    Problem with fuel pump electrical

    I've been having some problems with my fuel pump not running. I tore everything apart and found that the pump is fine but one of the electrical connectors for the pump in the tank seems to have a bad connection sometimes. At first I could only get the pump to run if I held the wires one way, but...

    Help diagnosing oil leak

    I've had my truck for a while now and it seems like the bottom of the transmission is always wet with oil. It can't be a huge leak because whenever I check the tranny or engine oil it's not really that low. I haven't looked into it too much but anyone have a suggestion on what I should check...

    Problem with brakes on 96 k1500

    There's something up with the brakes on my truck and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. When the truck isn't running the brakes pump up and feel pretty solid but when it's running they're pretty soft. And while it's running, if you don't pump the brakes and just slam on them the...

    Torsen diff. Question

    I just saw this video on torsen diffs and I was wondering, how hard would it be to put one on my truck? Also would it be worth it and how strong are these kinds of diffs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEiSTzK-A2A

    Question about torsion bars

    I know that the torsion bars are the "spring" for the front suspension with IFS and it has a shock to dampen it, but, with the stock a arm setup, could you get rid of the torsion bars and replace the shock with something like an offroad shock that "springs" and dampens like in this picture? or...

    Question about IFS suspension lift

    I was looking at the rough country lifts and I was wondering if there is a way to get around lowering the front differential? I'm only planning on doing the 2-3in lift so I know it won't drop it a lot and it's not a big deal, but I'd like to avoid lowering it just to get a little more clearance...

    Frame questions

    I have to get my truck inspected this month and I've been going around fixing things and I found a rust hole in the frame. It isn't too big so I can fix it and it'll be good for a while and pass inspection, but the whole frame is going to rust sooner or later because I run the truck in the...

    Question about little box by front wheels

    Can someone tell me what this little box is? It's mounted to the frame by the front wheel, looks like it's for electrical or something. The one on the passenger side came off the mount and it looks like the previous owner tried to silicone it to the frame but it didn't work so it's just flopping...

    Thinking about an engine swap

    Right now I have a 96 GMC k1500 single cab short bed with a 5 speed and a 305, and I was thinking that dropping in a diesel would be pretty nasty. The truck I would take the engine out of is a chevy c3500 cheyenne dump truck with a 6.5 turbo, I think it's a 98. A guy brought the dump truck down...

    need help diagnosing problem

    I've been having some trouble with my truck the last few days after the engine light came on. It starts fine and drives fine for about 5 minutes then when I hit the gas it bogs. If I keep driving, it keeps bogging and the rpms keep going down every time I hit the gas until I have to stop, and it...

    Anyone heard of full boar mufflers

    I'm looking to get a new muffler for my truck and I'm thinking about getting either a flowmaster super 10, a cherry bomb extreme, or a full boar single chamber. I know that they're all pretty much the same thing, but I've never really heard of the full boar one and it's like $30 on ebay which...
