    Time for a new engine. Suggestions?

    My 4.3 blew a head gasket. White smoke out of the exhaust, and milky oil. At 254,xxx I'm not just going to replace the gasket, so I'm looking for either a rebuild or a "new" engine to put in it. I have until mid-August to have it done before I have a 12 hour drive to my summer job lol. Any...

    Loud clapping noise?

    Loud clapping noise UPDATE (fixed?) So the truck has been doing this all winter, I've just been too lazy to ask about it. I only drive the truck a couple times a week, and it's usually ~50 outside. It does this for a good 5 minutes. When I rev, it speeds up. I don't notice any other problems...

    Kill Switch

    Does anybody have one? Where did you get it and did you install it yourself? I'm going to put one in my truck. I'd like to do it myself if possible but I don't know anything about the things lol. Also, where are some good hiding spots?

    Writeup: How to replace PCV Valve

    One of the hardest mods I've attempted yet (hardly lol). This piece "should" be replaced every 50k miles. This isn't as much a write up as it is a reminder but I was bored so I snapped some pics. Takes 1-5min and costs around $5.00 There's where the valve is. Pull it from the bottom...

    Muffler help

    As you may have seen I (likely) have an exhaust leak so I'm looking into a new muffler. I want something that sounds nice and deep, but quiet. I barely want to hear it until it I step on it. Also this is for the 4.3 V6. I don't know much about them so what do you guys think?

    97 LeSabre smells like unburned gas

    97 LeSabre smells like unburned gas. FIXED! Under the hood as soon as you start it and after you turn it off. Any ideas? A friend of a friend said it's probably a fuel injector or line. I know it's not a truck but it's a GM product lol

    Ticking sound under the driver door

    I noticed this a while ago but just figured it was my truck getting old (just about 243k miles) but today I figured i'd get out and look before I turned the truck off. I open the hood and I can't hear it. So I go back to my door to shut it off and there it is again. I haven't looked under it...

    cutting tail pipe?

    I cut the tailpipe I have the stock pipe sticking out of the back and it is UGLY. Eventually I'd like to put a new muffler etc but i'm low on money. Would cutting a foot or so off make any difference as far as passing smog or anything? I can't see why it would, just making sure lol. also...
