grille. I want to add more to my truck lights more LEDs and stuff like that but I don't wanna stand out too much in a bad way.
