Gm is always using undersized wires- penny pinch on copper costs. Multiple places the wiring should be increased.

Yeah, same opinion. Unless you are going to replace the engine with something mega powerful- replace the 4l60 with another one. B&M, summit, and a million other places sell them built to withstand more load than you can produce. Towing that load down the highway with a th400 that is only 1:1...

No orings. No pipe tape or dope. Clean threads and snug it up. That is a flare fitting. It seals by simple compressive force.

Wait… so this isn’t some kind of torque monster build thats gonna happen? I thought with the heavier duty axles going in that the trans was getting the big upgrade for power that is next or already on an engine stand like an 8.1 Please explain your plans for the finished truck, and how you are...

Just remember acid to water is safe water to acid removes you from your body.

Yes but it will require more modifications than just swapping them. The transmission mount will be relocated as will the transfer case swapped or modified by changing the input shaft from 27 to a 32 tooth. This also leads to drive shaft modifications. I remember you shorten the rear shaft...

Then I wasn’t clear. Stainless steel is harder than the mild steel the hinge is made of. Stainless steel rubbing on stainless steel will require an outside lubricant or they will seize together eventually and the bushing will then start to spin in the mild steel hinge. It isn’t that the...

The snubber is what smooths out the gauge. But usually the bigger pumps that run non stop have a recirculating hose and that calms the pulse.

Idk about stainless bushings.. Bronze normally use because they are a self lubricant. Also they are softer metal on purpose so they wear out instead of the hole they go into. The steel hole only gets messed up when the bronze gets worn too far. The stainless will only cause all wear to be on...

Keeping door latched the entire time with window rolled down, use door frame to force up and down, in and out to feel for movement that might be creating thee sound. Biggest trick in stopping a sound is a positive id to what it is.

Delrin is the white plastic used in things like door strikers, motorcycle skid pads, Heavy equipment metal to metal where grease isn’t used (like the extension on a boom lift or crane). The black plastic junk they switched to is a cost savings move.

Yes- the converter slides out easy and is annoying to get in half the time.

It sounds like the torque converter isn’t all the way back on the shaft. You have to spin it while jiggling up and down slightly while pushing it in. 3 ledges will be felt during install, it sounds like yours is in only 2. Having done hundreds there is still the occasional one that will take...

It’s not regular wire. It is fuseable link. If you can shorten it up & crimp on a new end, do that. Otherwise you’ll be spending more money than was in the game plan. Cable ties to hold them out of the way incase they do pop off, and the heat sheilds are the way to go.

That last one was originated by a company and called Tygon. Do searches here and you’ll see many of us tried it over the years. Takes about 70,000 miles but it will fail. I never tried the sae30r7 on the 1/8” stuff. I would think it needs clamps, but usually spring clamps don’t work for the...
