    Which Fuel Sending Unit to Choose?

    you can replace just the pump but if your fuel gauge is wonky might as well do the whole thing. I had just the pump replaced at a dealership while on a road trip just to get me back on the road, worked fine for another 2 years with my fuel gauge bouncing around. I just dropped the tank to change...

    Which Fuel Sending Unit to Choose?

    Did I make an oopsie by installing a Delphi pump? lol I had the same bouncy fuel gauge as the OP and I dropped the tank and put in a new Delphi assembly and it's perfect now...hopefully for more than a few months

    Need help with Vortec 350 recurring hard-start/no-start

    It's the stock distributor as far as I know, same with the injector setup. I will hold off on the FPR for now, and if I have to open up the intake I'll go ahead and do the MPFI while I'm there but hopefully that can wait a while. I'll start shopping for distributors

    Need help with Vortec 350 recurring hard-start/no-start

    about what I would expect for one 8 or 9 years old. I was really surprised mine were so black. I'll go ahead and buy a spare cap for when I inevitably need it I had the FPR on my to-do list until I tested the fuel pressure and got those readings. Am I leaking down too fast? I'm really leaning...

    Need help with Vortec 350 recurring hard-start/no-start

    I bought the truck in Alaska in 2017 with 100k miles on it. No humidity there and always started before I could even let go of the key. Since bringing it back to Mississippi last year if I let it sit for 3 or 4 days it's slow to start. It is very humid here and rains a lot. Sometimes it would...

    Power steering broke or to weak for offroad tires?

    If it works normally while driving maybe try to bleed it. Jack up the front and cycle the steering lock to lock 10 times. Check for bubbles, check the fluid level, repeat until no bubbles. If that checks out good then the pump may be on its way out. Any whining? You won't be able to turn the...

    NV3500 Help

    Fair enough. I bought the truck with 100k and the trans died at 115 or so, so who knows what the previous owner did with it. I love my 4500 now so I'm glad it happened. I'm fortunate to not have flaky paint...yet

    NV3500 Help

    I agree with these parts though. OP, start with draining the fluid out and putting the right quantity of the right fluid in there. If that doesn't help you can try the clutch release bearing, but replacing that sucks because you have to drop the trans. If that doesn't fix it...I'd look into a...

    NV3500 Help

    No it's not. It's a perfectly reasonable expectation and I would've had the same expectation in 97 when the truck was new. It s h i t the bed after 100k miles, I'm not expecting too much to ask for a longer service life than that. The truck had even less power in 2018 when the trans took a s h i...

    NV3500 Help

    NV3500s don't belong in a fullsize truck, especially not one with any sort of power upgrades. Mine starting making this nasty grinding noise in neutral with the clutch out, and any time I downshifted into 2nd coming into a turn or stop it made this really S H I T T Y chirping/squealing noise...

    Need help with bolt size :(

    measure the width of the bolt hole and go find a bolt at the hardware store as mentioned above that's close, in SAE and metric, in all available thread pitches. Return the ones that don't fit. This is pretty easy stuff. Especially since there is a junk yard near you and you now know that your...

    Need help with bolt size :(

    I doubt anyone knows that bolt size off the top of their head. How much do you have to pay, $5 tops? Just ask them if they have your truck and drive type (2 or 4) before you go. If they do it's likely to be on there, I don't know of many people who go to the junk yard to get a sway bar and bolts.

    Need help with bolt size :(

    did you check the parts diagram on the factory service manual? have you gone to the junkyard to get one so you can measure it yourself? have you thought about just buying them at a junkyard and then not having to worry about the size?

    Relocate power mirror switch ?

    Why didn't you just get the factory mirror switch and put it in the factory location?

    Looking for what might be a "non-standard" serpentine belt size

    The plugs were a perfect fit, No cramming involved. Zero leaks whatsoever, the truck ran perfect with no CELs after.

    Looking for what might be a "non-standard" serpentine belt size

    Why are you so invested in talking people out of removing the smog b u l l s h i t from their trucks? You reply in every thread trying to say they should keep it. Not everyone needs smog equipment or has to get inspections, and it's more worthless junk to get out from under the hood. Why pay...

    Ideal Highway RPM's and Gearing For 37s

    Sure thing. Now debating between 5.13s and 5.38s for 40s when it gets a SAS but haven’t looked at a calculator yet. You will not regret 4.88s for 35s Exactly right and that’s why I chose the 4.88s for mine. I read a bunch of threads and looked at the calculators and decided they would fit my...

    More pulling power from my K2500

    Re-gear. Assuming you have an early 90s 4500 with the super low 1st, lower axle gears and that first gear will get a load moving no problem. Saves money if you can re-gear it yourself. I did one for the first time to my semi float axle, not too hard just tons of precise measurements and a few...

    Cheaper, easier, and less stupid to put new CVs and front driveshaft and put in a junkyard t case.
