    100 MPH Certified and 130 MPH Certified Clusters

    Question on the 110 mph clusters - if you put white bulbs/LEDs in do the numbers illuminate white like the 100mph clusters or light blue like the Esky/Denali clusters? And is it the same for both 110 mph versions? Reason I asked is I found a 110 cluster and just holding a white LED flashlight...

    Let's talk about rear gear ratio on these 1500's, mostly street driving, limited towing

    Don't know how common they were, but my 97 sales brochure lists 4.56 options in the towing guide for C/K 3500s with 5.7 and 7.4 (not diesel) Sent from my E5803 using Tapatalk

    Any 8 lug trucks running Ford wheels?

    Another of the current wheels. They're not as bad as the first pic makes it look, but it's enough to make me look at other options. Sent from my E5803 using Tapatalk

    Any 8 lug trucks running Ford wheels?

    When I got my truck it had a mis matched set of steel wheels. I quickly swapped them out for mid 2000's style 5 spoke steel wheels and didn't think about them again. But the new ones are only 6.5" wide and look like they are tucked way in under the fenders on a narrow track. And I guess it...

    Leak behind blower motor - what to tear apart next?

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I thought I would get off easy when I investigated down the fire wall and found that the grommet around the antenna cable was pushed out of the hole. But the passenger side wiring channel at the bottom of the door frame was wet after the next rain, so...

    Leak behind blower motor - what to tear apart next?

    Left a hose running on the roof and finally saw my leak in person. Stream of water running down the passenger side firewall centered behind the blower motor housing. Took off the cowel pieces and I don't see where it might be coming from from the outside . Don't want to waste time taking apart...

    97 3500 - new stock brake master cylinder or upgrade to NBS

    Was looking around under my dash yesterday and the brake pedal plunger assembly had a few dark colored drops dripping off of it on the passenger side of the firewall. In other cars this has indicated I need a new brake master cylinder. If I have to buy one anyway which way should I go - stock...

    GMT400 Picture Game!

    Not much racing going on between the snow squalls today. Sorry if this is too easy or has been done before - your truck sporting raised white letter tires. Sent from my E5803 using Tapatalk

    97 C3500 Crew Cab Long Bed SRW

    Apr 2015 - Tonneau cover Friend of mine switched from Chevy to Dodge a while back and had this tonneau cover lying around that didn't fit his current truck, so he gave it to me. bonus. Small hole from a tree branch, but only a bit of water gets in and I don't put anything in there that can't...

    How to "prove" to the inspection mechanic no airbags on 9000 gvwr

    Thanks for the replies. I do think the weight rating is the key. I didn't mention it because I didn't realize it was a factor. Got to get the windshield replaced and hopefully the regular guy is back to work by then when I go back for a 2nd try.

    97 C3500 Crew Cab Long Bed SRW

    Nov/Dec 2014 - 5.7 Vortec Engine rebuild top end GMT400 with 180k on it, I guess you all knew there was bound to be a blood and guts post at some point. I had the transmission rebuilt in 2012, but I had a trans shop do that so the only thing I have to show for it is a bill almost equal to the...

    97 C3500 Crew Cab Long Bed SRW

    August 2014 - Recover Headliner I hesitate to post this one because it was not successful. Due to the roof repair I had to take the headliner out. It smelled like cigarette smoke and was ugly and falling down, so I got a "ends and pieces" roll of vinyl from eBay and bought the (supposedly)...

    How to "prove" to the inspection mechanic no airbags on 9000 gvwr

    I found this, which is a little more official, and from that it looks like mandatory regulations didn't start until 1998, and even in 1998 had the 8600 lbs exception. But is still a web page. http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/Air+Bags/General+FAQ#2 I'll bet there's an official Virginia...

    How to "prove" to the inspection mechanic no airbags on 9000 gvwr

    I've got a 97 C3500 Cheyenne CCLB. When I got it at 183k, from a metal building construction company, the vinyl steering wheel was ugly and disgusting. So at the U-Pull-It junk yard I found a leather (or leather-like) GMT400 wheel, maybe out of a Suburban, I forget, with the airbag center/horn...
