    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    the 96 has a primitive problem. an inspector informed me ,the debug is old school. no obd2 connection for some. I am just one of them..not even implemented to interact with obd2 in any way. I only have spider injection and all the gadgets. I have a May 96 manufacture. Truck untouched, all oem. 5...

    Body Mount Brackets

    I bought them rad supports as well. it says welding is optional. as far as I can tell, my own is not welded at all,just bolted. is it a robotic weld, hiding that it is welded? just preparing my chore list in coming days. got plasma and all the tools, just curious. I repaired any factory body...

    Top end vs 383 stroker

    they have been good to me. my first 5 liter was a 301 pontiac..1978. I simply cuaght onto something as years went by. octane for the daily...5 liters does soemthing just right. I still drive one. my 5 speed 1996 gmc...still hits 20+ mpg in the summers.

    Top end vs 383 stroker

    this guy does good..stays more like most people in their back yard. I rememeber 383 making the cover of a hot rod mag.. and my friend said "don't bother, the rod ratio is too hard" the 350 can go a long freaking way..just feed it. Getting old now, an engine that still has my daydreams is a...

    NV3500 Shifting Issues

    brand new, and it looks like a short throw of a core hurst. did not know thrust could bother these. there is no other excuses that I can think of... I am thinking your shifter base off by 1-2mm might notice something and go out of align to the tightness of being new. if a shaft was bent...

    OHM testing specs for sensors

    informative thread. I'd like to revive it... I have 1996 k1500 manual trans. I simply swapped mine after verifying it was the culprit to start and stall more than several times at 10F and colder. I caught it making a loud click, and truck starts perfect afterward..even at 20 below. This was by...

    P1354?

    yes. I use Dash command for phone (and lap top), with the xtra 5 bucks spent for the cam retard reading. and obd link lx bluetooth obd2, I think it is. less than 100 in the whole thing. if you have a fast phone like samsung s21 or newer.. holy cow. there is not a scanner even getting close to...

    Scanner Tool To Set The Timing????

    Bought the palmer performance dashcommand to set CMP retard what a difference

    well damn. I was blaming my cheap obd2 bluetooth I went through 3 of them. I have the obdlink LX on the way. dash commander is all setup with the extra pid. adding up my pennies.. could have just bought an old snap on outdated. over 7 years is enough to not get mad. hope it works. I'll post...

    Scanner Tool To Set The Timing????

    old thread.. but thanks for this post. exactly what I was wondering about. I went through 3 obd2 bluetooth and had your same errors. I gave up and went 6 more years. I had one that chopped every value in half..let alone give me the exrta pid's I paid forwith dash commander. 9 inches of vacuum...

    Any secrets for a bumping MPG on 1998 305?

    I drive a 96.. 305, 5 speed. it is right by the window sticker for 25 years.. 20 in the summer really cold starts drops it down. very impressed. one of my favorites after 23 vehicles. going onto 8th year. I just redid spider assembly (my fault), egr and ignition gained a half point in vacuum...

    Why are 88's-98's special?

    99 is no different. they have a bit of a messup in the permanent database records is all.. 88-98 should be to the year 2k. I have a 96 k1500 v8 at 388k.. no codes. 5 speed, never needed anything. great owner history, mystery install of new motor somewhere along the way. exactly factory. the...
