    For Sale: California Car cover Ultraweave

    Re: For Sale: California Car cover Ultraweave I sold the car and don't need it anymore. It's not too bad to put on...It definitely doesn't just slide on gracefully. It's actually a nice snug custom fit. California Car Cover supposedly custom makes these for the specific models---took me 3...

    After washing engine, poor performance.

    Hello everyone, Newb here, but I've searched and found some things about moisture in critical parts of the engine bay which helped a little but not fully. Anyways, I washed the engine in May and after doing so, it started running with poorer performance, parked it and it's since been in...

    Built 700r4

    Re: Built 700r4 If I had the money, I would go for the 4l80e, but the extra 3k or so I would be spending would buy alot of other stuff considering I pretty much drive like a grandpa with the occational kid coming out in him.

    Built 700r4

    Hello everyone, I'm looking to get my tranny either built, or replaced with a built one, and was wondering how a built tranny affects the trucks driveability? I'm looking at RPM's right now, but am keeping my options open. My Ty is pretty much a daily driver, never see's a track, and I never...

    I Can't Take It Anymore!!!

    Re: I Can't Take It Anymore!!! I haven't had a problem with my Ty yet, but what i did with my Blazer was get a long strip of aprox 1/4" thick foam tape(sticky only on one side) and applied it to the bottom of the window...worked, but I sold the truck, so I'm not too sure how long it would have...

    Repairing wheels=Loss of strength?

    Hello All, 2 of my stock wheels are slightly bent on the lip of the wheel, and I want to get them straightened, but does that make the wheel any less stronger? Loss of integrity type stuff? Would it be better just to find used wheels, or to get mine fixed?

    Are wheel spacers safe?

    Re: Are wheel spacers safe? Why doesn't SyTy allow pictures? I have a picture that I want to upload, but there's no option... I would show a picture of my Ty with 1998 Camaro Wheels with 1.25" spacers in the back. Why SyTy? How come everyone has the ability?

    Are wheel spacers safe?

    Re: Are wheel spacers safe? They are actually only wheelcentric (I believe)...is that going to cause a problem? When I got them I figured they are only wheelcentric because the ad didn't say anything about hubcentric. Googled "hub centric", and it seems that mine are only lugcentric... When I...

    Are wheel spacers safe?

    I'm a little concerned about running my wheel spacers I got on the rear just because adding hardware has the possibility of failure...is there any danger to running wheels spacers? If I was doing jumps or had a crazy hydraulic set-up, I would be even more concerned. Any Thoughts? I should put...

    Replace or rebuild tranny?

    Hello, I found a piece of metal on the magnet and the Ty is shifting pretty hard from 1st to 2nd. Is it better to buy a replacement, or have the original rebuilt? If rebuilding the original is better, what parts will have to be bought to bring the tranny back to "like new"...any suggestions...
