    C5 Wheels on 2/4 Dropped SCSB

    Has anyone here seen this done? I may end up going lower if I get the wheels but I wanted to see what they looked like before going forward with it.

    98 C1500 5.0 TO 5.7 SWAP

    The entire butterfly valve was bigger on mine, I caught it when trying to swap over parts from the 350 tb to the 305 one since my 305 tb was in nicer shape. Idk maybe one of the many previous owners used a throttle body from a v6? Either way, worth looking into.

    98 C1500 5.0 TO 5.7 SWAP

    I recently did the swap, the throttle body was bigger on the 350 than the 305. The 350 has two catalytic converters but the maf will adjust for the extra cfm. Can't think of anything else.

    I just asked about a new reprogrammed ECU and I was told that the 305 knock module was different from the 350, is that true?

    The L31 in my truck is maybe 8 months old, I've put less than 2000 miles on it. I went with Jeg's gmperformance 350 vortec.

    NV3500 information

    Idk how the reverse lockout works, but I thought it was weird that reverse isn't synchronized on these transmissions, at least mine wasn't, I understand some were. They have the cone machined but they skip the synchro ring, the reason your gears grind when you go from forward to reverse. You...

    Very interested as well. I'm having the exact issues (254k mi) but P0301, cylinder 1 misfire. I have a brand new gm performance L31 engine, changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, rotor gear, timing re-set, new coil, cleaned injectors and manifolds, swapped plugs and wires around (P0301 stays)...

    Brake switch getting hot blowing fuses, signals clicking

    Turns out the new bulbs i put in the cab lights were incorrect, that seems to have fixed the fuse and hot brake pedal switch. Still stumped on the clicking signal relay. I don't see anywhere that looks heat affected other than the relay i swapped out.

    Brake switch getting hot blowing fuses, signals clicking

    I have a weird one, my turn signal relay was clicking without the signals or hazards on. The hazards and blinkers still work, they turn on and off as they should, but the clicking noise from the relay doesn't stop. I pulled the signal relay, and the relay's outer cover was melted. Replaced...

    Driver Rear Parking Brake Cable Adjustment?

    I just went through something similar with my driver side cable. I adjusted it and one brake was dragging, turns out the outer seating on the cable was bunching causing it to stick. If this is the case on your truck you should see a bulge in the cable where it's bunching up.

    Shimming Carrier Bearings for Backlash, How Much?

    I'm putting an Auburn limited slip in my gm 8.5" (3.42 ratio) and my backlash is currently 0.015" (too wide, ), looking to get it between 0.005-0.009". Is there a rule of thumb for how much shim I shift from the left to right to how much backlash I will reduce? I have a shim set with 6...
