    I like that. I actually have a quart of 5w40 left.

    Yeah, I noticed that on RockAuto when somebody mentioned the 1.7 starters, I've decided to check the 6.2's and sure enough, there it was. That's what I picked up actually. Got a few parts needing install. I tell you what, accidentally bought some rotella t6 15w40 instead of 5w40... My goodness...

    180,000mi Tahoe happily living between 3000-6500 rpms. She handles the curves quite well considering the 3" lift and mud terrains.

    I put the filter in mine many moons ago, but I still get this very dirty smell switching between AC and vent. Need to clean the evaporator one of these days.

    After I cleaned all my battery connections and got the new starter battery put in, mine sounds about like that, but I'm still going to put the new 1.7 KW in sooner or later.

    Just rang the old girl out out for ~35Mi through the mountains, a long time in 2nd gear between 3-6k rpm. Only the second time I've been on that road, and the first time at night. Figures, got stuck behind a convertible mustang for quite some time, going well under the speed limit and hang...

    The more miles the "Towhoe" gets, the more she's referred to as "'Ol Girl" instead.

    Tire rotation, oil change, 4.5 year old battery out, new battery in, and check up on the 18-month-old battery.

    The cheapest e85 I can find in Southern California right now is 3.39...

    I found the 1.7 KW 11t starters when I searched for the 6.2L Grabbed a Remy from RockAuto. We'll see how that works, and I guess I'll finish my big three and upgrade the starter wire at the same time. All these factory starters are gear reduction also, they just use a planetary style reduction.

    Bubble burster! I don't know, they've been around a long time, but not used as much obviously because you really only need them for high compression engines that are hard to turn over.

    Rolled 180 this morning. Anybody know of high torque starters for these things? Thinking of slapping one in when I eventually plop the new engine in, for **** and gigz.

    My factory muffler was sounding pretty "farty" chocked up and muffled before I swapped it out.

    If anything, I would think it's easier on the trans to manually shift, because you're going to hold whatever gear you want for however long you want rather than it shifting back and forth and hunting and locking/unlocking the converter constantly. Only downside is, definitely get worse MPGs...

    Those look like the ones from rod louvers. Likely the "11x17 Large" size

    I want to easily vent the engine bay heat when I get the Whipple under there. Those fit well, where'd you get them? Also, with just the vent fan running, did you notice it pulling in hotter air than ambient afterwords?

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Yeah, I've never had DRL's or horn/lights when locking/unlocking. RPO codes show it.

    Yeah, the bumper cut is easy. Just follow the body line. BP follow the notch up in the center which is why you see the black metal bumper in the middle. I cut mine straight across instead so it's only plastic visible still. The skid plate I'm not sure.
