    Frame interchange question

    GM # 15727845 K1500/2500 RCLB no longer available....except GM parts Giant priced it out at $674 with limited availability, where as the other 20 web sites just stated "no Longer available". So I sent a request for availability....we'll see what happens.

    Frame interchange question

    I made a feeble attempt when it first happened, that is, at getting a new GM frame. I was told that they were no longer available, but I suppose now that I have the actual GM part number from the estimates I could try it again. Maybe a dealership has one from a scuttled job, or worse.... VPI has...

    Frame interchange question

    I understand that sentiment, and I considered it. But I cherry picked this truck back in '07 and since it's been customized to meet my appearance and towing needs including a 383 vortec upgrade and 0411 PCM swap. I've sourced and bought a Texas 8' bed and tailgate ,new bumper, class IV hitch...

    Frame interchange question

    So I got rear ended pretty hard just left of center in my '97 K2500 reg cab long bed. Frame got folded up pretty good up to the rear axle. It's a northern truck so pulling it may be a waste of time and money so I'd like to piece in a rear section just behind the front spring perch. What...

    WTF happened to my gas gauge??

    So I rarely fill my tank full, mostly it's at a half a tank. Hey, it's a 34 gallon tank and...well. So since I just put in a 383 with a small cam, running off a 0411 PCM swap I thought I'd check my gas mileage. My gauges have always been accurate and no bouncy needles or anything when after...

    E-Mail notifications.

    I have the same problem too...I have my notification preferences set up correctly, I double and triple checked them and it still takes 5-7 days. And when it happens it happens all at once.

    tired 350 to new 383 swap questions.

    Thanks for the reply, and yes, I forgot to mention Im going to have the heads machined to accept better valve springs and to avoid retainer to seal interference. A differnt head is an option but not one Im prepared to invest in for an over babied tow vehicle. I just wish I could find a...

    tired 350 to new 383 swap questions.

    Hello all, I'm new here so go easy as I have fragile ego... So I've done some searching here and around the interweb and haven't gotten a defintite answer, no one in my area has an answer either because it hasn't been done locally. I have a '97 GMC 3/4 4WD w 4L80e, the original engine has...
