    Fun on a budget- My 96 Sierra 2500 454

    The oil pressure sender is replaced under the hood by touch - you can't see what you need to see. The special socket is required unless you remove the engine.

    2000 chevy 7.4 oil cooler lines

    DON'T reuse the clip. It WILL fail. And you will have no one to curse at but the guy staring back at you in the mirror.

    454 swap? What does it entail?

    You need a different radiator, radiator brackets, fan, and fan shroud. I would keep the vortec 454 fuel injection system for the sake of simplicity, but that means you need also need the ECM, harness, and a new fuel pump. FYI: not all of the stock fuel injection system parts for the 454 are...

    Kill switch, 1997 k1500 pickup

    If the fuel pump is working and the plugs are not firing and the would be thief is a moron there is a definite possibility of flooding/cylinder washdown. You could also put a switch on the starter relay.

    The coil is another option.

    Gas Tank Replacement

    If the fuel tank is rusty enough to warrant replacing, you would be wise to replace the brake line that goes up that inside frame rail while the tank is out of the way. There are surprisingly few convenient times to have a brake line rupture. I used these guys https://www.inlinetube.com/ and was...

    Fuel Pressure

    If you are at 100% duty cycle and you need more fuel delivered it is time for larger injectors not more pressure.

    Fuel tank Relocating

    The secondary tank from the cab and chassis models might be an option if its available. You could also just use a fuel cell.

    Tossing fuel pumps like crazy

    The voltage is definitely a problem, although it may not be the only one. Does the pump have a good, clean ground? A poor ground is a common cause of the low voltage/high amperage condition that tends to fry fuel pumps.

    Led Headlights

    I have also done this before - and on more than one occasion - with no permanent injury. Like you, I would never have imagined a mere headlight could do such harm. The fact that it seems so impossible/unlikely is why I bring it up. I would like you, me, etc. to not be the next person whose...

    Led Headlights

    I was thinking more along the lines of a situation where you are approaching an intersection and turn left in front of opposing traffic. There is a large dip or hump in the road that causes your otherwise perfectly aimed headlights to shine directly into the eyes of the drivers opposite you...

    Led Headlights

    The bolded part I quoted from you above is the only misinformation in this thread. If you would like to be introduced to the person whose vision has been impaired I can introduce you. You are not a medical doctor and, even if you were, you have not examined the patient. He has a diagnosis from...

    Led Headlights

    Please think of everyone else on the road. Even with properly designed housings that are properly aimed it only takes a slight bump in the road or turn of the wheel to direct those lights directly into the eyes of oncoming traffic. I know someone with permanently impaired vision in one eye...
