    Front wheels won't spin, stuck brakes?

    @Supercharged111 Yeah, I've done that before with cars/trucks I've had parked over the winter but this truck's been standing in the same spot for 3 years. After I cleaned up the rotors with a wirewheel they still have deep pitting, especially were the pads were stuck. And a question... I got...

    Front wheels won't spin, stuck brakes?

    A little update. So regarding the prices, I only converted Swedish money to Dollars, $1 is about 8.69 SEK, things cost more here but we also have a much higher average income than the US so the $385 is actually not that bad, the rotors for my Volvo (also big brakes) cost twice what the once...

    Front wheels won't spin, stuck brakes?

    Like @thegawd said, I live in Sweden and while US car/truck parts are cheap to us, especially if you have a friend who imports said parts for a living since taxes are deductible for companies here, there is still custom fees (22%) and shipping cost ($$$$$). These prices are from a local company...

    Front wheels won't spin, stuck brakes?

    Thank you all so much for your replys! I read all the posts yesterday and panicked a bit because it all seemed really difficult, I've never changed or worked on brakes before but I want to learn, just don't have anyone to teach me around here. But I found a couple videos on youtube on changing...

    Front wheels won't spin, stuck brakes?

    My truck has been parked for about 2 years now and I think the brake pads are rusted stuck to the rotors. I jacked the front up (both wheels of the ground) and tried spining them and they won't move one bit. Also tried with trans in neutral if the 4x4 somehow affects it but nope. Anything else...

    GM paint code to RAL code

    This might be a kinda weird question but does anyone know which RAL code WA303D (GM Bright Blue Metallic) is, or the closest match as possible? I’m looking at raptorlining the bed of my truck and want the color as close a match as possible.

    MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

    Thanks guys, can't take credit tho since it wasn't my idea. :) I like that it breaks things up a bit too and it doesn't look need-to-puke-everytime-I-see-it-awful but it doesn't match with anything else on the truck, everything is blue, black or chrome/silver and I'm a bit OCD about that. It'll...

    buying new chevy grill? keep eye out for this.....

    Wow... that looks terrible! I just got a new grille because someone ripped my original one to pieces. It was replaced with a paintable one but I don't know what brand mine is, it looks like the oem one with the whole bit around the emblem tho. Both the chrome and paintable once listed at the...

    MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

    My wipers work but randomly quit and than randomly start working again, sometimes by themselvs and sometimes I have to turn off/on the truck. I've tried just smacking that box and when I started the truck again they worked but who knows if it made a difference. Problem is tho, this always...

    MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

    @Triplel40 Sorry for the ridiculously late replay. Thanks, it's a definitly a color that stands out, I like it alot too! :) What happent to it was someone somehow figured out there was a 32" LED bar behind the top grille insert and tried to steal it. Since it's mounted from the inside of the...

    MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

    Got an appointment at a US car & truck shop in about 2 weeks, hopefully we can figure out why my airbag light is on. Anyways, the other day I had to get some gas for the old lady so I figured I'd share what we pay in Sweden right now. In Swedish money it's 950kr for 74 liters (12.82kr/L). In...

    MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

    Honestly I can't remember if I have or not, but I think I did... I will try again tho. That's what I thougt, I was mostly wondering if either disconnecting (and connecting) the pass. side airbag switch or replacing parts in the steering column would make some airbag related code pop-up that...
