    88-98 Service Manuals

    Just wanted to say thank you again for uploading these. Not working on a Chevy but I've come back to look at the 1998 c/k service manual. It has a great section on vibration diagnosis which is applicable to my Infiniti Q45.

    The Member Truck Thread

    The throaty sound is from the intake which was totally 100% stock besides removing the resonator box and putting a cap over the hole in the plenum. Exhaust was 100% stock at the time of that vid as well. It sounded even better after I welded pipes in place of the old clogged up cats. Man, I...

    GMT400 Parts Availability

    What would be the critical parts? Have you done any repairs on your chevy?

    Fan Clutch help

    What happened to the old clutch? Sent it in as a core? It's kind of warm in knoxville right now, but I think you should definitely be good once this cold front hits. As long as you have the water pump belt on, coolant full. Just keep the truck moving and keep an eye on the temp.

    88-98 Service Manuals

    A while ago on the piratebay there was a GM service software bootleg, with full comprehensive '97 service manuals. Torrented it. Shouldn't have deleted it off my PC when I sold my truck.

    Deleting cat=loss of low end torque?

    Should just leave the cats until they cause drivability issues. I had a Yukon which was mysteriously down on power until I had the cats removed. They clogged because it was an oil burner.

    1995 GMC Suburban k1500 chassis grounds turned to dust

    Yes start by inspecting and testing all grounds, they're known to be problematic on these trucks. Do you know how to load test a ground? A headlight bulb serves as a great test light for this.

    Chasing P0302

    Did you check the torque on all of the manifold bolts? You need to diagnose this problem before you tear into the engine, possibly creating new problems. This will leave you chasing your tail indefinitely.

    Chasing P0302

    Add leaking fuel injector to the list of possible contaminants. Have you put a scanner on it? Did you monitor compression leakdown? Maybe try fuel pressure leakdown test also. Check fuel trims with engine running. What's the plug smell like? Oil? Fuel? You should replace it as it is fouled.

    1997 GMC Yukon 5.7 4x4 rebuilt engine&transmission. Old video from when I removed the "Vortec" intake resonator box.

    Surging idle on cold start

    This is OBD1 data stream? What software did you use for this?

    Unidentified Tranny Seal - quick question

    Looks like output shaft seal. Or possibly front seal, hard to tell from pictures. Has the transmission been rebuilt already? I doubt he would skip a seal like that, many rebuild kits come with multiple variations also, leaving leftover parts.

    Truck runs like crap.

    What year is this truck? Looks like a TBI v8. Do you have any engine codes? Exhaust leaks can confuse the o2 sensors and cause problems like this.

    Limited Slip/Posi Conversion

    The G80 is pleasant off-road as it locks up easy with little wheel spin allowing you to reliably creep along. Works good on dry pavement too but sometimes feels unrefined. Doesn't work worth a Damn once it gets worn out however...

    Limited Slip/Posi Conversion

    OP it depends on what you want to do with the truck. In my experience clutched limited slip differentials have better on-road behavior especially in high friction sitations. However mechanically locking differentials, such as the automatic G80 locker are better off-road in slippery terrain IMO...
