    Tire Recommendations

    Re: Tire Recommendations SZ50's were the best tires I ever had. I have Michelin Pilot super sports on my DD right now and they're awesome. But I just went to Michelin's site and they don't even make a 245/50/16 in any tire, so they're out. Finding a GOOD performance tire for the stock...

    0 compression problem solved?

    Re: 0 compression problem solved? Hey Dave, it's an intake rocker. I haven't popped the rocker off yet to take a look at it. You are correct though, the nut is tightened up the same as the others yet there's plenty of room between the push rod and the rocker. I'll see what it looks like at...

    0 compression problem solved?

    Re: 0 compression problem solved? Hahaha sorry, had MAF sensor on the brain from my DD... meant to put IAC valve. I have an ATR chip with 2 bar (still trying to track down a stock chip), and I popped the 3 bar in there and piggy backed the ATR onto my ultimate chip, just to see if the...

    0 compression problem solved?

    Re: 0 compression problem solved? Thanks GottaSy for the heads up! :tup: I'll dive back into it next weekend when I have more time, and keep my fingers crossed that this was the sole culprit. Although this does have me wondering if the whole motor is all gunked up from sitting for so long...

    0 compression problem solved?

    Maybe.... Well first off, let me come right out and say I'm an idiot.:oops: Sorry for wasting everyone's time asking dumb/speculative questions instead of just tearing into this bitch to see what was wrong. I'm even more angry at myself now, because my truck has been sitting for 2 years...

    Head Gaskets?

    Re: Head Gaskets? Started it up this morning... and well this probably isn't optimum... checked the oil out too, and contrary to my earlier statement, oil still looks ok, but does smell like gas. I also did that silly "paper test" at the exhaust pipe which allegedly tells you if you have a...

    Experienced Coil Over Conversions

    Re: Experienced Coil Over Conversions Do you have any problems with the back end bottoming out with the lowering leafs? I had 3" blocks in the back with stock leafs, and Koni reds, and it was pretty bouncy. I put in the belltech drop leafs, got 1" lowering blocks, set back plates, and set...

    Are you on Facebook?

    Re: Are you on Facebook? Hahaha I feel the same way about Facebook in general, it's gotta be even more annoying than "reaction" or "unboxing" videos on youtube, when all you're trying to find is REAL information. :roll: The 92 hate is lame... I specifically sought out a 92 The silver decals...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Re: Ha! Man this forum is dead! A SyTy "how to" youtube channel????:woot: If not, someone with the means and knowledge should do that, at least you'd get SOME monetization for your efforts. However it would probably turn into a shit show in the comments section with a ton of questions, nay...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Re: Ha! Man this forum is dead! Yup! That's my Ty! :roll: Hey Dave, I appreciate your posts! And really all of the "how to" posts. 90% of what I know about cars in general I learned from this site over the last 16 years. But, I'll be the first to admit, I still don't know jack shit about...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Re: Ha! Man this forum is dead! To be fair, I never really had any major problems with my Syclone. Aside from replacing the front propshaft, a window motor, and the pass side front axle, my Sy was solid! I think where the problems come in is the inability to leave them alone... gotta make...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Re: Ha! Man this forum is dead! The conversational rules of etiquette have gone out the window with the advent of social media. Everyone feels compelled to use it as their soapbox to regurgitate the misinformation they read/heard on whichever news source to use to get "facts", or worse voice...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Re: Ha! Man this forum is dead! Facebook has ruined more than just this forum hahaha. I ditched that crap a LONG time ago, and I can only imagine how bad it is now. I'm not on any social media with the exception of twitter and I only follow hockey and bands there. Can't get annoyed or...

    Ha! Man this forum is dead!

    Haha I remember back like 10 years ago when you'd have to sift through 4-5 pages in the Lounge just to find threads from the previous day, now there's threads on the first page that go back a month. I'll admit I quit coming here just because it got aggravating to see guys with running trucks...

    Head Gaskets?

    Re: Head Gaskets? I'm gonna pull the cover off this POS on saturday and start it up... it's been at least a year since it's even been started. I'll let it run a bit and check the oil again to see if it smells like gas. I'll top off the radiator as well and see what happens there. I saw a...

    Head Gaskets?

    Re: Head Gaskets? Oil is clean... no signs of it mixing with coolant/water, and doesn't smell burnt.

    Head Gaskets?

    Re: Head Gaskets? Not to sound thick, but if the coolant from the overflow tank doesn't go back into the radiator, then where's it going? Initially i thought because the motor had been sitting for some time that maybe some of the veins in the block were clogged up and were eventually working...
