    anyone do E-fans on a obs??

    Then you probably have the 140a alt - if so, you're ok!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/60-AMP-Electric-Fan-Relay-Temp-Switch-Wiring-Harness-/400204469730?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item5d2e0b95e2 You must get a 60amp relay kit. This kit above has a temp sensor, so as soon as the temp is...

    anyone do E-fans on a obs??

    if you're having a tough time with wiring, I would personally just buy a kit....that's what I did. They have a lot of one speed setups out there and it will come with all the parts necessary. The ones with the probes that slide in between the radiator blades are the cheapest and easiest to...

    Voltage drop/alternator question

    unless you have issues with your grounds, my guess would be a 100amp if you are already seeing drops in voltage. Unless you plan on adding some heavy duty items, you could stay in the 140a - 160a range w/o issues. I have a 140a (stock) on mine and it's handled the power from my 1500w subs...

    Best oil for 100K + engines?

    i think we should start with - what oil are you currently using? (conventional, blended, or fully synthetic) If you're running conventional, stick with it. If you're running synthetic, all of the brands listed are pretty good - I personally put Mobile 1 in all my vehicles (synthetic for all...

    MPG improvements

    Not trying to bust on you, but 2mpg is about a 15% improvement...not sure how replacing a fan can make your entire rig 15% more fuel efficient. I also have an efan and even though it's a cool mod, I think it's vastly overrated for our rigs...sorry don't mean to be a downer, I just see this a...

    Need help

    what's the story on the '10, why was it turned in so quickly? what kind of warranty will it come with? what is the cost of an extended warranty? also, i'm not sure on the '12 releases, but if you can wait a few weeks (maybe a month or two) that new '11 may start seeing some nice discounts...

    General CB Radio advice.

    sunlit - you're a trip man...that thing is a beast of capabilities. I was thinking the same thing regarding a small CB - what do you recommend on how far away it has to be from the radio? I have a denali center console...maybe i could mount it in there...hmmm

    brake conversion

    +1 on sunlit's comments. Rear disc conversion is only for looks. If you want to improve stopping power start with high performance pads and if you want more, research the hydroboost conversion. Your Tahoe utilizes a "vacuum" system to power assist the brakes. Heavy Duty (3/4 ton & 1 ton)...

    Performance Upgrades

    Blackbear is a vendor on here - many of us have his tune on our rigs from the early 90's through the new ones (like yours) There are lots of options, contact them directly (they subforum on here) and/or search for feedback on Justin's (owner) work.

    anyone do E-fans on a obs??

    I've been contemplating this...what is the OEM gauge? When i looked at it, i was guessing 4ga. I was thinking of replacing it with one of my high end (knu conceptz) 4ga leftovers from my stereo build. Running 1ga to it would be extreme overkill... I'm not great in electronics, but i've...

    anyone do E-fans on a obs??

    +1 - getting a cap adds one more point of failure and there's really no need for one....remember, this fan came out of a car made in the '90s, and they used a stock electrical system. however, if you like science experiments with your rig (i personally do) go for it...but you can spend the...

    anyone do E-fans on a obs??

    +1 - I'm currently running 60amp relays protected by a 50amp fuse. Remember, the fuse should be lower then the relay...relays are more expensive to fix if they blow...and I have a Mark VIII One step at a time!!! :)

    285 or 265

    you'll be fine with performance...if you're worried about it, get a blackbeartune for that extra bump in power, change in torque mgmt, and altered shift pts/firmness. just so know, your gas mileage is going to decrease. As sunlit mentioned, you have a lot more rolling mass with the heavier...

    WOW - I want!

    So do i... I normally don't like lifted Hummers, but I think this guy did a really tasteful job in all his mods. I'm seriously contemplating buying this bad boy...is it weird to not buy it simply bc i'm "loyal" to the rig (tahoe) i've been building for the last 1.5yrs?? That gobi rack...
