    Why get a leveling kit?

    correct me if im wrong but the higher you crank the stock torsion keys the higher angle the CV shafts sit. It wears out faster if its at an angle versus straight on and a leveling kit allows it to be level with straight angles.

    putting in some trans stuff need opinions

    After looking around for a while I found a local shop that can install a vette servo for 100 including the part itself, he also said he would bump up the line pressure in the pump. What else would be a good idea to put in? And also if the programmer i'm using is faking the pump into bumping...

    Bowtie paint

    I took mine off, but I used 60 grit to cut through all of the crap, then goo gone, then soap and water. I think I used something like 7 coats of Krylon Fusion plastic paint. and 6 coats of clear coat. I haven't sanded it yet but anything over a 1000 grit im told will do the job for a final...

    help with a few performance mods?

    I really like K&N intakes but if you like dry filter go AEM or Volant they have good setups for our trucks. Get a tune too. Diablosport Predator for a hand held or Black Bear if you want a truly custom tune.

    Removed Torque Management

    I deleted torque management through the predator tuner, I don't know exactly how much it removes but the shifts feel a lot better. But with 119,000 on the transmission what upgrades should I put in to keep it alive with reduced torque management, if any?

    Brake Pad Wear

    Second pick is a top down look at the pad to show how worn it was. New pads and rotors but I also am not paying the full 700, one of the reasons this had to be done is back in October, the city took our street down to the dirt, then they put in limestone, and it promptly rained. Then the...

    Brake Pad Wear

    So I was getting a squeak out of my left front wheel when I was driving around, so I took it to my mechanic and he found this...All 4 looked like this and the rotors were toasted too, $700 worth of brake parts had to be changed out.

    Front Wheel Squealing

    Ok so I got stuck in my driveway and had to go into 4x4 while stopped. So I get unstuck then run over the snow bank a couple times to get it out of the way, then pop out of 4x4 and as I'm going around the neighborhood my front left wheel starts to squeal, and its not the brakes. Could this be...
