    1997 5.7L Suburban radiator capacities

    I'm replacing my radiator this weekend and curious about how much coolant, oil, and transmission fluid I can expect to have to replace. I know I should do a flush and replace all the fluids, but I'm not going to, just wanna replace what gets lost. Thanks!

    1997 5.7L Direct Drive or Gear Reduction starter

    Pretty much just trying to find out which style starter it SHOULD have before I order the thing. Know the kid I bought it from had replaced it 3 times in the last 5 years, latest one burnt up after 1700 mile trip, guess the heat was too much. Dont know which style it currently has either, will...

    Audible engine noise through A/C

    1997 Suburban, 5.7L. I replaced the compressor about a month ago due to loud noises when I turned it on the first time, my first summer with this truck, no idea how long that was a thing.

    One exhaust gasket per manifold or two?

    Replacing exhaust manifolds, 97 5.7L Vortec. The manifolds came with two gasket sets per manifold. Am I supposed to combine them together or use just one? They are the compressed fiber type, metallic on one side only. Thanks

    97 5.7L Vortec: use exhaust flange springs or not

    Replacing the exhaust manifolds on a 97 K1500 Burb, 5.7L Vortec. The driver side came with those springs that go between the nut and flange, but the passenger side didnt. Neither flange had the springs on the old ones. Should I put them on the driver side or just leave them off both?

    Strange beads in 5.7L Vortec intake box

    Hi all, probably stupid question, but removed my air intake box to get to exhaust manifold and a ton of these small, tan beads spilled out of the small square box attached to the intake. Any idea what they're for? Should I put them back in? I found as many as I can, but not sure if they're even...

    '97 K1500 Suburban stalling after long drive

    Hi, first time OBS owner, longtime fan. 1997 K1500 Suburban 5.7L, 250000 miles. Had an issue yesterday that I could use a hand with. I've owned the truck for about 2 months now and had a couple issues with hard starts, like if I ran a bunch of errands then let it sit for 30 mins or so would be...
