ginger has a NBS, :saywhat!:

fuel pump was installed last night.

fuck that stupid locking ring.

waiting for Wretched73 to buy his knock sensors, and we will do my truck and his at the same time.

 

[Khaos]

The locking ring is what held up my dad and I when we were doing it in his Yukon. Ended up saying fuck it and had our mechanic do it. Wasn't fun at all doing it in a SUV.

 

[Ginger]

i had to use a air chisel to get it free and fuck around with the tabs for a while before i was finally able to hammer it tight.


bitch is silent compared to the old one

 

[slicksierra]

I use that fuel pump whine to gauge of its working or not lol I know if it's silent I'm in trouble

I had a high flow Edelbrock one on the Silverado, fucker was loud as hell lol.

 

[Ginger]

mine was loud, for a while i could put marvel mystery oil in it, and it would quiet it down some. the last year, that didnt even help. and with 186k on the pump. and i have a trip to Maryland. Connecticut and Syracuse all coming up in the next month and a half, i didnt want to risk it.

 

[Ginger]

fuck i keep getting code PO420 which is a cat code.

normally when your o2 sensor takes a shit, it pops up with a specific code for that o2 correct?

 

[2005_Silverado]

most likely its a cat....swap o2's with the other side just to make sure tho.

 

[Ginger]

fuuuuuu.

 

[Huck]

Yeah o2 codes are specifically o2. You probably have a clogged cat. My old truck clogged the cats at 150ish and then the aftermarket y pipe I had put on spit the guts of the cats out at 158ish. Bullshit

 

[Ginger]

ugh, i dont really feel like doing long tubes and shit at the moment.

 

[Huck]

After my last truck I won't be doing long tubes on this one, fuck that

 

[Ginger]

738 for a y pipe on gmpartsdirect


WTF

 

[Huck]

We got 2 aftermarket Y-pipes put on by a local muffler shop (1 for my truck and 1 for mom's surburban) for ~550 IIRC. I think I'd find a competent shop that could cut in some Magnaflows or something or if I'm out of this emissions county by then I'll just delete the cats

 

[Fiesty]

bruh, buy magnaflow cat, chop off old ones and weld up the new one

 

[BOO5TED]

738 for a y pipe on gmpartsdirect


WTF

Buy me some LTs and you can have my factory y pipe, sensors and all.

 

[slicksierra]

The speed engineering ypipe and LTs are cheap. Just gotta spray those bolts down for like a month lol I don't blame you for not wanting to try. Jegs has an off-road y that's like 150, bolts up to stock manifolds

i would be all for long tubes if i didnt just put this exhaust on and really like the sound.

ill prolly just chop out the cats and weld magnaflow ones in.

 

[Ginger]

finally doing some work on this again.

yesterday i changed the PCV valve, Spark Plugs and Wires.

This week i plan on changing the y pipe. i think it was Khaos that gave me the link for a cheap OEM one new.

The hood is going to get repainted soon as theres some serious rock chips in it.


if it wasnt for me owing taxes i would buy the new wheels i want already.

 

[Khaos]

Yeah that Amazon link iirc. Your cats are shot, right?
