    AFM DELETE PROBLEMS

    Pistons should have nothing to do with the Afm/dod delete. The system issues oil pressure to collapse 4 of the 8 lifters and manages the fuel so those pistons go ip and down without contributing to the engine out put. The control plate, the lifters and the pushrods need to be replaced, the heads...

    Lower Control Arms Help

    I don’t know about the break down by year, my 98 gmc k1500 has the original front suspension with just over 105k on it and the lowers are stamped and unfortunately delaminating due to corrosion. I have yet to pull them but they look nearly identical to my brothers 90 k1500, which are stamped as...

    4.3L 262 V6 questions

    Not true at all. V6’s can be brought to bear quite a lot of power, I’ve routinely gotten 300hp from the Buick 3.8 (231) with a bore, balance, blueprint, cam and carb update. The 4.1 Only needed the balance, blueprint, cam and carb. This is from an advertised 190hp engine. The Chevy 4.3 can...

    could this be the cause of my problem? is it safe?

    The opposite side of this diagnosis would be to smoke the intake. This is non running and checks the entire vacuum system, by filling the closed system with ester smoke, any escape route will be exposed. you can buy or make a smoke machine. definitely check YouTube for use and kit construction.

Ends are terminated with metal connections at the engine, which were bent correctly and quite literally routed and bolted up as if...

    Front Half Fuel Line Replacement

    I replaced my lines from the engine to the pump filter included and the evap line with a kit from Gas Tank Renu more than a year and 10,000 miles ago when the fuel pump quit and I had to replace it. My truck is a 1998 K1500 extended cab. I was able to remove the original line set completely...

    95 suburban puking trans fluid

    ahh, bottom of the trans, (pan?) can be a pressure leak, but an other spot, if from the under side, is from within the bell at the input shaft, that seal is where all the pressure comes from, and would be a drip type leak developing into a dynamic leak. Unfortunately any leak that is persistent...

    95 suburban puking trans fluid

    Lots of things here, but from prior experience: Does it go forward? 1st and reverse are part of the same clutch pack, (T700, 700R4, th350, th400...) no reverse and rev to get going forward or not at all spell wasted clutch packs. As noted plugged cooler lines can back out the fluid, but from the...
