Yeah chryo treated helps. Something else that helps is ceramic coating for heat dispersion. Not the face of rotor, but the edge and into the vents. Then after the coatings are done send of to chryo. Something on my hummer is wanting to coat the head of the cv axle (aka half shaft)that...

No. Same caliper/pad. It is supposed to keep from warping rotors more because larger surface area disperses heat faster. I drive mine ne like a regular truck so better braking would be nice but after comparing the two- I didn’t see enough difference to make it worth the swap. Being inboard...

Oh definitely. One of those-if i knew then what I know now- I would have never sold the 2001 suburban. But as the Cinderella song says- ya don’t know what you got till it’s gone.

So minimal it doesn’t impact. It’s like when people go from 10” rotors to 12”’rotors on hummers- the gain is less than 5%

Proper term is drilled & slotted. The point is to not loose stopping power under heavy or extended use. The drilled holes allow the vapor barrier to escape between the pad & rotor as well as expell the heat of the rotor faster. The slots are designed to channel out any water that may get...

Over all what it does is trap carbon in solid form. Eventually you will have to replace that part. The more advanced systems have the carbon compartment separate from the part of the catalyst that has all the rare metals so it is not insanely expensive to replace it. Still expensive, just not...

Yeah- he was just plugging in quick for me to see if anything was stored or pending. One of the “hey bubba” moments. Gonna have to drop it off for proper diagnostic.

No ticking in mine. But at stoplight it gets a tiny shake like a misfire - I don’t have a good scanner so it went to a shop and the scanner didn’t pull anything up. Seems like ignition miss and it isn’t constant. Plan on new plugs and injector cleaner to see if that helps.

Did you get any warnings ? Did you go back stock or the non cancelling stuff?

Sucks to live that once bitten twice shy stuff. I remember when paying more meant you got more, and that truck existed when that went on. Remember to do the burnishing process to any new brake pad, shoe, rotor or drum. Improves both performance and lifespan of them all.

Thanks. Im not trying to find top speed- don’t need the felony which is 100 here. Haha Reading up on it, many people chAnge program to keep it off and done it since new but still had the failure. Ideally we would keep this to 200,000 mile range. Idk if they changed any tuning or what in...

Lies to meet emissions and mpg means they screwed everyone all around. VW got the mpg they said they did- it only hurt on the excess emissions. People who got the corrected VW set up then lost mpg. What do think will happen with Hino? They should use most that money to reimburse the owners...

I thought the 6.2 issue was different than the AFM. My 5.3 has AFM and is the biggest concern of the truck. If it is the AFM and they win the case- the 5.3 will be soon to follow. GM had such horrible results from it in media that they changed the name of cylinder cancellation every so often...

Each napa is different. They used to be the gold standard, but everyone worried about saving $4.99 more drove away that kind of service and pushed for lowest price over anything.

A ruined tip of injector doesn’t mean piston is bad. In the right (or this case wrong) circumstances it can damage a piston. It is the precursor often. BUt simple carbon can plug injectors. Imo step one on a rig with over 75,000 is unbolt muffler, kitty, etc and giver it the wmi treatment of...

Flex seal! 😂

100% right answer.

Anymore new vs rebuilt is toss up. As too pressure- its like anything else: Stock will work. Taking the time to learn what pressure is best with your set up makes it better. But how much time & $$ is if you can affordably learn to diy. And as Marty said- this is exactly the kinda thing that...

Not the best driver but want to move up in size and power… First well done for admitting not a great driver. There are tons of racetracks around the country where you can get very advanced driving lessons. Go there and do that. Well worth the money. I’ve seen countless people wreck nice...

This in a bar that existed for profit, right?
