    Starting Issues

    I dont have a fuel pressure gauge to check.. After speaking with a GM tech today..he told me that a good possibility is that my EGR may be clogged with carbon "pellets" or pieces of carbon. Apparently this is a common issue when doing any repairs that involve the "spider" injectors.. I am...

    Starting Issues

    My starter seems to be fine. Spark as well. I pulled all the plugs and wires, everything seems to be working correctly. I thought a possibility could be timing. But i do not have a scanner to check. Apparently timing can not be check with a timing gun on the Vortec motor. A stupid design in...

    Painting Dash?

    you need an "adhesive promoter" ....spray the dash with adhesive promoter, give it a couple of good coats of primer..then you can block it smooth with 400grit (soft block to follow contour)..and for softer materials ...use the same process but you will also want to use a flex additive to...

    5.7L Vortec Injector housing and Manifold

    I did some checking around...and you were right about the bracket...but for some strange reason it was not inside the manifold when i took everything apart...which means that some idiot never put it back it while they had the manifold apart before me.. The problem i am having is that i cannot...

    True dual to Y-pipe?

    its showing a code now because of the exhaust..which is why i am trying to replace it...i did find a brand new catalytic converter set-up for $250..which is almost unheard of at that price....but if i cant get this entire exhaust system (minus the manifolds) for $200 ,id rather go with that as...

    True dual to Y-pipe?

    No...i have 2 cats and 4 o2 sensors...the new one has 1 cat and 2 o2 sensors.. I was just curious if there was a way to remove my exhaust and add the new one without changing the ECU..but i guess i would have to if i am removing 2 o2 sensors

    Dont let the pictures fool you...It does have the usual rust on the cab corners and rockers (which you can see i started to repair in a few pictures), along with some bubbling around the rear wheels..but body work is my profession and will all be taken care of in due time... I recently grinded...

    Luke your truck really does look good man...and i think after seeing the rollpan on there it has made my decision to go with it..Although i would like to keep my hitch..But my concern is this...ive heard about the "hidden hitch" but not sure how it works exactly..does it go behind the rollpan...

    When i first saw that monster, I honestly didnt know what to make of it lol. I will have to try and snap a few pics the next time he has it out, but that is very rare. The Leaf springs are so huge it almost looks like he has archery bows for suspension.
