    085 better spooling, zf5, and intercooled

    This is a right up for what I’ve done to my 085 turbo kit The 085 turbo kit is general looked at as one of the runt of the pack, but for how cheap they are and a couple hundred bucks you can make them keep up with the more expensive sought offer kits To Start off this is TBC as I have yet to...

    Manual high idle troubles

    I’ve had my high idle on a manual switch for a long time but I find myself not using it much because it will start off normal 950-1000 rpm and then over the course of 10 minutes work its way up to 2k by itself Was wondering what the fix is or some things to go off here

    Transmission upgrade on my 83 4x4

    Yes I did, was 2wd before even started as a c6 too then went to t-19 then zf5 from there Zf5 is the no brainer for over drive, assuming you have a manual the swap is crazy easy. If you have an auto the c6 to e4od is a lot harder becuase you’ll need a trans controller Or you can always manual...

    Transfer case options

    My opinion is that while the bw1356 may not be the strongest they do work just fine and it isn’t worth the driveline bill to fix something that ain’t broke
