What did you do with your truck/shop today

Have you checked the idle air flow valve for that cold start issue? I'll be replacing mine soon for that very same issue.

I cleaned it recently when I cleaned my throttle body. But not sure if it's good or not, will find out anyway.

Got my 60e ready to be shipped back to Performabuilt. Dropped my mag hytec pan to put the stock pan on

There's supposed to be large metal flakes, right?? [emoji23]

Looks like your rebuilder sux.

It's funny cause he's well known all over the inter webs and I've only seen one other person on ls1tech.com have an issue with him. I'm sure oversized tires weren't helping but no reason for it to fail so soon

Did you do like every other guy that gets a new trans and beat the piss out of it first thing?

MAF wasn't the problem, so I'm going to try swapping out the IAC and see if that helps my problem.

Nope. Didn't take it above 4k rpm and no hard launches until the first drain and refill at 2k miles. It's just my luck with transmissions I suppose

I guess your luck is way worse than mine. Personally I'm thinking the rear end will go out first.

Woke up early and checked everything over on my truck and topped off the tank before going to work. Supposed to be 60MPH winds and the freeway is going to probably flood before I get off work. Expecting 15" of rain and the freeway borders the ocean. Probably going to end up taking a dirt back road home tonight. So my 30 mile commute home will probably turn into a 60 mile commute home.

Looks like I'll be buying a Mag-Hytec diff cover soon so I can change out the gear oil. Since I have the oil coming out of both front and rear diffs, I'm wondering if I should pull the sucker out and put in some 3.43 gears... things to ponder.

My factory one was with the truck till 308k and since then I've had issues. The one rear end was rebuilt with cheap parts and the last one had a rotted housing

Do you have like 3.08 gears now? I made sure to look for the trucks with 3.42's. Luckily, all the high country's come standard with them
