    Pressing brake drops Idle speed a lot

    I must've missed how big the drop was originally. Glad you found the leak and fixed it.

    Pressing brake drops Idle speed a lot

    Be aware, that hydroboost taxes the power steering to add stopping power. So, when you stop the pedal hard at idle, it puts a higher load on the engine. As long as it is only 50 rpm, I wouldn't be worried. You should get a similar drop if you hold the steering wheel against the stops. I...

    Knocking noise when clutch pedal is disengaged under load

    Then I'd bet it's your throw out bearing in the clutch. I've known many people who thought they had an engine dying with a knock only to find out it was a clutch.

    Knocking noise when clutch pedal is disengaged under load

    I still drive my dad's 02 Silverado with 300k on the original engine and trans everywhere it's needed. I even pull the boat and snowmobiles with it. As long as I don't overload it I have no worries using it. I know we maintain it properly and repair it when necessary. I'm sure it won't last...

    Could also be the throw out bearing in the clutch. I've had a few of those fail and they can act as you describe when they start to go. I doubt your engine has developed an intermittent knock dependent on load and clutch inputs.

    Opinions on Glowshift, MotorMeter, etc gauges

    I had some glowshift gauges over the years. I had one that randomly switched colors, other than that, I had no issues with them.

    Trying to figure out what tire will fit without lifting

    No adjustments to the torsion bars, 285/75R16's. Didn't rub unless I was turned full lock and hit a significant bump.

    97 K1500 project

    Finally got the exhaust fixed. Nice and pretty quiet now. Took it on a 50 mile trip, and got a code for the catalyst. Was fine when there was no muffler behind it, but bad now. So, guess it's time to go shopping for that.

    97 K1500 project

    Well, after replacing B1S1 and B1S3 the truck is running nicely again. B1S3 looked like it had been hit with something at some point and the tip was bent and deformed. B1S2 was that way when I changed it a few weeks ago as well. New ignition cylinder installed, now that works like it...

    97 K1500 project

    Having been up close and personal with it a few times.... One 02 just aft of the manifolds on each side, than one pre-cat and one post-cat. Truck only has one cat. Per the wiring diagrams, the ones nearest the cats are both regarded as bank 1. We'll get her figured out eventually. I've...

    Suburban 2500 tire size question

    Of course there was this one time I fit 36's with no lift on my old K20 Suburban. (The stock rims with 36" tires I mentioned earlier) The beast was ugly, and anytime I heard tire rubbing, the grinder came out until the rubbing stopped.

    Suburban 2500 tire size question

    I have put 36" and 37" Hummer tires on the stock rims on my K-5's a few times without issue as well. Those were pretty wide with the stupid 16.5" rims and somehow never lost a bead. Even aired down. If it seals, send it. It's the ones that the rims stick past the sidewalls that scare me.
