    5.7 from 99 GMC Yukon having heat issues

    Ok so hear is my flood of information. I transplanted a 99 GMC Yukon 5.7 of mine into my 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ. I had the engine rebuilt while it was out but no performance changes made. Here is the current configuration. AC condenser is in front of radiator Then a 4 core radiator with left side...

    My 99 vortec 5.7 STINKS, has a subtle miss but no Codes or CEL

    Hey all, like the title says, I have a strange scenario with my 99 Vortec 5.7 It has become really stinky where it started with a gas/rich smell and is now a whole new kind of stank. I noticed that within a week or two of the smell beginning, my oil level went up some and smells like gas. Since...

    Should the fuel lines going into the intake manifold wiggle?

    I am trying to fix a problem I was having with my old headers on my 99 5.7 but when I was installing the new driver side header I bumped those fuel lines and they wiggled. It seems like this plate is forcing them down so they don't come out but it seemed strange for them to not have a solid...

    Woosh or pressure purge/release sound under load or deceleration only

    So I took the engine out of my 99 Yukon, rebuilt it, and had it swapped into my 97 Jeep Wrangler. Unfortunately the shop that worked on it is 450 miles away from where I live now so they have been helping remotely as much as they can but obviously that's difficult. 600 miles in and I started...

    Door locks stopped working using button but key fob still works

    So I have a strange problem that happened all of a sudden on my 99 4dr Yukon where the driver and passenger side door lock buttons do absolutely nothing but the key fob still locks all of the doors. I tried Google searching the forum and didn't find this same problem so my apologies if there is...

    My problem is my steering has zero play or slop, it's sticky

    So I have had this problem that seems to have gotten a little worse where my steering is too tight meaning that when I let go of the wheel it does not return to center. I can be going around a curve and let go and the steering stays in the same place where it normally should jerk back to center...

    Project: Convert an ATC 125 into a 2 wheeler

    So I have been thinking about this for a while and I think I might buy an old 3 wheeler and make a swingarm for a single rear tire making it kind of like the old yamaha bw or Honda fat cats. I'm interested to know if anyone has ever ridden such a creature. The 3 wheelers I generally see in my...

    Help with climate control issues!

    Here is what has happened the past couple days. My ac was leaking a bit at the pressure port and I had that fixed and charged. It blew a fair amount cooler than before. Last night I noticed that the recirculation light and ac light were flashing together on and off and also when I turned the...

    AC should not make a 454 feel gutless without getting on it

    This is kind of a rant but who knows, maybe my truck has a problem. Since it has gotten hot and I'm using my AC it is shocking how gutless it makes the truck under normal throttle. I have a tuned 454 with 4.10 gears and I probably have to apply 20 percent throttle or more to get the same level...

    Pics of single din flip up touch screen stereos

    I was hoping to find some folks on here that have installed a single din touch screen stereo in the 96+ style dash. I'm interested to know whether a flip down screen works better than a flip up. It seems as the the screen will not be able to get vertical without running into the overhang above...

    Thinking about buying a local used Whipple for my vortec 7.4

    Locally a guy has listed a lightly used, meaning used for a short time, Whipple supercharger kit that he says is a "rare 2.3l version" which I have no clue about. He wants 2k for the kit which seems a little steep considering its used and will need some on the fly fab work for little things here...

    Do the black flowmasters stink at first?

    I just put on a super 44 yesterday that came painted black. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not but after I installed it and I drive around and get out it stinks kind of like a burning smell, a hint of burning rubber. Do those mufflers stink for a little while as they are exposed to the...

    99 Yukon 4l60e 1-2 2-3 Shift Lurching only when cold

    My wife told me yesterday as she left the house that when her car would shift from 1-2 or 2-3 it lurch and gave the description that it felt like a manual car being shifted a bit too low in rpm and lugging it where it does that kind of jerking motion. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it...

    Installing Offroad Designs shackle flip questions

    I'm strongly considering buying the shackle flip kit from offroad designs to get rid of my 4 inch blocks and try to tame the ride of my 3500. For anyone that has experience with these, what was the install like and how long did it take? I don't have an air chisel which I know they suggest but I...

    Brand new Delphi FG0089 fuel pump $100 + shipping

    I purchased this fuel pump but needed one sooner than it arrived and had to buy one locally. This is the best fuel pump for vortec 350s. Check to make sure it will fit your application. Still in the unopened box

    Tan tool tray from behind rear seat on 96 crew cab. $5 bucks plus shipping

    I have the long tool tray from behind the rear seat of my 96 k3500 crew cab that is collecting dust. How does 5 bucks plus shipping sound? I get discounted shipping through work so it might be pretty reasonable.

    Brand new Delphi FG0089 5.7 vortec fuel pump 120?

    I bought this when my wife's Yukon suddenly had the pump die and was going to fix it myself after having it towed home but my arthritis has flared up badly and I ended up having it towed to a shop. Unfortunately they needed the pump before this one had arrived and I had to pay 200 for one...

    Used vortec 454 fuel rail. $15 plus shipping obo

    A while back I replaced my fuel rail in a rage driven shotgun style repair where I couldn't figure out a problem with my fuel pressure so I just bought new of everything. Obviously that wasn't necessary and it was just a new injector in the set that was defective so the fuel rail is fine. It...

    I want to build a carputer using a raspberry pi and a touch screen

    I installed a backup camera last week and used a monitor that is built into a rear view mirror and quickly realized that the screen was too small for my liking and when the screen was off the mirror made cars look like they were riding me and there was no perspective. I started looking into a...

    Post face-lift and/or pre face-lift black housing clear corners for Chevy grill

    I have a set of post face-lift corners for a Chevy grill and a set of pre face-lift ones too. Both sets have never been installed. They have black housings and the lenses are clear. I guess these do not fit a gmc grill. I did clear coat and silicon around the edges. To be honest, when I ordered...

    Chilton or Haynes manual?

    I have a 96 GMC K3500 CCLB with a 7.4 and my wife has an obs 99 Yukon with a 5.7 and it seems like the Chilton and Haynes manual cover both but having never owned any manual I don't know which is better coverage or some pros and cons. I can't find any locally to kind of preview so it would just...

    Measurements for gmc hub caps

    I was thinking about trying to fit our gmc hub caps on my aftermarket wheels but I don't have access to look at one in person so I was hoping I could get some good dimensions to see if it is even worthwhile or possible. I'm looking to get the outer diameter of the bottom, the distance from the...

    How do you like my brake controller mount

    I had my brake controller under the dash and I kept hitting it with my knee so I decided to mount it where my cd player was using some plastic that matched the interior. I created a linkage to pull the manual lever and put one of our stereo knob covers on the linkage bolt. It took a while to...
