Disc brake swap questions PLEASE HELP
RivGuy replied to Heath815's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500Are there sections on this forum for "Write Up's" where someone will do a complete write up of the modification and document it on here with pic's.?? I have not been able find anything like that. But I'm new and still learning to navigate the forum as well as trying to learn as much as I can about the subjects that matter to me and my truck. Such as converting the rear drum brakes to disk brakes. If there's an in-depth write up I'd love to read it so I'm not making rookie judgements and mistakes. Someone that has done this mod and posted all the steps taken and parts needed would be great. Thanks to anyone who can respond with the info needed to do this job using all the correct parts and more importantly What Not To Do.
OnStar/Bluetooth & Bose system removal??
RivGuy replied to TheFlyingTraut's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500Does anyone have any pic's of the bose amplifier mounted in the extended cab 1500.??? I know the speakers say Bose, so I'm assuming from what I read that it has an amp also. I think the system sounds like ass and would like to replace some components, i.e the amp with a couple of good amps that I already have then better speakers if necessary.. If there is a Bose subwoofer installed it would be nice to know where that's located as I can't hear anything that sounds like a real subwoofer in my cab. I would love to find the factory manual for this truck in paper form, not digital disk. Then I could see all this stuff without having to ask questions.
RivGuy replied to RivGuy's topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & DrivetrainThanks for all the input. Shop down the road has BG products and equipment. May get some of the fuel treatment or have the full service done by him. He's very thorough. Cleans the intake and the maf along with other little things that shops don't bother doing. Also will install new plugs and have oil changed afterwards.
GMT800 Talk, chime in
RivGuy replied to absinthminded's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500Just finished reading all 20 pages of this thread. I am trying to learn and not to be a pain in the arse to anyone. I have lots of questions since buying my 05 ext cab w/5.3L Z71 about a month ago. Only 119,750 miles. Was hoping to find some info on a couple of things in this thread. Got hints but nothing in depth. If someone can point me to a post or thread discussing the following I'd be very appreciative. 1) Converting rear drum brakes to disc brakes. What year/model trucks will fit mine or do I have to go aftermarket.??? Or should I just replace all the drum brake parts as needed.? 2) OEM stereo has Bose speakers and still sounds like crap. I have a couple of very good amps and a subwoofer that I could use in this truck. Does the factory head unit have RCA connectors to support the install of my amps or do I have to go with an aftermarket radio? Would like to use stock radio and just be able to bypass the internal amp by hooking up my amps. 3)The truck is tight and clean and runs great. But I think I need new shocks front and rear. Any recommendations on make/model of shocks for this 4x4.?? Just want it comfortable for riding on the bad roads in this part of the country. Not looking to do any serious off-roading at this time. As time goes on I'm sure I'll have more questions but as I said I'm trying to find the answers on my own so as not to be asking repetitive questions on the forum. Thanks for any and all help Y'all can provide me. Rick
RivGuy posted a topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & DrivetrainDoes anybody have any input about using Seafoam in the 5.3 engine.? On my previous car I used Seafoam by disconnecting the vacuum hose from the brake booster while the engine was running and with a funnel slowly poured Seafoam into the intake while operating the throttle from under the hood so the engine wouldn't stall. This produced a lot of smoke, which is expected as it cleans the combustion chambers. After I was done and shut the engine off I removed the spark plugs and replaced them with new ones. Since I don't know the history of this engine I'm thinking of doing the same thing as well as cleaning the MAF sensor with the proper spray cleaner for it. Does anyone have any input on this or a reason I shouldn't try cleaning the combustion chambers, intake and MAF sensor. Would appreciate any input before I do this. Thanks
Fuel Consumption
RivGuy replied to RivGuy's topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & DrivetrainThank you very much Ryan, I appreciate your input. As I have said I'm clueless when it comes to this vehicle and engine but am eager to learn. Rick
Fuel Consumption
