    Electrical draw with key off

    I am having one of those PITA electrical problems that we all dread and need some opinions on where to be looking, I have a draw with the key off of 87 mA which is causing my truck to be harder and harder to start every morning. I charged it this weekend and barely got it to start today when I...

    Horrible missfire no codes

    I am having a horrible missfire in my truck that I can't figure out, it runs like crap idling in or out of gear and shakes horrible going uphill under load. I have EFI live and it's showing 100+ missfires on all cylinders and the LTFTs are really screwy. I can post a log file if anyone wants to...

    Battery Wiring

    I want to see ideas for neatly and efficiently terminating wires to the battery. Right now the previous owner of my truck has those cheap lead battery terminals and it looks like crap and loosens up constantly. All I have now is stock wiring no amps or winches.

    Outside mirror glass

    Where is the best place to get replacement mirror glass? I looked in the parts store today and it was just a flimsy piece of glass with some double sided tape on it surely this can't be the only option.

    Planning exhaust

    My cats are completely shot out and I am planning on upgrading my exhaust next but I have a question. Is it true that if you have your cats hot from running and you forge a small creek or something that it will damage them from sudden cooling? If so I may be better off going cat-less because...

    Alternator bearing question

    Typically how long will the bearings last in a CS140 after they start squeaking? I want to wait and order a new one from rock auto because it's way cheaper but I can't afford downtime with the truck not to mention I would be pissed if the bearings locked up and I shredded my brand new belt.

    2010 Exhaust Sound

    I got a chance to drive my dads 2010 ECSB and I noticed it has an awesome exhaust note from the factory. Not loud at all but a very sexy throaty growl under acceleration. Does anyone know how they achieve this I looked and it looks like the same old big cased factory muffler but the internal...

    Getting good balanced sound without a subwoofer

    Any ideas for getting a good rounded sound without going through all the hassle of a subwoofer? I am thinking possibly doing a component setup in the front doors with as big a woofer as possible and then possibly doing two more 8" woofers in the rear doors. Then drive it all off a good 4 channel...

    Special request from the junkyard dogs.

    I need 32+ NBS (01-07 at least possibly more years) plastic lug nut covers. I prefer black but I can paint or whatever to match. Also I need the top for the flip down center console from 96-98 preferably in a tan color. I may be able to find this locally but I for sure need the hookup on the...

    I finally pulled the trigger

    I finally bought EFI live tonight, I have been thinking and talking about it since around '07 when I put an LM7 in my '96 RCSB. Wife finally got sick of hearing about it and told me to get it for my birthday. I can definitely say I am way in over my head...

    Starting to wonder

    I am really starting to wonder if someone may have at some point put a cam in my truck, I have a little annoying stumble at idle that comes and goes. We had my truck hooked up to a Genesis back a few weeks ago and the statement was made that my MAP was alittle low at around 9. To add to it I...

    Ladder Rack

    So I was out last night and I saw a 2004-05ish Cummins CCSB slightly lifted with a very slick looking ladder rack on it and I fell in love. Now I am considering doing the same with my truck instead of a headache rack. I wish I could have gotten a picture but it was too dark, he had lights across...

    lug nut cover questions

    So I put a set of PY0 wheels on my truck this week with the GMT400 center caps and I am catching hell trying to get the lug nut covers to stay on. Its only a miscellaneous few that won't stay but its driving me nuts. Every time I get home I have to replace a few. Is there a different style nut...

    1999 454 CCSB Build

    So I am going to start a build thread but don't expect anything major to happen right away this is going to be a slow development. Overall plans are to slowly go through everything on this truck one part at a time and keep it for a long long time. When the 454 craps out I am caught between a...

    Distributor Swap

    I swapped the distributor in my 454 and just dropped it in as close to the old as possible. I never saw the P1345 code but I am wondering if there is some way the cam retard could be out of spec but not throw the code? I don't want to pay over 100$ to have it checked if it's not needed it drives...

    Fuel pressure confusion

    I posted this on FSC but incase someone doesn't regularly visit I'm going to post it here as well. 99 K2500 Vortec 7400 I started with low fuel pressure and so far have done the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator. The injectors were already done when I purchased the...

    Fuel pump confusion

    So I finally found a fuel pressure gauge to borrow today and the results are less than spectacular. Key on engine off all I get is 48 psi, crank it up and and holds pretty steady at 48-46 and jumps to 51-52 for a second if you blip the throttle. Clamped off the return with absolutely no change...

    IAC valve

    What should happen if I unplug my IAC valve while the truck is idling? I tried it today and got absolutely no change at all, I even revved it up a few times with no change. I am still trying to run down this PITA rough idle before it makes me kill someone.
