    Losing hope

    Don't lose hope. You can diagnose this. Here is what I would do if I were in your shoes. 1. Verify the battery. I know it's new, but take the battery or the truck back to Autozone and have them load test the new battery- just to be sure. 2. If the battery is good, pull the negative cable off...

    New Crate L31 Replacement Parts

    This is not a CARB controlled part like a Catalytic Converter or EGR. It is a factory replacement part more akin to a crank sensor or distributor cap. But a much improved factory part. As PlayingwithTBI said, they would never go looking for this. With that said, you should have no issue...

    New Crate L31 Replacement Parts

    I replaced my old poppet valve spider injectors with the Standard Motor Product MPFI. I could not find a Delphi set. The SMP one installed easily and works well for me. I made sure to order the gasket set, bracket and injectors.

    Side Molding Option Route LA Custom Parts

    There is a thread on how I did that here: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/97-k1500-pickup-cup-holder.57564/page-3 Not my idea, but it worked out well; I use it all the time.

    My Flat Tappet Cam Wiped Out So I Decided To Go Roller

    For a $500 difference, I would go for the 383 if it were my money and truck. Keep the same throttle body and transmission. If they work as-is, awesome. if they don't, cross that bridge when you come to it.

    Gahh! Dang it. I told my wife I was done with the exterior! ;) Yeah, I have considered the black wheel arches, but not sure since my bumpers and wheels also have chrome. Thanks for the compliment!

    TBI still missing, failed emissions, code 34...

    What about spraying carb or brake parts cleaner to look for a potential vacuum leak?

    I used these guys for my new molding. They are great. I changed the molding and emblems to a red theme and it looks sharp. Their customer service is also very responsive.

    My Flat Tappet Cam Wiped Out So I Decided To Go Roller

    Another question: Do you really need the more power and torque from a 383? I love updated and stroked motors and cool guy parts, but what is your use case? Many times we can get into the spiral of 'just one more thing', but maybe a 355 is more than you had and is enough for this vehicle? I...

    TBI still missing, failed emissions, code 34...

    Check and recheck your vacuum line for cracks/leaks from the MAP the to throttle body. I like to use zip ties on mine just to be sure. Also re-check the vacuum lines elsewhere since the Code 34 popped up after you changed the EGR diaphram. As GoToGuy said, check out the 1994 Emission link...

    Exhaust

    Heck, just for fun, I took a crack at it and rewrote what I think he was trying to say. I cleaned it up, looked up some of his definitions, and rearranged for clarity. "I need some help everyone. I recently got pulled over in California and the police swear that my car is illegal and that I...

    What brand batteries are the longest lasting.

    I concur with the Odyssey batteries. I had one in my Grand National for 8 years with no issues. It was getting a little slow to crank so replaced it this year with another Odyssey battery. Pricey, but works out since they tend to last much longer.

    This. -You write the check once and get nearly everything you wanted. -You are already familiar with the TBI setup and layout. -You have a relationship and person to go to if there are issues instead of junkyard or online retailer. Money well spent.

    RPO Codes - Reverse Engineer

    I bought the $5 entry at Compnine.com (gave me 5 vehicles to run) last summer. I did this to get the codes for my 97. Much like you @df2x4, it came back with more robust info with 60 codes of RPOs, their descriptions, and how many vehicles had those options that year. Not sure why...
