    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...

    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...

    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...

    1996 K1500 Intermittent No Shift

    So, at the tail end of winter, I found out that every now and then my truck will just not shift. I was in the highway and I felt the truck jolt a bit, and my tach was pegged at 0, and my Speedo pegged at 100 (i was doing about 80, so gravity just took it there.) and the rpms audibly got high, as...

    Truck Sputtering and a dying

    The truck in question is a 1996 K1500, with a 350 vortec and 4L60e trans. So, I was on my way out of town, only about an hour drive, and about 15-20 minutes away from the hotel, I noticed the truck didn't seem to want to accelerate, so I decided to pull over. As I did, it started surging...

    Dad's 1978 Yamaha DT400

    My dad had this bike since the 70s, and I have memories have him taking me around the block on this bike. Now that I'm of driving age, I've been wanting a bike of my own, but don't have money or a license for one, so I decided to get the Yamaha running. I started this a month or so again, but I...

    Air Impact Help

    Busted Fuel Line

    So, my 96 K1500 had a fuel line that had a small leak on it right near the gas tank, I was told it should be fine for the winter, and it was something I was saving up to fix. Well, pulling into the driveway, the line started dumping fuel, obviously needing to be fixed right away. I don't have...

    Adam's 1996 K1500 Z71

    I recently picked up a 1996 Z71, extended cab, short bed for a new daily driver. I have grown up with my dad's 1994 step side silverado, I believe that's why I love these trucks so much. My truck has 260,000 miles, and as far as I know it's also been a northern truck, so it's a little rough...
