    Went back to the dyno after cam swap and it LOST POWER

    I think OnAllCylinder says if you use LS3 cam, it will have huge loss on low end? 9-7x need truck cam. And a cam for supercharger may not work well in NA.

    Good to hear that! I didn't have flush machine so just extract & fill until fluid coming out red and transparent. Then add lube guard red for more protection, but that's optional and just to make myself feel better.

    Ahhhh I wish I knew it earlier. When I first got the car I need new brakes all around. Then two months ago, my wheel bears are shot so I replaced them. Should carry on and replace both lower ball joints at that time. Now I have to disassemble everything again for ball joint replacement.

    Rust proof. This is WIP! Spray under the truck is harder than I think! Can hardly control the spray can. Lot's of run down and far from ideal. But it's better than not doing it and now is protected. I use rust oleum rust reformer + rust oleum stop rust paint. I also ordered two internal chassis...

    For the lower one, do you have to remove the brake to get enough space for ball joint and press?

    Great, I have bump stop on one side missing... May I ask how to install them? Screw off the old and screw on the new?

    1 quart gone after quick 900 mile trip

    This is inside my valve cover after ~7k mis on Valvoline R&P. Mind you, this is a 180k mi motor previously on syn blend and "regular" oci only. It works.

    Sounds about right with me. Probably PCV issue if you have kept up with oil change and used good oil.

    New cam, DOD delete, and new front diff, now won't shift out of 1st

    Hi AdsoYo! Did you do all these works at home? Do I need an engine host to pull it out & swap cam, DOD delete, etc.?

    Did an oil change... I think my LH6 is not doing so well. Good news is had an oil change as rinse cycle after driving some miles and oil is more promising, no shining film and much less practicals. I hope it is an one time event or Valvoline R&P dislodged a large chunk of wear materials produced...

    Catch up post... So I bought an oil extractor for transmission fluid drain and refill. Pan drop is just too much hassle and risk my fragile exhaust. The oil extractor works great but can only get 3qts a time instead of 6 qts. but it is indeed much easier and way less messy.

    Yamaha puts in patent for... a fake engine!

    I once imagined about this kind idea, but instead of using a motor to turn a crank and fake everything, I use an imaginary block with cylinders that server as acceleration coil for pistons and put power down to crank like a real ice. It is a good laugh.

    Ughh, tried to replace front low control arms for cluncking noise when go over pothole, nope, the front control armmbolt, which is 21mm, fused solid into the frame. Even a 1150 ft lbs impact wrench cant remove it. Too bad! But otherwise, changed transfer case fluid and front diff oil. Now no...

    I'm surprise budget tires now perform well.
