    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Yup - we are solo across UT, but then with a 9 or so vehicle group in CO. I'm programming in the repeaters after a meeting tonight and the NOAA channels - and then learning how to put my radio on scan for both bands..........LOL.

    Dammit THAT'S why I ran down to Big 5. I got there and went - ****** did I just come here for? And bought some trout bait and left. Gotta do another run down there. Thanks for the reminder - I need the roll bar mount to go on my roof rack.

    More updates. Getting ready for what will be the biggest trip we have ever done - 11 days total, 3 across Utah and then 7 across CO - with all of the CO stuff being on dirt across the Rockies - and 1 day home. Being able to do trips like this is why I've been updating, upgrading, and modding...

    2004 Z71 Suburban 2.0

    Welcome. I've scattered 3 4L60E transmissions. The one I have now is 100% aftermarket and upgraded with all severe duty components, shift kit, converter, etc and a big transcooler in front of the radiator (I got rid of the plumbing into the radiator). Just for comparison - my new trans cost me...

    Bear - you have a transcooler - it's just inside of your radiator. The trans line goes into one port and out the other back into the trans. The issue is you water temp is going to be between 195-210 - which will then pull your trans temps up that high was well. I added an additional transcooler...

    Seeking Advice: How to Map Repeaters for a Trip?

    Thanks for all of the help. I downloaded the apps on my phone. And am looking at the K5ehx.net site - not sure if these are active as many listed haven't been updated. Guess I can cross reference them with Repeater Book and my ARRL guide. But the plan a route feature is extremely useful. Thanks!!!

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Lucas Fuel Treatment - HELP!! I bought a 32oz bottle of this stuff - which is enough for 320 gallons of fuel treatment. I had just filled my tank - 32 gallons when my daughter decided she would help me and put it ALL in my tank. I've gone on the Lucas site and done some research. According to...

    Seeking Advice: How to Map Repeaters for a Trip?

    You guys may or may not recall that I recently got my Tech license (KM6LSU) and I purchased a Yaesu FTM400-XDR along with a Diamond 55 antenna and installed them in my vehicle. I've programmed in a couple of local repeaters and the reception and transmission are extremely clear - so I'm happy...

    Mounting your remote display

    My Avalanche has a two piece center console. I ripped out the front half plastic portion and built one out of metal to house my Lowrance, Yaesu FTM-400/XDR, Cobra 75 CB, external speaker for the Yaesu and toggle switches. I removed the factory On Star cluster in the dash and placed a Wedgie...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Yah - when my factory pump died, it got replaced with an Airtex - that only lasted 9,000 miles and it started making the loud noise of impending death. It now has another OEM AC Delco unit.

    Did Wil tell you he actually has the HM tent in stock in his facility? If not, verify that. I spent 5 months trying to get a HM tent, finally switched to Eezi-Awn.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Rayra - since you are changing out your pump - are there any options for our rigs to convert it to an external pump? That would make it a whole lot easier to deal with. I'm considering cutting an access hatch in the floor of my Av to get to mine in the future. But, I just put a new AC Delco OEM...

    Totally New - Looking to Learn

    Welcome. There is some stuff you can start teaching him while at home, like: How to read a map, how to use a compass, how to navigate. Draw out a course - headings and steps (his size), put a towel over his head and have him use the compass and instructions to navigate his way through a course...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Now, it's time to start practicing setting up the new Eezi-Awn Xklusiv 1400 RTT. The tent opens easy enough, then for a newbie the game changes a little. There are two things to pay attention to when unpackaging this tent for the first time - and both have to do with the ladder box. First, The...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Update time again. I installed the new 225amp Powermaster alternator to go along with the new heavy duty cabling, and it performs very well. I also installed new upper and lower radiator hoses, added new heater hoses (thankfully because the fitting on the original was brittle and snapped easily)...