RivGuy posted a topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & DrivetrainNow that I'm a new owner of a 5.3L engine I was wondering if others seem to find this engine consumes gas while it's parked in the driveway.??? I'm kidding obviously, but I'm just not used to this much fuel consumption. Even after having owned a Supercharged Riviera that I did a lot of mod's and mapping to. That car didn't burn nearly the amount of fuel this truck does and I had some serious mods done to the Riv. Anyway, I know they are 2 different vehicles and 2 different engines and I don't know what the previous owner may have done to the fuel and timing mapping after having installed an aftermarket exhaust system. (FlowMaster) The exhaust sounds good but it also exits just before the passenger side rear wheels, for what that's worth. I got heavily involved in the Mod's to my GM 3800 V6 Supercharged engine in the Riviera. From Stainless headers, high flow cat, cam, injectors, longer ratio rocker arms and stronger Valve springs to intake mods and finally the appropriate tuning from a guy that was on the forum and lived near me that ran his engine on the dyno during different modifications and saved all his tunes on his laptop. He was able to download a tune to my car that he had used in the past with the exact same mod's that I had and went with me to the dyno to ensure it was tuned perfectly after the mods were done. I didn't put the smaller SC pulley on until we were there, at the shop, and after he downloaded the complete tuning software to my PCM, then ran it on the Dyno to make some tweeks and confirm all was good and we were not experiencing any knock. The overall plan was to let more air in and open the exhaust to let more out prior to putting a smaller pulley on the SC to spin it faster and get more HP and Tq safely. Which I accomplished. I didn't try to blow the engine up. I did successfully make the engine more efficient while getting more HP and Tq at the same time. Anyway, I'm not sure what, if anything other than the exhaust has been done to this truck but it sure feels like it has a lot of balls for a heavy 4 wheel drive truck. It accelerates as good if not better than the Riv and probably weighs 1 1/2 times the car but would beat it on any on ramp. Without the proper software to hook up to the OBD2 port how would I know. What software is available for this powertrain so I can start to look at what the engine and trans is doing. Does anybody have any suggestions on what the best tuning software would be.? I'd like to hook the laptop up to the vehicle and determine where things are at and where I may be able to make some efficiency and power improvements.!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to learn more about this 5.3 engine and what can be done to make it more efficient. Thanks a lot for any and all input, Rick
Thanks for that info Ryan, I really appreciate it. I'll assume there is a good reason for using the 5W30 Synthetic over regular oil.? I just replaced oil and filter after getting the truck, only about 3oo miles on it so far (119,700 total miles), but will definitely take your advice about using full synthetic oil during the next oil change and checking the oil level frequently. As you can tell I'm new to this truck and these engines.
Excuse me, I just found it. Active Fuel Management. Now, is there an explanation of this system (AFM) somewhere on the forum that I can read about and know if I have that or not.??? Thanks for any help Y'all can provide. Rick
RivGuy posted a topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500Excuse my ignorance to this topic, but I am a new owner of a used 2005 Silverado Z71 with a 5.3L engine. I have been spending a lot of time on the forum just reading about stuff. The one thing I don't know is what the abbreviation of AFM means as related to the engine. Please help me as I read about these engines consuming more oil than is expected. I only have about 300 miles since buying the truck and having the oil changed to what the factory recommends. I figured with only 119,000 miles I shouldn't be worried about oil consumption but now I'm not so sure anymore. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick
6.0L Misfire and knocking around 2k Rpm
RivGuy replied to AH1988's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500Along with testing the fuel pressure, change the fuel filter with a new one. Inexpensive part, if your just going to throw some parts at the problem. Get a hose long enough to be able to tape the gauge to your windshield while you check the engines performance and read your fuel pressure while driving the short distance you just did in the video. If it fluctuates wildly then start with the filter and then check voltages at the pump at different RPM's with the truck up on a lift or jack stands in your driveway. You said it isn't posting a misfire at any cylinder, is that correct.? I've seen them not trigger a misfire and run perfectly with a bad wire, but not the other way around. Yours is certainly exhibiting what looks like a mis-fire in the video but it's hard to tell without being there.
Random oil pressure fluctuation
RivGuy replied to Jon Goyette's topic in 1999-2013 Silverado & Sierra 1500To fix it properly, that is not using a thickening additive in the oil, would be to replace the lifter(s). If it's possible to determine the lifter that is failing and giving you the interment ticking and the oil pressure drop you could cheap out and just replace that lifter. But the smart move is to replace them all, especially with the mileage you have on the engine. Lifters are inexpensive in the big picture and you'll get a lot more miles from the engine using the factory recommended oil after replacing them. Good luck.
