    HeadLights & TailLights Suggestions ---- Best Quality & Brightest Full Time ParkLights

    I keep seeing people complain about LED lights. Most vehicles come with them now from the factory. My truck is normal factory height and I installed LED lights but I also took the time to aim them properly. It's been over four years and I have never had anyone flash their lights at me, and the...

    Center console? Cup holder? Latch replacement?

    One of them durn things that still let's you hear music after the internet goes down, and cell towers all fall over. :anitoof: There's just something about having a hard copy of your music library.

    Center console? Cup holder? Latch replacement?

    I have the same and it's a CD holder. I had no idea there was a cup holder that fit the same location so I just ordered one. Much better than that stupid dash mounted one that's great at dumping coffee.

    97 C1500 5.7

    3500 stall for a daily driver? I had one of those for all of one day, because the in town driveability was terrible. This was after I specifically told the transmission shop that I wanted a 2200 stall converter. I made them put in the 2200 and it was a whole different experience, smooth...

    Vicious 1-2 Shift on 4L60E.

    I have a 97 with a 4L60e that was supposed to have been rebuilt. I drove it for a couple weeks when I got it and it began shifting hard from first to second. Forgive me as I don't really know the component terms, but the technician checked everything, and the problem was line pressure was not...

    5W30 or 10W30, synthetic or traditional? Opinions wanted

    Yeah but you are forgetting that they only offered warranties for so long, and certainly not high milers. My motor is nearing 260K so you can bet that clearances are a tad bigger than when the motor was new and tight. For that reason I use something a bit thicker as in 5W40 and that's on the...

    1997 GMC Sierra SLE C1500 5.7L Header recommendation?

    Thanks for the tip on mini cat del fix kennythewelder. Sure glad I live in Canada as I found it at Walmart on sale and it cost me just under $14 so at least for the time being that's a lot cheaper than a tune on a motor I'll be removing. Thank you all for the responses.

    1997 GMC Sierra SLE C1500 5.7L Header recommendation?

    Update: So I have my headers (Pacesetter long tube) and got them ceramic coated, and I'm going to have true dual exhaust with a crossover and all 2 1/2" pipe from the headers back. What I'm wondering at this point is if anyone has done this to their truck and what mufflers did you use? I like...

    88-94 vs. 95-98 Interior Debate

    I've had two of the older style and now have a 97 Sierra SLE newer style. I have to say that I agree in regards to the crappy in dash cup holder that's useless for driving. Besides that though I much prefer the newer style mostly because the dash allows enough room to fit a double DIN into it...

    1997 GMC Sierra SLE C1500 5.7L Header recommendation?

    Hello, I am hoping to find a set of long tube headers (preferably tri Y) that will bolt right on without fitment issues. Has anyone accomplished this? I've looked quite a bit and have not come across an applicable part number, and have even asked Summitt without any success. Short style I am...

    Newbie Question: HVAC and Light Controls

    My truck is a 97 but I replaced the HVAC control panel with a unit from Rock Auto and have had no issues. Headlight switch is always lighted with key on and the others come on with park light setting or headlights turned on.

    Speaker upgrade suggestions

    I am using a Soundstream Rubicon 5 channel amplifier that I've had for over twenty years and love the sound of. Since I was using that I ran an 8 gauge wire directly from the battery to a fuse a few inches away, and then on to the amp. Ground wire is also 8 gauge and within two feet of the amp...

    Speaker upgrade suggestions

    I agree totally. Round speakers will always outperform oval shape or square shape. I've got a 97 extended cab and installed 6.5" Focal components in the front doors, and Infinity 4" components in the back. For base there's a 12" sub in a box. made for under the seat behind the driver and I...
