Yeah, I may try the terra grapplers next but the trail grapplers get great mileage. A buddy of mine has gotten 80k out of three sets. Rotation every 3000 and a few alignments. Luckily the tire and rim shop in my area does the rotation for free for the life of the tires. And that voodoo magic works! Hard to go in there for a rotation without asking for a lift quote while you wait!!!!

 

So I'll see what I get out of them.

I hear the Terra's only get about 50k, but I don't know if that's with a mud tire rotation schedule or not.

 

But I agree with you, they do look tough as hell! Also hard to get the thing stuck anymore.

I ran the stockers down to the nub and I had to put it in 4 to get up my steep driveway if the pavement was wet, these things roll right up in the snow!

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I know multiple people including my step dad driving an HD who got over 80k on Terra grapplers. If you only get 50k that's operator error

Installed my speakers a few days ago 8a961ada7af8497dd6797fef4894bd5e.jpg

I used a the kicker speakers, not the cheap 60 buck ones, I used the next ones up that are like 130 each. Tried the cheaper ones and they sounded like garbage.

The box was a steal at like 120. I used the kicker 1200 watt for the dual 12 in subs and some other kicker amp for the fronts and rears. I left the dash speakers stock, I think that sound ok as is.

The wiring is a hot mess but you can't see any of it behind the seat anyway.

Removing the rear seat was somewhat of a pain and I made a scratch on the door jam. Should have had someone to help me.

But installing the amps behind the seat was obviously not the best place to put them. I have the gain way to high in the rear and now I can't fix it without removing the stupid seat again. So I adjusted the fade on the radio to the front speakers but a strange side effect is that the door ding noise from having the door open or not having your seatbelt on is loud as hell!

Sorry for the terrible pics, it's getting dark.

It will shake the bolts loose if you turn it up. But I rarely have it very loud.

Did you do the rears as well, or is it even possible? I sent you a PM.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
