While driving today the glass covering of my chip display fell off. While putting it back on lining up the two holes for the buttons, somehow the chip locked at T1F5. I tried to change the setting to no avail. When I shut down the engine and restarted, the chip setting jumped (this happens...

I recently used racing fuel in my vehicle just to see if it made any difference (yes I am a newbie to the site though I've owned my Ty since 1993). It is simply amazing how the engine responds. It runs better, not as hot, and the performance is increased. Unfortunately, the price is quite...

My mechanic has provided me with a decision and I wanted to run it by all you veterans. I have a stock head in my current vehicle. The engine was ported all specs similar to those of a Vortec engine, but no Vortec heads. My mechanic promised me a Vortec and he has stated that he will install...

How wide a tire can I go with stock Rims? I use the Nitto 245 50 R16's right now all the way around and would like a wider tire for the rears. Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I tried racing fuel and it still is not working. There is definite hesitation right after 2800 RPM, like a hump then it picks up power. WIll have to go back in there to find if there is another short. Since I had to have the valve covers removed to find out the build number for the...

On a very irregular basis, by brake lights stay on. If I don;'t notice it, they stay on all night long. If I catch it, all I have to do is tap the brakes a few times and they stay off. Any suggestions?

I have searched the site, and I still cannot figure out how to post some pics of my truck post wash and then post wax job. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Was on my way to a local car show, just wanted to get some ideas for a good place to paint my Ty and this BMW 745i started to rev its engines. My engine is not yet ready for prime time, (still working on a PROM and chip isse) but I could not resist. Either this guy had no idea how to drive...

Been having some vibration problems (post in suspension forum) and can't find the cause. (idler arm may bit a smidge loose but not enough to cause this vibration). My mechanic pulled the tires and found 6.5 ounces tacked on to the passenger front tire, the area where all the vibration seems to...

To preface this, I am very limited in my experience to work on my vehicle. I am not a DIY type of guy simply due to lack of experience and time. I have done a search of the forums and still have the following questions. My vehicle vibrates substantially at high speeds. When I reach over 65...

Does anyone in the Phoenix Area know of any gas stations that sell 100+ Octane fuel? I know that some companys sell it, but I don't feel like driving around allover town looking for one. (much less calling the 1000 or so stations arund here!)

Had my windshield replaced today, Diamond Autoglass. Very Nice people, nice tech and free Omaha Steaks!!! :cowboy: As I was about to park the Ty in the garage - I noticed that he failed to replace the wiper arms and windshield wipers!! :steamer: I chased after him but I could not find him...

I am planning on re-painting my Typhoon once my wife cools off from my most recent Ty expenditures. I know that the decals/emblems on the Ty are probably not to be found at GM anymore. I also know that there may be people out there with a lot of talent that can duplicate the emblems. I want...

I've owned my Typhoon since 1993. Pretty much since the beginning, there has been a sqeak in the area of the rear window. I, as well as every mechanic I've seen, have tried to figure out the sqeek - no help. Also, the button in the front that pops open the rear window doesn't - though that...

I am a new member. I have a 1993 Typhoon. I am on my third engine and third transmission. I am having some problems with the PROM, as a result, I cannot use the chip set or 3 bar. Does anyone know of anybody who can program/burn the PROM to accomodate the specifics of engine. Just trying to...
