    Spider Injector Replacement Problem

    Well finally!! After taking off and putting on four times, I got the upper manifold down over the spider. It was just an extremely tight fit. Silicone spray and just kept working on pushing down on upper manifold while pulling up on spider. All went back together after that. Seems to run better...

    Spider Injector Replacement Problem

    Thanks for the info. Looks like I just need to lube it real good and ease it on there. Will get on it tomorrow after work and post results.

    Spider Injector Replacement Problem

    I just replaced my spider injector. Disassembly and installation of injector went fine. But when I attempted to put the upper manifold back on, it seem not to go down far enough. Still 1/2" gap. Is there a trick to getting the upper manifold back on over the spider injector? I lubed the...

    New Headliner and Door Fabric

    I took my headliner out and dropped it off at an auto upholstery shop. They ordered the headliner material and recovered the liner $160. The material was special order. If I'd used the original equipment material the price would have been less than $100. Here's a pic:

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    Finished installation of camera and the rest of the wiring. Installed a USB/hdmi port and an Aux/USB port on the center console. Here's a picture of all the wires before I slid the radio in the slot: And here's a couple after radio is installed.

    Do you still have the Escalade front seats and front door panels?

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    The project is still in progress. My wife and I took a little vacation and I'm just back to work now. Connected the rear view camera last night just to be sure it works as advertised. Will complete installation next week. The headliner was falling/separating from forward edge, so I took it down...

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    And here at the driver's door pillar is where I spliced/soldered into the light green wire with a blue wire (only color I had) sending the signal from the Reverse wire (light green) to the purple/white on the radio. Here's another picture where I had to trim more away from the interior panel...

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    Are the AC controls being moved or do they stay in the factory location? Yes, the HVAC controls stay in their original location. I removed the factory CD player and ordered the storage compartment to put in its place.

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    Here's another picture showing the white Stop and also where I cut the upper rear right side angle off because the radio hit it when installed. Here's the final cut closer to the rear line so the radio wouldn't touch the inner dash panel. Final cut was 2.25" from the top face of the panel...

    Another Double DIN installation -1999 K1500

    I've read as many double din (further referred to as "DD") installs as I could find for the GMT400. I looked at all the YouTube videos I could search and decided to make a build thread here that hopefully might benefit someone. I don't have videos but maybe the pics will help. It's still a work...

    Spider Injector Comparison

    I'm in the process of ordering the fuel injector converting to the MPI and have read several threads on the process. I've seen on several different forums recommendation for the injector parts and seems like the consensus is either use the AC Delco or the Delphi part. Here's the question...

    Burbalade Build Thread

    What did that center console come out of? It doesn't look like any 99-00 Escalade I've seen on eBay? Can you post some pics of it? And how did you adapt it to the lower part of the dash panel? It looks great!

    98 K1500

    Hmm? Maybe someone else with 2wd will chime in on that. I'm not sure. Just know on my 4wd with lift kit, I could drop the pan easily. Have you looked at you tube? Should be a video on there. Follow up: I didn't see in your first post. Is your truck 2 or 4 wheel drive. If it's 4wd with stock...

    Burbalade Build Thread

    I've read through this build a couple times and see some things I'd like to try on my '99 K1500 (OBS). Like the cowboy99K1500 above, I can't see the images on post #1 either. Couple of conversion questions: 1. Are the front doors the same on the K1500 as your 97 Suburban; and the 99...

    98 K1500

    I replaced all those seals you've mentioned about a year ago. Didn't have to pull the engine to do it. Mine is a 99 k1500, 5.7 L.. While I was working on it I put a 2-3 inch lift kit and that made getting to the oil pan easy. Now there's no leaks and dry as a bone! Good kuck!

    Mirror painting?

    sanded mine and used Rustoleum flat black over rustoleum red primer. Sprayed it using a cheap HVLP Harbor Freight spray gun. Worked great, looks great!

    How long did your 4L60E last?

    UPDATE - 10 Nov 2016 - The whining noise started to increase in both frequency pitch and loudness. After chasing the noise with a stethoscope, it turns out the tranny is fine after 241,000+ miles! It was the serpentine belt IDLER and the tensioner pulley bearings gone bad. Changed those and...

    How long did your 4L60E last?

    Bought my '99 k1500 (classic body style) Z71, 350 vortec new. It has 241,000 miles on original engine & 4L60e tranny. Flushed transmission oil every 50,000 miles. At 235,00 the transmission started "whining". I changed the transmission oil and filter at 240,000 miles, but it didn't help the...
