    Interior metal door panel hardware

    Hello - 1998 k2500 5.7L 267,000miles I have been messing with the driver side door for awhile, replaced the latch assembly and exterior handle. Had it back together except for one pushrod, waiting on some retainer clips to show up. Yesterday the window came off the track while I was rolling it...

    Retainer clip alternatives for door pushrods

    Right, it seems like I have to put it halfway on at first, slide the pushrod though, then slide the retainer slip into position, locking the rod in? When I put it on halfway, I always end up knocking it off fumbling around blind inside the door before I can get the rod in and slide it the rest...

    Retainer clip alternatives for door pushrods

    YES!!!! I would absolutely be most grateful, mine is a 1998 k500, 5.7L. I can see that this has to be the exact right one or it won't lock the rod in properly

    They're not, although I did reuse one of them I believe that was in decent condition.

    Retainer clip alternatives for door pushrods

    1998 K2500 Howdy folks - I come to you with freshly scabbed over hands, and a fair bit of discouragement, although progress has been made. At present, I can lock and unlock with a key, but the pushrod to attach to the interior door lock is not attached. I have picked up the retainer clip many...

    serpentine belt tension 5.7L

    Hi gents - 1998 K2500 5.7L 255,000miles. Lots of parts replaced, and overall very pleased with mileage I've gotten out of it as a reliable daily driver this year, since changing head and intake gaskets last March. I look over the engine every time I check the oil, which is about every other time...

    Bolt size?

    1998 k2500 5.7L - does anybody happen to know off top of your head what size bolt holds the front brake line braket to the top of the steering knuckle structure? Installing new ones. Thanks, Tommy

    Why is this bolt wet?

    And yes, I know my brake lines are a mess and out of the bracket, it's on the list.

    For the record, it was my buddy Kelly that did the weld, not me.

    Why is this bolt wet?

    Fair point. I guess my question really is whether it's a problem people have seen where the actually steering box or it's mounts or whatever break and fluid seeps onto the bolts. I'm going to pull it this weekend and look at it, that'll probably clear it up, and the box has only been in for like...
