i really want an lb7 one day or a 7.3 power stroke but that’s when I start towing every weekend, this 8.1 is great so far, that’s good info to know I’ll keep an eye on my oil, I really don’t drive the truck much so far my oil has been level :)

tried that first but the wedge wouldn’t go in I found out my molding was out of place and that window was stuck a bit down and said oh well I’ll try the window since I had to change the regulator either way lol

@@Rxstro Gotcha👍

@@Rxstro by the way if you ever want to put a double DIN radio in that truck just order a dash bezel for a double DIN for the 99 to 02 trucks off of eBay for like 40 bucks. I did that in mine and put in a Sony radio with Android Auto and Apple carplay. My truck's the same, it's a tow pig and is usually driven on long trips so it's nice to have google maps on the radio and bluetooth.

haha new truck content next video

gonna try and restore em and throw some LED’s in next video !!

I keep meaning to check it definitely will check it today or tomorrow for the video, thanks for the feedback

thanks boss

right, it completely zeroed compression in cyl 3 though I wonder what it looks like inside 😂

@@Rxstro yeah man a video of seeing the damage and if it’d be savable would be sick asf

Thank you bro !

yupyupyup

thanks for the feedback bro really appreciate it !

I just emailed vortec let’s see if they respond 😂

@@Rxstro lmao, this guy. If you are for real, check out a company called Raylar. They use 8100 engines in marine applications but they do make supercharger kits for that motor.

i think I’ve heard of em and their cams, I’ll see what I can do lol

Ikr haha can’t wait to boost mine

thanks my boy, yessir lotta more sweat into it but she cleaned up nice 🧼

hell yea ! I’m excited I still haven’t towed heavy with it yet, waiting to refresh the suspension then it’ll be ready !

figured, thanks ! 👍🏽

me too, excited for the next one especially :)

I lowkey like how this front end looks better than the euro bumpers lol I love the cow catcher look, yea I didn’t remove it I didn’t feel the need too I knew about the bolts, the fan sounds bad because two of the mounts are chopped off so I think the fans scraping the condenser lol imma order a new condenser later maybe or try and separate them a bit so it sounds better, the switch works I checked it too I just jumped the high speed fan to the ac button wire on the sensor so now when I press the button it kicks on the aux fan too, thanks for the help bro!

@@Rxstro Cool! Is the AC functioning now? Might be worth it to take it to a proper ac shop and have them to a vacuum test on it so that you know for sure it’s sealed up. That way you can charge it and keep the $100 of Freon in the lines and now in the air outside the car haha. Some like the pre face lift e30. I personally like The facelift 89-91 e30 with the short plastic bumpers. In case you ever wanted to convert yours to the facelift bumpers. The entire front end will bolt up just fine. The rear will not at all without major work to the shock mounting points. A workaround is to drill holes into the bumper shocks and then back the car up to a wall and push the bumper in and that lets all The oil out of the shock and viola! Short bumpers.

@Knownworldwide Yea ac works perfect even with the fan not working for a few days I just turned off the ac in traffic lol it’s all sealed now and blowing cold 👍🏽 that’s good to know haha

@@Rxstro awesome! Just got the ac back up and going on my S13 too. It’s been broken for a few months. Happy to be cool again.

@Knownworldwide hell yea, one day ill get another 240 with ac lol

I had one in my 240 but it rattled like crazy if you don’t glue it down so that’s why I haven’t thought about it lol maybe a carpet overlay for now until I fix it

@@Rxstro I had the carpet overlay initially but it smelled like a old man. I had to take it out asap 😂

ah damn 😂😂 nothing some febreze won’t fix lol I’ll see what I do haha

hmm that’s probably what I have then since my tie rods aren’t that shot, never heard of them definitely gonna check that out, thanks bro!

Thank you!!!

thanks for the feedback I’ll do some research !

