    1998 Z71 aka my Baby

    Thanks, all the debate I keep having with myself is to remove the trim strip, on one hand I like it but it holds dirt like the fender chrome which in my opinion leads to rust? Anyone have opinions on this.

    1998 K1500 for my boy

    I agree too many kids can't even start a lawnmower, I would have loved working with my son on a truck but I was gone too much and focused on soccer and little leagues when I was home. Now we get together and work on his house and I get to catch up on what I missed. My wife (his Ma) did a great...

    1998 Z71 aka my Baby

    Well I finally did it, new wheels for my pampered ride. Couldn't beat $200 off a set of 4 Michelin tires and the wife surprised me finding a nice set of rims so she (truck) Went from 265 75 16 to 265 70 17. I like the new look.

    Look how they massacred my boy...Now what to do about it?

    For the alignment also be advised they sell different degrees of cam washers so after you clean up the knock out area if they can't get the right degree with stock hardware they should suggest new hardware if their a decent shop. I bought the tool did my own knock outs myself to save money and...

    92 K1500 stumble/hesitation while driving

    Forgot to mention that the misfire was due to two plugs being bad and I had replaced them less than a month before so checking the parts you replaced is not out of question.

    92 K1500 stumble/hesitation while driving

    I understand he doesn't have a Vortec engine, was only statiing that not having it pop a code don't mean much. It is possible for the Vortec to be out of time per say, GM says to get it as close to 0 degrees as possible but if one re installs the distributor one tooth off it will run but not at...
