    cranks but wont start.

    Hello all, previously my truck was starting to shut off randomly. This morning I woke up to go to work and it wont even start. It cranks but doesnt turn over. The last thing I did was disconnect the battery terminals, and retighten them. I am fairly certain it is an electric issue...

    Truck shuts off randomly

    I disconnected the battery terminal, the two rings surrounded by red plastic. I saw no acid, just metal to metal contact. do i have to cut the plastic off to get to the potential corrosion? it did seem a bit loose, i could hear it connecting and disconnecting, after barely any bolt loosening.

    Truck shuts off randomly

    thank you guys for your detailed responses. I will check out the battery cables. I also found a damaged ground to the firewall. Since disconnecting the aftermarket lights I have not had the issue, but it will probably happen again... i will post back with updates, thank you guys.

    Truck shuts off randomly

    also, it goes from open to closed loop. however, one of my CAT sensors has a bad heater. I got a code for it. No way the sensors are coming out though, I tried my best.

    Truck shuts off randomly

    Hello all... My car is shutting off randomly as if I turned the ignition off while driving or idling. Long trips are fine, but it shuts off randomly sometimes in the first 5 minutes of driving as if i took the key out. at first I thought it might be a fuel pump issue but am now starting to...

    fuel pressure reading.

    Hello all, I am trying to determine whether my fuel pump is bad. 1997 k1500 5.7. I am not sure how to read the fuel pressure gauge. I have read that my pressure should be 60-66. Here is a video. Thanks for any info.

    does this fuel pump sound like its going out? 1997 k1500

    My truck has been shutting off when in park idling, or coming to a stop. I am guessing its the fuel pump. Is it supposed to sound like this? I ordered a new one and I am hoping the pump is the culprit, and not something unknown. Thanks for anyones opinions or advice on this!

    5.7 vortec engine sound. is this normal?

    oil pressure at cold idle is around 40-45, warm idle is around 20. cruising warm is around 40-45. assuming my oil pressure gauge is accurate.

    5.7 vortec engine sound. is this normal?

    i usually use mobile 1 5w 30 synthetic. I use a fram 10k interval filter. intervals are about every 2.5k. I just worry because it never fully goes away. hopefully it doesnt get worse. i dont have a trained ear but to me it sounds more knocky or lower pitched. I never noticed the noise until...
