    drive belt size

    What size drive belt do I need for a 1998 K1500 5.7L with A/C? I saw a few options on rock auto depending on the size of alternator. How can I tell what amp my alternator is?

    No acceleration at beginning of drive

    Replaced the fuel pump last night. It got rid of the god awful fuel pump whine from the old one. However, I still get almost no throttle response at the beginning of my drive. Any thoughts? Maybe a new truck lol. Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk

    No acceleration at beginning of drive

    Hey guys. I am back on this topic. I am about ready to replace my fuel pump. Dumb of me to ask how to remove the bed liner as that took me 2 seconds to do :) Question, I want to clean on & around the fuel pump before I take it off to prevent debris from falling into the tank. what is the best...

    Say I want to cut an access panel in the bed, how easy is it to remove the plastic bed liner?

    No acceleration at beginning of drive

    Dealer cleaned throttle body & then tried replacing fuel filter to no avail. They said a new fuel pump may fix the issue; but not guaranteed. They said it is a fuel volume problem; not fuel pressure. They said it would be about $800 -$900 to do the fuel pump. I am thinking about doing it myself...

    No. Thought the dealer may have. I'll have them check it.

    Yes 98. Within the past 10,000 miles/ 1.5 yrs: Complete front end rebuild (joints, axles, arms, bearings, etc). New valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, rotor/cap, plugs, wires, rear diff rebuild, fuel filter.

    No acceleration at beginning of drive

    When I start driving either when the car is cold or warm, the truck hardly responds to the throttle. I can put it to the floor and no acceleration occurs. After several seconds, the truck starts to respond and runs fine. I took it to the Chevy dealer and they said it was due to a gummed up...

    vibration at hwy speeds

    1998 K1500 5.7L Truck vibrates (not terrible but annoying) most noticeably at 60-75mph. I also notice it when I let off of the throttle to let it coast (again, at hwy speeds). Any Ideas? It is not the front end as I had the whole front end replaced (not because of this issue).

    engine block heater location

    Where would the engine block heater cord be located (if I have one) on a 1998 K1500 5.7L? Going to be -20 in the morning w/ -55 windchill.
