@@kingmeshech5527 yea I slept in and it started snowing pretty quick but I knew if I didn’t get the truck into the carport it wasn’t gonna make it later on 😂

@@georgiaboy1579 actually the 6th lol I spent a good amount of time stuck out front and the camera didn’t pick it up That was 5th gear when I made it to the carport 😂

@@JayceJay-Pedro it’s getting there Thank you 🙏🏻

@@CoroPlanesLLC drag/drive truck eventually

You talking about the first ever drive I had the Silverado shifter and yes it would get into the steering wheel before I cut it down and fixed it 😂

@@calebraines2621 it’s stock so 9:1 I believe

@@CSXT8250 I’m actually running into issues now with 4.11 gear Trucks always spun on launch no matter what I try but with this 2step it’s at least getting to a 2.01 60ft and the draggy shows I have to hit 4th gear now at 600ft when I ran my best 8.02et So of course the better take off all the shift points happen sooner but right now I can run out 3rd gear another 400rpm to 6900rpm if I need to but if I keep going and finally get say a 1.8 60ft I’m stuck having to make a 4th gear shift for nothing Only thing I can think that will help is I’m currently running 26” tires and plan on going to 28” this spring or I may have to go back to 3.73 or something With the 4.11s street driving is awesome with 6th gear getting 22mpg and pulling some decent hills on highway lol

@@BamaGunsOutdoors yep you’ll want about a 27-3200rpm stall more then likely

@@richardstewart2827 my dad bought truck in 97 and passed away in 02 then it sat a many yrs and rusted down It had some frame rot over driver side rear wheel I had to patch and I needed to box and stiffen the frame so easiest way was for it to come all the way apart

@@REVENGE_ENT 02 f body t/a according to the tags on it

@@voradethsayaloune768 I swapped to new lifters and it went away I didn’t find anything wrong with the old lifters but I guess one had a defect making it tick

Thank you for the response!! I put in a cam kit and everything came with it besides the trunions. Definitely sounds like rocker tick. Hopefully I can get it figured out soon 😆! Thank you again!!!

@ mine ticked for a year almost because it never got worse and I never could find anything wrong to fix but I bought my original lifters used off fellow racer and it was only thing that I knew for sure wasn’t a quality part because they was claimed ls7 Michigan Motorsports lifters but they all look alike to me lol The btr Delphi lifters have been great though It’s rev 7400rpm plenty of times and still quiet Hope you find out what your tick is because once you hear it you can’t unhear it lol

Thank you! That will be my next step is to get higher quality rockers and pushrods. 😄 🤣

@@Mach_bro it had a luk 4.8 replacement clutch so nothing special It was rather new from a 07 Silverado with 40k miles it’s not fast lol Now for a nv3500 it was decent but the reason I went all in on a t56 was the shift quickness is 2x as fast I gain .30 off my 1/8 mile time with t56 no lift shifting 1st-3rd gears

@@Mach_bro th-cam.com/users/shortsDzuBlHRNzrQ?si=lbfnsKuMnEc3Ds9d This is the past weekend at a no prep track with t56 No way would my nv3500 shift at 6500rpm while spinning that fast

@@jaydennelson6544 I try lol

Thanks agin man

@@phillip-cl8bk yea when it was at +4° pinion the shaft was at down 1° while parked so it had to be over 4° when under power but didn’t have my vibrations lol Now that pinion is at 0° the shaft is now down 2° parked so I imagine under power the pinion will rise to 2-3° and the shaft will come up maybe 1° with it Either way it will be less the 3° I would think now

@@BamaGunsOutdoors depends on mounts and stuff you use and how level the motor is as far s pinion angle but Calvert says when running caltracs the optimum angle for the rear diff is -2 to -4 and they say the caltrac bars will only allow 2° of upward movement

@ well I will see what it does with what I have on it now then go from there but thought about making a metal box 2ftx2ft 2ft deep drilling to the bed and dropping a 5 or 6 10lb-20lb sand bags and put a lid on it to help with traction just a thought…

I started with cheap Amazon shorties but then bought some 1 3/4” long tubes from hedman

Gen3 5.3

Why would I want extra sets

@@Burn_pits cheaper and easier to just rivet it all together and bondo it I ain’t sure I’ll even like what this bumper will look like with ground effects so it may not be worth the cost I’ll have in using fiberglass

@@joshkersey934 I made most of it I’ve had 3 checkmate covers back in the 2000s and I wanted to find another but it’s rare and expensive now since they are discontinued I found this one local and it’s off brand made from a aluminum patio furniture place according to the tag on it But it was rubber edged and was old and dry rotted and I put the aluminum angle on it and some little things lol

@@BamaGunsOutdoors absolutely Me and him have msged back and forth a good bit He’s about the only thing on here I can compare mine too when I have a question

@@BamaGunsOutdoors should hit a good lick I think me having too much cam is what’s hurting mine When I turn the 2step down to say 2400rpm it hooks great but from 3000-5500rpm my truck had no power with the big cam

@ yea bigger cam ain’t always the answer unless you have the Good heads equal to the cam

@@SterlingRobertson it’s mostly in the idle tune Timing advances and retards a good bit with every lope and fuel has to be on the lean side for mine At idle it’s 17:1 afr but if I add fuel to say 14.7:1 it sounds like normal cam idle

Yea I messed up by getting them off a buddy and not knowing how old they was lol

@@luiscarrasquillo9743 51.5” I’m pretty sure I had it made for 55” when I had the nv3500 trans and we cut it down and welded it when I shortened it and never had it balanced but I haven’t had any problem lol

@@Ls_swap211 I have mine with a 4l60e but noticed that the truck is stiff in the rear so I was measuring and came up with exactly that 55” so I have to shorten mine bout an inch and a half

@@luiscarrasquillo9743 I thought at first and still might be wrong but this one was a 3” .095” wall 55” shaft but when I run those numbers on driveshaft calculator it says 6000rpm critical rpm at 1:1 or 4th gear I would have to go 4” steel or 3” aluminum to get a safe critical rpm I know a lot of people that run 150mph with older muscle cars with 2.5” stock shaft and they do fine Guess I’ll find out the hard way if I ever make a 1/4 pass lol

@@Ls_swap211 Looking forward to see that video 👍🏼
