    1997 K1500 Worth throwing $ into...?

    I have much less experience with engines than I do the rest of a vehicle, that’s my big hold up on changing. Since the conventional is working I’m likely gonna just keep running conventional. Changed front/rear diff fluid and transfer case fluid over the weekend. Keeping her and time for...

    1997 K1500 Worth throwing $ into...?

    I'm nervous to switch from conventional... that's another topic tho I suppose. I will for sure replace that oil filter housing gasket. I've been toying around with whether or not I should replace the actual housing... doesn't seem necessary tho.

    1997 K1500 Worth throwing $ into...?

    Thank you all! Seems simple to me now, and I feel much better about keeping my truck and fixing her up. And no car payment is really great, so Im gonna stick with what I've got. Save money for a new engine when needed, easy to do without a payment. I didn't think of the insurance increase with...

    Heater Hose Quick Disconnect to Barbed Fitting and Hose Clamp Swap/Fix

    FYI I ended up replacing with the OEM quick connect part. Worked great. As you will see in other posts in this forum the OEM part is heavily restricted, flow is highly restricted compared to a brass barbed fitting. I would recommend not using the barb fitting. I know there are guys having...

    Strater

    Thank you. Yea like I said it's starting honestly better than it ever has right now after I put that gear reduction starter in. Battery is brand new etc. it has no issues at the moment. Sounds like I should replace the mounting bolts with the correct ones and I'll be good. Sent from my iPhone...

    Strater

    So you're saying there is likely some play between the bolts I used and the bolt holes in the starter, I could see that. These below yes? If so im gonna pick them up and swap them out, last thing I want is another problem or an issue with the block or whatever due to some cheap bolts I should...

    Strater

    It was cranking very slow, brand new batter two weeks ago. Alternator good. I got it running now tho. I believe it was the cap and rotor. But i did all the plugs, cap/rotor, and starter relay at the same time, so it could have been any of that. But I think cap/rotor. Sometimes I forget to do the...

    Strater

    Question: Need a new starter, got one from napa, pulled the old one and its bigger aka direct drive, and the new part is smaller gear reduction. I put the new gear reduction in anyways. Bolts lined up, dimensions all checked out, i didn't need different length bolts they were perfect. Still not...

    Heater Hose Quick Disconnect to Barbed Fitting and Hose Clamp Swap/Fix

    Any reason you used the multiple barbed fitting vs the straight barb fitting like this one: https://www.zoro.com/zoro-select-hose-barb-34-in-barb-12-in-mnpt-brass-6afj1/i/G1413142/
