    97 K1500 No Power to Fuel Relay

    My 97 will turn over, but it will not start, I took a test light to the fuel pump plug on the frame and got no power when the key is in the on position, or when the truck is cranking. So I pulled out the fuel pump relay and took a test light to the terminals for the relay on the distribution...

    Lake Pipe/Sidepipe Pictures

    I'm thinking I'd like to stick some chrome sidepipes on my '93 RCLB. Has anyone here done this or have any pictures of a truck with them on it?

    93 RCLB With 454 3/4 Drop

    I'm not real experienced with drop kits, so I figured I could find someone on here with more knowledge than myself. I'd like to do a 3/4 drop on my 93 RCLB C1500. I've pulled out the original 5.7 and replaced it with a 454. I know that the front springs will need to be changed to compensate for...

    My '71 Monte Carlo SS

    I figured I'd start a thread for the partial rebuild I did on my Monte a few years ago. This is basically how she started. A numbers matching 454/TH400 car. It was in pretty good shape, but she was tired, and well overdue for a cleanup.

    Low Beams Only When Steering Wheel is Tilted All the Way Up??

    I just bought a 98 K1500, and like the title says, the low beams only work when you have the steering wheel tilted all the way up. DRLs work fine, and the high beams work no matter what position the steering wheel is in. I was doing some reading and I think that I might have to replace the...

    7.4 Vortec Heads on 454

    This might be a pretty basic question, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if 454 Vortec heads will fit on an older TBI 454 block. I know I'd need to get a vortec intake, and I'd also like to do a carb swap, so could I even get a 7.4 vortec carb intake? I'm not trying to get a massive amount of...

    NV4500 Vacuum Line Location

    Hey guys, quick question for you. The clutch in my nv4500 was slipping, so I dropped the tranny and replaced the clutch. I got everything reinstalled no problem, except for the vacuum line that on the top passenger side of the transmission that runs the 5th gear overdrive. I forgot to remove it...

    Tranny Options For a 383?

    I've really been considering buying this crate 383 from GM: http:// http://m.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines/small-block-ht-383.html#.VURS1XZlA0N My original plan was to put in a t56 to replace my NV3500 when I finally get around to dropping in a new engine, but then I got to...

    Muffler Opinions Wanted!

    So I currently have a stock 2.5 inch exhaust on my truck. I have cut out the cat, and thrown on a Cherry Bomb glass pack in place of the original muffler. All in all, it sounds pretty good, but I think I'm going to do a true dual setup with an H pipe. I'm going to keep the stock manifolds, but...

    Newbie Question About Swapping 10 Bolt to 14

    Sorry if this question has been asked before! I am thinking that somewhere along the line I might want to swap out the 5.7 in my 93 for a 454. If I do this I'd like to put in a 14 bolt rear end instead of the original ten bolt, but I would want to keep the five lug wheel pattern. Would my...

    New Guy From Alberta

    Hey guys, I've been lurking around the site and figured that I'd introduce myself! I've got a 1993 GMC C1500 which has been my obsession for a while. The site has been a huge help in getting my truck up to par. It's currently got a bone stock 5.7 and an NV3500, but my eventual plans include a...
