8.1 custom computer programing


Recommended Posts

Posted

I deal with a company called Fast Chips that does custom computer programming. They are located in Oklahoma and are looking for an 8.1 test vehicle. If someone wants to take a ride over there Ed Wright at Fast Chips will dyno tune your truck at no charge (offer only available to one person). They do all of my custom tuning and have seen about 30hp on the 454 trucks. GM tends to be conservation with some of their programming so there could be some nice horsepower hiding in there. Fast Chips can be reached at 1-918-446-3019.

Tom,

 

What kind of money are you looking get for your "Burb"?  Also what knd of miles are on it?  I'm not in the market right now, but I know some people that are.  Your Burb may be more than what they are looking for, but I'd be happy to pass on the info...

 

That has to be the coolest looking Suburban I've seen...  (the exterior and underhood mods help alot)

I'm looking for $47,000. for the truck as it sits right now -

 

11,000 miles

Airaid induction,

Magnecharger supercharger

JBA headers

B&B TriFlo exhaust

20" Boyd's Hot Rod 8 wheels

Custom two tone paint

DVD/ TV tuner with Sony Playstation

Screens behind front headrests

Brushguard

PIAA airdam and 40 series driving lights (very bright!)

 

I have about $13k in mods done to the truck and the wheels/tires only have 2k miles on them. I'd like to sell it whole but can bring it back to a "regular Suburban" if needed.

 

Thanks,

Tom

    • Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles. 
    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
