    96 K1500 Low Oil Pressure

    I replaced my oil pressure switch, and went back to 5w30. Went to 10w40 initially with same low pressure symptoms. I now run Castrol Edge 5w30 high mileage oil and a Wix filter at 270k on 97 K1500 5.7L and all is good. Hope this helps

    Maxing out payload with Slide in Camper?

    I have 97 K1500 with level kit and rear 2in blocks running 5100s just fine. I do have new 3/4 ton torsion bars up front though, so no sagging on my setup..

    Leaf Spring support

    I have a 1997 K1500 with what I think is just bad leaf bushings, but looking for support. I have owned the truck for over 16 years and have done very minimal light towing. I know my leaf bushings have stress cracks in them but no rear end lean of any kind. I am getting what I think is rear end...

    who are the go to steering/suspension parts now?

    I've got Moog upper and lower ball joints, with some engineering to my suspension for over 10 years and no issues. Boots are all good and tight. My steering parts are ACDelco pro, only a year old and failing. The pro stuff seemed beefy out of the box but has not lasted. I have Moog to replace my...

    Black z71 rcsb "Undertaker"

    Very nice, and you are well in your way with that build. Working on mine as well, and just got done with paint. If you strip interior install some Kilmat, it's a great upgrade. You turn your torsion bars up any or is suspension factory? It looks nice and level...

    Door glass run

    I used all LMC seals recently on mine. Window tracks were a little snug at first, nothing a little Silglide couldn’t help. There are other things that cause noise, moisture barrier behind door panel any good? I replaced mine, and added sound deadener everywhere. Door pins and some work on door...

    99 350 vortec rough idle

    Great thread. About to tackle this myself. Did you have to do any sort of relearn when you replaced TPS or IAC? And any other things to look out for if I pull off throttle body to fully clean?

    LMC part quality

    Got my bed at a salvage yard, because original had unrepairable side. Tailgate came from LKQ. All other parts I picked up from LMC(rubber seal, trim, specialty hardware), Rock Auto and Amazon.

    LMC part quality

    Just my experience, but aftermarket fenders are the worst to put on. I would use LKQ or somewhere local to grab as many used parts as you can for body repairs.

    5.7L Vortec Catalytic Converter Question

    They're O2 spacers. I had O2 issues for years. Replaced everything with ignition and fuel system, and exhaust is all new. Probably do not need them anymore, but left them anyway.
