Re: Converter Thanks for the info and yes I did have a huge trans cooler installed at the same time.

Just had the trans in my Ty modified at a local trans shop with a new converter with a stall speed around 2500 -2600. What I have noticed is that besides the truck being quicker off the line, is that when I am just driving normally and the trans shifts into 3rd, the rpms will drop, then a second...

Had the same 'click, click' problem with my Ty once too often and decided enough was enough and went with what I thought was the best starter around - GM Performance Parts Hi-Torque Mini-Starter, #12361146. This high performance gear reduction starter is designed for 1958-96 Chevrolet V8 and all...

I want to improve on the stock water to air intercooler that comes on the Ty but want to keep the basic system intact. So when you look under the hood, you see a what looks like a stock Ty. So can I do this by changing out the ic pump to a bigger one that flows more or do I have to change out...

Recently, my Ty (low miles 19K) develope a annoying miss. This developed early on a long trip (700 miles) but I was able to make it home. I thought bad gas so added some octane booster with no change. Cleaned the K&N and changed out the coil to a MSD but still have the problem. It seems to be...

Ramchargers Fan Ramchargers Fan Checked out this fan and I see they have it available with custom wiring harness too. Will this work with the Ty and be a plugin type application or is easier to just buy the fan separate and wire it directly? Also, I live in Southern Cal where we see triple...

Dyno day Dyno day I did sign up. Looks like fun.

Party Party Sorry, cancel my being there. Just realized you guys are up north in San Jose and not SoCal. A little too far for me. Would have liked to have met out syTy lovers.

Party Party I plan on being at the AWD dyno day and would like to join in on the party. Been to a couple of meetings and would like to get to know everyone better. Let me know if I can bring something for food. Since I don't drink, I'll just bring some diet coke too.

Dyno Day Dyno Day Sounds like fun. Count me in.

My beautiful red/red 93 has only 17K on her. Right now, all she has in upgrades is exhaust (hi-po cat and 3" magnaflow all the way to the back), Walpro 255 pump, bitpull chip and K&N filter. The truck is reliable and fun to drive and looks much better with the chrome ZR1 wheels all around with a...

Turbo Turbo No, as far as I know, it is still stock according to the guy who sold it to me.

Idler arm Idler arm I had the same problem with mine and with only 16K on the truck. I had been hearing a 'clunk' both while steering and shutting the engine off. Didn't happen very often. After I installed the 17"ZR1 wheels, I took it to an alignment shop and the guy called me and told me I...

June Meeting June Meeting Hey Guys, was hoping to make the meeting to show off the new ZR1 wheels but some landscaping I am having done got started late and is still on-going now at 4:30. I'll plan on making July's meeting and by then I should have the new turbo and intercooler on. I heard on...

I am not using their chip, I have a 10 program Ultimate chip that I got on ebay. The mechanic didn't like their chip either.

No, actually Kenny Bell sent me a SyTy catalog and they still carry many go fast parts for our trucks. When I called Mike at RPM to inquire about my order for a gauge pod, I happened to mention some add ons I was putting on the Ty and if the ultimate chip needed some kind of an upgrade for the...

I just purchased a set of the ZR1 wheels with the 9.5" up front with the 56mm offset and the 17x11" in the rear with the 50mm offset. I understand the rears will fit fine but that the fronts will rub and some grinding needs to be done. Can anybody tell me what and where I need to grind? Also, I...

I have a Kenny Bell air to air intercooler on order that comes complete with the battery relocation kit and Optima battery. Now someone tells me the Race Proven Motors intercooler is a much better design. Anybody got an opinion on these two intercoolers?

SoCal SyTy meeting SoCal SyTy meeting What are the details for May's meeting? Is it at the same place as April and is it tomorrow, May1?

Thanks for the reply Nasario. So one of your buddies saw the same Ty in Perris too. Not too many of them made. Yeah, if you've seen a red/red Ty in Riverside it was probably mine. Would love to hear what you have done to your Sy. You should come to a SoCal SyTy meeting sometime. First Saturday...
