    Vortec hard start when warm

    I'm leaning into that it is not a fuel pressure issue. I just checked the fuel pressure hot and cold and it would pop up to 60 psi and run at around 55psi. Also the Delphi MPFI spider is new so i can rule out the FPR since it was part of the kit. I am going to check this. thanks! I checked...

    Best Distributor and ones to avoid

    I picked up a world power systems distributor from Rockauto when I redid my top end. It has an aluminum body and seemed to be really well made. Works like a charm and I only paid $79 for it.

    Vortec hard start when warm

    98' K1500 with a vortec 305. Truck runs really great. Except I am running into an issue where it's hard starting after it warms up. It will eventually turn if i tap the throttle only while it's warm. It fires right up in one turn when it's cold. I thought it could have been the fuel...

    ABS Brake Bleed - Scanner Tool that works?

    I went though this same thing and I just sucked it up and bought a Tech 2 clone from ebay since I need to do it at some point - I don't trust the no-name 3rd party scanners that say they can do it since it's more miss than hit. I was actually surprised with how good the quality is of the T2...

    As the title says above I want to start looking at modernizing my head unit from my AM/FM cassette deck from 1998. I heard metra sells a dash kit for a somewhat and clean looking installation. This will be paramount. I would like to keep stock speakers (at least for size) For a head unit...

    Intake Gasket Replacement

    I ran into this same issue when I did mine. I ended up cutting the pipe with a sawzall and having to use a socket and a 3' cheater bar to turn the fitting off. The fun thing is it ended up cracking the intake around the threaded part of where the EGR tube because of all the thread sealant that...

    Buying a Tech 2 Clone... Questions...

    A few photos. Overall I'm actually impressed with the quality of the components. It definitely does not seem cheapened out at all. Other people who reviewed these have said that the 12v plugs are really cheap. I found that is not at all the case. They seem well made. The other thing I'm...

    Dumb Centrelink question...

    On a K1500 center link... One side has tapered holes closer together than the other side. Does the shorter end go into the idler arm? Sorry for the dumb question! Just need to double check.

    Gas tank vent line replacement

    I got a great deal on a set of replacement fuel lines which I will be replacing soon. I figured while I was in there I would also replace the steel vent line that runs from the pump to the charcoal canister. I cannot for the life of me find a vendor who sells a prebent steel line. Is this...
