121 MPH at 3,400 pounds is 340 net horsepower. That's net after drivetrain, alternator, and other losses. Not bad.

Phil: How did that cam respond at low RPM, before boost built? I would expect kind of lethargic, especially with the low compression turbo engines should have. I've never seen a cam with 0 deg of overlap. The exhaust closes at exactly the same time the intake opens. 6 deg AFTC. On the other...

Who gives a shit? There were no 1992 red/red. So it's a fake. Probably has a fake odometer reading too.

If you can find a 98-up 4X4 Blazer rear axle, take the whole thing. There are several differences. The axle shaft is 3/16" longer. The mounting plate welded to the axle tube is in a different location. I used a complete axle. I had functioning park brakes with an hour work. There's a thread on...

DO NOT OPEN THE LINK!! It locked up my computer with the "call this number scam" that was run years ago to get you to call a number that charged exorbitant phone fees. Anyone remember the Bubba's Garage thread? (Something like that title.) That was F-ing epic.

Bolt it to a loose head and weld it. There is an 'art' to welding cast iron so it won't crack adjacent to the weld, so be sure the guy doing it knows what he's doing. Pre-heating the part prior to welding is an important step in the process. That was my plan for the crack if it had gotten bad...

I'm sorry you're having trouble with the mounts. "Motor mounts" have been a frequent topic of discussion on here since 1998, when I joined. Comes up all the time. The original Chevrolet (not aftermarket) mounts were good for 10-15 years in stock street driven trucks. Yes they were $100 each in...

I haven't seen "chelo" on here in ages. One of the OGs. Cool. I'll help. I have an engine harness. Probably 2 or 3 of them. I can also help with what wires need to go where, or be abandoned, in a swap.

That one is in bad shape. It looks like has fractured all the way through in one section. I didn't recall that ".087 end play" would be detrimental, but after seeing the washer, it is good that you took it apart for an inspection. I was wrong thinking that .087 wasn't "excessive". Now we know...

Thanks, Friend. I occasionally reflect on us bashing around on the trails in Breckenridge in the rental Kia. And the late-night just-us story-telling in SyTy Chat. Fun times.

You can "disagree" all you want, but look at the pic. The hoods are lower than they are with the factory support. Both of his trucks do have cowl hoods. I didn't install his kits, he did. As the fender bracket moves forward, the hood opens further but the shock may 'bottom' before the hood is...

Odd that I opened this thread for the first time tonight. I want to point out that these struts don't open the hood as far as they are when the OEM support is used. I've owned and been working on S-series and SyTy for 30+ years. I'm accustomed to where the edge of the hood is while working in...

All Syclones had black cladding. There is no cladding RPO on a Syc;lone. Another misconception is that original Syclone cladding is "Raw Black Plastic". Nope. All cladding was painted. Including Black, including Syclones.

If I were doing one of these conversions, here's how I would do it: 4L60e: Use the T-case sender as an input to the DRAC. Use the 2X output of the DRAC for the trans signal to the transmission controller. (This is exactly how it is done on a 1993/4 S-series 4X4 with the 4L60e.) 4L80e with...

Ok. I responded a couple days ago, but took it down as I couldn't remember one detail that is pertinent.. It has been awhile since I had one apart, but I've had a bunch of them on my bench. There should be some end play in the input shaft. .087 is quite a bit, but not alarming. Here's the...

Interior door panels for the 93 Ty are identicle to 93 and 94 Jimmy SLT (Leather Interior Trim) both 2-door and 4-door. The color may be tough, many SLTs were tan and lt grey. Not charcoal.

There. Fixed it.

The angles that are measured and that matter are at the two u-joints. What angle the drive shaft is to any other reference such as the crankshaft, frame, floor pan, ground, etc is irrelevant. Up to 1 degree difference is allowable. Not 3. If I am interpreting your measurements correctly, you...

Technically, all SyTy are 4-wheel ABS. The 91 and 92 are "4- input". They have speed sensors on each wheel. The 93 is "3-input". The 93 uses the VSS signal for the rear wheel speed signal. Two front sensors, and VSS for the rear. All 3 systems are "3-channel" ABS. The module can control each...

No, it wasn't. It was a probe that conducted or not based on coolant level. With the probe submerged in coolant, resistance was low. With the probe dry, resistance was high. The state of the probe was interperted by a module that controlled the dash light and boost relay. For some reason...
