    UPDATED: How-to build an "Audio Pipe" for your ATV/UTV

    Before you do that, I did find two more amps that should fit in the pipe. The Power Acoustik RZ2-1300D and Massive Audio NX2. They pack a lot more punch than the amp I use but that does mean giving up just being able to plug the thing into any cigarette lighter socket. I guess if mine goes...

    UPDATED: How-to build an "Audio Pipe" for your ATV/UTV

    Work sucks, money's tight, but I'm doing good. Yeah I think it came out great considering we built it with mostly scrap parts. We only had to buy the speakers, antenna, rollbar clamps, and auxiliary input adapter for this build. Sent from my Nintendo 64

    Converting my MOPAR to a pointless and HEI ignition, Questions

    This. One of my buddies was at one point considering using GM's throttle body fuel injection system (similar to what's in my 95) on his Ramcharger. That meant somehow working the GM ignition module into the dizzy. That kit looks like a good option.

    Karl, I found your wheels. / daddy's tire & update thread.

    Just read this thread. I put the exact same set on my Avalanche at the beginning of the year. They really are good tires.

    Spark Plugs on a 2001 Chevy 5.3

    You're good. If you search for "41-110 vs. 41-962" you'll find a PDF from ACDelco. It basically boils down to Delco providing a cheaper double platinum plug for the older trucks. Yeah, I just changed the plugs and wires on my Avalanche. 2 plugs swapped = 1 bottle of water. Should've waited for a...

    My 95 to 99 GMT400 dash swap (Damn its cracking!!)

    Yep, it's no fun unless you've got plenty of free time to spread it out over at least a weekend. You might try a SuedeMat dash cover, which is what I have. It's not real suede, but it's much better than those typical carpet covers. Fit is fairly good, it's only a little short near the driver's...

    Want to install a trans. oil cooler without ruining warranty

    Want to install a trans. oil cooler without ruining warranty

    Installed the GM cooler kit yesterday. Strangely, the dealership got me the kit cheaper than anyone I found online would've been able to after shipping costs. Removing the old hard return line and routing the new lines was a pain. It took me about 5 hours from start to finish, but I think I...

    Want to install a trans. oil cooler without ruining warranty

    Some of you guys know I just had a GM SRTA (transmission and converter) put into my Avalanche a few weeks ago. It has a 3-year/100,000-mile warranty. Now, even though the Avalanche has some kind of factory towing package, it doesn't have an auxiliary transmission oil cooler, it's just cooled...

    Dayton Audio 10" Reference H.O. subwoofer

    Selling my used Dayton Audio 10" Reference H.O. subwoofer. Ran it for about a year in my truck, sound quality was amazing, but I decided to try another subwoofer that would be better suited to my setup. It's been sitting around my place for about a year since then, and I need it gone. I will...

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    After inquiring, they showed me that one of the studs broke off, and they ruined at least 10 bits trying to drill it out. They decided to just replace the manifold, the excuse I was given that the shop manager was off that day so he couldn't give me a heads up. Doesn't explain why he couldn't...

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    The owner was nice and apologetic. Didn't give me any trouble giving me what I wanted, they are refunding the cost of the manifold and discounting some of the labor.

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    Got fed some excuses from the shop manager, so I'll be speaking personally to the owner tomorrow.

    Grease gun preferences

    That one looks good. Flexible hose, hand operated, pistol grip. I'm not a fan of pneumatic or electric ones. They are great if you have to grease a lot of zerks often, but they can be very problematic.

    RV Morse TBI fuel pressure adapter & Mr. Gasket fuel pressure gauge

    The RV Morse Machine adapter replaces the factory fuel inlet fitting on the rear of the injector pod and provides two 1/8" NPT ports. It comes with a Teflon crush washer, 1/8" NPT plug and 90-degree elbow as shown. Never been used. The Mr. Gasket Co. fuel pressure gauge has a 1/8" NPT fitting...

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    We're a small shop that services tractors, side-by-sides, ATVs, small engines, etc. Plus, quite honestly, I've got enough stuff on my plate as is.

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    Don't get the wrong impression from my post. I'm not about to show up there dropping f-bombs, screaming and waving my arms around like an idiot. Yes, 3-year/100,000 miles. Right now my bill was $3370.

    Dealership Woes: Am I right to be angry?

    Little backstory here: I don't know if any of you can recall, but I began having torque converter issues with my Avalanche well over a year ago. Long story short: did some diagnostics, decided to keep driving it as is. Fast forward to about three weeks ago, start losing 1st and 2nd when...
