    As The Vortec Turns.....

    On today's episode, we find the plugs saturated in fuel. Not since the days of carburation has such an event been seen by Phone Man. Will he find a solution? Will the forum suggest one? Stay tuned... Same Bat Time, Same Bat Thread. ---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post...

    ID this please!

    It's the connection to the block heater. In place of one of the freeze plugs is a heating element. On the other end of that wire should be a 110v plug. Look around behind the drivers side headlight and grill. It's used to heat up the water in the block for warmer starts in the winter.

    throttle being held abnormally high - strange...

    I have had this exact same problem along with surging idle. I did so many changes to correct the problem, i can suggest a few. First take out the IAC and see if it works by leaving it connected and just turn the key forward with out starting the engine and see if the pindle moves. Each time the...

    Low/fluctuating Idle and No Start

    Before pulling the fuel pump, replace the fuel filter. Try some Chevron Techtron injector cleaner too.

    I'll have to run that test later, but when it is surging and I unplug the IAC, the surging stops.

    Hey guys got my hands on a tech 2, to get an understanding on idle surging and stalling with this motor.Some of you know the story of this. BTW I did the 411 swap and it went very well. I'll post some pics soon. However, this helped a little with the idle issue. I have some values that maybe...

    Transfer Case Noise

    Did you get under the truck? Spin the drive shaft. I have had a clicking sound from the back of my xfer case for years now. Not saying its a good thing. I hear it especially when going throough a drive-thru cause of the acoustics. Someone said it's a link in the chain slapping around the case...

    Full Roller Rocker Arms

    I looked into the 1.6 and all my research showed that the slots on stock vortec heads for the pushrods need to be elongated. I have a set of full roller 1.5's from Scorpion i'm going to put in soon.

    cold air intake

    I have the Volant and it has pros and cons. The pro is the enclosed air box. I feel that this is a MUST. The con is that bolt pattern for the throttle body is slightly off. The bolts use a washer between the bolt head and the tube when mated to the throttle body. There is no room for the washer...

    Android Torque?

    I just checked the app out on the android market and it doesn't say that it can write back. Are you sure it can do that? If so can you tell me the exact harware and app your using? Thanks

    Shortie header question?

    Mine were "plug n play. Everything lined up perfectly. BTW get yourself a new EGR pipe. Mine cracked from age during installation.

    Shortie header question?

    I have JBA shorties in stainless. Probably the best header i've ever owned and the easiest to put in.

    411 Swap

    Ok, I put in my order to Lextech. Info to soon follow.

    411 Swap

    Thanks for that. Are there any issues with the AC or grounding pins. Most of what I have read elsewhere seem to concern issues with LS based vehicles.

    411 Swap

    Hey guys. I am planning on doing the 411 swap in my 99. I have the pin-outs from Lextech. It seems pretty simple. I'm just wondering if anyone has issues specific to our trucks that I should be aware of. Thanks

    Will an LS 4L60 or 65 fit in a 99 Tahoe

    I had the same issue. You will need a spacer with the LS version b/c it is shorter and the converters are different. The kit is from GM and comes with longer bolts and dowel pins. A major drawback is that the cable is too tight and you can't drop it into 1st. Also the dip stick will not fit so...

    Spider Injectors

    Yup, used a new o-ring each time. Covered that sucker with MAP gas and no rise in idle. I do have the EFI LIVE scanner that I bought from Black Bear. Awesome tool and it's worth it because you can get more tunes which are included in the cost of the unit. Let me know what parameters are needed...

    Spider Injectors

    Just meant that there was a go0od seal on the spider unit's o-ring. I replaced the upper and lower manifolds with new ones. I've tried everything and replaced everything to fix this issue. I want to drive this truck off a cliff.

    Well lubed and not tight. Heard the air squeeze out. New upper and lower done.

    Spider Injectors

    Hey all, I am starting to second guess myself here. I replaced the spider injectors and don't recall there being and o-rings for the injectors going into the bores of the manifold. In fact I know my unit didn't have any so I just inserted them until they were tight in the bore. Am I ok here...

    Yay! I ordered more stuff for the Yuk today!

    Order ARP stainless bolts for the vortec intake. The same thing happened to me! The bolts are worth it. Don't forget to put blue thread locker. Max torque on the bolts is 11 lbs. Use FELPRO MS98000T gasket kit. IMO these are the best intake gaskets.
