    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    From what I've been able to find, ring and pinion definitely need to be replaced. Was going to go for an overhaul kit as well to replace bearings etc. If I were to gear up from a 3.73 to a 3.90, is it just the ring/pinion to replace or would I need to do the spider gears too?

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    New to axle issues so any help here is appreciated. I have a '98 K1500 with the G80 and 3.73 gear ratio. Had a distinct whine from the rear end consistent with a diff bearing issue for a while, tried to limp it home from school and the whole rear end blew up on me about 2 miles from my house...

    EGR Code HELP

    Really appreciate that! My mechanic has a SnapOn scanner so I've got no doubt he'd be able to do it if I brought him the table. I'm going to start by resetting the code first and see if it comes back. Thanks again for your help!

    That would be great if you could. What's the best way to pass those along? Are you able to do it over the forum or should I PM you my email?

    EGR Code HELP

    I didn't see what the original code was when I took the truck in to have it checked, but my mechanic had said that it was an EGR - 1 code, so we replaced the EGR and less than 5 miles down the road the light came back on and now we ended up with the P1404 EGR - 2 code. Do you think resetting it...

    EGR Code HELP

    Figured out this code is from the EGR being stuck either open or closed. Anybody have any ideas as to what would cause this??

    EGR Code HELP

    Picked up my '98 Z71 last week and its been throwing a code for the EGR. Thinking the valve had gone bad, I replaced the valve and go figure it throws another code within 5 miles of replacing it. This time it was the P1404 EGR 2 code... I've done some research and everything I can find...

    Well I never got around to posting a sound clip, but the past little while has been a roller coaster for me north of the border... For starters: here's the sound clip: Just a quick video cause it was on snapchat but it sounds great regardless. Almost a month to the day after my exhaust got...

    True Duals for my 97

    Headers do have the egr tube, that's why I went with the pacesetters cause I didn't want to do additional fabbing to make them work. It's 2WD too so nothing to worry about there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    True Duals for my 97

    I've got pacesetter longtubes going on my 97 tomorrow but not 100% on what I'm going to have done with the rest of the system. Currently have a single super 10, was thinking about picking up another one and going true duals with two super 10's from the headers back. Will I need an H or X pipe...

    Replacing spider injectors...should I do intake too?

    Injectors are going bad on my 97, time to do the MPFI conversion. Here's what I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-217-3029-Original-Equipment-Injector/dp/B000NW8EU8/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1481561924&sr=1-1&keywords=217-3029 Due to my limited experience with repairs like...

    Headers help!!!

    Not necessarily worried about it, but non-vortec headers are usually significantly cheaper than ones with the EGR fitting for the vortec motors. Just wanted to see what it would take to use them. I've seen the thread on here before, just can't seem to find it.

    Headers help!!!

    Stock manifolds are leaking so rather than funneling money into fixing the leaks I'm buying a set of long tubes. These are the two that I have my eyes on: https://www.holley.com/products/exhaust/headers_and_exhaust_manifolds/long_tube/parts/2462HKR...

    Spider Injectors + Headers Questions

    Hey guys, been a little while since I've been on the forum. My 97 is showing signs that the spider injectors need replaced...misfiring, minimal power when accelerating etc. Put it in the facebook group today, most seem to be saying go with the delco MFI conversion, I've never dealt with...

    I had originally started another thread for this truck, with maybe one post in it. For all the updates I decided that it deserved a new one and slowly I thought the title became more and more appropriate. The day I drove it off the lot of a dealer in Mt. Pleasant, ON. First up came the...

    Thanks fellas! Had thoughts about a 6 lug conversion, just probably wont be any time soon. May start to collect the parts throughout the summer and make it a winter project. Not sure yet.