I would remove it and bring it to a welder/fabricator and have him make one from solid bar stock. Will never rot away again and will be much sturdier than the hollow factory junk. It's very similar to some hollow sway bars on other GM vehicles that aren't worth the bolts that hold them on. If you should have a reputable fabricator/ welder in or near where you live that's what I would do. It will probably cost more than ordering the GM part, but will last forever. That's if you plan on keeping the truck for a while. But that's just me. Anytime I can make a part better than the factory without much trouble or money that's what I do. Good Luck with whatever path you take.
Bypass catalytic converter engine code?
RivGuy replied to Abrummel's topic in Gen III and IV Small Block & DrivetrainCan't you just weld 02 bungs in the pipes at the approximate locations of where the originals were and hook up new sensors. If the engine is running good it should pass emissions tests as well as the engine needing the info from the 02 sensors for the fuel injection system. Just realized my post may be too late. New to the forum and just getting my feet wet. didn't notice the date of the original OP's question.
2005 Silverado Z71 Frame Rot.
RivGuy replied to RivGuy's topic in 1988-1999 Chevrolet & GMC C/K GMT400 PlatformWhere in Texas are you.? I lived in San Antonio for 5+ years and road my motorcycle all over the state as time permitted. I did have a regular job for an airline but had a lot of time off after putting in a lot of time on the road away from home for them. Worked out great for me. Had to spend 10 months on the west coast for them so I arranged renting a furnished condo with a garage that was cheaper than the hotel. So after I got approval on that I had them ship my motorcycle out there and spent all my spare time riding in Oregon, Washington State and made a vacation trip down the Pacific coast highway to San Fransisco then turned inland to ride the mountain roads back to Portland Oregon (home base). I blabbered too much about the west coast when I was asking about your location in Texas. I loved it there and would probably still be in San Antonio if the company didn't shut down.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants interviewed Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase for their head coaching job, the fourth person considered for Tom Coughlin's former job.
Gase met with team president John Mara and general manager Jerry Reese at the team's headquarters on Friday, the Giants said. The 37-year-old Gase worked the past season with the Bears. He spent the prior six with the Denver Broncos, the final two as offensive coordinator.
The Giants interviewed current defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin on Thursday. Current offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo interviewed for the job on Tuesday, the day after Coughlin announced he was stepping down after 12 years at the helm.
Gase was named offensive coordinator by Denver head coach John Fox in 2013. In Gase's first season, the Broncos scored an NFL-record 606 points and advanced to the Super Bowl. The following year, they scored 482 points, the league's second-highest total.
When Fox took the Chicago job last season, Gase joined him as the Bears' offensive coordinator.

Ai Ai delas Alas has just resigned as Ex Battalion's manager.
In a report from GMA News program '24 Oras,' the comedienne revealed that the members of the rap group are unprofessional, which made her cry several times.
According to delas Alas, she was already planning to resign as the group's manager even before their movie, 'Sons of Nanay Sabel,' was shown.
She also revealed that the group had not been listening to her as a manager.
"30 years na 'ko in the business — 'yun 'yung parati kong sinasabi sa kanila na na-o-offend sila 'pag sinasabi ko 'yon," emotional Ai Ai said.
"Bakit ko sinasabi 'yon? Kasi alam ko na 'yung 'ins-and-out,' kung ano 'yung mali, kung ano 'yung tama.. kayo (Ex B) makikinig na lang kayo sa 'kin, hindi niyo pa ginagawa," she added.
Ai Ai, though she haven't talked to the group yet, said her decision won't ever change.
Ex B rose to fame in 2017 through their hit "Hayaan Mo Sila."

Hitting a Wall
August 10, 2011
With Nat Strand, 2012 Weekend for Women Conference Keynote Speaker
I attended the AADE Conference in Las Vegas, NV last week and I had the pleasure to hang out with many people from the DOC (Diabetes Online Community) such as Manny Hernandez, David Edelman, Tom Karlya, Scott Johnson, Miriam Tucker. I also met with many well-known people in the diabetes community such as Susan Weiner (dLife), Bill Polonsky (Behavioral Diabetes Institute), Kyrra Richards (myabetic), Nadia Al-Samarrie (Diabetes Health), Paula Ford-Martin (dLife), Kelly Rawlings (Diabetic Living magazine), Todd Siesky (Roche), Alana Clemens and Janie Rodriguez (Boehringer-Ingelheim)—all of whom are an absolute joy to be around. Probably the most exciting person of all that I met was Nat Strand, winner of the 2010 Amazing Race. She was half of the first female team to win the competition and the first person with diabetes to win! Her story is absolutely, positively AMAZING! I heard comments about how moving her talk was for days after it actually took place. If you have never heard her speak or met her, I encourage you to attend the 2012 Weekend for Women Conference, where Nat will be the keynote speaker!
