    I'm considering doing a 10 % a$$ job.

    Normally i'm 100% for doing everything properly. There are rare times where I will shortcut something. I'm seriously considering this being one of those times. We bought a 95 K2500 with the 4L60E and I'm 90% certain that the 2-4 band is broken and not worn out. The fluid is bright red and it...

    Has anyone tried to straighten an axle tube?

    My 800 burb was recently put in a ditch on the left side. Unfortunately the front of the frame is tweaked and it is just outside of being alignable. The rear axle shaft is bent and the housing has a 2 degree upward bend between the wheel and the coil spring. I'm thinking about driving it up on...

    3500hd section

    The old 3500hd forum is long gone and all of that information is lost. In that the 91-02 3500hd is a GMT400 how about adding a subsection? I doubt that it would generate a bunch of traffic but it would be nice to keep future information.

    Build a hypothetical 3500HD.

    HYPOTHETICALLY build me a GMT400, crew cab, 4x4, diesel, flatbed (not sure on 8' or 10'). It needs to be capable of 5k on the flatbed and towing up to 12k. It also needs to ride as smooth as possible and be reasonably low for being a solid axle 4x4 because I'm 5'7" and my sweetie is 5'. The...

    Favorite cheap tools

    The why are expensive hand tools better than cheap tools thread got me thinking about my favorite cheap (under $20) tools. 1. Paper clips. I use them to back probe wires. I touch them to the grinder and heat the tip when I want to pierce wires. I use them as short jumper wires. I slide them...

    Dad's 48 Ford F1 panel

    So as I am trying to purge my projects I ran across a nice Silverado for a drive train swap drop in to Casey's 93. Then when talking to one of my customers I found out that he was selling a 48 Ford F1 panel. My dad had one of these when he was in the Navy in Adak, Alaska at 18 years old. It...

    PSA check your wiring.

    These connectors came from a 99 Suburban with a 4L80e. It shifted without any kind of issue whatsoever but when the harness was stripped back this was the damage that I found. I would have never found this damage if it wasn't for the fact that we were using this harness in an LS swap. The input...

    My brother in law runs a detail shop just outside of Chicago. He's here on vacation and he brought his detailing stuff with him. He's been here since Saturday night and he's done my wife's Honda, both of our Suburbans and today he did Essie. The stripes are shot and the clear is cracking on the...

    On the vortec an LS engines we have a cruddy orange rubber map sensor seal that is almost always torn up. Nobody ever stocks it and it is expensive.

    What are your favorite car trailer accessories?

    I just bought a 12k 20' car/equipment trailer. I plan to add a reciever mount for a winch and possibly an electric hitch. I need to equip the trailer with easy to use straps or chains capable of handling a crew cab, dually on the deck. I need it so simple that my wife can load and strap by...

    Amsoil NV3500 synchromesh

    My 2002 S10 , yes not a 400 but the same tranny, was due for a tranny service. I bought the synthetic Amsoil synchromesh fluid. I had what sounded like a noisy bearing. When the clutch pedal was released and the tranny was spinning internally there was noise, with the clutch pushed in the noise...

    Pro Comp pro runner light bar

    I drooled over this white truck many times in the 90's. This was the "poster shot" for Pro Comp's Pro Runner light bar. I would like to find one. The part numbers were 14000 for black or 14000g for hammered grey. Either would be fine by me. Can someone please help me find one?

The radiator is cracked as well. it was definitely putting air in the cooling system and pushing out water...

    Skylark's Dad's 94

    This truck was purchased as a parts truck. It is a 1994 K1500, 350, 5 speed with 373 gears. It is pretty much stock with the exception of an aftermarket stereo and a 4 inch lift. I remember this truck back in 1996. It belonged to a city worker in the town that I grew up in. Later on in life I...

    Truck axle interchange

    The rear diff is taking a dump in our 99 Yukon. I'm looking at a diff from a 94 k1500. Are these yhe same mounting and shock locations? I know that the rear sway bar mounts aren't there but that is no big deal.

    Moonroof in an extended cab?

    I have a late 90's Pontiac Grand Prix sitting in my driveway that will donate it's drive train to another GP and I got to looking at it last night and realized that it has a power moonroof. I've thought about doing this to my 93. Has anyone done a power moonroof?

    Best 10$ performance mod!

    So I hate to admit this but I've been driving the Yukon almost 2 years now and put 20,000 miles on it. I noticed this last week that it was starting a little slow. I realized that I'd never put a fuel filter in it. Ten bucks later and it is spunky! My phantom miss is gone and I actually think...
