    Spongy Brake Pedal

    I did the typical bleeding, start from back to front. MC was upgraded over 3 years ago. Everything worked fine, good pedal feel, no problems at all till the time i parked it for a few days.

    Spongy Brake Pedal

    Have a 96 GMC single cab V6 stepside. Already did the MC upgrade. Parked the truck, went on vacation for 5 days, came back and tried to drive the truck and had no brakes. Pedal would go all the way to the floor. Looked underneath and there isn' t any visible fluid leaks. Do not hear any...

    Good Carpet Replacement

    Need to replace old gray carpet in single cab stepside. Whats a good company/brand to buy from? All the reviews Ive seen on the carpets available have not been good. Either they dont fit or they are not molded as claimed.

    The Cursed 96 GMC Is Back

    The Cursed 96 GMC Is Back

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Found the problem. It was a bad O2 sensor. This was kicking my a**, truck was down for over a month. Engine light never came on. Could not get any codes and tried hooking up to a buddy's scanner but his scanner could not connect or didnt have the right software which made this repair very...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    So tested the fuel pressure and thats not the problem. Its showing 17psi when starting and 17psi when its warmed up and having the idle/ power issues. Never fluctuates, a constant 17 psi. Hooked my smoke machine up and found 2 vacuum leaks. Fixed those and still have the problem. So it was...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Check this out. Obviously this is not normal. I punch the accelerator real fast and the rpms seem to take forever to come down. Bad TPS? Ive replaced it already, maybe a crappy part. I replaced it a year ago and worked perfect. Started having same issues a few weeks ago and replaced the TPS...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Ive been looking for a fairly decent priced OBD1 scanner but i cant find one. Do the OBD1 scanners give live data info the same way as an OBD2 scanner? I have an OBD2 scanner, i keep coming across adapter cables to adapt the OBD2 to a OBD1 but all have bad reviews. Is that even possible? All...

    Erratic Idle when warm

    Dumb question how the heck would i check that? Use multimeter to that pin 4, one lead to the pin ,one to a ground and see if im getting a constant 5 volts.? Cant i just test it from the connector itself that goes to the ECT and TPS when truck is acting up? Or is it a more accurate reading...
