Rust Repair and overall restoration

Hey guys. This is a bit of a broad question, but I’m looking for some advice. I am the second owner of my 97 extended cab 4x4. Had it since I was 15, and still runs strong. It’s still my daily driver, and while she runs strong, stuff is just starting to wear out. I have 2 young kids now, and I’d...

97 Power Steering EVO delete

I recently removed the power steering pump from my 97 K1500 5.7. I had to cut the pressure hose to get it out. The pump I ordered has the EVO bypass installed, but I don’t see an option for a stock ‘EVO’ type hose. I read in another thread to order a conventional pump and hose from a 96? Is this...

10 bolt limited slip to open

Thanks for the response Richard. Definitely seems like the 14 bolt is the popular opinion here. 2 quick questions: will the spring perches have to be moved, and will the driveshaft need to be shortened? The donor does not have the driveshaft

10 bolt limited slip to open

Good afternoon all, I am new to this forum, and it looks like you guys really know your stuff, so I am hoping for a little help. I have a 97 K1500 with 3.73 gears that blew the ‘clutch?’ gears out of the 10 bolt limited slip on a slow left turn. I am wondering the pros and cons of the...
