    Update

    Ok, just yesterday the electrician finally found the culprit: One of the three wires on the (modified) connector of the MAP sensor was shorted out. After the new computer arrived and all the sensors (TPS, MAP, IAT...) had been replaced, the new computer still gave fault codes on all of them. The...

    Alternative pistons?

    Ok guys, I'm in BIG trouble here. To my chagrin, we found out that one of the piston pins (I'm not sure if it's piston #1 or #2) had crept and scoffed the cylinder wall. I'm not even sure if the pistons are the same spec (i.e. crown shape) as the original ones. I found that the pistons were an...

    Grafting a turbo?

    Ok, I'm just throwing this up in the air. In case the OE turbocharger goes bust, what other turbos can fit with the minimum amount of modifications/trouble? Anyone tried bolting (or welding) on something else?

    Summer vs all-season

    Does it really make that much of a difference? Do you even care? My truck came with Toyo FZ4's that look like they don't have many miles on them, so I'm not about to replace those at this time. I just might, though, because the previous (and negligent) owner had left the truck parked in the sun...

    Glass-fiber snorkel?

    Guys, the intake snorkel (from filter assembly to turbo) is cracked and broken off at both ends. I'm playing with the idea of having one made out of glass fiber. Has anyone of you done that? If so, any issues with heat and durability? Shady

    Just the ECM?

    OK, I'm about to order a remanned ECM from Alex, but first, I wanna ask this just to make sure I wouldn't need anything else. It goes like this: The truck would be running fine, and then all of a sudden the check engine comes on and the trucks starts to sputter and misfire for about 15 to 30...

    Axle offset to the right...?

    Guys, The rear axle seems to have crept to the right - the right wheel sticks out a bit while the left is a little tucked in. With speed, the vehicle seems to fishtail, especially once I lift off of the accelerator. I just had the leaf bushings replaced and did the wheel alignment. Any...

    Poor preformance...?

    Ok here's the situation: The truck feels weak on power, as if the turbo isn't working (but it is - I can hear it!) When I plant the pedal it doesn't accelerate as it should. Tonight I timed it at 9 seconds to 100km/h, and then it starts sputtering and misfiring. We replaced spark plugs and...

    Alternative transmission?

    Hey people, I'm just floating this idea. Has any of you installed an alternative to the stock transmission into the truck? What other GM models could be possible donors? Shady

    He died on me today!
