    Whiplash removal?

    Hello all, got a question for ya. I have a 97 1500 with either a whiplash or a full throttle lift in it, I think, and would like to return it to stock. I would like to get all or most of the parts I need before attempting this. Mainly I don't know what the front end needs, I do know I have to...

    Car Gauge Pro can read CMP

    Sorry for the late reply, no it does not work with my black box PCM, it will only work with the generic OBD codes.

    On a side note, I got lucky I think and tweaked the distributor the old fashioned way, erasing the code, counting seconds it took for the light to come on, tweaking distributor, erasing code, checking to see how long light took again,,, and so on. But it sure would be great if this code reader...

    Thank you very much for that! I am using the BAFX, and it does connect to it in generic mode. However it will not connect the correct way. I dont know if its something wrong with mine being a 97? Or maybe a preference is wrong possibly? Even if I could somehow add the cam retard pid to the...

    I just bought this app and It says "No Pids supported" whenever I try it, I have a 97, and am not sure if it has a tune or not. What could I be doing wrong?

    Cant turn, among other issues

    So, after many different sets of 6 lug axles, none of which fit, I broke down and replaced the whole axle finally, so thats workin. The steering, it turned out that someone replaced the steering wheel, and put it on upside down, making the alignment shop extend a tie rod so far that it would...

    I am kinda worried about the brakes, but at the same time, couldnt i just put the 10 inch brakes on there, with a small spacer? It would titally defeat the purpose of this swap, but it would get me inspected and runnin, right?

    So, I went and got the axles, and put them in, and they stuck out a lot more than the 8 lug ones. Come to find out that they were a bit longer. So, I took them back and found a set from a 2wd truck, tried them, and they were very close to the same size as the 8 lugs axles. They fit in there...

    I was under the assumption that they had 4 keyway type things. I do get about one revolution on the wheel to the right, and 2 or more to the left. Was hoping it could just rotate the arm 90 degrees, try it, and go from there. And yep, one tie rod is extended fully, lol. I will take some pics...

    That is tomorrows project, after I find the correct axles. I am hoping it will be the pitman arm not centered. Will let you know.

    Well, I spent the day at the junkyard today, going after some axles and brakes. I found a rear the same length, and took the axles home, only to find that the axles are too long? Did I miss something?

    Cant turn, among other issues

    Well, I finally got enough time and money to pick up where I left off. Got a whole bunch of parts coming, most excited about the Bilstein shocks. I have found a 14 bolt rear from supposedly a 99 1500, with 6 lugs. It has drums. Would these axles and brakes fit my rear? I'm not really sure what...

    Well, over the weekend I tried the swaybar drop brackets, but they wouldnt fit. However when I loosened the sway bar, and turned to the right, it still wouldnt turn very far. When I bought the truck I found another pitman arm inside of the cab, could they have put the new one in wrong? Also, I...

    Thats what I am wondering, would it be more cost effective to find a used rear in 6 lug? Although I guess I would run into gearing problems. Still dont know how to find that out yet.

    I certainly have to do more research on this, but you make it sound easy, lol. Should I go to the junkyard to find the axles?

    Nice, thanks for the info, is it a hard job to do? I have no experience with rearends.

    Also was wondering how to know what kind of rearend this is? And would converting it to 6 lug be a very difficult process?
