    Bad motor or ?????

    Thanks guys, I will look into the valves and so forth as soon as I can and I will keep you all updated. I do have one question, I have had the valve cover off once before due to a oil leak repair I had to remove the A/C compressor and bracket in order to get it off. So how do I run the engine...

    Bad motor or ?????

    I got a 96 ECSB with a 98 motor with about 140,*** miles on the motor. So a couple weeks ago I got on it a little hard leaving a stop sign and afterwards I noticed a major loss of power and a small knock under normal idling conditions so I limped the truck home (2 miles). I started checking...

    88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

    I really like your set up. We do a lot of tent camping but after seeing your setup has me thinking of doing something like that! Thanks for the ideas.:hmm::smoke2:

    USB charging port instead of rear ash tray

    Looks great! Where did you get the ports from? Might have to do this to mine as well! Thanks for the idea.

    2000 GMC K3500...This may take me awhile to finish!

    I know the feeling as I just had my K1500's replaced back in February just two weeks after I bought it! :Frustrated: Luckily for me, repairing tranny's is what my uncle does for a living so got the "family" discount at $1200. Hope you make the right decision, one you wont regret later!

    Bumper Build

    You did a sweet job on this! I have been looking at some of the aftermarket ones but they are way over priced IMO at least! I might just have to try to duplicate your setup here. Thanks for posting the dimensions as it will definitely help with the mock up! If you could do a couple more I am...

    Havoc's '98 Z71 Build!!!

    With the grill painted to match the truck, it really makes the bumper stand out and gives it the aggressive look! :flamingdevil:

    Refurbishing the front suspension.

    Did you do all the work with the exception of the alignment by yourself? If so what was the average cost to do it as I am looking at having to start replacing my front end as well?

    extended cab sub woofer setup

    I am using a box I had built for my Sonoma standard cab that housed a 12" Boss sub in a ported box sitting behind the driver's seat in my K1500 right now. Planning on designing a box to fit two 12s under the back seat using a pair of Memphis Audio subs.

    More Escalade Clusters with LEDs

    What is the purpose of swapping to an Escalade cluster when switching to leds? Can they be put into a OEM cluster as well? If so is there a special number to be looking for when ordering the leds?

    Havoc's '98 Z71 Build!!!

    Where did you get your bumper? Have been looking for one similar to this but not looking to spend alot of $$ on one. Also did you have to beef up your suspension to accommodate the extra weight?

    cruising issue, kind of like a violent hiccup, 96 silverado

    I have a 96 K1500 that has a similar issue, but after scanning it with a computer found that the channels going to and from the EGR is clogged causing the shudder. Mine does it when traveling while maintaining same RPMs and not under a load like going down hill or flat ground. I have been...
