Video: Put A 5 or 6 Speed Stick In Your GMT400 1988-1998 GM Truck NOW With An American Powertrain Kit

We know that the 1988-1998 GM truck market is set to explode pretty quick. In fact, we’re all watching it happen real time on the internet. The trucks that are kind cheap now are going to be climbing in value in a hurry so you need to get in on this. Solidly built, rugged, and easy to modify, the rigs have a lot going for them. One thing that’s crummy is that very, very few of them came with a clutch pedal and appropriate manual transmission goodness. American Powertrain has that fixed with their new kit for GMT400 1988-1998 GM trucks.

Instead of some bazillion mile four speed automatic, you can have a five or six speed stick in your rig that will make it more fun to drive, more fuel efficient, and far faster as well, even if you are sticking with a stock engine. As is the case in all of their well-engineered kits, the American Powertrain system is not just a transmission and a wish of good luck. Nope, this is the transmission, the hardware you need to mount it, a bell housing, clutch pedal, HydraMax throwout bearing, transmission mount, even the driveshaft is part of the program!

These guys do their homework, they refine their designs and they provide you a product that is going to fit and make your vehicle better to operate. That’s the bottom line and that’s why they are the largest mover and shaker of Tremec transmissions in the high performance aftermarket.

Whether you want a slick shifting five speed or a bomb proof six speed they have you covered. Big blocks, small blocks, they have your options ready. This is a great kit and a great nod to an emerging market in the world of hot rodding that’s catching fire quick.

Press play below to check out the American Powertrain kit for 88-98 GMs!

Tre5 Customs OBS Chevy Feature: Red On Red On Red On Red…

Image
This cool truck feature from Tre5 Customs is an OBS that just about everyone can relate to. Yes, the fit and finish is high level, the chassis is rad, and the LS swap is on point, but overall this truck is still identifiable as an OBS, with only one body modification! It still has door handles, features some sport mirrors, and other than a welded in roll pan out back doesn’t have any body mods. It’s just as the general intended, only smoother and prettier. Check out the details in the video below. As we’ve said before, the guys at Tre5 build some pretty cool trucks, and I always like watching their feature videos that come along when a project is ready to get delivered to the owner. These aren’t super sexy videos that make you ooh and aah over the truck but never actually tell you what is in it and under it, these are videos that really show you the cool stuff that went into these builds! We’re talking about the details and info that real enthusiasts want. And while these trucks are t

Check Out This 6×6 Engesa EE-25 Army Truck And It’s Freaky Boomerang Rear Suspension In Action

Image
Army trucks, we love them. Why? Well for the same reason we love functional hot rods that are lacking in amenities but are heavy in ass kicking ability. No matter the country of origin you are typically not going to find a lot of cushy stuff in an army truck, especially a large one. They are loaded full of ability, though and that’s exactly what caught our eye when it comes to this Brazilian 6×6 Engesa EE-25 and its awesome Boomerang rear axle. The truck uses a walking beam style layout but it can articulate in some incredible ways to keep the rears planted while the rest of the chassis rises to some pretty steel angles. Quoting a story on the rear suspension: The suspension of the EE-25 utilizes live axles and leaf springs, the rear suspension having a conspicuous “Engasa Boomerang” walking beam, a feature seen on several other Engesa 6-wheeled military vehicles. This suspension articulates, allowing the EE-25 to traverse large undulations with greatly increased traction, handling,

FAST LSXR INTAKE TEST-IS IT WORTH $1000? HOW MUCH HP DOES IT ADD? LSXR VS CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE

Image
One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr. Video Description: LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRA
