I opted to share this here in the fun part of the forum. :)

 

factory L30 v8, nv3500.. vortec.

 

 

 

I made a pile of mush out of the factory shifter base, it is made of plastic. In need of all metal , the first thing I found was this hurst.

I was not thinking of short throw nor precision.

 

That is just what i got, and it is fun.

I was not racing in the video. Not sure what it would do if I tried.

I had some throttle left.

 

I do not know the quarter mile or 0 to 60.

it is on par today with the LS 6.0 with automatic.

 

I hope core-shifter makes enough to go around.

 

This needed poly cab mounts, cross sills beyond factory, leaf springs, drums, sway bar end links. Seems to be an anonymous hot rod, no one announces.

I have a 95 5.0 with that tranny and i shift the balls outta it. I get a little wheelspin into 2nd and chirp into 3rd if im really going crazy.

 

Also my 1st and 2nd gear seem really short. redline in first is about 20 to 25 mph. Second is about 40. Is this normal for these transmissions?

that is very short.

maybe 3.9 rear?

 

on my truck in the video...

2nd is speedo straight up and down for me, not much time to look. That is 60mph. About 7 seconds +/-.

3rd gear is the end of the quarter mile, needle buried.

 

3.73 rear gear, 31.6 inch tread.

 

I spoke of my road rage incident, which was actually fake, as no one was angry... :)

I did not know I was doing 121 before shifting into fifth. I was new to the truck, needed a gear calculator.

 

My trek to the city is from north central maine, the fast/tall is most welcome.

82 on the cruise control...I still get passed all the time.

 

 

the factory shift started giving way on a 90F day near the maine coast hauling a 20 foot boat trailer. A lot of hills. Made something in the plastic a little too warm.

The odds of finding the new hurst complete first thing is pretty lucky, now that I look back.

I know i have 3.42s no idea how tall the tire is (ive been going through wheel sets trying to find some i like)

I only ever went up to 100 in 4th and that took some time in that gear. It is only a 305.

never underestimate the 305..

most times the factory would runt it to make the block exploders look great (350)

I snapped out of that stupor with the genuine HO 305 in my 1984 monte carlo SS.

it is the only one model they kept in the gm museum... but I digress. they hinted the future for me back then in the mid 90s when I owned it, already over the 100k mile mark and ready to snap bellhousing bolts..

 

there is several nv3500 transmissions, and an update from "getrag" to "new venture" no one identifies easily.

I learned to be sure of the v8 part number installed, as anyone can swap things..the v6 version is something different. Then there is yearly changes. The supercharger noise is some extra pin sized large roller bearing if to have one, you'll hear it. Proving to be slippery and strong...now at 350k miles.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
