    Hydroboost compatibility

    There's several SDs with hydroboost and alot of Chevys at the local pick n pull. May be a stupid question but what is the compatibility on these things? What are the main differences, rods, mounting?

    On the fence about tires (yep, another tire thread)

    I put general grabber at2 on a '10 4 door Z71 and got 75k on them. I just put them on everything unless I'm going for a certain look.

    Still in nee of help

    This may be a stupid question but... How is so much water getting into the engine from just rain ? Did you have something open? I've only hydrolocked an engine once and it was from going completely under water.

    Anyone put both batteries on one side?

    I had 7 of them go bad within 3 years. I'll never buy another one. When my job upgraded I upgraded batteries in everything. They may take abuse well for race or off road applications but they absolutely don't last. I had a yellow top in one of my trucks and it did the same...

    adding gauges.....

    They're not going to come with specific instructions unless you order a kit from banks or some one. Just gotta look for a hole that has the fluid you're trying to read. There's an unused water jacket hole on the rear passenger head, not sure about the trans. Mine are all standard but autos...

    My first attempt at zinc plating and yellow chromate, turned out nice except for some crystal formation. Gonna have to turn it down some I think.

    Frame on? Resto?

    I was wondering about the sleeve. I've never had to use one.

    Frame on? Resto?

    I'm hoping I can, I put the seal in the front cover with rtv before I cleaned and inspected the balancer. We'll see though. Worst case, I buy a new seal and move it I guess

    Thanks alot @IDIBRONCO. And the top and bottom two middle water pump bolts need silicone right. I'm debating buying a new balancer. There's a large line cut in it from the seal.

    Is there supposed to be a gasket between the front cover and the oil pan or do you guys use rtv? I'm going to put the front of the engine back together today. Any trouble spots that need special care?

    I think I may put a brass ball valve on the back of the fuel filter housing before the barb connecting the tank and the outlet of the electric pump. I bought a facet pump before I read a whole lot about them. Gonna see how long it lasts. Thanks for the help man!

    Frame on? Resto?

    Anybody had any problems moving the fuel filter down to the frame? I'm going to figure something out for the bleeder up near the engine but... I cut the bracket from the engine and kind of mocked it up. I'm going to weld flanges in the highlighted areas and mount it in this location so the...
