    LED Gauge Install

    I know this was posted about 14 Years ago, but I don't have time to read 94 Pages in this thread. o_O Does anyone know if this was resolved? I'd like to swap out my gauge cluster lights with LED, but not if it means they will be full bright all the time.

    NBS rear disc brakes on OBS 10 bolt

    Sorry for necroposting, but this thread came up in a search. I wanted to mention that Cunningham Machine makes the necessary 20MM spacer to install NBS rear discs on an OBS, but it's not cheap. https://cunninghammachine.com/gm-10-bolt-with-11-drum-20-mm-spacer-for-nbs-rear-brake-conversion/

    1995 350 TBI no crank when cold

    Thanks for all the detailed suggestions. I’m not trying to downplay anything here, and maybe I’m just being ignorant, but why would it start 100% of the time when the weather is above about 10 degrees F, but have an intermittent failure below that? We haven’t had a lot of frigid cold days...

    1995 350 TBI no crank when cold

    Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention; The side terminal bolt was stripped out so I converted it to a top post. I did have to cut away an inch or so of the cable to get back to clean copper. I'm 90% sure my battery cables are good, but I will definitely check the voltage at the starter...

    1995 350 TBI no crank when cold

    I am having an intermittent issue with my 95 Tahoe. It has done this Twice now this winter. Both times the temperatures were around 0 F / -18 C. When I try to start, I get no crank. I can hear the starter engage, but the engine just won't turn over. The first time it did this, I tried to...

    UV Dye safe for transmission?

    I checked the overflow tank and the top of the radiator. Coolant looks clean.

    UV Dye safe for transmission?

    It's been undercoated with Surface Shield to keep the Michigan Cancer at bay, so the entire undercarriage is oily. This makes it difficult to see where it's leaking. I definitely have a leak somewhere though because it's at least two quarts low on fluid, and it's only been about 7,000 miles...

    UV Dye safe for transmission?

    Does anyone have experience with the UV Dye that they claim you can add to your transmission to help identify leaks with a UV Flashlight? Is this stuff safe for the transmission?

    3.0L Duramax Swap

    I just learned that this motor has a rear gear train, so all the accessories are smashed against the firewall. Included in that is a Oil Pump Belt that has be be changed every 150K to 200K miles. To change that belt, you have to drop the transmission!!! GM Engineers giving the .|.. to the...

    3.0L Duramax Swap

    Hello fellow GMT400 enthusiasts. My Brother-in-law recently picked up a used 2023 Silverado 1500 with the 3.0L Duramax Diesel. He says he can get 30 MPG with that little motor, and it cranks out nearly 500 Ft-lb of torque through a 10 speed transmission. This got me thinking.... I've seen...

    Headlight cover clips

    That's good to know. My old clear headlights had the clips, and those clips were some of the only rusty parts on the truck. I bought some factory style replicas and those also have the clips. Of course, being in Michigan, those have to be covered with Surface Shield or Fluid Film to prevent...

    The Member Truck Thread

    I had a spot of rust on one of my tow hooks, so I painted them red (body color match). I think it was an improvement. The Wife doesn't like it... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
