    Do you have to MASH your keyless entry remote buttons? READ THIS and fix them for good!

    Clickbait aside, If you're getting tired of your remote needing you to absolutely MASH the buttons in order to unlock/lock your truck (even after cleaning the traces, the carbon builds back up quickly), then this is a great solution for you (well, I guess besides tracking down another remote...

    96/97 Fuel pump replacement tutorial (with bed cut)

    This is a tutorial for replacing the fuel pump in a 1996 and 1997 GMT 400. I'm pulling out a Spectre (that I put in while stranded this week) and putting a new Delphi in (replaced under warranty!) First, I did the bed hatch cut per this thread by shelbyt.67 ...

    7.4 MPFI and external Fuel pressure regulators.

    Hey ya'll, So recently I've found, again, that my fuel pressure is low at idle. It's about 50psi KOEO, 48 KOER, and 45 when I rev it. This'll make the 4th FPR I've had to put in this truck in the past 3 years. I'm not interested in putting $50 in it every year for something as painstaking as...

    Extending the range of your truck's keyless entry, via the module.

    Hello gentlemen, A lot of us have gone through our fobs looking to gain an extra few feet of range to unlock the doors of our trucks. I did the mod myself to my fob, and found it barely did any good at all. So, for a couple of years I've been putting this off, but I got this done in about an...

    454 Vortec P0300 Multiple cylinder misfire code. Troubleshooting and solution.

    Hey guys. I'm all about trying to spread out info of my personal experiences on things, and trying to help the masses that may end up having a problem that I (or they) can't rely on the good ole' Google to help them solve. This left me scratching my head for a little over a month, and tied up...

    Heater control wiring diagram.

    Hey guys, I know the heater control units are more of a "universal unit" used in some other trucks and equipment other than just our trucks. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or some sort of technical manual for the heater control units? I would like to modify mine to NOT kick on the A/C when...

    Only larger front fender flares?

    Hey guys. I was filling up the tank the other day and had a thought about fender flares. My wheel/tire combo currently sticks out further on the front than rear: But it seems to me that the track width of the front and rear wheels is the same and the design of the body is what causes this...

    My 14bolt R&P is toasted. Need recommendations.

    Yesterday I finally got around to installing a B&M diff cover that's been sitting in my Garage for some time. When I dumped the oil it was a disgusting shade of chocolate brown, like most diffs that don't see a whole lot of inspections/maintenance. It also didn't look like a whole lot of oil...

    Heater core coolant strainer.

    I figured some of you guys may find this to be a decent solution to keeping your heater core free of debris if you've had dex cool in the past or just have scale buildup in your motor. Months ago I replaced my intake manifold gaskets. A month or so after that I satisfied that I had...

    NOT ANOTHER NOOB!!! (I've got questions too)

    Hey guys! I picked up a '97 2500 yesterday in good shape in northern NC. I figured I'd come here to start learning more about the truck and share what I do with the truck in the future. I've been tinkering with cars a good amount my whole life, but I'd like to learn a little more about what I'm...
