    Adam's 1996 K1500 Z71

    Well, for the few that actually cared and followed and what not, I got rid of the truck a while ago. Last October I was headin to a wedding and the rpms were being weird, so I was messing around with it trying to decide what it was. About half way there, I look up in the review mirror and I was...

    Intake Gasket Replacement

    Might be a good time for a quick tune up, if it's something you haven't done yet. You're going to have to pull the distributor anyway. Doing at least the EGR gasket wouldn't be a bad idea either, it's kind of tough to get to with everything else on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    EGR Hose Replacement

    A year or so ago, I put a kink in my EGR hose when I was doing my intake gaskets. Naturally, I decided to wait until a couple months before I need to get emission tested to fix it. I put a new lower intake on when I did my intake gaskets, so I'm not worried about that coming out, I'm more...

    Bedlining Bumpers

    I'm sorry to say, the new, freshly lined grille lasted from last Friday, to Thursday. I decided it'd be a good idea to rear end someone. Pretty minimal damage to me, but the grille did suffer, haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bedlining Bumpers

    Used the duplicate aerosol bed armor in my grille last weekend, and I personally love the way it came out. I'll be sanding down the bumpers and coating them later on. I'm really happy with how it turned out, thanks for the help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Awesome, thank you very much for taking the time to help out. I'll pick some up and try it out, when I get the chance to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bedlining Bumpers

    I'm sorry man, I promise I'm not trying to be difficult or anything, but all of the links for Bed Armor I'm seeing say rubberized. Unless I'm looking at the wrong stuff, or not filling understanding something. There's one not labeled as bed armor that doesn't say anything about being rubberized...

    Bedlining Bumpers

    I'm looking into the duplicolor stuff now. What's the problem with the rubberized version? And how coats are you guys doing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bedlining Bumpers

    Do you recall how many cans you went through? What did your prep include? My cousin has a sandblasting that he's going to let me use, would that be enough, or do I need to go further than just that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bedlining Bumpers

    I would love to do LineX, but this is something I'd like to do in a day or so at my cousin's, so I can use his sand blaster, and not have to drive around without bumpers. I know I'll be sacrificing quality, but the few hundred I'll save from that will be put into maintenance to keep the truck...

    Front Crank Seal

    The truck in question is a 1996 k1500 Z71 with a 350 vortec. I'd like to keep my truck around for a little while, so my spring plans include knocking out some oil leaks, which includes the front timing and crank seal. My issue with that is that rockauto shows a "first design seal" which is...

    Bedlining Bumpers

    Hey guys, when I got my truck, the bumpers were painted black, and I like the way that looks a lot better than the chrome. As it tends to do, the painted chrome is peeling, and I would like to recoat them with bedliner. I want to know what you guys use to bed line your bumpers, grilles, and...

    Figured some fellow 400 fans would appreciate this. I was at work today, and someone goes "hey Adam, there's someone taking pictures of your truck." And I walk to the window and see this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adam's 1996 K1500 Z71

    Haven't done a whole lot to the truck lately, I put some new head lights on, and I got a new grille, that will be prepped, sandblasted, and bed lined, along with the bumpers, and a light bar that will be going behind the grille, for Christmas. Those will be spring projects, though. Also, i was...

    Headlights won't turn on

    Hey everyone, I have a 1996 K1500. On colder days, if I turn on the headlights, they wouldn't always come on away, there be kind of a buzzing noise and I would have to turn the switch on and off a few times. It's usually fine on warmer days though. I thought it was something was just going to...

    I never knew they did that, haha. That worked, I guess that just proves I still have sooooo much to learn. Thank you very much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Okay, I tried two different coils, and two different plugs, and the plugs won't fit into the coil. I feel like this may be a dumb question, but does that little pin thing need to come out of the coil? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you mean about cutting? I was just going to disassemble them, get them machined, probably a valve job, new springs, lifters, and push rods Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dad's 1978 Yamaha DT400

    I went ahead and there the tank on as is, there's a filter/strainer on the petcock, and of course an online fuel filter, it should be fine for now. The bike still wouldn't start. The spark plug was pretty fouled, so there was an obvious no spark, and I went ahead and orders a new coil and plug...

    Adray's 1999 Z28

    I'd like to get them cleaned up, machines, and rebuild them for the experience, and to just feel a little better about them. They're off an 08 LS4, is there much of a difference between those and LS6 243s? As for parts, I work at a GM dealer, so once the strike lets up, I plan on getting...

    Adray's 1999 Z28

    I haven't made much progress, I have the headers, motor mounts, hardware, and gaskets and stuff, I just need the rest of the exhaust before I do all of that, but my union is on strike, so I've been trying to be careful with my money until all is said and done. That being said... I bought a set...

    Dad's 1978 Yamaha DT400

    So, as mentioned in the previous post, some of the coating inside the tank came out, and I can see more inside the tank coming up. I was told about Red Kote gas tank sealant, and I'm going to try that, but does anyone have any suggestions on getting the rest of the current coating in the tank...
