    2 Gallon Per Minute Flow Kit - Seems Not Enough Assist At Low Speed (Good Highway Feel)

    1998 K1500. Stock suspension and tires - nothing crazy. Power steering pump was going bad (weak and erratic at low speed - and I think the EVO was also going bad). Bought a 1998 pump (not sure if that was the right decision, or if I should have bought an earlier unit), didn't put the EVO back...

    0411 - Emissions Readiness Issues - Catalyst, Evap, and O2 Sensor "Incomplete"

    I've had an 0411 in my 98 5.7 Vortec for awhile - but I was in Florida and didn't have emissions. Recently swapped to 4l80e and completely reloaded the computer. Now I'm back in VA (where there is emissions), and I'm trying to get it tested, but they won't test me because I have 3 "Incomplete"...

    The Long Metal Piece Between the Outer & Inner Rocker Panel w/3rd Door

    For anyone wondering why every diagram they see has an outer rocker panel and an inner rocker panel, but when they look at their third door truck with rusty rockers they see an outer, inner, and something in between . . . You're not crazy. I've torn my rusty rockers apart, and now I can...

    0411 HPT OS Upgrades - Now Truck Doesn't Want to Run . . .

    Anyone do these upgrades to their 0411 . . . and then basically have the truck not run? These popped up as possible while I was doing a 4l80e segment swap . . . I went ahead and did them (foolishly . . . I have no idea why I did any of the 2 or 3 bar stuff). Now HP Tuners VCM shows me a ton...

    Bent Frame, Original Leaf Springs?

    2 Questions that maybe someone can help with . . . social distancing has given me more time to tackle transmission and rust issues . . . 1) I assume the spare tire holder is supposed to be level and square with the two sides of the frame? I think I might have some frame damage. It appears...

    1998 Extended Cab Passenger Inner and Outer Rocker and?

    My passenger inner and outer rocker are toast. Quick questions about what seems to be an intermediate panel between the inner and outer. 1) It doesn't seem for sale anywhere - or acknowledged anywhere. Anyone seen it? 2) are most people leaving these out / not worried about them? They...

    New L31 - HT383 Cam - COMP Cams 1418-16 Roller Rockers - Rubbing

    Finally getting my new engine put in with all the goodies. The one place I deviated was I went with the Comp Cams rockers https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-1418-16/overview/ vs https://www.summitracing.com/parts/scc-scp1036?rrec=true which I had seen recommended. I went with the...

    Is Your Torsion Bar Cross Member Hiding Serious Rust?

    Chasing down a squeak that I now believe may have only been the skid guard, I basically redid my entire front suspension and steering. Then, before going for an alignment I figured I would redo my torsion bar keys with 2" lift keys (setting aside whether 2" lift keys are a good decision or if...

    Misfire - Cylinder 4 - Check Engine Light at 55-60 MPH acceration under load

    At my wits end on this . . . if anyone has any ideas let me know. Trying not to fire the parts cannon at this . . . most of whats been done below was just previous preventative maintenance that thereby rules out those possible issues. I'm getting a misfire cylinder 4 check engine light that...

    Bad oil sample, noise, how bad is it Doc?

    Last year I sent my oil sample out and found out I had a lot of coolant in it . . . replaced lower intake gaskets. This year I sent it out and found out I still had some coolant (perhaps residual, though seems unlikely as I ran some oil through it and did a short interval oil change), as well...

    1998 5.7 Valve Adjustment - oil flying out of one rocker . . .

    I saw this thread ( http://www.gmt400.com/threads/350-tbi-valve-train-adjustment.37514/ ) and figured I would add my .02 and ask if anyone has any thoughts on the shooting oil issue. I've had a "tick" on startup (and now it seems to stick around most of the time) that I've been trying to...

    Rattle / harmonic - Low RPM in 3rd and 4th Gear (4l60e) under slight load

    Hello, 1998 5.7 4l60e extended cab. The truck runs and drives fine - no mechanical issues that I'm aware of. I don't think this is a transmission issue, more of something being loose that reveals itself when the transmission is in 3rd and 4th, at low RPM, and then placed under load...

    Help - Weird Brake Issue - Unsolicited Rear Brake Lock Up

    1998 k1500 z71. As the title says - rear brakes are locking up occasionally (it's done it when the vehicle is cold, and warm). This isn't I'm applying the brakes and they're locking up - it's I'm driving along at slow speed - generally just after coming to a stop and pulling away - never on...

    Autel AL-619 Read ABS Codes

    I'm looking for a budget code reader that will read ABS codes on a 1998. I've heard the Autel AL-619 will do it - but even talking to the company, they're not completely sure. Anyone have any experience with it? When I talked to Autel they said to try the following . . . but since I haven't...

    1998 K1500 Z71 5.7 Extended Cab

    Happy to be here. Had the truck about a year and 1/2 now . . . of late been kind of a bag of troubles, but I think I'll eventually get it sorted out. Already dealt with the Vortec lower intake manifold issue, redid the entire AC, had some ignition issues (not sure if it was coil or ICM)...
