    PO175 and gas smell

    For quite a while, it's been throwing an 0175 code: system too rich bank 2. I tried messing with the 02 sensors, and I got the downstream right bank done, but the upstream is basically welded in; impossible to remove without taking the whole exhaust off, and putting it in a vise. I tried...

    brake problem

    I had a rear hard brake line rot out and leak all the fluid out of the rear end reservoir. I replaced the line, filled, and bled the rears with my motive power bleeder. I got air bubbles out of the left rear, but didn't notice any out of the right. The fronts were thoroughly bled before...

    Flowmaster super 10?

    im thinking of getting a flowmaster super 10 for my truck; 96 454 burb. it already has something close to a factory 3in dual exhaust, at least to the factory muffler. is it a fairly straight swap to cut out the stock, and get a 3in/3out super 10, then either dump or get some kind of over the...

    14 bolt FF gear change

    I'm thinking of a gear change. I currently have 3.73s in my 96 K2500, 14 bolt full float. I was thinking of 4.56s. The truck will be used for medium towing, say 5-8K lbs, and very occasional light off roading, maybe 1-2 times a year, on what could be called blue or yellow trails. It...

    Drivers floor is soaked

    I don't drive it much, but every time I do, after it rains, the drivers floor is wet, underneath the floormat. It can sit for days, so it has nothing to do with driving, or a hole in the floor. I even siliconed around the windshield, just for the hell of it. Is this common? Where could it...

    Dropping oil pressure

    my burb has only had around 20lbs of pressure when driving normally. is that normal? last weekend, at a red light, it dropped to 0, and the check gauges light came on. i had to shift to neutral and keep the revs up, to keep pressure up. it does this about every time you come to a light and...

    tire wear question

    theres no tire section, and i figured its suspension related, so here it is: after a new front end; including inner/outer tie rods, sway links and bushings, and UBJs (still stock, old LBJs), and a FRESH alignment done by an old school guy who does nothing but alignments, im getting cupping on...

    ignition/key question

    96 burb.....when i bought it, the guy had only one key, and it was an old worn down copy, no originals. ive since had a new copy made, but its of the worn down previous copy. the ignition isnt hard to turn like the other guys thread, but it will seem to lock up and not turn at all, almost as...
