    One Backfire then Stumble and surge issues

    I am an Idiot, Found the exhaust leak in under a minute. A vacuum hose was completely disconnected from the intake manifold. Simply plugged it back in and the truck was running great again. I should have seen it, right on top, however I was concentrating on the passenger side of the vehicle...

    One Backfire then Stumble and surge issues

    So only code was P1701 the suggestion the parts store computer gave me was to change my intake Manifold Gasket.... Not going to do that. looking for vacuum leaks on or leading to the intake Manifold. then moving on to fuel air ratios. would replacing the Fuel filter help that? I am probably...

    One Backfire then Stumble and surge issues

    I started My 98 with a 5.7 liter Engine. soon after Startup the Engine Backfired and then began stumbling and Surging. It runs better but the RPM's are elevated when I disconnect the MAF sensor. I replaced the MAF Sensor but that did not fix the problem. it also stops stumbling and surging when...

    Pittsburg Pneumatic Brake bleeder and Black break Fluid

    I think I need a bigger Air compressor mine is a 2 HP 8 Gallon that maxes out at 120 PSI and does not start to pressurize until it drops below 90. I dont think it maintained enough pressure to work properly.

    Pittsburg Pneumatic Brake bleeder and Black break Fluid

    yes I was able to get fluid out. I think I got ahead of myself started bleeding brakes before adjusting rear brakes completely. tonight when I got the brakes adjusted properly regular brake bleeding worked using wife and step son as brake pumpers while I bled brakes.

    What would you do?

    It is Official. I do not have power door locks :(. Now that I am going to have them installed I might as well go all the way and have a remote start put in(Wife is going to be so jealous). I guess now I need to get rid of some 3 button Key fobs I purchased.

    What would you do?

    I just purchased a1998 Chevy Silverado. I was wondering what you would do first? For example, when I purchased a 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible I was told by the forum to change the timing belt. I did not and paid the price later. I am going to list the things I have done so far and what I...

    Windshield Wipers

    would love to see this thread if you can find it, I can not. My fix would be a little simpler find a car or truck with shorter arms and use them. I believe the Spur on the Wiper motor is pretty universal. might be a difference between SAE and Metric...Maybe even Metric Europe and Metric Asian...

    Windshield Wipers

    Not sure why this bugs me but it does. the Wipers for My 98 Silverado are 18" the windshield is much larger and the lower part of the windshield stays pretty murky while driving. Has anyone done Mods to the wipers? After just looking at it I believe that if i could get wiper Arms 1" shorter or...
