    350 TBI Boggs and surges under load

    I had a 94 with 5.7 TBI that was doing the same thing. I replaced plugs, wires, rotor, cap, and icm (ignition control module). None of it helped. Then I happened to read, on some obscure and now forgotten corner of the web, that an overheating icm can cause this exact issue (runs fine when you...

    New "Econo" paint job and mild bodywork on 96 'Burb

    Sounds like you got a urethane base coat/clear coat paint job, which is like the one applied at the factory. The cost of the paint is significantly more than the enamel paint they used on mine. Plus is more labor intensive, with multiple layers of base and clear. Your paint job will look much...

    1994 K2500 Chevy Silverado 350 V8 4x4 My truck keeps cutting out and backfires when under any slight load. Any ideas?

    Does it do it all the time? Only when cold? Only when hot? At any throttle input? Only at full throttle? Only on inclines? Need more info

    New "Econo" paint job and mild bodywork on 96 'Burb

    I know. I couldnt believe it either. They were running a New Years "paint any car for $350" special. With the body work, extra coats of enamel, and coat of clear it came out to just under $700 tax and all

    New "Econo" paint job and mild bodywork on 96 'Burb

    I am very pleased with the results. I took it to a local "Econo" paint place because the factory paint was heavily oxidized all over and peeling on the hood and roof. They smoothed out a few dings, sanded down to bare metal 80% of the truck, primered, sprayed it with Emerald Green Metallic...

    Won't shift into park

    Blown out the side of what? Would that only prevent park but allow every other gear ?

    My '96 Burb has factory true duals. Cats are in place, followed by a magnaflow with a turndown on each side. Sounds deep and throaty but not super loud.

    My 96 Suburban does not have a hose there

    97 Chevy k1500 5.7 won’t start

    Check/change fuel pump relay under the hood can you hear fuel pump turn on to prime when key is turned to run position? if not, use test light to make sure you're getting power to fuel pump relay and fuel pump
