85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

[MTCK]

Very cool. What ratio do you have now? You're just replacing the R&P and putting in the LSD right?

[85burb]

I have a 410 now. I figured i should repace the gears with the truetrac. Ya that is all i am replaceing for now. May get chromaley (sp) axle shafts one day.

[85burb]

No real updates but did take him off roading and fishing today with my brother. He tryed out his locker and new km2 tires and mostliky blew his motor up on way there. Good thing he has a engine being built. Mine ran great. Buddy has no trouble spinning all tires. I had both front tires and atleat one rear spinning. Not even half throttle. Kinda weak 4x4ing but was fun. We were going to go to gilmer soon but with his motor broken looks like it will be a while..

Not a hole lot going on. Had all the money to install my diff then my little girl had a absessed tooth.....so there went 1600 buck..... But i have half the money saved back up to install diff. I am doing a oil change on it sunday and i just figured i would check the plugs cause i will be getting some for wifes car to do sunday. Any ways my plugs look good.

No i want to go but i think my bro blew up his motor so i dont know when i will get to go. I dont want go alone. Stuck burb with no help makes for a long day. I hope to get one of my buddys to go one day. A long time ago i tryed to get a few people together on here to go but no one wanted to. I hope to get my truetrac installed soon and after i get that i may push harder to get there.

[85burb]

So i have the date set up for the rear end install. I will drop it off sunday afternoon and he will do work on monday and i can pick it up monday night. I am supplying the gears, install kit, carrier and he is supplying the oil, wheel seals, and wheel bearings. He is charging me a tad more then 450. Is that a ok deal? It was 3 something tell he priced the wheelseals and bearings.

[MTCK]

Sounds good to me. I got quoted $1500 for front and rear r&p, I supply all parts including bearings, seals etc. I won't be using that shop...

[85burb]

Ok i dont feel bad then. I just want it to work and last a long time. I would maybe try the front my self but deff not the rear. It is used every time i turn burb on and go somewere. So i will be compleating the last one tire fire tomorrow to signify the end of his one legged ness. Cant wait to TEST the new one out....

[85burb]

Oh ya.......... forgot to mention i think i have bought a house with a 3 car shed/carport/barn thing. So i now (or soon) will have a good place to work on buddy. He is excited about all this. No more rain on his head (that is if it would ever rain here again) he says!

[85burb]

For got to post a pic of the coolest burb other then mine i have ever seen......

[85burb]

Well i got my burb back from rear end shop today.........I have failed myself. I told my brother 98 time befor he ordered his gear set to check the ratio..... So i should practice what i tell him sometime. As it turns out i hade 3.73 gears in my truck. The set i ordered are 410. The diff shop did not think to look at what set i had in it cause i got the parts my self. So it looks like i will be getting thr front done sooner then i had thought. FAIL!

[MTCK]

Ah the accidental upgrade, I love that! I bet those 4.10's will feel great with the way your rig is set up.

[85burb]

It deff feels different. I have on more heat cycle tell i will get on it. I am sure it will be faster. I am not sure if the gear change will help my speedo. Befor it said 55 and i was actually doing 65. That was with 373. Now it has 410 gear. Would that help my speedo or make it more off. I am thinking it would help right?

[68GMCCustom]

should make it closer....?

[85burb]

That is what i was thinking. But i am not sure. Will have to bust the good ole gps out and see.

[85burb]

Well i took buddy for his first long drive with new rearend. My speedo is exactly the same as my gps. It is dead on at 35-65. Befor and after the gps and speedo disagree a tad. It also drives way better the befor. Has more power runs smoother around town due to rpm be a little higher. 65 mph is a little under 1900 rpm. I love the new set up. It spins both tires if i "power break" or stall test or what ever you call it. Deff have some wheel hop now. But overall it is perfict.

[MTCK]

Launch pretty hard if you just mash it?

Oh ya. Befor it would most of the time smoke a tire now i am worried about breaking a seat....

[85burb]

So the hole time i have had the new motor in the truck i have had a slight issue i have not messed with. Some times in or out of gear you can hear the fuel pump change it humm and then the motor bogs down to like 200 rpm. I am not sure if it did it with old motor but i dont think so. It will idle great then just bog down to 200 and come right back up to 750. It did it with efi and with carb. It has never died. I dont think it would be trans related cause it does it in gear and in N. Any ideas?

[68GMCCustom]

wow that's a tough one...since you changed the fuel system completely. I'm guessing it has a different line and fuel filter then before too? If so...the only constant is your gas tank. Any chance of contamination?

Any chance the MSD is causing it?

[85burb]

It is a different filter but same line. I have one of those see threw glass filters infornt of my pump and it is clean. I dont think my tank is contaminated. It has seen many many many gallons of fuel threw it and gotten faily low a few times with no change. It is like something is draging the alt down or something. Cause if it were fuel i dont think it would have affected the carb right at the same time the fuel pump starts to get loud. Cause of the resurve in the bowl. I can tell you exactly how far i can go on a float bowl full of fuel. I used to for get to turn my fuel pump on some times after sitting at work waiting for the gate to be opened.

[68GMCCustom]
