I have been reading every past thread I can find that mentioned rotors and most of the information I see says that slotted and drilled rotors aren't nearly as nice as solid rotors and that some of them crack. Don't hate me here, but regardless of that I'd like to pick up a set of slotted and...

I'm doing some shopping online for parts I'll need when re-installing my engine and while looking for split lock header bolts I see two part numbers for small block chevy's... SB-Chevy, 3/8'' x 1'', 12/pkg and SB-Chevy, BB-Chrysler, 3/8'' x 3/4'', 12/pkg I'd go look at my existing bolts...

I stopped by my friends house last night and he was just finishing installing a belltech rear sway bar. Dhen we lowered the truck down it was sitting with the drivers side up higher than the passenger side. He was stumped, the only things I could think of was if the bar was bent, so I unbolted...

I was just over at the machine shop and checked out my pistons after they cleaned the carbon off, that are two clear indentations in one of them where the valve had smacked the piston, why am I not surprised? Even better, he showed me the underside of my rockers which for some reason I never...

So after hearing about a couple of guys getting denied for UD LOOZ here I decided to give it a go. I applied for UD LOSE, and under the description put "You'd lose", Logo for company car, we sell weight loss products. Then I had my girlfriend go into one of the two DMV offices in the state...

I'd like to send my exhaust housing off to Swain Tech to get coated. They said I need to remove the exhaust housing and send just that part to them, am I safe to just unbolt it and send it off or will I end up needing to get something pressed back in or balanced afterwords? It's a Turbonetics...

Pulled the engine today and when I got my KB headers off I noticed the passenger side has three or four cracks in them. Looked to be in bad shape. I'm thinking about having them welded up and sending them off to Swain Technologies to get coated, then running them again. I plan on running the...

When I pulled the oil pan I found a 4" long piece of metal floating around in there. Where the hell could that be coming from? My best guess is maybe it came from the oil pan gasket somehow? The gasket feels like it has metal in it, and looks like it was overtorqued, there was a bit of rubber...

Now if only the rod knock wasn't preventing me from testing this baby out...

Anyone have any inside info on these? I was about to purchase a compustar when I saw the new Cliffords at CES. Now I'm thinking I'll wait and pick up one of these instead but after CES I can't find any info on them, not even an expected release date.

Took my Sy in to get solid motor mounts installed yesterday, when I went in today to pick it up they said it has rod knock that wasn't obvious previously but the solid motor mounts were amplifying it. I had my engine rebuilt by Rex Hutchison Engines in Sacramento less than 10k miles ago and...

Does anyone make a tailgate lock that will work on a Syclone? I haven't had any luck finding one and searching SyTy only turns up references to Typhoon tailgate locks.

I'm having problems with getting power to my fuel pump (been a month now, just haven't had the time to get it taken care of) so to get around I have to pop the hood and connect a jumper from the fuel pump test lead to the power block every time I want to drive my truck, and unplug it again when...

I've never heard of this. I just purchased my truck a few months ago but the previous owner had it to a couple of tracks with no problems, but today when I went down to Portland International Raceway they said I had to have a power kill switch on the back of my truck since I have the battery...

I keep reading about how I should go to alky and how it can make as much power as C16 on this forum but can't get hard numbers anywhere or find evidence of this outside of SyTy.net. Has anyone done any dyno pulls to confirm this? I did find one article on turbobuick which I'll copy below but...

I have a aftermarket hard tonneau with no branding on it that I can find and the struts are shot on it. I went down to the local parts store and they told me they were unable to get me a replacement strut without knowing the poundage of the original which isn't marked on it anywhere. All my...

I'm thinking real hard about getting a rollback type tonneau cover right now. I have a fiberglass cover currently and it has rubbed the paint off of the rear corners of my bed. plus the hard cover makes it hard to put items in the back of my truck that are taller than the sides of the bed, I...

I was checking out Bedrug bed liners and they look pretty nice but say they are for 94 and newer S-10's. Anything like this out there for our trucks?

I'm running a 422 with headers, Vortec's, ported intake and a T-68 (hope that's enough info). What are most people with similar setups shifting at, and does anyone know the weights I would use to achieve it? I'm thinking somewhere around 5800rpm maybe? My tranny guy said he'd change the...

Seems like this would be a lot easier/faster with an impact wrench. Would an electric impact do the trick? I remember hearing they aren't nearly as good as air impacts but are they good enough and would they run off of an inverter plugged into my lighter socket? Buying a compressor and...
