    Single cab sub suggestion??

    03 silverado. Currently have 2 JL 12s. With a JL amp. Been thinking of building a box for 4 subs total. I can't decide with 4 12s or 2 12s and 2 10s. The 12s would be ran together and 10s together on 2 amps. If 4 12s then I'd run two amps to two subs. But trying to figure out what we be...

    Cammed LQ9 budget?

I will need to purchase a good running low mile engine and then the parts for the cam swap, some long tubes, and I'm sure a few other parts. Can I realistically do this for around $3500 or less...

    Trans temp sensor

    So. Me and my buddy were talking tonight and he brought up a good point about Esky/Nali/etc gauge clusters. He's got an 03 Z71 that did not come with the towing package and doesn't have a trans cooler. If he puts in an Esky cluster, will the trans temp be able to be programmed? I know it's...

    Cam time-possible DoD failure

    Well, it seems the DoD lifter plague hit my car Friday night while in San Antonio, I was able to get the car back home safely yesterday. I'm not positive, but it's most likely a failing lifter.

    How To: New axle shafts, axle seals, and outer axle bearings on 8.6 10-bolt

    The other day I was doing a wheel/tire swap on the Sierra when I noticed while it was on jackstands there was a lot of lateral play when I would lift or pull on then axle shafts. Enough play to cause an audible clunk when lifted and let go. Although my axle seals have never leaked fluid, I...

    Upgrading 2014 Sierra Lights
