    ‘95 cab and chassis donor for ‘97

    Have you found much information or is there another thread on this? I have a 97 ecsb 2500 454 no third door, the interior including dash wiring everything good but the cab is very rotten. I just found an 88-94 extended cab in good shape for $250 cab only and wondering if it will work for my 97...

    OEM Keyless entry Retrofit

    Any headway on this topic? I just started cleaning up my 97 k2500 454 extended cab short bed 4 wheel drive. I had an extra fob tried putting it into program mode and it wouldn't. Which lead me to researching this and what the crap is AU3 code. Why would gm put power locks on a vehicle and then...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    Ridetech has great stuff which is why they are expensive. I was looking at that rear kit for my truck but they told me it wasn't for 1 ton dually or not even though they have a 14 bolt option on the center link bracket. I assume those rear air shocks won't handle any kind of load.

    That sounds right, like I said the guy had a real attitude obviously had enough business. I'd rather drive an hour away to go to another store that they don't own. Thanks

    Valve seals

    I have done the heads on one of my other ones and I noticed that there is no adjustment. I bought comp cams roller tip rockers and the stud kit for it but was advised not to use them so I just put the stock ones back on it. I also noticed the push rods were somewhat clogged so I cleaned them...

    Valve seals

    Hey guys, I'm going to attempt this on my 2000 obs 454 1 ton. I assume there is not any different procedure then the 350? Should I consider changing the springs also? The truck has nearly 300,000 miles, I have no history on the truck like engine replacement etc. other than carfax. It always...

    I have a few more tanks and pumps so I'll add another set. I'm using 3/8 dot fittings and plastic tube, do you use a water trap or drier?

    How to bag that truck of yours

    Well I got one of my accuair 5 gallon tank, pump,4 valve set up. I definitely need at least two 5 gallon tanks and pumps. With the psi and air volume needed to lift the heavy front end I have to let it build up again to fully raise it. I obviously won't be running it at that height and need to...

    May I ask how much your line X cost? I brought my long bed into a local line X shop here in Knoxville and they told me like 2 grand. I thought they were just being D bags

    Start then stall

    The truck seems to have some parasitic drain it is a 2018 battery and it's probably sat a year. Although whenever I change the battery with those side terminals and air box in the way if I don't get a solid connection and it clicks a couple times that will put it in security mode also.

    Start then stall

    OK thank you, I figured not. I was torn between Jet and hypertech when I bought my first turner for my 97. I bought a hypertech and was happy with it. Sounds like HP or black bear performance would be the best? I do not have any tuning knowledge.

    Start then stall

    I tried the turn to on position wait 10 minutes off for 30 seconds like 5 times and it didn't work. This link has 3 different procedures and the turn on to start then release the key to the on position (basically let it die) leave it for 10 or 11 minutes unit the security light goes off (in my...

    Hp tuner as in hypertech? I'm having a passlock security issue on my 2000 k3500 obs because it sits for long periods and batteries go dead. Out of my 4 obs trucks this is the only one I seam to have this problem. I have a hypertech tuner on my 97 would that work? I'll also have to get a solar...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    Thanks for the input guys. I do agree about the 3rd link being spread out wider for more of a triangle which would give added stability. I would rather that then a panhard bar or watts link. I just readjusted everything today and got my pinion set to zero at ride height which is half travel...

    There are 5 on suspension I just watched them all. I think most of us are hands on visual learners as he was using the visual aids I was like O that's what they were trying to explain. Light bulb!!

    How to bag that truck of yours

    So I just found Mankandys garage fab videos and he simply explained suspension that helped me understand better what I was missing. I see what you mean now about making the V to a true triangular 4 link that would also help the pinion angle to be more consistent throughout the suspension...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    Nope I'm not that big of a guy, I will contact the company that I got the kit from to see what they offer or suggest. Ride tech makes a similar kit that's stats no panhard bar needed and no lateral movement. I didn't want to c notch my frame, move shock mounts and there kit is $2,500. I do like...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    I'm also concerned with the front camber. The upper control arms sit about level on the stock spindles at lowered height which pushes the tires out the furthest. I'm assuming that I would want them to be level more at ride height so lowering or lifting would bring the tires in? I bought a set of...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    18 inches of travel dang! So mine doesn't look right? I don't know how long the splined shaft is but can only imagine it doesn't have a hole lot left. I don't plan on really driving the truck that low but if bags or lines fail I may have to so just trying to make sure it's possible.

    How to bag that truck of yours

    Well, Zach at Universal air mentioned concerns about that. He mentioned to push on the side of the frame to see lateral movement but it doesn't move. I can contact air bag it to see what they suggest since that's where I bought the kit. Pan hard bar would push the truck one direction when...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    I recently bought an angle gauge to see what angles the rear and drive shaft are so I'll post them when I get them. Not to confuse you but I started this on my red dually but with the way the tires stick out I decided to just coilover convert that truck and air ride my Blu truck. I'm attached to...

    How to bag that truck of yours

    I had to readjust the rear bags so that they would sit flat when compressed. They are air lift bags and made with a bump stop in them. I'm going to use these air lift bags for now as I am finishing up the truck and hopefully be able to come up with the money for better bags. I'm concerned with...
