Re: High Idle just following up on this thread... The problem is now 100% consistent... Start the truck, rpms go up to about 1800 and hold. Eventually they'll come back down to normal 600-800... but the time to do that is completely random. Sometimes it'll do it quick, other times it'll...

Re: New system in the Typhoon if you end up going double din, let me know how that works out... You'll need to get a heat gun to soften up the AC vent tubing and compress it with a 2x4 or something, so the deck isn't sticking out of the dash 1"+. You're also gonna have to come up with a...

Re: gas pedal came apart?? i have all the parts i need, i just haven't got a clue how the hell it all goes together

first time this has ever happened. I was in the ty the other day and my shoe got under the gas pedal and i didn't realize it... when i went to get out of the ty my foot caught the pedal and i heard a snap sound... looked around didnt notice anything... today i drove it to the store and the...

Re: SoCal SyTy Summer Gathering? my Ty is nowhere near track ready, so food n cruise sounds fine to me...

Re: Sadly no Typhoon Successor in sight - A Bitter Sweet Day! GM is a company I will never understand. They come up with cool concept ideas to get everyone excited and then they roll out something completely different. So really this is just another version of the ATS. Tiger Woods and...

Re: Sadly no Typhoon Successor in sight - A Bitter Sweet Day! i heard these were just concepts... did it get the green light? 3.8 turbo? Some of the concept drawings I saw look pretty awesome! It'd be nice to see GM toughen up Buick since there's no more Pontiac. They gotta use the classic...

Re: Boost contollers? i looked at that one, watched a ton of videos, read a bunch of forums etc... it's definitely awesome, and i haven't heard anything bad about it either. But i still opted for the AEM, not because of money, but because I figured why pay for features that I just wouldn't...

Re: 15psi = 15* right?

Re: sy/ty the modern equivalent to our trucks is the SRT Cherokee. Can't say I'd buy one though... I'm sure I'm the only one who's going to say this, but I actually like the smallness of these trucks. I'm not 6'5", and my Ty isn't something I'd take a bunch of friends cruising in... so...

Re: 15psi = 15* right? damn! 19-20?? The 12 i'm getting IS highway mileage. Might have to make a trip to Ventura this weekend to try this E85! Does the Ty run bad if you did a stronger mix say like 50/50?

Re: 15psi = 15* right? closest E85 is about 35 miles away haha... only logical solution to that is to bring a gas can with me when I know i'll be in the area with my DD. What kind of mileage are you getting with the E85? I'm averaging 12.2mpg which is up a lil bit from 11.8mpg on the last...

Re: Debating on selling my Typhoon I've been there man... in fact, I am there. Talk to me after you overpaid for a truck that turned out to have a blown motor, only to have it sit in the garage for 5 years while you make payments and pay full coverage insurance on it, and then have it sit for...

Re: 15psi = 15* right? Here's a pretty good explanation to shit gas that I just found on the google machine... The short answer is, get alky.

Re: 15psi = 15* right? thanks! I'm not questioning your answer but asking a question about your answer... Retarding the timing is more of a band aid for shit gas, and I should set it back to 0 after installing the alky for the best possible performance?

Re: 15psi = 15* right? got the air in the IC problem fixed. Ended up putting a hose on the end of the petcock in the lower CCHE, and blowing into it (no pun intended). Took awhile, but finally got all the air out of the system and the flow in the upper IC is back to normal. Although I...

Re: High Idle I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will idle at 2400 for about a minute, the CEL comes on (code 35 IAC error), then the idle eventually drops down to normal after about 2 minutes, and the CEL light goes off. Does it if i haven't driven the truck for a few days. I just...

Re: Tailgate Up or down in terms of aerodynamics.... the tailgate down myth was busted on mythbusters. Better economy with it up.

Re: 15psi = 15* right? thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot tomorrow. I'm fresh out on ideas at this point.

Re: 15psi = 15* right? I completely drained the IC yesterday and then gradually refilled it as the pump was running... I let it run with the cap off the upper for almost 2 hours and I can still hear air in the system and there's no visual coolant flow in the upper either... :rant: I don't get...
