    Oil pressure issue

    1996 k1500 with a 5.7, unknown miles on the motor. With 10-40 at operating temperature idles around 20psi. As I backed out of my driveway tonight gauge dipped to 0 and then jumped back up, oil looks good. I know the gauges have a tendency to be inaccurate, could it be the pressure sensor?

    Tire Size Question

    I'm looking to level my 1996 k1500 and I'm wondering the biggest tires I could stuff under it without trimming. Planning on doing an 18 inch wheel.

    Rough idle and down on power

    So my 5.7 Vortec is at about 180k miles and lately its been kind of idling rough and felt down on power. I got the check engine light scanned and the guy at the parts store said it could be the intake manifold gasket, from what I've seen they are notorious for going bad. Do any of you have any...

    Early 2020 update

    I got into this truck a little over a year ago. It has had a lot of stuff done to it. It's got Kicker DS speakers in it front and rear, soon to be upgraded. There is a Kicker CompVX 12 inch 2 ohm sub and a Rockville Phenom 750w Amp. Me and my grandfather built the box for the sub. Threw a cheap...

    Help Finding trim Piece

    I looked on LMC Truck and gmpartscenter, same part number but nothing on lmctruck and the wrong piece on gmpc. It's possible I'm reading it wrong but I dont believe I am. Gmpc is as close as I have gotten to finding it online.

    Help Finding trim Piece

    When I put my new speakers in the rear i found that the previous owner had taped it up, the two side pieces are broken and 4 out of 5 clip pieces are broken as well. Tape will no longer hold it up because I put a sub in

    Help Finding trim Piece

    I was looking to get a new trim piece, after me and my buddies scavenging local junk yards we were totally unable to find one. I looked up the part number off of my piece and that still came up with nothing. Does anyone know anywhere that sells it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Losing Oil Pressure?

    I'll probably end up cleaning the EGR pretty soon, and the cat is something I'm probably not gonna need because I plan on cutting my exhaust off right after the cat then hollowing them out, or getting an actual exhaust I really haven't decided

    Losing Oil Pressure?

    Ok so since I first changed the oil on my 96 k1500 with the 5.7 my idling pressure has been at 40 pounds. When I got on the truck it was 60 pounds and that didn't change with the temperature of the engine. But now, I put 10W-40 full synthetic high mileage oil in it just like every other time...

    Daily 96 K1500

    This is my daily driver K1500, there's 176k miles on the 5.7L Vortec. I haven't gotten to do a lot to it but it's functional offroad (even sitting at stock ride height) and on. I put a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires on the Pacer Warrior rims that came with the truck to replace the crappy...
