    98 C1500 5.0 TO 5.7 SWAP

    0411 is a newer ECM used in many GM vehicles that can be retrofitted into our trucks, I used one in my LS6 swapped '89 IROC-Z Camaro

    98 C1500 5.0 TO 5.7 SWAP

    I replaced the 5.0 in my '97 C1500 with a 5.7 from a '99 Escalade about 8 years ago direct swap and I never flashed the ECM cause the '97 black box isn't compatible with the flasher I have and I didn't change the exhaust, the 5.7 tune will be looking for a different o2 sensor layout due to dual...

    Magnaflow pirce gouging

    I know you guys said they might have switched vendors or you know materials due to covid-19 are definitely costing more but something's fishy here because eBay just emailed me the MagnaFlow tuner store their own eBay site that cancelled my order previously has relisted the item at the same price...

    Magnaflow pirce gouging

    Yeah it's 5.7 swapped but still running the single cat 5.0 exhaust and ECM and yes it's the same as the 4.3 but the CARB model has 4 o2 sensors, one for each bank, then one reads the blend right before the cat and of course one after the cat I tried to add a picture but I'm having difficulty and...

    Edelbrock Headers Question

    I'm sure you could make them work the driver side is obviously not going to connect directly to your stock exhaust and you're going to have to block off those air injection tubes I don't know the emissions regulations in your state but if you're not worried about using correct shorty headers why...

    Best Muffler/Setup for a ‘96 350

    I've always liked Flowmasters I thought they sounded good and like was stated earlier if you get the Delta flow it's a little bit quieter and they have a few different options 40 series 50 series and Delta flow models of each that are supposed to be a little quieter in the cab. I currently have...

    02 Sensor locations (4.3/5.0 vs 5.7)

    Lol I did the opposite 305 popped replaced with 350 still running 305 ECU and exhaust, seems like it runs fine and it passed two Commiefornia SMOG checks before the existing break in the catalytic screen got bad enough for the post cat O2 to throw a code. But back to the actual subject, you guys...

    Magnaflow pirce gouging

    My truck is throwing a code for the catalytic converter efficiency being too low so I need to replace it. I live in Commifornia so I need a CARB approved catalytic converter. I went online and I saw there's two options one from a company called Eastern Catalytic that had the crimped type of...

    SCI/MPI

    I did the "upgrade" a few years ago I also purchased the BWD which was the least expensive unit I could find after calling around all my local parts shops, I think BWD is Borg Warner which is an OEM supplier so quality should be fine. When I pulled my old spider the #8 injector had already been...

    Another seafoam question

    Usually a bad injector will cause it to throw a misfire code P 300 or 30x depending on which cylinder it is at least my 97 did, they recommend changing the whole spider cuz if one went bad they're all going to be in about the same condition but you can replace them individually if price is a...

    The real differences in 700r4/4l60/4l60e transmissions by year

    Have you done the swap? Did you figure out the ground wire situation? I had pretty much the same situation just a little newer, I have a '97 C1500 5L Vortec with one piece 4l60e, I swapped in a '99 two piece 4l60e but I failed to add the ground wire cause other sources said it was a direct swap...

    The real differences in 700r4/4l60/4l60e transmissions by year

    Does anyone have a write-up or link or good info on how to add the ground to the harness of a '97 one piece 4l60e truck, when swapping in a two piece 4l60e? As I failed to do it and now I have two bad 4l60e trans.

    Can I use a LS NV4500?

    Most of the info I've found says you can, but it didn't work out so well for my '97 C1500 because I failed to add the ground wire to the harness, which is the main thing you'll need to do to make it work, you don't have to do anything about the inspection plate, and the only other thing you need...

    Vortec engine question

    TPI cost more than truck induction systems, I had a T/A with TPI I was highly considering putting Vortec heads and the Scoggin Dicky intake on but Commiefornia doesn't approve, so I never did, but the Vortecs were supposed to be about a 40hp upgrade for a TPI engine from what I gathered.

    97 chevy 5.0 vortec swap with 98 gmc suburban 5.7

    I'm running it on the original 5.0 L computer because the 5.7 L computer will be looking for one more O2 sensor
