I thought they were AWD.

 

AWD is an option. You can get a 2wd too. Cheaper, lighter, and with less parasitic power loss.

 

What he means is, give me your TBSS.

 

Buy my wheels for $28,000, and I'll give you the truck for free.

I was doing some searching around on You Tube again and

 

TBSS

 

They make some badass rides. Some of the Texas boys have some sweet setups from ADM too...Tune Time Performance is doing a 402 (or 427 or something) as well.

Awesome video. Almost makes me want to trade the Yukon for my folks RWD '07 TBSS!

Speaking of which I finally saw a Jeep srt-8 today. He kept wanting to race me in the pickup today. I wouldn't bite, I wouldn't even be a challenge with my new wait4me and a 4-hi he would still walk me.

He wouldn't walk you.

 

He'd walk ME, and pretty hard at that.

 

He'd leave you like you were in reverse. :wtf: Those things are beasts.

A guy at work couldn't understand how that pig could be so fast (jeepsrt8). Had to explain the whole tranny and 425hp thing. One things for sure they don't look very practical and I bet they chew through trannies pretty fast!

I don't think they're having problems with transmissions.

 

At least not like the SS's are. They're dropping trannies left and right.

The 5.7 Jeep I can pretty much take now with my tune, I can just edge them 0-60 and hang on after that.

Man...those SRT-8s are bad looking too. I gotta say I really really like em.

 

I read an article the other day about the new 6.3L LS3 thats going into Corvette. 430 hp and like 440 lb-ft or something like that. They said the stock base model Corvette for 2008 will be capable of 190 mph.

 

Maybe the LS3 will make its way into the TBSS?

 

Hey Mike, what kinda gas mileage you getting with the SS? I'd be curious to see how the SS and the SRT stack up to each other as far as day to day living. I know I priced an SRT on Jeep's website and just the BASE price is about 40 big ones. I've seen SSs marked down under 30k. GM - 1, Jeep - 0.

I don't see the LS3 going into the TBSS. The Trailblazer is going away anyway, the consensus is that the SS will not even be around to the end of the '08 model year run.

 

If I drive like a normal person, I can average around 15-16. 65-70 on the highway on cruise will net me around 18.

 

Most of the time though...I get around 12.8. :loser:

Sure it would fit. There are already a couple of them out there.

 

And a TBSS can already beat an SRT-8 with e-fans, CAI, a tune, and a higher stall torque converter. There are a couple of guys in the mid-high 12's with those mods. Can do all that for under 2k.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. The read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.
