    TBI 454 Misfire

    I have had that same problem and chases my ass around trying to find out what the hell is going on. I have a 92 C3500 , BB 5 speed dually. In my case I had a TPS going bad causing the problems . I would start there . TPS errors should turn on the service engine light , but in my case it was...

    Fill in / smooth out sides ?

    I don’t know about show quality, I was looking to customize something. I’m a truck guy , haven’t owned a “car” in 20 years probably and it just seems like it would be fitting. That truck being an amazingly preserved, rust free truck would be a great “canvas” to try do something cool . I’ve been...

    Fill in / smooth out sides ?

    Thanks for that , I could only find 20,000 pics of trucks with the rubber molding removed lol . Looking at those pics I’m not sure anymore . The top line removal does look odd around the side windows . Looking at my truck welding in a filler looks challenging at best and easy to completely...

    Fill in / smooth out sides ?

    I would flare it so the wider wheels and tires would have a stock looking placement . I know the modern styling is big rims , little tires all tucked up neat and tidy but I’m kinda old school and like the look of the 295/50/15 sidewall height, and width.

    Fill in / smooth out sides ?

    I have acquired 98 C1500 from central Florida. It has about 200,000 miles on it , and mechanical it’s in better than average condition. What makes me excited about this truck is that there is absolutely no rust , it has less corrosion than most 5 year old vehicles. I’m looking to customize the...

    My 98 K2500 starts and then dies, new ac delco fuel pump, fuel pressure builds up to 64 lbs, and the slowly drops off over time. Fuses all good, check

    So update . I get home and it fires up with no problem. I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t think it was a factor . But I removed the seats and counsel and did a full carpet shampooing . When I went to take it to the store the windows were fogged and there was a lot of moisture that was...

    So this is what I have done per reading relearn and reset. Try to start the truck , starts and dies . I beg and plead with the GM gods to just let the madness stop lol . Try a few more times , then swear . Try one last Time and leave the key on , then I’ve gone away with a timer set and...

    You can tune the truck to bypass that ? No need to put in resistors and all that ? That seems better . Do you have any suggestions to where ?

    Seems like I’m having the same problem. I’ll give history on the truck because that might give some critical information . It’s a 1998 GMC Sierra C1500 , little 305. Truck came from Orlando and is the cleanest most rust and corrosion free truck I have seen . It has 180k milage and looks like the...

    Strange turn signal issue

    I just had the same exact problem when I removed my bed. I got everything assembled and during the final check I found the tail lights acting "funky". Found it was the main ground in the taillight harness ( located basically behind the licens plate , bolted to underside of the bed ), I had to...
