Problem is, that transmission is going to expect somewhere between 3.23 - 3.4 running on 35’s to match what it was engineered for, correct? Least that is what Mitch was showing in his vid and it makes sense. Stock specs of a ZR2 Silverado Bison with the 6.2/10 combo and 275/70R18 comes with...
Curious, what are you planning to run for gears? Watched a SwapTime YT vid yesterday that has me a bit concerned about the gear ratios and the 10/8 speeds. I know my 4.88’s will need to go and I don’t want to run larger than 35’s for a daily. Anyone have an idea on what the lowest numeric gear...
Craft Customs did my LX450 wheel about 9 years ago. Had them add the faux wood sections to match the rest of the interior. Looked great for about 6-7 years, and then the leather started to peel the outer died layer off, so it is black now at the 10-2 positions. The lower faux wood section as a...
Congrats on the startup! So you mentioned DeatschWerks for the fuel pump early on, what is it that you used? Seemed to imply it was an in tank pump… Brief search of their site didn’t seem to indicate so.
I recently put these on my 450, I’ll have to look at the rears, but in that pic of the front resi, did you modify the bracket per the instructions and reposition the mounting hole? I’m pretty sure they are supposed to go on the top of the coil tower, least that is what I’ve done.
Looking at...
How hot does it get in your part of Texas? I’m on the fence yet on any LS/LT swap here in AZ as I know others have struggled with keeping engine temps in check here. The DI aspect of an LT concerns me some too, but the Torfab solution is very tempting…
Sorry, but the heat kit came with the new leather seat covers done way by the infamous Shane, (Atlas1x,MetricTLC) back in like 2013-14. I have no idea now who made them. Not sure I'd waste money on something from Amazon. It's a fair amount of work, just to have cheap stuff fail shortly down the...
So the heat pad kits switch combines the top and bottom pad in parallel so they both see 12v, this is ‘Hi’. For low, the switch combines the two pads in series, thus halving the voltage, ’Low’.
I paralleled the pads. I also used a relay, as I’m not sure the factory Toyota switches can handle...
I used a couple horizontal RX switches, with relays, to run my seats on hi. As a prior poster noted, I turn them on to get my buns toasty and then turn them off.
During the recent Lexus xmas parts sale I ordered a new insulator ($169) and 15 mounting pins (rodents ate some of mine up a couple years ago. f’rs). Now I have to find the proper sealant/filler to do the skin to inner rib gaps. Be nice to get rid of the oil-canning hood at speeds over 65…
Is there concern since LT’s are direct injected with carbon buildup on intake side of the heads? How stellar have the 8 and 10 speeds been? (asking out of ignorance since I don’t have a reason to frequent GM truck forums, but with great interest as I’m seriously considering a repower of my LX...
The WK’s on my Power Wagon with a FWC in the bed, have taken some serious beatings over the years. I’ve been impressed. Powder coating has held up well in the seven years they’ve been on the truck. (doesn’t mean their PC vendor is any good now thou…) If I needed sliders for my 80, WK’s would be...
98% chance I’m in. Just put new shoes on her yesterday, at Performance Muffler as I type getting a new fart can, and P0401 stayed away long enough to pass emission today! *Might* even give her a bath…
