    Fuel Pump & Pressure Question

    I just need some advice/experience from the experts here to make sure my diagnosis is correct. We have a 1996 Chevrolet C3500 with a 454. The truck intermittently cranks a few extra seconds before starting. There is a slight stumble at idle when warm. I bought a fuel pressure tester and...

    A little more advise

    I am going to throw out one more suggestion here. Have you made sure that your trailer brakes are not dragging and that your trailer axles are not bent? I have seen more than one trailer that pulls like its on runners instead of wheels because the axles were not square -- even a single axle...

    How Much Can YOU Haul IN 1/2 Ton???

    I know its not a 400 but here is a pic my 06 half ton hauling a little. We were stopped at about 7400 feet elevation on the way back home when this pic was taken. I love this truck almost as much as my '96 crew cab which was busy hauling cows to new pasture the same weekend. My folks have...

    Upper Control Arm

    We just had new tires put on our Towpig. The truck is a 96 C3500 CC/LWB 454 with 129K. It drives nicely and I do not hear any rattles or unusual suspension noises. I told the guys at Les Schwab to do an alignment also just as a preventative item. The truck drives pretty true and you...

    HydroBoost Leaks

    Finally got a few moments to look this over and there is a signs of a leak around the boost unit at booth the firewall and at the connection between the Master Cylinder. I do not think it is leaking constantly. My suspicion is that it only leaks when I am doing a lot of breaking and hard turns...

    HydroBoost Leaks

    We recently noticed a hot oil smell which I finally took a moment to look for. There is oil all over the frame and control arms on the left side and I am suspecting we have a leak at the hydro boost unit because my PS fluid level stays fine and the brake fluid is fine. What should I be looking...

    454 Intake Manifold Gasket

    I am getting ready to order parts for my 454 intake manifold gasket (it is leaking at the both corners of the valley at the front of the block). Are there any recommendations on the best gasket kit to buy? I see a lot of guys talking about updated GM Parts and then there some talking about the...

    gooseneck hitch

    We got the one for the 06 from our Chevy dealer and the second from ebay (tsetruckstuff_sales). Price was $375 with free shipping if I remember right -- it was a very good deal. We are also starting to see the B&W's at farm auctions and on craigslist locally, but I didn't want to buy a used...

    gooseneck hitch

    There are a lot of options out there. My wife and I currently have two trucks (an '06 1/2 ton and a '96 1 ton) with B&W's. I really like their system and they are a very easy install in most trucks. We did both trucks ourselves and the 96 was way easier than the 06, but both were done in...
