    NV3500 Noise at high RPM

    Hey guys, I recently finished up my 5.3 swap. When I did the swap I also put in a rebuilt NV3500 due to a bad input bearing in my old one. Everything in the swap works right, trans shifts well, my only issue is that when I get to higher RPM it makes a ringing noise. Sounds like an old telephone...

    95 5.3 Swap wiring questions

    Hey guys, I know this is a subject that's been beaten to death but every swap in so different. I've searched and searched for answers. Anyways, over the weekend I got my old motor out and the new one in. I have everything on the motor wired and it runs very well. The only thing I need help on...

    Good Source for NV3500s

    Hey guys, I am going to be needing a new/rebuilt transmission and was wondering if anyone had any input as to where to get a new unit. I just had the transmission out this past weekend to replace the input bearing as I thought that was the cause of my problems, however upon removal I found the...

    I will be using Dirty Dingo plates and it will mount in the same spot as my current motor as to not need to modify the rest of my drive train

    Oil Pan Question

    Hey guy, quick question for those of you that have done LS swaps. I am going to be doing a 5.3 swap in my pickup and though I know the truck oil pan will fit I have a different question. I am using a motor I had for another project that already has a CTS-v oil pan on it. I was just wondering if...

    TBI Crate Engine Questions

    Thanks for all the info guys. I was figuring I would have to worry about chips and what not. I think it's going to be smarter for me to buy a 5.3, cam it, and run with it. I appreciate the help

    TBI Crate Engine Questions

    I would have mine rebuilt, or even rebuild it myself but it's my only vehicle so I don't have time for the motor to be out getting machined and rebuilt and that whole whole ordeal. When looking at the cost to power ratio I may just look into doing a 5.3 swap. I have a 60 Bel Air that I swapped...

    TBI Crate Engine Questions

    Hey guys, I am looking at buying a crate engine for my pickup. I currently have 220k on my engine and its starting to get tired. It is my daily so I am leaning towards a crate engine for the sake of time. I am looking at this one from Five Star Engines, first off just wondering if anyone...

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    That's what I would guess too.. the filter was really bad. I've only had the pickup a year and I kept meaning to change it, it just skipped my mind every time I was at the store getting other maintenance stuff. However, I'm not sure if the fuel pump has ever been changed and it has 217k miles so...

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    Dealership concluded that is was the fuel pump, was only pumping 5psi. I guess I've never heard of a fuel pump doing that, I figured it would either pump or it wouldn't pump. Also I was too caught up thinking it was because of something I did while rebuilding the TBI. Glad its fixed, thanks...

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    I replaced the fuel filter which was definitely passed due, however, it wasn't the problem. It could be my pump but I don't have a gauge to check it. I drove it again last night after replacing the fuel filter and there was no change, although my SES light didn't come on after driving it for...

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    Replaced the fuel pressure regulator today still no change. It only happens under loan, if it's in neutral and I rev it, it runs just fine. But when I start to let the clutch out and give it some gas it wants to cut out.

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    Nope, wires looks good, I just went out and pulled the air cleaner off and the riser and started it to watch the injectors and they both look like they are spraying well

    Modified and Rebuilt TBI now won't run

    Hey guys, I need some help.. This past Saturday I did the ultimate mods and put all new gaskets in my TBI. Put it all back together and it started up and ran fine. Started it on Sunday and drove it around town, no problems. Monday morning I got to start my truck and it has a terribly rough...

    TBI Engine Question

    So far, it is still mechanically sound but it has 217k on it. It's worn out! And the reason I am not considering just rebuilding mine is because it's my daily and the only reliable vehicle I have on hand right now, so I can't have it out of commission while my motor is being built. And if I...

    TBI Engine Question

    Hey guys, this may have been asked somewhere but I'm not sure what to search for to find it, but here's my question. I have a 95 GMC with the 5.7 TBI. I am looking at doing a motor swap to gain more power. I am leaning back and forth between a 5.3 or a built TBI motor. I know I can find a junk...

    NV3500 Clutch Noise

    Interested to see what you find. Noise is more frequent today then it has been and louder. Still only when starting out in first. Now that it's louder it sound like more of a grinding noise than chatter. I can still shift fine, that doesn't seem to have changed. And it doesn't grind when...

    NV3500 Clutch Noise

    I was thinking it was probably the throwout bearing but since it'll only do it in first when letting the clutch out and no other time I wasn't really sure. How long do you think I can get by before having to change it. I dont want to buy a new clutch because when I swap to a 5.3 I imagine I'm...

    Grille Lightbar

    They don't come at a very "compact" price though, haha. I think I may just order a cheap one off of Amazon, see how it fits and cut it if I need! I was just wondering if anyone had done it, not thinking that mine was a manual and autos were different!

    Grille Lightbar

    Aww, mine's a 5-speed so it looks like I would have more room down there. I just want to avoid cutting fins if I could, or at least as few as possible.

    Grille Lightbar

    Has anyone tried putting it in the bottom part of the grille? Move the horn up? Would there be less to cut since the hood release isn't there?
