    Flickering electrical

    So I took the alternator off and had it tested. They said it was good. They even started to put it back on and test it on the truck. So I did. Well it shows good and wouldn’t you know it, there was no flickering of any kind. I’m wondering if disconnecting the battery and the alternator...

    Flickering electrical

    My 98 k1500 has flickering lights all around. Headlights, dash and even the fuel pump sounds like it’s going in and out with the lights. It has a new battery and the alternator has not been checked. Electrical power is good. All connections are tight on the battery. Starts up just fine and...

    Replace motor mounts???

    Yup! Just undo one side at a time and jack it up! Replace it and repeat the other side. That’s how dealers do it too and they will charge you an arm and a leg for it also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    spark plugs

    My personal experience on my 98 with a 350, it doesn’t like the platinum AC Delco plugs. I tried them twice in the time I’ve had this truck and they burn out fast for some reason. If I go back to the just the factory AC Delco plugs, they will last a long time and not burn out. Totally...

    Dorman wiper arms?

    I’d say you shouldn’t have a problem with them. After all it won’t cost you that much to try them out! They’re just wiper arms and not a long block. I say go for it. JMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cruise Control and Windshield washer fluid motor works sometimes

    I hate messing with electrical stuff. I personally would be it tested before replacing parts. Don’t want to buy something that may not be needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cruise Control and Windshield washer fluid motor works sometimes

    I had/have the same issue. Had to replace my motor for the washer fluid and my cruise still doesn’t work. I have to get that part diagnosed still. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel play

    Has anyone tried the Doorman replacement for the rag joint? It completely replaces that material and it’s all metal. Little pricey but is it worth it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel play

    I know for sure I have to replace the lower ones on the right side and will just do both lower one while I’m at it. The uppers have been replaced already. The sloppy steering wheel is not only while driving but while it sits too. I haven’t confirmed it yet but it looks to be leaning towards...

    Fan shroud

    Take it off and paint it! Lot of prep work being that it’s rough textured already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5.7 vortec mpg

    I’ve had this truck since 2000. It now has a new motor from the dealership (crate motor) and it needed new injectors one day as well. The truck will average on a regular day, 13 in the city and that was both prior to the new motor and now. Fortunately now it’s not my daily driver so I never...

    5.7 vortec mpg

    Thats me majorly feathering the pedal too bro. Other then that I’m sure on a normal day with a slightly heavier foot, the MPG will diminish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
