VOTE.. whos truck is broke, and whos is not

[Sy Guy 0024]

Drove mine for the first time yesterday after 5 months of repairs/mods. Couldn't build over 6psi w/o blowing the i/c hose off though(I've got the stocker just sitting in there temporarily until my a2a is done). Couple of seized calipers to replace, broken ECM wire, and electric fan wiring still to go. Hopefully I can start tuning this thing sometime this year :roll:

Just had to replace lower balljoints to pass inspection on the Syclone, and seems to run a bit choppy at idle (not sure if thats normal, just got the truck 2 weeks ago) Other than that, runs great as it should with only 36k miles on it.

 

[TurboManiacal]

Mine is in the same state it was a year ago when I bouht it

 

[phoonTy]

mine is fine. 118,xxx and counting more every day. just need the rest of my parts to show up for the "spring cleaning" and she'll be even better.

 

[ItsMyTy]

alive and kicking every day with 131,000mi on the odo

currently gathering parts to make it faster

 

[TURBO TY]

dead as a door nail. damn hyperutectic pistons! why gm put those in our motors is beyond me. i am in the process of selling one of my houses and building a 30'x40' garage with a lift. then the ty will get a new heart transplant :lol:

 

[lSyclonel]

well mark, if i work on mine then it brakes again. its called murphy law, so if i dont touch it, it will never brake again.



your rite m,ark we only have about 30 trucks on here..lots hiddddiiing

The wife hasn't driven my truck since the last tranny rebuild,so it's running/shifting great.

 

[syclone2365]

driving fine...but still some bugs to work out. 83xxx and still hurting the pride of v8's everwhere

 

[--SyTy Jim--]

Driven only 3000 miles in 3 years....purrrrrs like a kitten. Soooooper clean due to my religious cleaning and polishing. 8)


Best $$$$ I ever spent.

okok ill admit it, my tranny has seen better days, i dont understand, all ive done is thrown it off a trailer at 75mph? go figure?

 

[turboty]

I have am in the process of breaking in the new motor. No pun in breaking in the motor. I have put all of 150 miles on it in four years.

 

[Don W.]

In the garage, runs well. But it's also unmodified. A weekend warrior, so-to-speak.

It also satisfies my need to tinker. Sometimes by my choice, sometimes by its choice

I broke the pin that holds the accelerator pedal to the rod at the Nats.

See all you have to do to go 12's is hit the pedal REALLY hard

 

[cr133r]

Well, there are still some little things it needs... But you can take mine off the 'down' list. Tranny is in and its driving again... WooHoo

 

[sy#2716]

Mine is on stands has rod knock and the trans is slipping!!!!
But i think this is the best love hate relationship I know of , when it is running good i love her but when she breaks i hate her but that how it goes. sy#2716

after reading all that..... i should beat myself. The typhoon is excused, cause its still relatively new. The sy's crap has just been building up with no time to work on it...though, its going down very shorty for the trans overhaul and all the other junk listed that needs to be fixed.

my sy stays at my parents house, 100 miles from where i live.... me and rox daily the ty, so its getting some good mileage on it..... which is fine, cause thats what its made for. im lucky to drive the sy on weekends.....
