I heard a while back that dennis was getting a hot engine and I bet he installed it in the Avalanche. Once I changed the engine it was like a whole different truck.

Do they make wheelie bars for these?

I wasn't asking for you to tell, just looking for a few hints.

So far the hints are:

"same sh .28, lol. just a little something for it" - Makes me think its a bolt on and not a mod.

"its a very good and pretty easy to do." - Back to thinking its a modification: locking the diff, different gearing, simple porting ect.......hmmm

yeah, lol. to lock the center diff you just have to put silly puddy in the center spyder diff gears, the rear would be helpful too, but the mod is something else.

With the BL in the Pede, even on 6 cells, the wheely bar is mandatory.

Whoa... Dennis my man, something tells me you'd better beef up your inventory on those bad boys! I know you'll hear from me soon! Figure that would be good for when I have to do a rebuild in the future anyway...


PS. I'd love to see the dyno #'s on the stock vs the P3

Thats what I'm a bit confused about. What is the difference between this "P3 Mod" piston and sleeve and the normal P3 that comes with the Avalanche??

I dont see why it wouldnt work on the monsoon considering its pretty much the same as the avalanche but lighter.
