🔧 BUILD CMNT's thing is bigger than yours v. cubic inch displacement

[Bob Kazamakis]

I’m just excited for the wheels themselves. They look so good on other things.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Where the fuck are these h2 wheels?

You're gonna continue to wait.

Guy sold them before I could get them. I was working 7 days a week, 13+ hours and just could never hook up.

I just ended up getting new tires in the same 265/75/16 that I had on there. I needed them as the next few days is when the snow deluge started

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I mean, I dig those forged wheels a lot. Would be more enticing if they weren’t like 6.5” wide but they weigh so little.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, I've always liked them TBH. So I'm not really overly upset.

WANT

 

[CMNTMXR57]

They look better on the Burb than on the Hummer TBH. But that may be because of the center cap change.

With the nice weather today, spent some time going through more things.

1) I've had a decent sized oil leak. I traced it back to the oil cooler lines. A common issue on these. So I did that today.

The fun part was taking a bath in a quart of oil. Just for shits and giggles, I cut back the plastic wire looming that they wrapped around the rubber hose section, oil came pouring out... it was like taking a bath in it. That's how much was settled in there. So yea, it was the cooler lines.

2) As I am going to do something exhaust wise to the truck (I gotta have a little volume), I started looking at how/where I could cut and replace. I noted something very odd. Both downstream (post-cat HO2S) bungs are capped. Meaning no sensor. And there isn't any wiring harness/plugs there at all indicating the previous owner just got rid of them and capped them. There ain't shit there. There are pre-cat HO2S's, but nothing after the cats on either bank. I don't have any codes, no MIL, nothing... So I am scratching my head here. In all parts diagrams, it shows HO2S's there and part numbers for them.

Back on the sound part though, I'm gonna do some research on what will work best for sound. It is 2 - 2.5" pipes in to the muffler and 2 - 3" out, in to a "Y" that is 2.5" out to the tail pipe. Magnaflow, Gibson and I believe Flowmaster make pre-fabbed setups, I just fear that they'll be too loud.

3) Playing around the rear end (Yea, I just said that), as one of the things I'm going to do next weekend is drain and refill the diff with fresh gear oil (just ordered a nice new cover too), was that with my auto-ride, I had this little rod hanging down. Poking around, I find that that was the link to the ride height sensor. Damn thing was broken. Sadly unlike the 1/2 tonners where you can just get the linkage rod, the 2500's you gotta buy the whole friggen sensor, so I just did that.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I’d assume the cats have been tuned out then unless it’s got some old school sensor spoofs from like Casper somewhere.

Auto ride hmmm, is it just in the back?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Perhaps. But I don't see any wiring at all back there to even put the spoofers in. I had several set of those in the past, so knowing what they look like, they would've stuck out.

I think it's just the back. It has the stability control setup at all four corners, but just the back has the load leveling.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Seems like I'm not the only one;

oxygen sensors

[CMNTMXR57]

And I just found this diagram (the muffler placement isn't right, but oh well...). Part #9 used on both banks is clearly a plug.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Interesting, 2 less things to deal with!

 

[Yaj Yak]

weight reduction

 

[CMNTMXR57]

That was exactly my thought. Two less sensors to have to break loose.

Stepping back in my mammory banks, I DO recall stuff like this, but on chassis cabs/upfitter vehicles. Not regular pickups and burbs though.

 

[taws697]

My dads 2000 454/4L80E CCLB also had no post-cat O2’s. He bought it new and every time he brought it to the dealer, the service department would try to deny working on the truck. They were always convinced he modified it.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

After further reading last night, it does seem like it's just isolated to the big blocks.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i have a set like that without tires in my shed, one has a slight crack near the lip, the seller didn't tell me about it and i didn't notice until i got home.

similar condition i'd say.

id let em go for a handle of jack though. i know im not doing shit with em.

Will it safely hold air? I am at the point where I desperately need tires and I've been kicking the can down the road somewhat because I have been keeping my eyes out for bigger 8 lug wheels to open up my tire size options. I'm limited to 265/75/16 (what's currently on the truck), with the OEM 16x6.5 wheel.

i think if i were to use it id just take it somewhere that welds aluminum and have them hit it to not worrya bout it personally.

it may hold air but i wouldn't want to go through the trouble of mounting it and shit and finding out it didn't.

do you want these? id give em to you if you can snag em like this weekend though i need em outta my shed

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, I'll take them. What's your favorite libation?

 

[Yaj Yak]

Yea, I'll take them. What's your favorite libation?

vodka that can't be used as wallpaper stripper (skol) or bourbon. but really don't have to bring anything man, id just rather em go to someone who may potentially be able to use em. i won't.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Do you have any preferred times to meet up to exchange goods?
