    Are my disc brakes dragging?

    I one day noticed how HOT the lug nuts and rims on my 1999 "classic' C1500 Silverado were getting after driving normally on the highway for a very short amount of time (roughly an hour) I can barely even hold my hand on a lug nut or the surrounding rim after driving the truck for 15-20 minutes...

    HVAC actuator?

    Anyone have similar issue here, my 1996 Chevy Silverado C1500 HVAC is not working as it should be. It blows hot & cold, blend doors will work to feet and defrost setting, but when I move it to feet/head or just head no air gets out of any of the vents on the dash. It only comes out from bottom...

    Remote start issues

    So I just discovered a huge mess of wires underneath my dash and soon enough I found a couple of hidden switches as well. Turns out one switch will essentially remote start my truck when I flip it to the right position. Trouble is the truck never came with any key fobs...what can I do? Any...

    I want to purchase some new rims (Cragar Soft 8 series) to "hopefully" put onto my 1999 Chevy Silverado "Classic" C1500 truck. Just picked it up and I was thinking of going black rally-ish wheels for it. I found these and just would like to ask a couple questions to the experienced rim/tire...

    Underseat jack box removal?

    How does one remove the box with the jack and other tools which is under the backseat? I took one bolt out but I cant tell if the long bolt that allows for tightening of the entire box together comes out from the inside (if so, how exactly, wrenches dont wanna fit in that tight spot?) or if you...

    What size is gmt-400 speakers?

    I have a 1996 Chevy Silverado C1500 ext.cab 3rd door, and I found a pair of Kicker 6x9 speakers locally and I can get em for $40. This seems like a pretty good deal to me, but I am not sure if they'd fit my front OR back speakers. I only have the dash 2 speakers in the front and the 2 rear...

    What do you guys think for this 2wd?

    I have been looking around for a 2wd chevy/gmc to work on and make a street truck. I live in Canada so rust is always a factor up here, but I stumbled across a fairly decent looking '97 gmc Sierra SLE, ext. cab with 3rd door. It's all original white paint and 146,xxx KM on the original 350...

    Wiring harness

    I have been browsing some forums lately and saw a HD Wireless Harness that allows the use of relays to brighten up your low and high beam headlights. Basically it uses higher gauge wires and goes straight from then battery to give your lights the full power. My low beams are absolutely...

    Fender rockguard

    Hey guys I am going to spray some cheap cheap rattle can rockguard over my rusted out fenders, and I am just wondering if there is any type of tricks to get a really smooth line?

    Overheating Issue

    Recently got an overheating issue where my temp gauge went all way into the red, and my check gauges light came on. Luckily I had some water on hand so I pulled over and dumped a liter into my engine coolant reservoir. I am quite sure that my engine coolant is leaking out and evaporating as I...

    VERY old decal stains

    I removed the old man decals off my beater '96 but they left behind their imprints since the sun must have faded all the paint around them. It is absolutely not glue residue because I went through 2 Eraser Wheels and a bunch of Goo Gone and WD40 to remove it. I am wondering if there is any...

    Oil leakage

    I seem to have sprung an oil leak when I had my truck up on ramps to get the running boards off. I put the ramps on one side at a time so the old girl was 'flexxin' a little more than she's probably done in along time. Now there is oil leaking down the control arms by the looks of it and onto...

    Faded paint help?

    So I decided to start removing the decals that are all over my '96, and I am using the wheel eraser that I picked up from a local auto store. Not the 3M, and it is actually a lot slower than i thought it would be. Seems like it doesn't catch very well. Anyways, once I got some of it off I...
