    Custom 1" Skulte Adapter Problems

    Here's an e-mail I shot to those guys detailing my problems in case you guys are thinking about going with a combo with the custom 1" adapters: Hey...I've been having problems with the 1" adapters I recieved for my Typhoon. When I got them out of the box I noticed that the studs seemed to be...

    New shoes for the Ty...

    My stock rims are smoked. My truck was a salvage at one time and the wheels are off of wrecked trucks. A Hunter GSP 9700 balancer couldn't come to a decent balance solution for three of the four rims so I get a nice vibe that starts up at 61mph and gets pretty bad by 75. I think the stock rims...

    Stock Torque Converter Part #

    I'm looking for a new converter. It's really hot here and I don't plan to upgrade my turbo so I'm sticking with the stocker. GM Parts Direct shows part # 8691915...is that correct? It shows its a re-manufactured unit. Anyone have a brand new one laying around?

    Bolt pattern...5x4.75" (120.65mm) Vs. 5x120mm

    I've read on the board that rims made for certain BMW models will fit but after some research I see they're 5x120mm. Our bolt pattern is 5x4.75" (120.65mm). So is that 0.026" difference unsafe or likely to cause vibrations? Has anyone ran 5x120's sucessfully? The reason I ask is I need new...

    Which converter for a 20G-14cm2?

    Just wondering which converter will go well with a bolt on 20G with a 14cm2 turbine housing. The truck is driven in stop and go in 108+F temps during the summer so I'd like to get a lock up converter that's as tight as possible to keep tranny temps down. I wouldn't mind loosing a few tenths with...

    How much base fuel pressure with stock injectors & chip?

    I know every truck is different but I just want to get a feel here. How much base fuel pressure (AFPR vaccum line off & plugged) do you run with the stock injectors & chip? I have mine tuned to 52 psi. Roughly 120 BLM closed throttle and 136 BLM at cruise.

    Is this a normal amount of knock free boost on 91?

    Just wondering if this is normal...I was seeing 16psi spikes and some pretty good knock with the stock boost control system. I just got done installing a manual boost controller to turn down the boost and I ended up at 13.0-13.5 psi solid on 91 octane with roughly 2 degree retard spikes on...

    I'm sure you guys have seen it but here's the plans: http://www.tyguy.net/gmc_ic_scoop.htm Finished product: I can't take credit for fabricating it. I had a guy at work that does aircraft sheet metal work for a living fabricate it for me using the plans on the site...cost me two cases of...

    Hayden brand severe duty fan clutch...

    http://www.haydenauto.com/severe.html Anyone try one of these suckers? The offer both a heavy and severe duty and the severe duty is listed in their application guide as an "OEM equivalent." I just installed one and my coolant temps dropped 18-26F & my AC works a hair better at idle but now my...

    Fuel Pressure...how much is too much?

    Hey guys...been working fueling today on the new Ty. First off it has a modified GM BBZB 1580 chip with stock fuel & timing but revised limiters. It also has a K&N barrel filter in place of the stock airbox and a Borla catback. Last weekend I changed the old O2 sensor for one of those new Denso...

    Loose white wire w/black connector by ECM...

    I was putting a chip in the Ty today (a slightly modded BBZB 1580) and I noticed a white wire by the ECM hanging there all by it's lonesome. It had a black plastic single contact connector on it. Anyone have any idea what it might be for?

    Decent pic of the TCC connector on the side of the tranny?

    Anyone? TCC isn't locking up in the new Ty. It shifts just great though. I just tried jumpering the ALDL and still no lock up. I'm thinking maybe it's not connected or there's a broken wire somewhere.

    Stiffest Shocks?

    Former Ty owner from a couple years ago checking in...may be getting a new one. I'm looking for the stiffest shock setup I can possibly get (besides removing the suspension all-together :P ). I don't want ANY float and a comfortable ride is not important at all. I'm looking at: -Koni 80-Series...
