5w30 in my 5.3 Silverado till about 250k then moved to 10w30 till approximately 390k. Now winther is 10w30 and summer is 15w40 so it carries decent pressure. Father in law had it from basically new till i got it at 395k. Probably wouldn't need the heavier oil now if when he started having...
Richard Holdener dynoed a 5.3 with all accessories and stock intake tube and manifolds and got 313ish without cats and muffler.

So yeah you were probably close to 320 with headers and K&n. Id say you're doing pretty good now
I think if you are towing in a hilly area where you have long grades it would probably be advantageous. Or as a just in case for if the trailer loses brakes.
Did you happen to get numbers off of the front ring and pinion set for the gear ratio?
That way you could pull the rear diff cover and compare, to make sure one or the other haven't been replaced over the years. Assuming you aren't the only owner.
Because if in 4 high and no front cvs you...
Cheapest way for the non satellite radio vehicles i have the shown bluetooth adapter in my tahoe, but i tied it into the satellite radio. You could just use the tape player for the same end result
Yes and no. Yes this can happen when tire diameters are different. But they have to be more different than new vs worn tires of the same size.
I know this because MY daily work truck is an older Ford 4x4 and from the factory it had a 3.55 rear and a 3.54 front.This was commonplace as 4.09 was...
This is a good possibility. My old blazer did something similar. Seemed like it was binding in low, when really it was the chain jumping because of slack.
My 06 can't either. Even with traction control off the brake torque management drops timing when the throttle and brake are both applied. It is more of an suv thing. My 06 Silverado will power brake no problem though.
This tells me everything I need to know to make a choice.
My local junkyard sells pullout parts for a reasonable price with a small warranty. Since you plan to sell it, that is what I would do.
Money to rebuild it and any hard parts...IF the case is even still good. Since SOME failures can...
Ok, let me try to follow you.
If all the fuses are pulled, and the starter cable is connected, you have a 10 amp draw?
And which 15 fuses are you pulling?
A few possibilities could be a bad ignition switch that isnt turning off all the way, and leaving stuff powered.
Your alternator could...
In the late 90s I ran a 350 with flat tops in the even holes and a 64 cc head and 5cc dished pistons in the odd holes with a 59 cc head. Built it out of spare parts in a bucket, used 260he cam and mismatched used lifters.
Daily driver for a year and a half. You do what ya gotta do, pulled the...
You are definitely correct concerning pinion size. But at the power level basic bolt-ons provide, and not ramrodding in low range the 8.5/8.6 in these rigs will be fine. I think problems start around the 5.00 numbers on this specific rearend. I have personal experience with 4.56s in an 8.5...
Yeah hears something about plug colors at one time, and yes the 4l70e has the iss so those vehicles have to use a 4l70e. But a 60e can be replaced with a 70e.
The newer stuff i haven't seen much experimentation with as a whole. But, on my 9th gen fseries forum, multiple members have seen a 2 to 3 mpg gain on the 300 i6 and 302 trucks by swapping from 3.08s and 3.31s to a minimum of 3.73s and some even 4.11s. And it comes down to not lugging the...
