    Rebuilt 350 TBI knock at low idle

    I have 194,000 on my 5.7 in a 96' Ext. Cab and it does the (5 knocks ) at cold start up. Kinda strange but I've talked to a lot of different Chevy Truck guys and they said it happens a lot and not to worry. So.... I don't worry.

    Thanks . I really appreciate the info. Sorry about the late reply. I've been under the weather for last few days and couldn't get back to the forum page. I'll definitely check out the caps at Summit. Again, thanks for all your help.

    Getting the Wrong Main Bearing Caps

    Ok. I'll try to make this as short as I can. I bought what I thought was a used 350 cu in. short block from a guy on Craigslist. standard bore. When I picked it up the short block was clean, no pistons, no cam, bearings, etc. The mains were in a separate box. So after I dropped it off to the...

    2-3 shift slip, 4l60e, does Corvette servo help?

    I have a 96' c1500 ext. cab. I had the same problem as you. Its not long before the tranny gets worse. I also thought about the 4l80 swap, but along with the computer pin adjustment and the driveshaft rework it became a real headache. From everything I had read and all the videos i had watched...

    Turbo Charging Cali Truck

    I just put a 5.3 out of a 2005 Suburban into my 90' C 1500 pick-up truck. I was wondering if I was to turbo charge it, would the turbo cause me any problems at the smog station. We have to get a smog check every 2 yrs. Its a daily driver and I was just wondering if it was worth looking into or...

    700R4 to 4L80E

    Thanks Big Kid. I left Speartech a message because I didn't see the harness I was looking for. I have the ECM and the complete harness that came with the Corvette. If the Corvette didn"t come with the 4L80E...what trans did it come with? 4L60E? If all I have to do is to re-pin at the ECM so the...

    700R4 to 4L80E

    Im doing a swap. I have a 90' Chevy truck with the 5.7 that came from the factory with the 700R4. I got a good deal on a 2001 5.7 LS1 out of a Corvette. I couldn't use the trans out of the Corvette so I want to bolt up a 4l80E in place of the 700R4. My question is... Does it matter what year or...

    2001 Corvette rear end swap

    I found a great deal on a 2001 Corvette rear end. I want to put it into my 1990 Silverado. The problem I have is that the rear ends in 2001 Corvettes are attached to the transmission. Almost looks like transfer-case bolt up. The guy I'm buying it from says that he's heard of it being done to...
