    1997 Chevy C2500 5.7 Vortec - Rough and High Idle. Has 411 PCM upgrade

    Hey Everyone. Trying to figure out an issue with a 1997 Chevy C2500. It has the 5.7 Vortec with around 159K. Last year it started running rough. The truck would start ok when cold. But seemed to have like a miss and the idle was higher then normal. However, if you would shut the truck off and...

    Direct Drive to Gear Reduction Starter reuse bolts? - 97 C2500 5.7

    I didn't buy from Summit but these are the same GM part number bolts that I bought https://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-12338064 The new starter fit snug and the bolts weren't loose or anything? Maybe I will pull out the old bolts i have and take a measurement to play it safe.

    Hey guys. I wanted to let you know it all worked out. The new mini starter works great and it starts so much faster. Actually the wire going to the starter from the battery was the stock gauge wire. The small wire I saw before removing the started was I guess the trigger wire to fire the starter...

    Thanks for the confirmation. Battery is in stock location under the hood. So sounds like the 4 gauge will be good to use then.

    I sized it up and I think a 4 gauge is close to what was stock. I hope it is being I have tons of that gauge wire hah. I mean heck its better then the possible like 10 gauge or smaller wire that is feeding it now!

    Thanks. Yes I did wind up ordering that smaller GM starter and as well as 2 new starter bolts. Hope to install it this weekend. I am going to run a new 4 gauge wire from the battery directly to the starter. Being the original must have broken at some point and the prior owner replaced the end...

    Are these the starter bolts I would have to get to use the smaller mini starter on my truck? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-12338064/reviews/?sortReviews=Newest

    Direct Drive to Gear Reduction Starter reuse bolts? - 97 C2500 5.7

    Hey Guys. I currently have a Direct Drive starter in my 97 C2500 with the 5.7. I am having an issue that it cranks really slow or doesn't fire over when the truck is hot. Instead of swapping in another Direct Drive starter, can I swap in a one of those smaller Gear Reduction Starters? If yes...
