    99 suburban rear right barn door glass

    Anyone know of a good source for the *right/passenger* barn door glass? I need a tinted/defrost window. The market seems to be flooded with left glass, but no right. Even Amazon appears to only sell left glass...... Maybe we ran out of right-sided sand to make right-side windows????

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Just to circle back; the reman head is on and the truck runs perfect. Moral: always do a compression check to diagnose a miss. Even if the fuel pressure guage says low; it could be lying to you. Mine was. Thanks for all the help!

    Rocker adjustment

    Thanks guys! I just replaced a single head with a bent ex valve, so everything else is stock and still installed. I adjusted cyl 1 and left it untill I figured out what to do. So I will measure it again now that it has sat overnight.

    Rocker adjustment

    There are a million examples of this, but I still have a question about it. :-) My lifters are already pressurized; there is no spring to them. I adjusted to zero-lash, + 1/2 turn. But I measured the valve height with a caliper before/after and the valve drops right at .025". This means I have...

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    Where's a good place to buy a stock replacement head? Summit has a reman from Vege(?) which I believe is ATK who has a horrific reputation online.

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Bought a noid light and the ECU is pulsing both injectors. Bought another Delco MPFI and pulled the old one today. I learned you can pulse the injector on an MPFI unit by applying 5v to the injector pins. I tested it today on my old unit. I found a Multec document online that appears to...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Completely clean.Shiny. Smelled faintly of fuel. Plug tests fine off the vehicle. Inline tester flashes regularly when it runs. Part of my fuel leakdown was due to a low battery. My needles started flapping and the cluster finally went dark. The battery wouldn't hold a charge at all, even with...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Nope wires are correct. Some interesting developments: Pulled plug 5; it's black as sin. Almost a light fuzz. But there is a tiny clean spot in the center of the electrode. Like a spark has been popping right there. Pulled cyl 1 plug(replaced at the same time) and it just looks like a used...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Thanks for the manual pages! I thought I had pretty much narrowed it down to the regulator. I replaced it; same problem. Since I still believed(pressure around 55psi at idle) I had a pressure problem, I warrantied the 1yo pump. New Delphi pump and it's still doing the same problem. So I...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    Sorry, wrong term. The fuel pump is running continuously and is being regulated at 62lbs. If I just key-on, it only runs for 2s then shuts off and drops to 55lbs. I've read about 1000 posts and this seems to be expected behavior? 62lbs seems to be acceptable to fuel the engine. At least, it...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    So I got back in town from a work trip. I found out how to jump the fuel pump relay to test the WOT fuel pressure without driving down the road with the gauge poking out the hood cowl and my head at 90 degrees. It's 62lbs continuous. A fuel leakdown test shows that it takes about 30 minutest to...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    I used a Blue Driver. I got a cyl 5 misfire a few months ago and replaced the cap/rotor. The misfire went away. I should also add that I put wires and Delco plugs in about a year ago whenI found that one of the wires was arcing against the manifold shield. I just wanted to see if there was...

    99 C1500 Suburban P0300

    My suburban is throwing the P0300 and sounds like it's running on about 4cyl. I have already replaced the fuel pump with a new Delco unit about 1.5 years ago. About 2 years ago I did the MPFI upgrade with a new Delco unit. I just replaced the fuel filter today. Pressure starts at about 52, then...

    OBS to NBS Master Cylinder Upgrade REPORT

    Sorry, it's just that I'm an idiot. :-) I actually ordered the the brass conversion fitting with the m/c. But the two line fittings looked the exact same(My eyes aren't what they used to be). I was just looking at the size of the line. This thread explains it...
