I've heard nothing but negative about Fram filters. I'd hope you get a better quality filter for a motor like that.

 

[thatK30guy]

Oh yeah, what kind of intake is on there?

 

[Rhino6678]

lil bit of both this is my first 4x4 im use to working on my 2wd swb

man im glad i work at a parts store i picked all the brakes for my disk brake covnversion pads, rotors, calipers, and severe duty pads and it was only 90 bucks, i got that planned for the weekend to swap that over so ill post some pics

Hmmm I never even thought of an electric water pump... so do you think you actually get more power out of doing that? I mean sure its one less thing running a pulley/belt off the engine but at the same time I bet that thing pulls some serious power so its giving your alternator a run for its money...
So what happened with the blazer deal with the "dana 60"?

 

[Rhino6678]

yea it save any where fron 15-30hp, it didnt have a dana 60 in the blazer but i still bought it i just gatta make room for it now, but i did find a dana 60 ima pick it up on the 15 of dec.

 

[Avery4jc]

haha yeah I remember thats why I said "dana 60".

I wonder why more guys don't run electric water pumps...sounds like some big numbers to me...

 

[Rhino6678]

one money is an issue and two some people say its not good to run one on the street for many reason, but i said hell theres only one way to find out... but yea i found a dana 60 bare, ima go and get it and start on it , then that blazer ima strip the all the drivetrain out from under it, and try to sell the shell

 

[Avery4jc]

luckily you are at the auto parts shop

 

[Rhino6678]

yea it helps it cost me 100 bucks for both rotors, severe duty pads, and both calipers

 

[Thunder]

It looks like you are on your way to building a nice go fast 4x4. Not really a trail rig......... But it will be one nice truck in the mud, hill climbs, and for making people go Oh sh** that things fast. I can picture you smoking a set of 44s
