i think mine has 3.73's in it but i'm not 100% sure... what about it would be "too much" for the 'hoe? seems like a fairly "mild" (by today's standards) cam for the LSX engines

You may find it sluggish down low, below 4k rpms. But, from 4k to 6k it will rip pretty good. You will not be going over 6300 rpm. The cam drops off about 6k. I probably wouldnt go much larger than the 224r, unless you just wanted the chop.

The weight of you ride will change the stall some.

Have you changed injectors yet? With that cam and stock injectors I was hittin 105% duty cycle 5500 rpms.

definitely food for thought... what cam would you suggest? i like the choppy idle, and definitely want the extra power from a cam swap- regardless of what it sounds like

the stall is being built for my truck, rather than an off the shelf unit, hence it is taking ~2 weeks from time of order to delivery... a little higher than 2600 is fine though, as long as it it better than the converter that is in there now which stalls to ~3800+/- and has no lockup function... i just need the overall driveability and reliability back...

i dont mind buying injectors if i have to for it to be "right"... at the price point for the cam/springs/pushrods the guy is selling, i can afford to upgrade injectors too if i need to, but if i dont HAVE to, i won't...

all of this being said, the truck is still a daily driver in theory and not a race truck so it wont really be beat on, but more-so something that sounds/looks good and puts down decent power and is fun to drive...

the 224r would work well in your truck

that's what i was thinking... thanks

My tbss has a 2800 stall with the 224r cam... still drives good and sounds pretty agressive

i remember hearing it at the shop that day when you came by to check out the tahoe.... definitely a good sounding cam and seems to make good power... hopefully, the guy gets back to me soon

finally got the truck fixed and home!!! new, custom 2600 stall circle d stage 2 converter with upgraded clutches, new pump seal, new shift solenoids, and a fresh AC Delco filter and bg synthetic fluid installed along with some computer adjustments on the shift points/line pressures... damn it feels good to drive it again!!!

Driving to NC from NY and made it to Jersey. Seems like the fuel pump died on me. This bitch is about to become someone else's problem... Currently waiting outside of a chevy dealer in NJ for them to open.

Damn man, that sucks. Good luck

Good luck man... I hope it is something simple.

That sucks. If its like the fuel pump in my brothers suburban that fuel pump isnt cheap.

Thanks guys.

So, the dealer they towed me to is bankrupt and can't fix my truck since they can't get parts. Waiting on another truck to take me to another dealer. With my enlistment bonus hitting my account last night and all the problems I've had with this thing I might just trade it in. I'll be damned if I'm spending much more on this a truck that treats me this bad...

FYI, they only sell the fuel pump as the whole assembly and they are around $300-400 depending where you get it from. I've changed several and I just take the assembly apart and install a new $50 pump for a Mustang and problem solved for cheap......however I am sure that is not an option for you on the road. Sorry to hear your having another problem with the Tahoe, that truck has been a PITA to you......

Trade that bish in for a Vette at the dealership :D

Try more like 500. man i could get you a deal if you were in sc. best of luck. how far is jersey from charleston

FYL. Get a tow to yankeeland ford and pick out a 2013 mustang gt.

I tried to google a funny gif to answer this. This is one of the ones that popped up for some reason or another. I think it's better than what I would have posted anyways:

id hit it, whos bringing me a frosty saturday night?

I will if ou actually show up 2 weeks in a row

I'll bring you some chicken nuggets if you actually show up.

dang guys you act like you actually like me

A full bear is a happy bear

Bring the truck and I'll bring ya a frosty. Again.

$509 for the pump, $90 for a new filter, 4 hours labor for the install... while it's there, i'm having them install the new timken front wheel bearings, brakemotive rotors, and delco pads that were riding in the back for me to do at the shop at home, so that's another 4 hours labor... fml, this trip got expensive... the dealership is being pretty awesome about it all though and gave me every discount they could cram into the computer... still almost a $1500 job out the door (cant remember if that's before or after discounts... ive been awak for over 24 hours and dealing with this since 0200 this morning...)

also, while i was trying to decide what to do, i went shopping in their showroom... had the deal made on an 09 G8 GT with 46k on it until they came back with what they would give me for the 'hoe on trade... i promptly told them to eat a dick and that i would set the bitch on fire in their parking lot and let it burn before i accepted their offer... their "top dollar" was $1500- ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? i told them what i would take for it on trade, and made it clear i was also planning to put 50% cash down on the price of the car if they would pay me what i wanted for it and they basically told me to go fuck myself...

Wow!!

$1500...? With a brand new motor and a bunch of freshening up? They are smoking crack!!!

Go see the ford dealer.

OMG I can not believe that the dealership is charging $1500 for all that. Should call other shops and shop around. Jiffy lube can probably do it for $150 labor.




*disclaimer* was a joke was not serious

i have half a mind to call the GM and see what he thinks about losing a definite vehicle sale for a ~$1500 service ticket

You should absolutely do that. No joke.

What did you want out of the Tahoe? The fact that it has a new engine tires brakes aint gonna affect the trade in value whatsoever. It sucks but its true.

Not saying it isnt worth alot more than that Im just saying. My inlaws have alteady said they are just gonna gift us their Tahoe when they buy a new one cause my father inlaw threatened to throw a chair through hendricks front window because of the lowball trade in they offered.

i told them if they would give me $4k on trade-in i would buy the car... kbb in POOR condition is higher than that

Unfortunately they don't go off of KBB.

lately dealerships are basing trade ins off of what they can sell it at wholesale auction for. Especially on a vehicle over 10 years old

i know... however, im pretty sure there is more than enough markup in the G8 to cover it and still make a profit... whatever... after today, i might as well keep it another year or so and get my money's worth out of it... i'm still going to buy another car, but this would've allowed me to kill 2 birds with one stone and get something nicer than what i was looking at... all black G8 GT's with chrome wheels, black interior, and tint are fucking sexy

recently we traded in two of my buddys trucks, reg cab z71's 200k miles, they gave 7k for the one i know about. new truck was 28k, they gave him 7k and he financed 21k at his bank

I think your 4k request is spot on. Tell em to pound sand.

x2, I'm pretty shocked they turned you down, especially with that much cash on your end.
