    L31 Vortec Lazy Timing...Sometimes

    I'm having a similar problem. Is this malfunction causing poor fuel economy? misfires?

    Head gasket Blew...What to do Now?

    This was exactly what happened. It was a cheap fix just a little time consuming considering it was my first time tearing down into the motor

    Head gasket Blew...What to do Now?

    Just got time to take her into the garage, so first thing i did was a compression test. All cylinders were right around 156 psi so i guess it's not my head gasket, but most likely my intake gasket. Does this sound right?

    Head gasket Blew...What to do Now?

    How much (roughly) would it cost for the machine shop to do this? I have no idea so any rough estimate would be great

    Head gasket Blew...What to do Now?

    Well guys, my motor supposedly has 157xxx miles on it and yesterday something went in the motor and antifreeze got mixed in with the oil. I'm not sure exactly what the cause of this was but two days ago i checked the motor oil and it was good and i also changed my thermostat so everything was in...

    2wd lift or leveling kit ???

    Yeah, they make 6 lug 2500's and 8 lug 2500's (HD) as far as suspension the lift kits that i have looked at are the same for the 2500 Hd and 3500 however, that is for my k3500. You guys are talking about coil spacers? I thought all these trucks have torsion bars and dampening shocks?

    Best long tube headers for the vortec 5.7?

    However, the OBX headers have 1 3/4" primaries which equates to a fair chunk of torque being lost without gaining much in top-end power

    Swan 2000 K3500 Build Thread

    Thanks man, it'll be a while before anything new, but once school is out a lot of stuff will be happening. I'll be doing a complete custom exhaust from headers back as well as a PCM tune from MJ Engineering Performance

    You'd be good, if its out of the way for my 3500 it should be out of the way for your 1500

    Swan 2000 K3500 Build Thread

    Nah sorry Vortec Lover no pics at the time. My trucks at home and I'm 7hrs away at school :/ Do you have an aftermarket tranny cooler? If not, my cooler was not in the way

    Swan 2000 K3500 Build Thread

    The lights had mounting retainers on them that only require only one hole to mount to, so i pulled the grille off and drilled a hole through the top of the grille and bolted them up. It has a clean look from the outside and when you pop the hood you only see two nuts, a nice clean look IMO

    Vortec Lover's '98 K1500 Build

    I'd set it at 4" with the BL and if it makes the 35's look small, take the BL off

    Vortec Lover's '98 K1500 Build

    yeah get some 35's and stick with your BL. Im in the same position with college and figure a 6" lift plus 3" BL= $2500 plus another $1500 for 36's or 37's and another $700 for rims haha (but thats only $4700 so you'd still have $9300.....)

    Yeah I plan on fixing the rockers and cab corners as well as some other body work, so once I'm done with that it'll get sanded and sprayed!

    Whats my truck worth?

    I'd ask 5000-6000 as well, but I don't think I could ever sell my truck. We all know how much we actually put into our trucks and that money/time just doesn't reflect on the market. Not to mention the sentimental value as well...It's just not worth it IMO (that is if you are planning on selling it)

    Long tube headers with lowered truck

    They do hang down lower but, the lowest part of the stock exhaust is where the pipe goes under the tranny and in most cases your headers will not hang that low, you should be more worried about routing your exhaust so it does not drag over bumps
