    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    Thanks for the suggestion I saw a link posted a while ago that has since gone dead. Not sure which ones on there now are reliable and the ones I have recently found all say for cars only, not trucks

    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    The Autel MaxiCheck pro scan tool WILL NOT perform the ABS function test on GMT400 It does not have the ability to communicate with the Kelsey Hayes module Looks like I am going to be shelling out the BIG bucks for a Tech2

    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    The valve on the ABS unit is now stuck out and won't budge. That is how I found it with a bit of fluid inside the black cap Maybe that has something to do with my issues Hopefully the whole module isn't wrecked I just ordered the Autel MaxiCheck pro scan tool because it can supposedly run the...

    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    Worth a shot. The truck is still on the lift. I have not even put it in gear since starting this upgrade conversion 8 months ago

    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    My thought process is leading me towards the ABS unit having something gummed up and needs to be run with the fancy scan tool OR the combination of AC Delco GMT400 master cylinder with Rock Auto vacuum booster has something out of whack. I bled the Kelsey Hayes unit as much as possible with the...

    Everything is new. Brakes hoses, calipers, CV axles. There were no Astro vans in the junkyards for 500 miles

    NBS/Astro knuckle brake upgrade.

    I finally got everything installed and swapped over on my truck It is still up on the lift, but I have run into the strangest issue The front calipers spun completely free at first and everything seemed great Now the two sides alternate building pressure and locking up after releasing the brake...

    How did you make out with this swap? I ran into that terrible roadblock that is Winter before being able to complete all the work on my truck. What did you manage to do for the brake line fittings? -Kevco

    Lets's talk Corrosion, a.k.a. Rust!

    The bane of my existence! I can feel my truck crying as Fall comes to an end every year and the salt monster comes back for another bite. But after seeing how bad those rockers, or yet lack there of, I feel my truck is actually still pretty sturdy considering

    Dual Exhaust Question

    How was the dual exhaust mounted on your Suburban? I have always wondered if you could make it work and I also dropped in a 383 But the 43 gallon tank, torsion bars and crossmembers made dual pipes too tricky

    1997 K1500 Suburban vacuum diagram

    I never drove my truck with the stock motor on the road, only to get in around the yard and into the garage. My HT383e was only $3400 (I think) since I had a commercial loading dock to send it too for GREATLY reduced shipping costs. I bought it as the "Truck re-power kit" from GM and they call...

    1997 K1500 Suburban vacuum diagram

    I had been looking to see what I was able to find for manuals. I saw posts linking to downloads here as well. But 1997 is a ******* year of GM mix and match or one off configurations it seems. I have not been able to find that specific one, always missing on everyone's list. Finding 95 & down is...

    1997 K1500 Suburban vacuum diagram

    What year is this diagram for? That is noticeably cracked and rigged back together on my truck My 1997 has a round EVAP canister, any difference? I have a 98 Tahoe kinda parts truck and noticed the smaller square canister
