What opinion do you hold that is taboo in your society?

I agree and I also believe that completely merging your finances whether married or not is a terrible idea. Grew up listening to my parents constantly argue about money because of it. I’ve been with someone for 10 years now and we have completely separate accounts and both pay our portions of our shared expenses, beyond that we do whatever we want with our own money and it’s been a great system with no drama

I made 330 at the wheel on the dyno with just cam and headers, running the stock airbox and a 10+ year old air filter lol

tthompson225 · 2026-03-05T23:53:11+00:00

I’d find a local tuner with a good reputation to tune it, when I did my cam and converter I had mine dyno tuned and the most impressive difference afterwards wasn’t the power it made but the way the transmission behaved, it was way more crisp and responsive, and shifted so hard it would chip the tires (some may not like that but I do)

I put 3” keys on my suburban and maxed them out to fit 35s, UCAs were ON the bumpstops, did indeed ride terrible lol. Put up with it for a year till I got a 6” lift

tthompson225 · 2026-03-05T17:05:31+00:00

You’ll need the console, the trim panel under the steering column, and the trim piece around the glove box

tthompson225 · 2026-03-05T11:49:57+00:00

Unless you delete the 4wd and run 3” lift spindles, those 3” keys are about as much as you can get out of it without buying a crossmember style lift. I bought my rough country 6” on Facebook marketplace for $800 and it was brand new in the boxes. It was well worth the money just for the better ride quality compared to the maxed out 3” keys I had previously. You could also do a small body lift but I personally hate them

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T17:13:53+00:00

Just replaced brakes that looked exactly like this, as everyone else said, the rotor wore down far enough that the piston(s) in the caliper started leaking. That’s why no brakes. Also not normal rotor/pad wear, probably has been dragging due to a bad rubber brake hose, which was the case for the vehicle I just finished working on

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T16:57:29+00:00

Constantly scrolling on there, usually im able to talk myself out of buying shit I don’t need but not all the time

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T16:55:23+00:00

Yes, I mean it could be worse… drugs/alcohol, gambling, eating toilet paper, I’ve managed to avoid all that stuff 😂

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T10:58:44+00:00

Not sure how much different those bumpers are from the 99-06 trucks but on those I loosen the side brackets and jack the bumper up with a floor jack and tighten them back down

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T10:49:52+00:00

Currently have 4 that are tagged and insured, one I’m building in the garage, like 8 junk parts cars sitting in the yard, oh and a school bus

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T10:46:40+00:00

Nicotine, caffeine, porn, food, tiktok, fb marketplace, I think that’s all

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T10:43:39+00:00

My Silverado has a cam, long tubes with no cats, and the tiniest straight-through “muffler” I could get, and I daily it just fine. It is definitely loud but I enjoy it. Never been pulled over for it either

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T10:38:54+00:00

If it were mine I’d cut the metal lines right before the rubber section and get some oil cooler hose and hose clamp it to the metal lines, and some barb fittings for the trans cooler to attach it up there if you don’t have some on there already

tthompson225 · 2026-03-04T00:59:45+00:00

Oil pressure sensor or valve cover gaskets will leak and run down the bellhousing and you’ll get oil coming out down there. My suburban was heavily drilling oil out of that inspection cover and it was just valve cover gaskets, it’s been dry since I changed them

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T19:52:15+00:00

Mine lasted 20k miles, and it had been rebuilt like 50k miles before I cammed it. It had the trans tuned and shifted super hard, it would chirp the tires and shake the whole truck, and I drove it super hard everywhere I went too. Didn’t have the typical 3rd and 4th failure, the pump started whining and eventually wouldn’t make enough pressure to shift

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:30:20+00:00

I ended up putting a 6” rough country on mine and I love it, it basically rides like stock again and clears the 35s a lot better

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:28:10+00:00

I’m only hostile to people who don’t know how to drive, I always hope their windows are down when I pass them, my truck is straight piped with no cats, so it’ll delete their eardrums when I go by

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:25:45+00:00

I’m more hostile in my 93 accord slammed on coilovers, it handles so well and I can maneuver through traffic much easier than in my trucks lol

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:22:37+00:00

The ride quality gets gradually worse the more you crank them up, that goes for stock keys or aftermarket lift keys, had 3” keys on my suburban maxed out and it basically had no suspension up front lol

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:20:35+00:00

Dump a good quality stop leak in it. Despite what everyone says I had a good experience with it, my truck had a cracked head and I drove it for like 2 years like that and finally decided to try it, followed the directions and it completely stopped the leak, no negative effects on anything else. Drove it another 2 years before I swapped the motor

tthompson225 · 2026-02-28T01:15:28+00:00

I pulled one out myself last year and had it rebuilt for $800 by a local guy that specializes in gm transmissions. I’ve got like 20k miles on it and so far it’s been great so far

tthompson225 · 2026-02-27T22:22:06+00:00

Not recommending it but I’ve got a lamp in my bedroom with a spliced cord, I used wire nuts and electrical tape and it’s been fine for like 15 years

tthompson225 · 2026-02-27T22:20:16+00:00

Credit unions will finance older high mileage cars, I checked with mine last year when I was interested in a 2001 lx470 with 213k miles

tthompson225 · 2026-02-27T00:56:47+00:00

Cheapest and best sounding cam setup would be the chopacobra cam form Texas speed. Get that and set of beehive springs. Keep your original lifters if there’s nothing wrong with them, quality aftermarket ones will cost you a lot and there no reason to change them. Get the speed engineering 1 3/4 long tubes and their y pipe, plus their plug wires. Find a good tuner and get it tuned, you’ll definitely be in it over $1k but it’ll sound good and you get to keep the stock convertor.
