Running into misfire hell on my 1997 C1500 with a 5.0. Truck sat up from running just fine when I last ran her in December, but started and let her warm up every day just fine. Nothing but Random Misfire. Changed rotor, cap, wires, and all new plugs. Distributor was changed last October...
Pulled the pan off today and the harness looked like it got wacked by something with only three wires left intact. Put a rostra harness in and changed fluid and filter and **** she rolls.
None of the wires to the tranny are pinched and the connecter is pushed all the way in, but I'm getting damn near every single code under the sun. Plus P1860.
One of the odder things messing with a distributor I've noticed that if I have if I have it set on #1 a tooth counter clockwise my truck gets hella more power and mileage but dreaded check engine light from the P1345. Set it back forward to the right tooth for the light to go out but I'm like...
Haven't really seen much of anyone at all post the newer C tail lights, just the old ones. I've seen these on Protuninglab and VHauto for a couple months, and finally ordered a set and put them on. They're pretty kickass.

I've had my fair share of distributor fun ngl. On 0°, it will run average ofc, but I set it a tooth behind and have it set close to #1 the ******* runs like a crackhead on bud ice even though it's out of time
Fixing to do a 6 lug conversion on my 97, and I've been stuck on getting trail boss rims, but I'm curious to see if anyone have the new LTZ rims on their trucks to see how it looks? Second pic is mine.
Doing my first engine rebuild on a 1997 C1500. It has factory gaskets and was never maintained right, and the block serial number goes as a 350 vortec, while the piston in it reads to a 305. Had a broken connecting rod and was going to change it out simply since it didn't scar the block at all...
Lose connection below the steering wheel where all the wires lead up to the ignition. It kinda lead me to it by seeing other people having similar issues and saying to check the connection right there, and I figured with how much I do extra unnecessary crap taking me dash out every week I bumped...
I really have mixed feelings, I love the chicken lights on this thing, but I know eventually I'm either going to the mesh insert on the grille I have now, or swap to a 88-93 grille
