I wrapped up the Whipple intercooler installation this afternoon. It's a pretty easy install that only takes a few hours complete. The water pump is mounted in front of the passenger's side front tire and the tank is attached to the firewall on the same side. I'll be sending Whipple's computer into them on Wednesday so it can be updated and will then change the pulley after that goes back in.

 

Almost time to head to the track!

It does nasty things to the stock Firestone tires. Very nasty things :D

 

I'm going to work on dialing it in with a highflow induction after the Whipple computer comes back.

I might work on modifying the Volant airbox first. If that doesn't work I'll go the K+N route.

 

btw- The picture of your cat is waaaaaay to funny! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile! :D

I'm assuming you mean the cat on the front page of his site!!!  That is hilarious!!!

 

GandolphXX, not to "stray" too far off the topic here, but I've never heard of a "ragdoll".  Are they very big?  They look like a Himalayan a little bit.  I have a Maine Coone Cat myself.  I like big cats, and was thinking of getting another Maine Coone, but maybe I should look at "Ragdolls".  Hmm....

You can check here for more info - good links: http://www.ragdoll.com/

 

I wouldn't mix the Ragdoll with Your Maine Coon - which is by the way a lovely cat breed - almost the way we went. The Ragdolls are lovers, not fighters - social with each other, not street wise, very laid back.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
