    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?

    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...

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

    Said I was going to update this, so here it is. This guide has more pics, more info on other amps, and is hopefully a lot easier to read. An "audio pipe" is basically just a small amplifier and a pair of 6-1/2" speakers housed in 6" PVC pipe. You can mount it to your ATV, UTV, golf cart...

    FS: Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X791 headunit

    Selling my Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X971 headunit. This was one of Kenwood's top-of-the-line headunits for 2007. In the time that I've used it, it has given me *zero* problems. The faceplate and volume knob do have some wear and scratches however. Plays MP3, WMA, and AAC files from CDs and the...

    New pics of my old '95 Silverado C1500

    Took a few pictures of my old 1995 Chevy C1500 Silverado, unfortunately it got a little dirty on the way to where I took the pics. Oh well. The paint is really starting to go but at least it still runs and drives great. The TYC Elegante lights are starting to show their age. :( I bought...

    Damn the circumstances

    In about 7-8 hours from now, I should be headed to Galveston to spend the weekend with my girlfriend for her birthday, but right now, I'm not sure if that will go as planned. A couple of days ago, the brakes on my 95 Silverado started acting up. They still stop the truck just fine, but would...

    Need a new H6M HID kit for my Grizzly

    tl;dr - skip to next paragraph. Took the Grizzly to an ATV park this weekend with some buddies, had a great time. We took a late night trail ride through the woods, somewhere along the way I noticed that only one of my HIDs were working. I didn't think much of it, it would occasionally happen...

    PartsZoneOnline - Great alternative to GMPartsDirect

    http://www.partszoneonline.com/ If you need GM (or MOPAR) parts, don't bother fucking with GMPartsDirect, try PartsZoneOnline. I've only ordered from them twice now, but I can already tell you that they are far better than GMPD. Both of my orders were shipped on the same day, in fact, with my...

    iSimple PXAMG & uPAC owners - Update your firmware!

    Hey guys, some of you may not realize that you can update the software on your PXAMG or uPAC device. I just updated my PXAMG to the latest version, 817b, and it seems PAC has finally corrected most of the problems I was having with it. So far I noticed: - Most notably, the music now pauses...

    Quick and stupid question

    My tune requires 91 or higher octane gas. I have about half a tank of 87 octane left, if I fill it with 93, will I be okay? Reason I ask is because I just got a Hot Chip from www.tbichips.com today. It requires me to use 91+ octane with the stock 195 thermostat, or I can run 87 with a colder...

    Polyurethane Sway Bar & Endlink Bushings?

    These are a great mod that I don't think I ever seen anyone mention on here yet. IMO, they are probably one of the best bang-for-the-buck improvements you can make to your steering and handling. I replaced the front sway bar bushings and endlinks on my 95 with Energy Suspension parts about two...

    Running HIR lowbeams without a glare shield?

    As some of you know I have Toshiba HIR bulbs in my 1995 and love their output. I already pulled the 9011 highbeam bulbs from my 95 and put them in the Avalanche, but I want to know if the 9012 lowbeam bulbs will cause glare in a cladded Avalanche? The reason I ask is because the cladded...

    Belltech 6400 2" Drop Shackles going on - need tips

    So yeah, I'm hoping my 95 will finally be level by the end of tomorrow (er... today). The instructions seem straight-forward and simple enough, but considering I've never messed with leaf springs before, is this something I can do by myself, or should I wait until I get a friend to help me out...

    GMT800: "SERVICE 4WD" message, unreponsive 2WD button

    Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on my 4WD issue. The other day while I was leaving my farm, I put my Avalanche into 4HI to make it sure it was still working. It engaged 4HI without a problem, but near the end of the driveway I got a "SERVICE 4WD" message on the DIC. I tried...
