What did you do to your GMT today?

[HARDTRAILZ]

Two badass trucks, Matt and Kyle.

Thank You!

haha I understand Im sure I will get that a lot. I am trying to turbo it again soon if not later in summer I'll swap in an ls2

thats why i have been doing the SS DIC cluster. SS doesnt have to mean supercharged

It never means supercharged. It also should never be on an I-6 truck.

 

[ConeKilrAutoX]

Thank You!

I dont agree. If you have a turbo charged i6 that can beat a v8 ls2 SS I think it can go on there

 

[Me007gold]

Putting an SS badge on an I6 truck, is the same thing as putting a SVT emblem on a v6 mustang. No matter how much you put in to it, its never going to be as good as an SS

so even if you swap an ls2 SS and the rear end and trans from an SS its still not the same?

 

[jrSS]

C'mon. Those with the i-6's who don't wanna slap SS badges on have feelings ya know. .

 

[STLtrailbSS]

Its a dumb argument
Hardtrailz wants to be a monster truck
Cone wants to be an SS
And I just want to be a vette but couldn't afford it
See DUMB

If im not paying the monthly payment Idc what the hell you do to it

and
Harmless wants to be a reindeer

haha....man if it would upset so many I could slap a nasty ass fake turbo decal on there like ricers do.
I figured since last turbo attempt had 5 successful dynos at 425, 421, and 3 solid at 423 it would be ok to put that SS on there.
my bad

Its your truck do what ever you want to do with it, but dont get your panties in a bunch when people call you out about it. Opinions are like assholes, every one has one.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Screw monster trucks...would not function for my needs. Plus I dont run monster truck badges

I have more SS parts than you, but dont run the badges maybe I should

 

[ConeKilrAutoX]

haha ? I knew I would get flack for it before I even posted it Im not upset at all I am happy with it on there and will be happier once I get the standalone computer to have boost going again on there as well.

I have more SS parts than you, but dont run the badges maybe I should

well go for it then I guess idk haha I was just saying the SS was for an engine that is far greater than the stock performance

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

SS is far more than motor... The whole drivetrain, the suspension, the interior, the exterior, the whole package....If ya want an SS, buy one. If you want something different and custom, dont call it an SS.

I guess I have too much respect for the SS's.

 

[MAY03LT]

Finished my sub box!

Looks good man! Seal of approval

haha....man if it would upset so many I could slap a nasty ass fake turbo decal on there like ricers do.

Shoot for the stars man, go with a ss-svt-r/t-454-type-r-vtec-gt-r-also-turbo sticker.:wootwoot:

guess they are coming off now so my email notifications stop blowing up haha yikes...

true good point. the SS are beast I agree.

that is pretty funny

 

[Boricua SS]

You guys shoulda told me!! I'll take that pic down so it doesn't screw up someone else's. Man, I'm really sorry about the mixup, not sure why mine's different than (seemingly) everyone elses'.

i dont think its more of "screwing" someone else truck up.. we all take the risks of doing aftermarket things to our vehicles... i just think that for some God awful weird reason, the Voy's are different then the TB's.. again, i dont understand when its the same exact units... your threads and knowledge are greatly appreciated my friend.. you didnt have to take the time out of your day to make that thread and to list the polarities.. whats even more wierd, all your other pix with polarities matched the Voy's lol.. the wiper motor, rear HVAC (in the XL Voy version), and the 4x4 switch, were exactly what you had listed.. so dont know why the front manual HVAC were any different...

I can't think of any logical explanation for the differences. Just plain weird. Also can't figure out why you guys' sockets would go dead from having the LED/resistors in backwards. Since voltage wouldn't flow through them, they should act like an open circuit, not a shorted out one.

well they didnt necessarily go dead from reversing the polarities.. what i think is going on, is that the boards have capacitors which take some time to fully disipate there stored power.. and instead of desoldering the board to take the old bulbs out, when you "break" the bulbs, it leaves the 2 leads on the top of the board giving you a bigger lead to solder the new stuff too.. so i think, that in crushing the old bulbs, the contacts touched, and with the power of the capacitor still there.. it fried that particular circuit.. at least thats what i would like to think so i can have some clerity with the issue lol... but never the less.. we figured things out, and couldnt be happier with the outcome... now we just have to test that theory on the next persons HVAC, instead of cruching the bulbs, desolder them from the back and put in the new stuff and see if that works...

haha ? I knew I would get flack for it before I even posted it Im not upset at all I am happy with it on there and will be happier once I get the standalone computer to have boost going again on there as well.


well go for it then I guess idk haha I was just saying the SS was for an engine that is far greater than the stock performance

this whole argument can go along with the us SS guys that put the Vette Flags emblem on our TBSS'.. im one of them... yes i know i dont have a vette, but i love the emblem, and i love how it looks on my truck... so who cares what someone else thinks

oh that is true.
When i touched a 9v to one led they all light up but when under car power none did.

IMO it's the same thing, but if you turbo it, a turbo emblem is fine (AFTER THE TURBO IS DONE!!!), but it's still not going to be a SS.

thats why i have been doing the SS DIC cluster. SS doesnt have to mean supercharged

not just motor or looks etc etc but the SS is for chevy not for GMC lol that is one reason why I asked. Its like putting str-8 on a bmw or a m6 badge on a toyota or something haha just sayin! I mean its your truck and if you like it then thats all that matters

 

[ConeKilrAutoX]

I agree with srt8 on bmw. Not even same family. But gmc not being a chevy is like saying dodge isnt a crysler or visa versa its pretty much the same family but a different model you know? But yea i understand SS is a lot more stepped up than a stock tb and the envoy , bravada, saab, are all same family

Yes same family but SS is chevy, denali is GMC lol Each one is put to its maker you know. I mean putting halos on a benz or leds of an audi on a bmw still wont be right...even tho they are the same family. I mean I was just wondering on the badge lol its just not everyday to see that is all

 

[Voymom]

Drove it around to drop off kids and pick them up. Will do the same tomorrow, it's going to be raining all week

Oh definitely understand man. Im not mad or anything i was just backing my reasoning for having it on there thats all haha i just want to stop blowing up the thread about this lol

Nice night shots. Looking good!

Today, I claybarred another 1/4 of one of my doors, then waxed 1/2 of the door. Polishing compound got the impossible to remove, off. Finishing up the bottom half tomorrow...

 

[Sparky]

Drove it, put "cheap" gas in it (got it for $3.67 before it jumped to $3.99, What a ripoff! ). It's telling me its throttle body needs cleaned again. It has been about 30k miles since last time I cleaned it, so it's due. I'll have to do that in the next couple of days.

Last night I was looking at efan controllers and I think I'm going with the Derale 16789. Would be nice if I could find a way to have the PCM control it but that's not looking very likely. Isn't the stock fan controlled via a PWM signal? I saw a chart a while ago on the OS that had stock fan speed vs temp, does anyone have a copy of that?

 

[gmcman]

Would be nice if I could find a way to have the PCM control it but that's not looking very likely. Isn't the stock fan controlled via a PWM signal?

Is there a way we can keep the wiring intact for the stock fan and just tap the hot lead into a relay and use that to control the efans? Take just the connector from the clutch fan, tie it off somewhere so the ECM would still think it's activating the fan?

Just an idea I have been toying with.

 

[Sparky]

No it has a feedback wire too. Commanded speed vs reported speed.

 

[05tbowner]

Well, yesterday, I took the door molding off, as well as the roof rack. I tinted the tail lights, and painted my heat shield on my K and N CAI to match my TB.
