    4x4 not working 98 Z71

    Turns out the it's the cv shaft hub looks fine. Luckily I'm helping my friend out at his tire shop as business is slow for me right now so I'll toss the truck up on the hoist this week and change it out. It's also convenient I rent the living quarters above his shop.

    3 rebuilt 4l60e's later.....

    I've finally decided I'll just keep my 98 Z71 the way it is with the gutless piece of **** no good 5.7 vortec and just buy a newer Chevy with a factory installed duramax and call it a day instead of doing a duramax and transmission swap. I drove a decent 2009 duramax the other day and thought...
