What gear ratio gears you looking at? If you plan on going with bigger tires in the future gear for those cause regearing is $$$

I do a good bit of driving too and on my 35's currently with 4.88's it sits at 2k rpm at 60 mph. Not that bad and it's really snappy. It would be equivalent to a stock truck with 4.10's

Overall they aren't anything special I'll just have to deal with it if I don't want a giant box in my back seat anymore.. I'll miss the deep sound but I'll enjoy the space.

I did the same thing as you except I had to go deep into specs to get the most out of my old shallow mounts. Your subs are probably going to rub and hit against those flap things that fold down with your seats. Mine did and I actually removed those two flaps and that grey trim piece to save even more room. Not sure if you did this also but I used the jacks screw down point and drilled a hole to accommodate it inside and then bolted it down to get it added to insurance incase it was ever stolen. My system consisted of two Kicker 10in compVT's, new model is Comp RT, with a kenwood KAC-9105D. Those things hit HARD and never quit. Was the best set up I had achieved, by myself, and I miss it. Never tried the pioneers so I cannot give you any pointers of the reliability or performance. Hope all goes well!

They suck I can't hear them and when I do they sound hollow and bad. I'm not at all impressed. And the reviews were good.

How are they wired?

This ^^^ and what are the final dimensions of the box internally? What is the amp pushing as well? In case you didn't know, there is a 7 day break in period for the subs, at least, that is what some manufacturers recommend, some even longer. Pushing them hard too soon could cause a sub to kick the bucket. Moderate level should work. You will notice change and if not, send them back and grab the newest Kicker shallow mounts.

I usually order from sonic electronix, best place to get stuff IMO, they honor their 30 day warranty then they will actually honor the manufacturers warranty by allowing you to send them the defective speakers then they ship you a new set so you don't have to wait. Just have to contact and request a return or swap out. Box isn't ported anywhere is it?

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
