Couldn't be happier! She's accumulated 800 miles since the heads, and the coolant level is always full, and its running strong. I pulled my car hauler trailer with an 03 Chevy Trailblazer on it for 200 miles. I had no problem running 75-80 on the interstate. :D
Matt
I don't want to be any stronger if it means shivering, and I'm already a Character! :D Yes, I still plan on doing a WMI, but it will be on the conservative side, as I have no desire to be pulling heads again anytime soon! :D
Matt
Sorry about that. I guess you don't want to hear that my high for tomorrow is in the 70's. :D I really do feel for you guys, as I probably wouldn't leave my house in the weather you've been having. :eek:
Matt
Ferm, I don't suppose you have any vids from before the wife put the kibosh on the WOT runs. :D I know its not a 6.5, but I bet its a very lively GMT400. I know it would put our 6.5's to shame, but I don't care if I'm dead last in these vids, I love seeing what people do with their trucks. :)
Matt
Although its been a little rocky, I love the direction this thread is going right now. I would love to see some your vids Paul, as its always fun seeing a combo thats different than most. :) Although, nothing will be as good as the vids of you, and SS Force having fun.:D
Matt
Ferm, I'm sure you had to notice that my run was boosted. I very briefly brought it up to the torque converters stall, and let off the brake. On mine, it seems to be a wash, whether I'm boosted or not. If I'm boosted it always leaves spinning to 30+ mph. If I'm not boosted, it still usually...
Lets not forget Nate's run. I think its the fastest of all posted here. By my count, he's in the 8 second range. He's running an hx40 in his Tahoe.
Matt
Rob, there is alot of truth in the CKO's being a crap shot, and I don't mean reliability wise. The measurements don't ever seem to be what the sellers say they are. If you scroll down this page of my build thread, you'll see what I'm talking about...
Just the thought of pressure washing in that kind of cold sends a chill up my spine! :D So why do you have both timing covers, and plate out there? Trying to decide which ones your going to use?
Matt
Freezing is not a concern for me. :D We haven't had a single day below 32* yet this year, and thats the norm for my area. I'm still mowing grass.;) :D
Matt
Nate, what diff does your Tahoe currently have, 8.5? If so, that larger diff is a wise choice with your setup.
Those lifters should work perfectly for checking your clearance. Nice work.