I kind of like how this bumper looks but I’ll look into that fs, I def want some skirts and a different rear bumper !

haha thank you! she’s gonna love this comment lol yessir bangers only 😂

yup that’s what I did already, I wired it into the ac button so when the button is pressed the fan just comes on 👍🏽 I’ll explain it next video too if anyone ever has the same issue, thanks for the help though !

thank you gang , appreciate that fr !

lmao I was dying editing b roll of a junk yard looking ass car man 😂😂😂 thank you bro!

If I can do it you can too haha thank you man ! that’s so cool, good luck with the sale boss!

yea I figured that out later haha tapping only from now lol thanks for the feedback bro !

S52 would be sick, not gonna lie my dream motor swap for this e30 would be an n54

hell yea!

I’m not worried about resale value until I start owning Porsches haha but yea I will remember that, I definitely would build it an oem plus style

@@svrepublic6551 no it won’t bro lmaooo I know the market… m50/s52 swaps sell for way more Only time “ stock” holds value is if it’s dummy clean like it’s been sitting the past 5 years

hmu on Instagram bro

I uploaded 2 weeks ago :’) thank you bro !

this was not planned legit a 5 minute decision it was so risky 😭 thanks bro appreciate the support fr !!!

haven’t gotten around to tow the 240 I want to refresh the suspension first but I can already tell it will, truck has a lot more power just driving it

never that haha I’m over KA’s until I boost mine in the 240 haha

@@Rxstro I got a forged ka-t making 400 honestly goated engine.

dope I’m excited to boost mine !

I actually upgraded trucks in my last video :) I got the 8.1 in a Silverado, I was looking at an 8.1 burb but they don’t come with the Allison trans like the duramax trucks

@@Rxstro is it a big difference in towing?

@@moejr14 Yea the 5.3 gets the job done or the 6.0 but doesn’t even compare to 8.1

gta car garage of old hoopties haha thanks bro one day I strive to have an actual gta garage !

@@Rxstro they cool ass cars bro but ofc man you gonna get there bro and you better take us with you🙏🙏

still waiting for the day you sell it back to me haha thanks bro appreciate it fr ! glad you still check in time to time man

exactly what I was thinking, can’t wait to dial the shifter, clutch, and suspension I wanna do coilovers soon

@@Rxstro OE shifter bushings will solve that hella loose shifter. Stock clutch for stock power will make the car easy to drive still. Don’t fall into the trap that you “need” a stage 400 clutch with a stock street car. Some H&R sport springs or race springs if you want it lower and some bilstiens will get you right plus ride nice still IMO.

@@Knownworldwide yeah you definitely don’t need anything over a stage 1 clutch for stock But if you plan to boost the car in the future then mineswell go to stage 2 right away I say stage 1 is good if you want a daily-able car but want it to catch better on “dig” pulls If your just looking for a cruiser I’d keep it as a “OEM” type clutch

the shifter already has an Ireland engeneering short shifter and bushings kit but the last owner didn’t upgrade to a DSSR, I already have a new selector joint and all that to make the shifter feel like new, and I do plan to put maybe just a stage 1 clutch and a lightweight flywheel to make it a bit more responsive :)

@@Rxstro man. The DSSR is a must. Don’t know why they wouldn’t have installed it from the gate. Cool, that’s a nice shifter for sure. Making me miss my E30! A full faced clutch disc will be great for everyday hooning.

am video? haha thanks bro !

thanks for the input :)

I sold the alcoas for like $300 I didn’t know they were ford wheels lol good to know ! I’ll keep an eye on my oil everything’s been good since then, thanks for the input bro !

man it’s always the comments like this that keep me going fr thank you for the support brother !

hell yea !

Same here

@acef_performance8416 🙏🏽

hell yea bro lmao let me know how that food hit 😂😂😂

thanks for the feedback bro ! hell yea man thank you im excited to learn more about it as well! hope you get one one day too

yessir thanks bro!

awesome I ended up putting vr1 20w50 in it later in the video :)
