    Crappy Bumper Impact Strips

    So I just broke my second impact strip because of the stupid hammer on clips that come with them instead of the push on clips that the factory ones use and of course the OEM ones are discontinued. So that's $100 gone because they're $20 each but $30+ to ship. There's ones on ebay that are $70...

    Can Wheel Spacers Cause Issue with Wheel Bearings?

    I did rotors, pads, and wheel bearings about 5 years ago and I put 5th gen Camaro wheels and 1" spacers on a couple of years ago. There's a thread on here dedicated to 5th gen wheels on lowered trucks. Anyway, The truck doesn't get driven much. Mostly weekends and my mom takes it to Home Depot...

    Airbag connector identification

    I need some help. I ended up pulling my steering column so I could get to some wires from an alarm that the previous owner put in. I figured while I'm there I might as well swap the steering wheel for one with the radio controls. I ended up getting a wood and leather wheel from an Escalade off...

    Uninstalling Hack Job Alarm. Need Help Identifying OEM Parts w/ Pics

    Electrical gurus, please help. A while back I had an issue where my power door locks started freaking out while I was driving. My mechanic said there was an alarm wired in and that he had disabled it so it wouldn't do that any more. Fast forward a bit and I needed to replace my turn signal and...

    Would 2002 Express Van Top End, Harness and PCM Swap Over?

    My 97 4.3 has an oil leak at the pan and timing cover. Quoted price to fix it was almost what the truck is worth so I'm thinking swap time. I spoke with a shop that wanted to do a 5th gen L83 but it was going to be about 13k because of all the extra stuff you have add like power steering and...

    K1500 Upper Control Arms on C1500

    I think I know the answer already because I feel like I would see this mod all over the place if it was a straight bolt on but can you do it? I've seen where guys have said you can use the 2500 and swap upper ball joints by welding and drilling new holes.

    5th Gen Camaro Wheel Adapter Issue - c1500 Front Rotor Hub Dimension?

    I am putting 5th Gen Camaro wheels on my truck and ran into an issue on the front. There is a thread here about these wheels specifically and thought I had the sizing down in my head, but the inside dimension on the adapter wouldn't slip over the snout where the outer bearings live. There is a...

    NBS stepside tailgate spoiler on OBS stepside?

    So I managed bash the crap out of the top lip of my tailgate this past weekend. I think I've seen somewhere where you could put the fleetside tailgate cap/spoiler from a NBS on an OBS but can't find if it works with stepsides also. Can anyone verify? Also, if you know of a less pricey...

    4.3 to 5.7 swap, a couple of questions

    I've searched a around a bit but haven't dug into my service manuals yet, just hoping for a couple of quick "should or shouldn't work" type answers. I'll work out the details later. I have a 97 short bed with a 4.3. I might be able to get a 5.7 motor, trans and harness w/pcm from a 98 for a...

    Steering Wheel/Airbag colors

    I'm wanting to do the steering wheel audio control mod and I'm still working my way through the big thread to see what all my options are, but in the mean time I really, really, want to get rid of the chewed up wheel with the Wal-mart cover that's in the truck now. I grabbed this one on ebay...

    LS1 swap/411 PCM questions

    I'm doing research on a 411 pcm swap vs a full LS1 swap and haven't been able to find answers to a couple of lingering questions. Some background info: It's a 1997 Single Cab Short Stepside. Currently the truck has a 2007 4.3L that the owner before me did, but I think it's extremely similar if...

    Door panel clip holders

    More interior death and destruction.... I pulled the door panels off to do the interior handles and speakers. Some of the black pieces that the white retainers slot into broke off on one panel but were completely missing on the other. I epoxied the broken ones back to the panel and it seems...

    Interior trim pieces source?

    Neither of my rear speakers were working and in my normal process of fixing stuff I broke some other stuff. Two trim pieces. The one under the bottom of the back window and the one where the dome light is along the top of the window. So the first thing I'm having issue with is what are they...

    1997 4.3 Stupid Radiator Questions

    I'll preface this with the statement that this will possibly be the dumbest questions I'll ever ask on a forum, but if you don't know you know right? Background: I came home to a coolant puddle under the front of the truck and after some looking saw it was seeping out around the drain **** and...
