    My Callaway Suburban on the dyno

    Well, about 8 months ago I sold my Lightning, and looked for a replacement "toy" for a while. In December I stumbled upon a 1993 Callaway built Suburban with a big block 502. I didn't believe it was real until I got confirmation from Callaway that they had built it. And here it is on the...

    Problem with the boost gauge?

    The factory boost gauge in my 99 won't register over 3lbs at WOT. There is definitely no power loss, so it has to be a problem with the gauge right? Any ideas?

    American Racing Cartels on our trucks?

    Does anyone have them? I can't find a 5 spoke design anywhere, but I saw the cartels and I'm thinking they would look good. They have the polished lip, and they are painted black. Give me some opinions. I want to do a 2\4 drop, and these in 22x9.5.

    Lowering through Schwabs

    A friend of mine works at a local schwabs.. I'm probably going to buy my wheels and tires through them, but I was curious about a lowering kit from them. Quoted me $1300 for a 2" front 3" rear drop. The kit was like $755 (It's discontinued or something), and the labor was $250, then a couple...

    Knocking at 3500rpm..?

    Just noticed this on my way home tonight.. Truck is knocking starting at about 3k (barely noticeable) and gets a little worse and more noticeable at 4k. Anyone know what this could be? If it helps, I just filled up on 92oct.

    My Lightning vs a DB9

    So, the other night, a kid that thinks his 240sx is the greatest car in the world challenged me to a race. I had just got off work and I was heading home, which is 3 exits down the freeway from where I was. Anyways, long story short(er) I destroyed him on the freeway, but I noticed in my...

    Common problems? Doing some research.

    I can't ever seem to find what I need on these forums =/ What are common issues to look out for with these cars? I'm seriously considering selling my Grand Cherokee for an SVTF. I found one close to me at a dinky dealership for $8k, which seems low to me (but I didn't ask for mileage, etc)...

    Alltel commercials...

    Am I the only one who is fed up with these dumbass commercials? They lower themselves to a level I've never seen, portraying billion dollar cell phone companies as nerdy kids playing dungeons and dragons. The commercials they air aren't funny at all, and are completely unoriginal. If I was...

    Anyone affected by the flooding?

    I know some of us are pretty close to where the hardest hit areas are. I'm from Chehalis, which was hit pretty bad (luckily I live on a hill), but I know there some people from the forums are in Aberdeen and in Pe Ell (which is underwater). Hope everyone is safe. I was out all day today...

    Polishing \ Waxing with a buffer question

    I've got a question about using an orbital buffer with polish \ wax. I'm using a pretty simple buffer (I don't think it gets anywhere near 1000rpm) to polish and wax my lightning, but I'm never sure exactly what steps I'm supposed to take as far as applying the polish \ wax. Do I put the...

    Help question: What's going on with my intake?

    By no means am I an expert when it comes to my truck, at all. Before I take it to my mechanic, I want to know if you guys can tell me what's going on here. I haven't noticed any difference while driving, but the other day while I was under the hood I noticed this on the bottom of my K&N. I...

    Carriage works upper grill question

    Does anyone know if it's supposed to be for the 99-02 F-150 and Expedition also? The lower grill fit fine, but the upper one didn't. When I riveted it into the grill shell, it tweaked the shell enough to misalign it with the hood. If anyone has had the same experience or similar please...

    Search doesn't seem to be working, at all.. =/ Anyways, I've always noticed that my L has those tiny little scratches that I can only assume are left over from a car wash. I hand wash it, always, so I'm also assuming the previous owner took it to a car wash frequently. I tried waxing and a...
