    what is the best hi beam bulb for max lighting?

    I put silverstar ultra's in the hi and low on my wifes 08 grand prix... doesnt seem like much of a difference. Maybe i will just get some of those cheap blue bulbs so they at least match my HID kit a little better. I just don't know if the over wattage ones on ebay would wreck anything or if I...

    what is the best hi beam bulb for max lighting?

    I currently have a VVME 6000k 35 watt HID kit in my low beams...I love it and haven't had problems with it yet. Looking to update my hi beams as the stock yellowish bulb looks like crap when it is on with the HIDs ( i did the 4 hi mod already). So what is the most wattage I could put to the...

    Weird Rattle in the rear end??

    I tried new rear sway bar bushings... but of course the ones I bought were too big...but when i shimmed it to fit because autozone didn't have the right size, the noise went away for a while. Now that the shims fell out it came back, i just have to get time to measure my sway bar for the...

    Torque Convertor Lock up

    So while watching tv the other day, I saw a re run of horsepower tv or one of those shows. They were working on a camaro and trying to give it better mileage. They had a kit that allowed them to lock up the torque convertor. My question is what happens when your torque convertor locks up...

    Oil filters

    I change oil for a living and from what our filter and oil guru has said... There are only like 3 or 4 companies that make oil filters and they label them for who ever they want. We are a Valvoline affiliated shop, but we switched over to the Service Champ brand filter as it has a lower cost...

    flowmaster 50 or 70 series anyone?

    Thanks for the input. I like the sound flowmaster makes outside of the vehicle and just dont want all the resonance in the cab like they usually get. I have been thinking a 70 might be too quiet inside and out. It is good to here that people like the 50 series, i have read that a lot of...

    flowmaster 50 or 70 series anyone?

    04 tahoe 5.3l with CAI and blackbear tune. I put a 3 inch to 5 inch tip on it today. (there is a sound difference at idle and low rev it exagerates the idle more) But I am wanting to put a different muffler than stock on. Flowmasters kits are all 50 series...i was thinking a 50 suv but not...

    Weird Rattle in the rear end??

    I tried tightening the lug nuts, none were loose. I jacked it up in the air and wiggled stuff around. Only thing I got was a tiny bit of movement from the shocks but I don't think that it is enough to cause the loud rattle that I get. I pushed and pulled right to left on a tire and then I can...

    Weird Rattle in the rear end??

    I was under it the other day, and had someone jump on the hitch and couldn't find anything loose. Seems like the sway bar is all tight and that the shocks are tight. The panhard is the bar that goes right to left correct? I will check tomorrow on that one. I will also check my brakes, as I...

    I have a weird rattle in the rear end and can't find it!!...it is starting to make me really mad.:mad: I checked the spare tire and it was tight. I took all my junk out from the inside thinking that the stuff was making the noise and that wasnt it. It seems most noticeable going at slower...

    Met up w/Justin for my Blackbear tune today!!

    I had my 04 tahoe tuned Sunday by Justin (in minnesota). Great guy to work with, and MAN what a difference. Everyone was right when they said it makes a huge difference. He left my tow/haul mode alone as I haul a boat and snowmobile trailer. But the difference in normal mode is amazing...

    Suggestions on a HID kit??

    I went ahead and ordered a VVME kit from ebay...hoping it doesnt take to long to ship here. I got my low beams with 6000k. I am going to wait on the fogs to see how I like the low beams (figure i use low beams more than fogs). By the way, where do u mount the balast for the fog lights?? On...

    Suggestions on a HID kit??

    I have read some stuff saying that the difference in 35w vs 55w is not that significant?? Mainly that 55w is a bit brighter but will produce more heat (possibly causing melt down of the housing). Any one know about this?? Is digital better than ??? (what else is there besides digital? analog?)

    Suggestions on a HID kit??

    I have a 04 Tahoe and have been looking at HID's. They all look pretty sweet, and everyone says they can't imagine going back to standard bulbs. Should I install a kit in my stock headlamps? If so, do hi and low or just low? Is it going to be insanely blinding to oncoming traffic or not so...

    where do I start?

    I am doing a few mods first and then the tune. But I am saving my intake and exhaust till after the tune. Remember it is FREE retunes, so if you add it on later you can get it tuned again. yes, you would have to wait in order to get the cable, but they say you get the biggest gain from the tune.

    MSD ignition?? Anyone use it?

    Does anyone use MSD ignition on there vehicle? I know it is only the replacement coil packs that go on, but do they make any kind of difference? They say it is suppose to do the multi-spark and such, but are they any better than stock coils? Is there a big difference in performance with them...

    dumb HID question

    I have a 2004 Tahoe, and was wondering if you can run the HID kits with the stock lights? I have seen a lot of HID's, but most people have projector headlights and such. SO will they work with stock headlights, and would they be "legal"?? Also can HID's go into the stock foglights?

    I have a 2004 tahoe LT with 106k miles on it. I have the same clunking going on. A guy I work with is going to school to be an auto mechanic, and he sugested that my front ball joints may be going out, and to check my tie rod ends. With this type of mileage I guess I expect that, he said I...
