    M813 Batteries / Charging

    I have been charging batteries for 30 years. A dead battery requires a trickle charge. If you try and cram tons of amps into a dead battery you will just fry the plates even more. My battery supplier can confirm this. I think they know more than anyone since they are the manufacturer...

    M813 Batteries / Charging

    Got the new alternator installed, batteries had volts but low amps. Had them on the trickle charger all night, but still had low amps, so I figured the low voltage shorted the batteries out. So I bought and installed group D4 batteries!

    What stall convertor are you running? Any trans I do gets a 1200 stall, with an anti balloon plate welded on. The TC's I use are rated for 600 HP.

    They are running the stock 4.56's some have the stock 32 inch tire, others are running 33's, 35's, even did one that had 37's. My truck is running 305/70/16 33/11.5/16 I have only done one blazer cucv and he had the stock 3.08, with 33's. Was really lugging the engine in overdrive, but he...

    An early 3-4 shift could be several things, one could be TV cable needs to come out 1 or 2 more clicks. Not only does the TV cable control line pressure, but it does play a small part in shift timing, vs throttle, vs governor. TV cable adjustments are a trial and error, move it one or two...

    Either remove some of the shims, or purchase the trans-go "bang shift" eliminator kit. It comes with several different springs to choose from that go into the valve body to stop that 1-2 bang shift.

    Yes you are correct in keeping the TC locked, a TC that is not locked is slipping (generating heat), of course it will need to be unlocked when stopped but once you hit 2nd gear locking it up will reduce heat. Keeping it locked when doing any 2/3, 3/4 or 4/3, 3/2 shift will not damage anything...

    Yes I have had several torque convertors cut open, the clutch in there is pretty heavy duty. Well I should say it is heavy duty from the company I have make my torque convertors. As for slippage, the idea is to get the clutches to engage as quickly as possible to reduce the slip or even...

    New owner!

    I finally got a chance to take it out for a drive to see if my fuel leak was gone. Yup the emergency valve replacement fixed the fuel leak!

    The TC lock-up "timing" as you call it, is not true. TC lock up will not burn out the lock up clutch or the 3rd or 4th gear clutch packs. TC clutch burns out because of to much heat. 3rd and 4th gear burn out because of heat, towing in 4th gear, to much power for a stock trans. The 700r4 is...

    There are several options for the TC lock-up. I prefer the bowtie overdrive version. it locks up in 4th automatically, and it comes with a switch so you can lock it up in 2nd, or 3rd. Really helps when towing. There is a relay installed on the brake switch so when the brakes are applied it...

    Duramax Diesel Engine Conversion Kit

    Would be cheaper and easier in the long run to just drop a 12 valve cummins and a 47rh trans in it. Probably only have 2 grand into it. Plus you only need 5 wires and your up and running. Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk

    Yup done a lot of these for customers with the cucv. Haven't had one complaint yet!

    Anyone seen one of these transmissions?

    Interesting, never new they offered that manual trans! So from what I have gathered, it was used in the blazer and the 1/2 ton pickups only. It was considered a light duty trans, not meant for towing or big block engines. Also the 4x4 is very rare, and parts are hard to come by for both the...

    Duramax Diesel Engine Conversion Kit

    For the price of there motor mount kit, you could ad a turbo to the old 6.2 and turn up the pump, that should add almost 100 HP. then for another 600 bucks add a water meth kit and that should add another 60-100 HP. that should put the HP and torque right around a stock duramax. for only...
