    4 Hi Headlight Mod

    Yep, HUGE difference. I cut the 9005 and 9006 plugs off on one side and used the positive feed from each to trigger the two relays.

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Living the same thing right now. Around 1500 rpm. Shakes you apart under light acceleration. Several have said it is fuel injectors. One gets stuck open, floods out cylinder at low rpm is fine when under serious load because that's what it would be calling for. I've got a 97 also. Guess the...

    411 swap factory tune

    Lextech specifically mentions the van tune as a base point. I think it was one of the few vehicles available with the vortec 5.7 and 0411. For someone tuning themselves that would be the starting point. You may be ok.

    anyone derby??

    I did one years ago. One of the funnest things I've done. Was at a monster truck show, had tough trucks in the intermissions. This was going on on Friday and Saturday. Probably 10 or so entries pretty even mix of full blown race trucks and beaters like I had plus one guy dumb enough to bring out...

    What did you do to your offroad truck today?

    Been picking off something every other weekend or so. My 97 Z71 will be my son's first truck next year, so getting little things done to make it right. So far this month, the two projects we've tackled have been the best two improvements to the truck so far. Last week 4-hi mod. Actually the...

    12200411 PCM swap for 1996 to 2000 GMT400 trucks

    Does anyone have a good way to get ahold of lextech? Tried reaching out to him twice, but his bio says he hasn't been on forum since July. If someone could pm me his email, or if anyone else has reliable repin spreadsheets

    Upper corner lights

    I'm down. Bought truck just as a hauler for me 2 years ago. Cleaned it up and fixed a couple issues but nothing special. Son just turned 15 and has decided he wants it for his first vehicle. So him and I have started tackling the little customization stuff. Plan is to have motor/paint/lift...

    4 Hi Headlight Mod

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. Yes my main power will come from the battery. I just meant to trigger the relay. The orange wires with fuse holders are for power direct to battery. The yellow and blue are the two to trigger the relays.

    Upper corner lights

    How is everyone wiring this setup up? I feel like the best looking, would be for all 4 lights to function as parking lights and also as blinkers. Is that correct?

    4 Hi Headlight Mod

    So I built my harness this week. Pretty confident I have everything right. Relay for both high/low beam. Diode going from feed that triggers high relay, to feed that triggers low relay. So when highs are on both relays get triggered. My only question, instead of tying in at headlight switch, or...

    Vortec 5.7 Rebuild

    I grew up riding dirt bikes, so always changing my own oil and wrenching on stuff. After moving from away from home, let a lot of that stuff go, so my son hasn't had much interest in any garage work until now. Pretty excited to see the interest and time he is willing to put in on "his" truck.

    Vortec 5.7 Rebuild

    I definitely think it is worth it. I can pick up a fully rebuilt engine 15 minutes from my house for $1100 (about 1/2 of new). Or like Eskimo said, it gives my son and I something to work on and for still less than the $2000, will probably have a much better motor with improved cam, etc. I...

    Vortec 5.7 Rebuild

    Just read the write ups with the PCM swap. Seems like if I'm going to do a cam, etc will get much better results with ability to tune. I don't have my own tuner or plan to get one, but would use local shop to do tuning. Also like the idea of having the ability to have dual tunes for towing...

    Vortec 5.7 Rebuild

    Ok, guys I've been lurking for almost two years now since I picked up my 97 K1500 Z71 just to have something to haul stuff. Truck had 280K miles on it and I picked it up for $1400, with a fresh transmission. Very first step was replacing the A/C. Since then just tried to make the interior a...

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    I have a 98' 5.7 with about 300,000 miles on it. I just got access to a 92 suburban, motor has less than 5,000 miles on complete rebuild, when they wrecked it. The motor is free if I want it. Is the main block the same? I know my vortec has different intake manifold etc, but can I use that...

    Newbie from Louisiana

    Thanks for the welcomes! Well, the rain is never going to stop, so I guess I will post a pic just the way it is. Got the new power steering lines replaced yesterday and installed trailer hitch and plug today. Friday will be a full walk through on the brakes. Been reading up on the NBS master...

    Newbie from Louisiana

    Well, I figured it was time to register since I finally bought my truck. 1997 Extended Cab 4x4. Been needing an extra truck for awhile now. Decided I wanted a 88-98 chevy. Looking for info online came across this forum. Needless to say I've spent hours reading already. The first few I...
