    Just a update on the this, we towed to Myrtle Beach last weekend 90+ degrees, Trans was 20-30 degrees cooler and even in traffic when the TC isnt locked it stayed below 190 and I could turn the fan on and watch the temp drop, If you tow this is a very good upgrade, I feel alot better about my...

    Rear seat was useless anyways so

    I did something similar with mine, I lined the floor with 4 mil plastic then poured 2 part foam in let it set hard, cut it off flat then added 2 inches of softer foam on top the wife made a slip on cover with Upolstery fabric, Max loves it for trips, its soft but has good support

    Upgrading Turbo on Everyday Use 1994 BLAZER 2DR 6.5. OPINIONS?

    The ATT turbo has been proven as a real good dependable set up, so far the CKO40II's have been doing real well ether way you will have a hard time keeping the smile off you face when you step on it and when you pull up to the Diesel pump

    HX35, exhaust, and injectors?

    If you have a HX35 or can get one relatively cheap then by all means its a great upgrade, if you are buying new and money isnt tight you can go the route I went with my current Turbo, Its a Hybrid Holset HX35 with a Banks $$ 14cm Housing, for around $700.00 you can do the CKO40II and its a bolt...

    HX35, exhaust, and injectors?

    The HX35 Is defiantly an upgrade over the stock GM Turbo and as long as you don't tow heavy too much it is a great Upgrade, The HX40II is a Better suited size for the 6.5 and really wakes it up, I see you have 4" exhaust which is good but you will need a good tune, I use a Heath Tune and it...
