    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...

    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?

    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...

    95C1500's Distant Canadian Truck Relative...

    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...

    Front End Noise

    Been a week full of problems... Have a rotational thud coming from my drivers side wheel that speeds up as I accelerate, and slows down as I decelerate but only makes noise while coasting. Seems to completely go away when I've got my foot on the gas. I thought it could be the wheel bearing, so...

    Oil pump issue?

    My oil pressure is reading surprisingly low, especially considering i changed my oil about two weeks ago. Hearing what I think is the valves fluttering a tiny bit on cold starts, but completely goes away after 30 seconds to a minute. There's no knocking or anything else, just the low pressure...

    Looking at putting coil springs from a 2500 in my C1500 to bring the front end up level with the back. Anybody know if this is possible without replacing the struts?

    Wheel Vibration

    I'm getting what seems like rotational vibration from my drivers side front wheel area. Its a lot worse when I have my foot off the gas or braking, moderately better when I've got my foot on. My first thought is a bad bearing, but anybody else have any other ideas as to what it could be?

    Header Sizing Help

    Found a set of long tubes on a local parts trade forum up here. Price is unbelievable, but says they came off an old carbed vette and should fit any sbc. Now my knowledge is limited, anybody know if these will fit a 97 vortec 350?

    Hypertech Programmer help

    Just found a guy selling a Hypertech Power Programmer III on Kijiji (our Canadian version of Craigslist). Said he'd let it go for $60 with the K&N intake I'm buying from him anyways. I have no prior experience or knowledge with programmers at all but from the homework that I have done price...

    Relatively new to posting on the forum, but here's the start to what will be the slow build of my '97 2WD. School takes a large toll on the wallet, never enough money for truck parts... Day I drove off the lot Add back rack and tool box 2" rear spacers, 32x11.5x15 BFG AT2s and...

    Long Tube vs Shorty

    I know this has been debated and brought up many different times, but I can't seem to find a straight forward answer. Looking to add headers to my '97 350. What are the different benefits of going long tube vs shorty? From what I've heard long tube are better for high RPM torque, shorty...

    Wheel Spacers...

    Just ordered new tires for my 97 ECSB 2WD, no time to lift it before squeezing the tires on so I'm in the market for a set of wheel spacers to give a little bit of extra space before lifting the truck. I know the bolt pattern is 5x5, just not entirely sure if I need hub centric or lug centric...
