    Shift cable adjustment 97 4L60E

    I had my trans rebuilt and have it back in and everything buttoned up with the exception of the shift cable. It seems about a quarter inch too long now. It is adjusted all the way in at the end. I don't remember it being in a bind when I removed it. Am I missing something onvious? I could...

    Cheap overhaul?

    I have a 97 5.7 with 220k miles. It runs great, and has good compression. I have a few oil leaks that I'd like to address. If I pull the engine to reseal everything, I know I'll end up going deeper, since I invented "while I'm there". Has anyone here done a simple (cheap) ring and bearing job...

    Spark knock...no code

    I am getting part throttle spark knock no matter what octane fuel I use in my 97 5.7. It's better with premium, but still there. I have a Black Bear Tune, and I have sent the computer back to them for a retune, but the issue is still there. I have replaced the knock sensor. Has anyone had a...

    Intermittent no start, 89 GMC 5.7 TBI

    My dad's 89 has an intermittent no start issue. Most of the time it does fine. Occasionally, it will crank but not start. I borrowed the truck a couple of times recently when my family was down a car. On 2 different mornings, I was leaving for work and it wouldn't start. Later in the day...

    And another one bites the dust (engine that is)

    It looks like the L31 in my truck is giving up the ghost. Oil consumption has suddenly taken a turn for the worst. 187k on the engine, so I shouldn't complain. Was using a quart about every 2500 miles, that got down to 1500 miles, and now I have thrown in 4 quarts since my last oil change...

    Cutting off sporatically

    My 97 has begun to lose ignition power and cut off. It happened once a couple of weeks ago. Truck dies and all electrical quits. I put it in park, crank it up again, and all is well. It did it again twice this morning. Seems to happen when I take off from a start when I first crank it up...

    Stereo system

    I can't believe that there isn't a dedicated thread for stereo systems. I just got through installing everything in my 97 extended cab. When I first got the truck about a year ago, I put some el cheapo Scosche speakers in to replace the busted factory units. Soon after that, I installed a...

    Cloth seat upholstery removal for cleaning

    I have removed the cloth upholstery on other vehicles so I could soak them in the sink with some Oxyclean to get them very clean. Are there any difficulties with removing the cloth off the 60/40 seats and armrest console in my 97? I've used my Little Green steamer, but as the material dries...
