    HID/LED conversion

    LEDs will function in any housing, so long as the input and output are wired correctly, but the light will not cast correctly because the bulbs output light in a very different manner. You also seem to be confused as to why the low beams are HID and the lows are halogen. This is because HIDs...

    SES light no codes

    If C is for ABS, would it trip SES light or ABS light, maybe both? Just curious, never ran into an ABS code on my 97. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    '97 Silverado Alternator Replacement

    Purchased mine at Summit. Drop in replacement if you're looking for more power, can't recommend it enough. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Distributor replace/align

    Ok... weird thought here. I wonder if your harmonic balancer has failed. That would cause your timing mark to be off, and cause issues with timing resulting in weird bouts of running lean and rich, as your plugs are indicating. I'd verify the cylinder is at TDC when the timing mark says it...

    How did you verify TDC? Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Distributor replace/align

    Correct. Make sure to take into account that the rotor will rotate as the distributor gear meshes with the cam, when meshed and the distributor is all the way in, the rotor should be at the number 1 cylinder. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Distributor replace/align

    Initial timing should get set with the engine off, cylinder one TDC entering the power stroke, distributor rotor pointing at cylinder 1. This can be done with the EST plugged or unplugged, however when you run the engine and use the timing light, you'll want the EST unplugged, line on the...

    Distributor replace/align

    Did you test multiple cylinders for spark, or just 1? Is the cylinder you tested running black and/or wet with fuel? Could just be a bad rotor and/or cap. Either way, probably won't need to replace entire distributor. You'll also want to be checking the timing with the spark advance wire...

    Built tbi vs ls swap

    My understanding is that the 95 is a 4l60e, prior to that they were all just regular old 700r4's. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong though, worth further research for sure. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Built tbi vs ls swap

    The 4l60e came in 5.3l LS powered light duties, so you don't need to swap transmissions for what you're looking for unless your current transmission is going out. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Built tbi vs ls swap

    Stutaeng is right to a point, he might have been typing his response before you put the HP and torque numbers you were looking for. Shurkey is also right, the TBI to 5.3l won't give you much for the work you're generating for yourself. Not a direct comparison, but my virtually stock vortec 5.7l...

    Serpentine belt problem

    Pull the belt, should see signs of belt slippage on the pulley where it rubbed the anodizing off. You should also hear it get better if you spray the bearing with some lubricant. Don't use WD40, or you may cause failure in a bearing that hasn't failed yet. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Serpentine belt problem

    Did you check for axial play in the pulleys as well? Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Serpentine belt problem

    Clacking you say? There's a couple different things it can be, as mentioned above, it's most likely a component driven by the belt. Clacking leads me to believe it's the harmonic balancer. Check the tension pulley, is it moving at all while the engine is running? if not, great, it's probably...

    Protecting audio system

    Not familiar with anything to help beef up the strength of the doors, I went a different route. I have a $2500 additional equipment policy on my insurance. They'll cut a check for the full MSRP of my system, after receipt of police report. I think it was like $5-6/month to add it. That's in...

    Where to run wires through firewall?

    Forgot to add this: either way you go, if you drill, make sure you clean up the hole. Last thing you want is an 4ga or larger power wire straight to the body (ground). I used a Dremel to clean up any burs. years of vibrations and a sharp enough bur will cut right through a grommet and cable...

    Where to run wires through firewall?

    I drilled mine under the reservoir fill, came out right under the carpet, perfect. Pull the carpet up first, so you don't catch it with the bit. I threw RTV on it to prevent rust and keep it watertight, but mine isn't a show truck, the paint and grommet route does look cleaner, but you can't see...

    P0340 Replaced Sensor, No Start

    Ok, that rules out the distributor gear. Verify that distributor is aligned with #1 cylinder when at TDC on compression stroke. Could be a skipped tooth on the distributor, or a skipped tooth on the timing chain. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    P0340 Replaced Sensor, No Start

    Had this happen a few months back. When you crank, is there any oil pressure? Sounds like you may need to replace the distributor gear. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Slow/labored crank

    If it were either of those, the starter wouldn't engage or turn. The likely culprit is heat breaking down the coils of the motor, reducing the torque produced. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Slow/labored crank

    My starter did the same thing, but I did check the wiring, the battery as you did, and hand cranked the engine as well to ensure it wasn't compression, timing, or friction related. It was the starter even though it "checked out" at the parts store. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

    Slow/labored crank

    Could be the starter, could be a bad connection. Check the connections from the starter to the power and ground with a multimeter by checking resistance. Should be next to nothing, like 0.0x-0.1x ohms for each. For the ground just check negative battery terminal to starter housing. Double check...

    You can guess or you can know. Diagnose the signal from the head to the speakers and you'll know. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk
