    Bigger, Better Brakes on a 97 2500

    454cid, thanks for the info, sounds like if I just upgraded to the 3500 4x4 DRW stuff that would be the best and probably adequate for what I need. someotherguy, I guess I just assumed it was a 14 bolt. I am thinking it is the Dana 80, so I will not go that direction. Thanks again guys. I...

    7.4L Cam shaft options

    5. Buddy of mine has a Vortec K2500. One of the best upgrades he says he's ever done was to scrap the original muffler. VERY restrictive. He's since added headers and custom-bent exhaust, but the muffler change made a big difference by itself. I have actually just purchased a Magnaflow...

    Bigger, Better Brakes on a 97 2500

    Anyone out there have a good recepie for better brakes on a 2500 truck. I see a ton of stuff on here for the 1500 but not much for a 2500. Are there any good kits out there that would be worth doing a rear 14bolt disc conversion on with? Is there an upgrade kit for a bigger front disc? I...

    7.4L Cam shaft options

    I would totally upgrade the springs too. Are you happy with that cam choice, was the difference in power noticeable? What about your economy, did it increase, go down, or stay the same?

    7.4L Cam shaft options

    Hello all, I have been kicking around the possibility of doing a cam swap in m 97 7.4L. I was looking at the Gen 6 454 XR258HR from comp. I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me on this. Also, has anyone used the EFI connection COP conversion on a gen 6 BBC and left the factory FI...

    12200411 PCM swap for 1996 to 2000 GMT400 trucks

    I have been looking for the pin-outs for a 97 7.4L with an NV4500. I am not sure if there is a difference between the 5.7L and the 7.4L. I would like to do the 411 swap so I can get rid of torque management. The truck has so much more potential than is displayed. Any help would be awesome.

    Good headers

    So no long tubes uh? That sucks because I will loose some torque with mids. Obviously they would be better than the stock manifolds for sure. Well if you anyone knows about long tubs for these trucks let me know. Thanks.

    97 7.4 engine rebuild

    Hi all, I am new to the forum so if I am posting in the wrong spot please let me know. I have recently become the proud owner of a 147k mile truck that has 0 oil pressure. I am going to rebuild the 7.4L that is currently in there. I was wondering if it would be worth the money and effort to...

    Good headers

    Hi all, I am new to this forum. I have recently become in need of a new engine or engine swap. I thought while I had the motor out I would do the exhaust and start with some headers and then open the 7.4 up with some bigger exhaust. I have been looking for some long tube headers for the 96-00...
