    Sudden rumbling/vibration while driving. HELP!

    Hey folks, Haven't posted anything in a while. I have an issue I need help sussing out. About 20 mins ago, while driving home from the store and merging onto the bypass, my 97 K1500 5.7 suddenly started rumbling and vibrating. At first I thought I was riding the rumble strips, because that's...

    I know this thread is a bit outdated, but I was curious which model of ac delco iridium plugs you were running? Thanks in advance (if you ever see this, that is. Haha)

    Ground G104 5.7... What is it for?

    Good afternoon everyone, I replaced/upgraded the ground straps from the passengers side rear of the engine block to the frame and the frame to the firewall. During tightening of the nut on the ground stud on the back of the head, the other ground that is connected to the same stud ,broke...

    Vortec Resonator Box (Random early morning thoughts)

    Holy S***! I really wasn't expecting this type of response, if any, to the barely conscious nonsense rattling around in my head this morning. Haha. As always, the information is greatly appreciated and it's become quite obvious in my short time here, that there's plenty of it!

    Vortec Resonator Box (Random early morning thoughts)

    Good morning all, I'm sure this horse has been beaten to death but I had a random thought driving down the road to work this morning and thought I would share... I deleted my resonator box about a month ago because I figured, hell, it's free and if I don't like it, it's easy enough to...

    Is my starter going up? Other possibilities?

    Gotcha. Those braided ground straps are getting replaced regardless. Going to do some more investigating tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

    You are correct. I've done a little research since finding it last night. It appears it COULD be my issue. Of course, there could be multiple issues. Either way, I feel like it's definitely worth replacing the ground straps. Agree?

    You guys got me thinking, so I walked outside and did a real quick inspection and came across this flat braided wire that appears to be a ground of some sort. I don't know what it is (I'm sure you folks do), but it certainly looks to be problematic.

    Have not. I suppose that wouldn't be a terrible place to start, huh? Haha

    Will do. Grounds from the starter? Or just any and all?

    Is my starter going up? Other possibilities?

    My bad...My truck is a 1997 Chevy K1500 Silverado 5.7. Battery is fully charged and I've had no reason, as of yet, to suspect that there are any issues with the alternator. I haven't actually traced every wire on the harness to inspect for damage. Everything that I've come across during...

    Good evening everyone, First, I would just like to thank everyone who helped me out a few weeks ago with my AC and cooling system issues and install questions. Both systems are 100% new and working great! You guys are awesome! Now it seems, I'm having a new issue... Since I purchased the truck...

    Cooling system flush questions

    Hey everybody, So after an arduous few weeks of burning the candle at both ends, working 10-12 hour days, prepping my house to go on the market, waiting for parts and fighting daylight, I've finally completed the install portion of my repairs. Today I began the process of flushing the cooling...
