    Feeling of slack in drivetrain

    Thank you so much for your replies! I'll try to answer questions as concisely as possible. Does the driveshaft have play? It does move around some, but not due to the u-joints as I can tell (it is a multi-piece driveshaft). I am going to try attaching a short video, but I'm almost certain I've...

    Feeling of slack in drivetrain

    Hello all, I don't know how better to describe this, but it's getting to be quite the annoyance. I pulled my '99 Corvette home 120mi, and while it was smooth sailing for the most part, I'm left pondering this issue - I'm hoping someone may have input that could lead me in the right direction...

    Intake Manifold upgrade

    Sorry to bother, where might I look for these upgraded stock mpfi injectors? My wife has been urging me to get a new truck, but I really like my truck (especially being paid off)...with car/truck prices today I think I'd rather spend a little money and upgrade what I have. If I could actually...

    Drum Brake Auto-adjusting Too Tight

    Thank you so much for your suggestion! Sounds like a real possibility (I recall asking the shop to replace both wheel cylinders and associated hardware while doing the job and I was told 'everything looked fine so we just did the drums and shoes'). I'll take it apart as soon as I have time...

    Drum Brake Auto-adjusting Too Tight

    2000 K2500 Crew Cab 5.7l 4l80e 3.73 14bolt SF w/13" drums in rear 244k mi original engine/transmission I have been struggling to figure out why this is happening; my left rear brake repeatedly self-adjusts to drag heavily (left rear wheel is consistently hot to touch). I've pulled the drum and...

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I can only find the fronts when I search under both k2500 pickup and suburban on both sites. I hate to ask, but could you provide a link? I even tried to filter on 1aauto and it only gives me the option of "front" window regulator. It may be bc I'm currently...

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    You guys are awesome!! Thank you for the information! I'm having a really hard time finding a window regulator for my passenger rear door...it's almost as if they don't make aftermarket - might have to visit a junkyard.

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    So the bracket is riveted in place? My rivets must've broken...it's just hanging off the door panel and gets in the way of the window when I try to roll it down. I guess I'll have to figure out how to get new rivets in there. Thank you for your response! One more question: the window regulator...

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    I didn't want to post a new thread for this little question someone might know offhand...recently had an issue where my driver window was getting hung up on the door lock actuator (I pulled back the door panel enough to hold the actuator until the window was rolled down, now I don't want to roll...

    Wobble/Vibration Under Acceleration Between 25-45mph

    I believe you have to remove the driveshaft to replace the carrier bearing. Sorry I cannot elaborate as I've never done it. Random question regarding U-Joints - is there a consensus on Moog vs. Spicer for our trucks? General Bing search is mixed as far as which are preferred. I was leaning...

    Repainting my entire truck (frame and body, pictures)

    I've owned my truck just shy of one year...it was just supposed to be a placeholder until I could afford a newer truck, but I've since fallen in love with its character. I think the gmt400 trucks are the best-looking trucks on the road. Your thread is inspiring! I currently don't feel like I...

    Wobble/Vibration Under Acceleration Between 25-45mph

    Hello all, I've noticed a vibration during acceleration that's been hard to explain...almost feels like I'm not getting full torque off the line because there is "slack" in the driveline. I described it to my uncle, and after wiggling the driveshaft around we've determined that it could be this...

    Ticking noise under acceleration/load

    Did you check the exhaust manifolds? My dad's 2003 1500hd 6.0 developed similar symptoms...replaced an exhaust manifold and the tick went away.

    K3500 drw front brakes on srw k3500?

    I've currently got 1-ton calipers squeezing the thinner 3/4-ton rotors...no issues here. I purchased the 1-ton rotors and hub/bearing assy's, but I was unable to get the 4 (8 total) hub/bearing bolts out to change to the larger rotors...that's on my to-do list. I've got the stock steelies, and...

    How to Replace Blower Motor Resistor

    Mine is doing the same thing intermittently. Last week I replaced the resistor and blower motor, but the fan speed still doesn't always work as it should. When I turn the other two knobs I can hear something happening (heat/cool and the blend-door moving), but the fan speed cuts in and out on...
