    1996 K2500 Sub L29 454 Hesitation off idle

    I think I read something by @L31MaxExpress where he said that it is part of the stock tune. It's annoying though, for sure.

    OBS to NBS MC upgrade questions

    Both of your suburbans have/had hydroboost. Your '01 suburban had disc brakes in back. Your 99 has rear drums, and they require periodic adjustment. If you're not doing them yourself, make sure and get them tightened up whenever it's in for any other service, like oil changes or whatever. It's...

    Another 454 Vortec Build Thread - Documenting, Q&A, Help

    The lower intake gaskets might be a good idea while you're in there. They are a known service item on those engines.

    Stock was 204/209, 480's and a 118 yes, I want a wide split on duration and not as much lift

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    And I'll second that opinion from @fisher on the exhaust. Can't say I've had an intake that has made a difference, and I've tried a few, although I do have a Volant in a box to try. But exhaust matters imo. After having been thru a few of these L29's, I've pretty much settled into leaving the...

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    I'd suggest starting your own thread for the truck so we don't sidetrack this one too far off course. It will help you keep track of everything in one place.... very handy. I can't tell what gears you have from that list. Is the actual spid sticker in the glovebox?

    Thinking GMT400 3500 Dually for Track Day Towing, Thoughts?

    And here I am about to pull the trigger on the exact opposite, downsizing to 235/85r16 on rears with 265/75r16 up front. Are you using a spacer for the 265's in back?

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    How many miles are on it? Hopefully, those are original seats which would mean fairly low miles. And it's fairly rust free considering it's a Michigan truck (rockers don't count). Those vortec 454's need the stock injectors replaced, if they haven't been already, and then lower intake manifold...

    '99 c2500 Burb fun

    Yep, the Bilstein (B6 4600) 24-024198 are for K2500 rears. The C2500 rears is 24-024235. Not sure what the difference is though. Found out yesterday that the brake hoses on K3500 differ between Chevy and GMC... no idea why on that one either.
