Plowing With A Lifted Truck?
jro909 replied to kurt1993's topic in Garage & Home, Snow Plowing, Landscaping, & Lawn Care
its possible, healthy for the truck? probably not..the truck is already being strained enough with the angles and such being warped out of the specs they were designed for. By adding a plow your putting even more strain on the parts...just my 2 cents, free of charge -
4l60e Transmission Longevity Good News I Hope
jro909 replied to ken1mod's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
the biggest connection i can make to the 4l60 and how long is life is would be maintance...the secondary connection being how it was treated, i asked out of curiosity at the dealer how many of these trans they replace or have replaced and it sounded like it was a rare occurance....but seal failure i guess is common -
just curious whats considered a good hour to mile ratio?

2000 somethen for hours 111k for miles, i idle a bit before i drive anywhere

Best Overall Oil For 5.3l
jro909 replied to HivoltageTahoe's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
ditch the fram, get an ac delco or other decent brand...fram filters are about 3 bucks for a reason...specially if your driving alot, i average about 40-50 miles a day and i swear by ac delco(stock filter) and the oil always comes out nice and none chunky -
Best Overall Oil For 5.3l
jro909 replied to HivoltageTahoe's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
the filter is a huge factory in how long you go between changes, remeber that...for example amsoil can go 10k i think between changes but if your running a filter not built for severe change intervals your going to be running into problems...i don't ever go by oil life, i've never seen it come on in my truck i just go 3k for peace of mind, my entire family uses mobil one for 5-8k intervals with zero problems though -
Best Overall Oil For 5.3l
jro909 replied to HivoltageTahoe's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
i run canola oil with 2 scoops of grape kool aid with an ac delco filter.................................it all seriousness go to the store and buy a good brand of oil like castrol,valvoline,mobil one and get a good filter like ac delco, K&N, wix and be happy....asking what oils best is like asking what beer is best, to each their own... -

Transmission Problems On 4l60e Equipped GMC Truck
jro909 replied to Mike Diaz's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
changes shift points, unless your geared for it the trans will be shifting alot to try to compensate to apply more force to turn the tires... -
Transmission Problems On 4l60e Equipped GMC Truck
jro909 replied to Mike Diaz's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500
