    Mileage on 5.7 vortec

    Hello all, I just got back from driving 600 miles for a little road trip. I figured now would be a good time to see what my mileage is on the highway. I just used DashCommand for it and it tracked it well with graphs and everything. The results were less than desirable though. I was about 8mpg...

    O2 sensor help

    I'm thinking about getting 2.5in duals with an H pipe and a couple glasspacks in under my truck. I'm not worries about the rear o2's because I'm just gonna tune those out. My question is, does the exhaust shop just add bungs for the front o2 sensors? I thought those are the ones that affect A/F...

    How would you go about fixing this

    Dont ask lol. Would drilling it out and running a tap through it be my remedy? I'd probably do it with the engine upside down

    ARP Main Bolt differences

    I'm working bit by bit on learning how to build a stroker from a vortec 4 bolt. The block doesn't have main bolts and I wanted to get some ARP ones. However the website has a whole slew of bolts for large and small journals (no medium journals though) and ones for a windage tray and ones...

    Is this block usable

    I was given this block by a friend if I just took it off his hands for him. It's the casting number I want but there is a chip in it. Is this salvageable or am I taking this to the scrap yard?

    Do any of you drive junk????

    Saw this at the shop and it made me upset. I will argue against putting a gmt400 on junk engine and transmission advertisement.

    Rear main

    I want to replace the rear main in my truck while the tranny is out however I don't have that special tool that you use to push it in. I tried the dealers around me and none of them would rent me one even though I said I'd put down the full deposit on it lol. Any ideas to getting it in without...

    Dumb questions

    Woo! Got my first brand new tranny and I've never installed one! Haha I got a 1998 Chevy k2500 project truck that came with no tranny so I'm piecing things together.

    Alternator bracket stud

    I have a bigass crack in my cylinder head and want to replace the head. However I don't think the new ones come with this stud that I believe mounts to the alternator bracket. How can I get this off or how do I go abouts to get another? Thank you

    Engine mount question

    Does having the transmission not mounted have anything to do with my engine sagging? I just bought this truck with no tranny and I was trying to get the fuel lines off but there's no way because it's sagging so low. Do I need new mounts? Thanks for the help.

    Hey yall, first post here. I'm not sure if this goes here but you guys can bump it if I'm wrong. I'm buying a 1998 k2500 from a guy pretty cheap but it doesn't have a tranny.
