    attn Blacksheep Josh

    all you need to do with your setup is bridge it and keep your sub output turned down. Listen for the smell of coil when ur playing it loud. Its better to run too much power than not enough because now if you only want 400 watts rms out of that amp you know itll be clean power bc its only...

    Check Engine light after replacing airride shocks

    Replaced my tired original airride shocks (249 000 km on them!) with some edelbrock drop shocks. Originally I unplugged the mini airtanks and removed the assembly from the truck. I noticed the check engine light come on shortly after...so i tried putting the assembly back in and pluging in...

    question about dropped awd/4wd trucks

    ive read that its not adviseable to drop an awd/4wd more than 2 inches on the front because of the angle that the cv shafts are on puts a lot of extra wear on them. Just wondering if any awd or 4wd guys have dropped more than 2 inches and what their experiences were with how quickly it goes...

    Front doors done

    deadening done....mids are in. theres 58 sq feet of deadening in the front doors. As you can see all gaps and opening are sealed to get the most out of my mid and act as a bit of an enclosure for it. But of course as soon as I get my drivers door panel back on the keyless entry is having...

    A pillars finally done

    Finished glassing my pillars a couple weeks back to house the TN52 focal tweeters for my k2p set. Was a major pain to wrap them with the contours and ultra suede that i used but in the end it worked out not too badly for an SPL guy trying to make something look good. The passenger side has...

    blend door motor strength

    im experiencing a problem with my blend door in my 97 limited. It seems to make a clicking sound when i turn on the ignition (even with the climate controls off) and continues if they're on or the temperature is fluctuated. I think the problem might be different from the rest of your guys...

    strange dimmer/od switch problem

    i installed an aftermarket head unit and amp bypass in my x yesterday. Ran into some troubles with the power locks not working, but that ended up just being a blown fuse under the hood. Now im having some dimmer issues. With my headlights off (and automatic lighting off) everything works...

    Yet another ticking question (lifters)

    Im just getting ready to fix the ticking that has plagued my 4L since ive got it. Planning on getting the rocker arms, shaft, and pushrods from delta cam which they claim solves the problem most of the time. Ive read that the 4L lifters are actually not too bad but the weak point is the...

    Truck stutters at low RPM only when very cold

    my truck started stuttering today within the first 1 km or so of me driving it. Only below 1500ish rpm and it seems once some heat gets in the engine it goes away and runs as good as new. It happened on two seperate occasions today after the truck was parked and had time to cool down. The...

    lately my X has been going through some coolant. My temperature gets a bit higher than usual but is definitely not overheating. points slightly above 90 degrees at most. But when i shut off the truck the coolant in the overflow tank is boiling and from the sounds of it so is the water in...

    Superlift 5.5 and SOA....plus spacer and shackle

    just wondering if f-150 spacers will work on the coils from a superlift 5.5 kit to make it about 7 inch total lift in the front. also i have some sort of extended shackle in the rear currently. With a SOA, this shackle will lift it another 1.5-2 inches correct? For a total of 7-7.5 inches...

    91 XL before and after billet grille and custom corners + tails

    before after the tails, third brake light and corners were painted with VHT niteshades paint....so that the light from behind still shines through. Still street legal aswell. I figured the whole truck is either black or white so why not spend a couple bucks doing the lenses...
