If you like fast cars and trucks you have come to the right place. My channel features a 2013 mustang gt 5.0, 2018 Silverado 5.3 and a 2019 Yamaha FXHO Wave runner . If it has anything to do with a motor and wheels you will see it on this channel.
@iscreenshotnfts9455 This one had the helical gears which makes it sound a little cleaner and quieter but still makes enough noise that people can hear it when you pull up in the parking lot
Not sure, but I thought "Picklefork hull" referred to hydroplanes. This might be a tunnel hull, with full length sponsons. I could be wrong, because the center of a raised hull might not be the best place for the intake grate. I'd like the owner to respond.
@boostedfiveoh 100% They do have their place. I made the post because seems he's looking for speed. I used to have a "Day Cruiser" Berkeley Jet, 455 Olds. Couldn't keep gas in it.
Have you found any performance difference with the oil separator and the air intake? Like hp increase, and mpg increase? And also have tou noticed that the engine runs healthier?
No noticeably performance difference. The separator is mostly just to minimize the oil burnt in the combustion chamber. The air intake isn't enough of a power difference to notice it. If you combine full exhaust and tune you'll get a noticeable difference. I haven't got that far yet lol. I would say the oil separator will help keep the engine running healthy down the road. Just hit a lil over 108k miles.
I dont know how old your wheels are but the wheels theiy're selling now that look like yours don't require the Tuner lug nuts - only need the tuner if you have the wheels with the alternate lug pattern that have 10 lug holes. FYI - It says that on the VMS website - nice look BTW - JEG's is selling them now at about $30 discount
The wheels are probably about 4-5 years old now. Unfortunately I know longer have the car. I sold it a few years ago but would love to get another one some day with the same setup
Yea I owned a 2013 and 2 - 2014.'s GT's at different times and regret selling them but I found a 2014 two monhs ago with 27K miles almost perfect condition. I had to overpay for it but I really love it. I still own my polished Race Star wheels but they look linda of plain on my silver car - Kinda hard to come up with more money for better contrasting wheels when I probably cannot get 1/3 of what I paid for the Race Stars. Oh well. Maybe you can find another one - not too crazy about the body style of 2015-24. Good luck
I am still happy with them! Still holding up great at 17,000 miles. Some have complained about road noise from the tires, but my jeep is kinda loud so I don't hear it lol
@@boostedfiveoh thanks for the reply! Curious question though, and maybe not-- but, have you ever left pavement with them? That may sound silly, but part of me can't wrap my head around the SUV thing (my first SUV purchase, ever), and think that for at least a small percentage of it's life this thing may be front country or mild off-road (camping, etc.). edit: Merry Christmas, lol
@bergePanzer581 No problem! I've really only left pavent for a gravel road or possibly turning around somewhere. I've never been camping with the srt. The off roading I would do with the srt would be very minimal. I also have a wrangler for off roading, so if I'm planning on off roading I'll be taking the wrangler. Merry Christmas!
The Fel-Pro 35651 gasket is an aftermarket piece that helps keep the seal when the thermostat's gasket flattens out. After about 6 months or so the thermostat's gasket will typically crap out on everyone from it heating up and flattening down. I just had the exact same issue on my wife's 2007 Wrangler. When it comes down to it, if the thermostat is working properly (but leaking right there), you apparently can just add the $9 Fel-Pro 35651 gasket and you're good to go. I did exactly as you did. Due to the fact that I had it all taken apart, I added the 35651 and the new thermostat. Bled/burped the system with the cold engine and the radiator's cap off, added a tad bit more coolant, and she was all good.
Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation on the gasket. I still have my gasket just in case, but so far, no leaks from the thermostat housing. My radiator problems are another story.
I replaced the thermostat and after a few weeks it started leaking again. Gasket 35651 goes on the block housing than the thermostat on top? I may just buy a new thermostat and throw that gasket as well. Thank you
@@kojiki88 Thanks for the update! My radiator has been leaking too, so now that I've finally fixed the radiator, I'm leaking coolant out of the thermostat housing enough that it has become noticeable. I'm going to have to put that gasket on the thermostat house also.
You can burp the system once you're finished by starting the vehicle with the radiator cap off. Only do this from a cold start, run it for a minute or two with the radiator cap off, when your done re install the cap and you should be good to go. Add some radiator fluid if needed during the process.
Been looking at these in a 305/40/22 for the wife’s Denali XL Yukon. How do they handle in the rain and on wet roads? The 305/40 is about an inch or more wider than her 285/45s so just curious how they tread off water.
Mine have done very well in the rain and wet roads. Even handled well in the lighter snow, less than 5 inches was no problem, until I got to an unplowed road that was probably over 8 inches deep. Still made it through the deeper snow even though I thought I was going to get stuck. Not recommended for deeper snow
@@boostedfiveoh thanks for the reply. I’ve been a die hard Michelin ltx ms2 guy but I’m tired of the dry rot and cracks in 4-5yrs and still having half tread for a tire that costs as much as they do. I’ve read some reviews on these tires like you have and some people said they were horrid on wet roads.
@dommeister4004 No problem! Some have complained about road noise. I haven't noticed it, but my jeep is also loud lol. I do have all wheel drive but never had an issue in the rain taking off or doing highway speeds. I would say they tread water very well, I'm at about 17,000 miles now and holding up very well!
@@boostedfiveoh we’ve got corsa exhaust on her xl Denali so I’m not too worried about noise as long as their not like super swampers lol. It being heavier hopefully it will do well with the extra weight on wet roads. Just kinda spooked me when I read those few reviews about issues on wet roads.
@dommeister4004 definitely not like super swampers lol. I couldn't even hear the road noise until people started complaining on my video. I think you'll be fine since you do have that weight over the rear tires. I feel like a truck bed with no weight may have some traction issues no matter what tires you are running. I've had multiple trucks with all different tires and all the trucks would spin the tires fairly easy in the rain.
You're welcome, and thank you! Durango hellcat sounds like a lot of fun! Glad the video helped you make a choice on tires. I have about 16,000 miles on them now and still doing great!
Nice job, gives me the confidence to do it. It's always a stressor when you have to work on your daily driver. No room for error. Luckily the thermostat is cheap and easy to replace. I noticed you didn't replace the housing. I probably will on mine however the part is on backorder from Quadratec and I'm eager to just solve the leak right away.
Thanks! Yes, the thermostat is a fairly easy replacement! You definitely have less room for error when working on the daily. I didn't have any issue with the housing part so thats why I didn't replace it. I hope your replacement goes smooth!
I'm already at 16,000 miles on mine and still have plenty of life left. I do mostly normal driving and hit the drag strip every once in a while. Do you do a lot of towing with your truck? I'm not sure why you would only be getting 18k miles.
Looks good im regretting going lexani and wish i went more for these on my durango. Also turtle wax has some really good stuff. Made my new rims shine.
The majority of the idiots driving these type of cars are simply renting them by the hour...until the tik tok/IG/FB/youtube video is completed and then returned ASAP to the rental counter to close out the rental contract. Facts.
I booked this ride at the Riu hotel where I was staying. I believe you can walk down the beach and book as well. I think it was a red top tent for the ride I did.