I've talked about what a jam-packed week I had and I'm sure from the outside looking in it seems like pure fun. But, in reality it is extremely tiring and now that I'm back, it doesn't really seem to be getting any better. So, I'm close to hitting a wall. (not literally, but figuratively!) So, now I'm trying to figure out the best way to avoid crashing face first into it. My pastor spoke on this topic at church this past week and it really hit home with me. He talked about how he hit a wall about four years after he started our church in 2001. Day after day after day after week after month after year, he worked hard (often not taking any time off) in an effort to do God's work and reach as many unchurched people as possible in Central North Carolina. While he was working so hard doing God's work, his lack of rest starting chipping away at his soul. His message REALLY hit home with me because I am about four years into the founding of DiabetesSisters and I can't really say that I have taken an entire day (24 hours) off since it launched in January 2008. I get started on my work day between 7-8am doing everything from administrative tasks, to marketing, to program management, to fund raising, to operations management. I typically have numerous conference calls throughout the day—most which result in more things on my TO DO list. I typically work straight through until it is time to pick my daughter up at 5pm. I pick her up and get her dinner and while she is eating and watching television, I sit next to her on the couch and try to finish up some small work tasks on the computer or do some straightening around the house. After she has finished, we usually do something together like go for a walk, play softball, or play a game indoors. After she goes to bed around 8:30pm, I promptly sit down beside my husband on the couch and begin plugging away at my computer. I usually work until sometime between 11pm and 1am. Then it starts all over again. I have been rewarded greatly for my hard work through the success of the organization. And while the organization has grown tremendously and I am beyond proud of the great work we are doing, I have not been so kind to myself. (OK, I finally admitted it…on paper.) Of course, DiabetesSisters is in the midst of lots of exciting projects like the PODS Meetup expansion, the launch of the new SisterMatch program, and the launch of the Facing Diabetes Together Map- things that take a considerable amount of my time—so it is difficult to figure out where I can possibly block off some time for myself. It seems that my spare time is spent sleeping (and I could use a bit more of that too!) So, I just ask for any wisdom you have to share and/or prayers this week as I try to create a healthy balance in my life.

The Etiropean Sky- God. 327
Significant, too, are the relations between St. Columcille and the oak. He built a church in the oak-grove of Derry, ' and,' says Dr. Hyde,^ ' so careful was he of his beloved oaks that, contrary to all custom, he would not build his church with its chancel towards the east, for in that case some of the oaks would have had to be felled to make room for it. He laid strict injunctions upon all his successors to spare the lovely grove, and enjoined that if any of the trees should be blown down some of them should go for fuel to their own guest-house, and the rest be given to the people.' Years afterwards he penned a poem, in which he says :
' The reason I love Derry is for its quietness, for its purity, crowded full of heaven's angels in every leaf of the oaks of Derry. My Derry, my little oak grove, my dwelling and my little cell, O Eternal God in heaven above, woe be to him who violates it.'^
Besides Derry, two other famous monasteries were founded in Ireland by St. Columcille. One was Durrow, which like Derry drew its name from the beautiful oak-groves of the neighbourhood {Dair-magh, ' Oak-plain '). The other was Kells ; and here too the saint resided under a great oak-tree, which stood for centuries and ultimately fell in a tremendous storm. According to the Irish Life of St. Cohimcille, ' a certain man took somewhat of its bark to tan his shoes with. Now, when he did on the shoes, he was smitten with leprosy from his sole to his crown.' The same authority states that on one occasion St. Columcille made a hymn to arrest a fire that was consuming the oak-wood, ' and it is sung against every fire and against every thunder from that time to this.' ^ Again, the name Columcille, ' Dove of the Church,' was not inappropriate to a saint thus intimately connected with oak-groves : it recalls the doves on the oaks of Dodona and Libya* and Brittany.^ On one occasion,
^ Hyde Literary History of Ireland p. 169. "^ Id. ib. p. 170 n. i.
'^ Id. ib. p. 170 f. ^Folk-lore xv. 295. ^ Stcpra p. 7.
