    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...

    Squeaky driver door window

    Every time it rains or my truck gets wet, the driver door window was a terrible squeal going up and down. It doesn't seem like the window tracks but instead the window sliding across the rubber piece along the top of the door panel. Anyone else have this problem? I didn't want to put any...

    Speedometer correction after larger tires and re-gear?

    Who's the go-to company for this? I drove my truck with 35s and 3.73s for a while and the speedo was off by 5 mph.

    Looking for a set of 8-lug center caps

    89 C3500 with stock steel 16" wheels. Looking for a set of center caps, or at least 2 of them. Only had 2 on it when I bought the truck. Mine are the ones where the lug nut covers don't spin or remove. I think the ones that has the removable lug covers would work as long as it's the center cap...

    SmittyBilt bumper mount for KC lights

    I bought this before my drive home from Alaska to help on the dark roads through Canada. Not a big fan of how it looks and want to just get a light bar for the front. I’ve only had it on since about April so it’s in near perfect shape. Black powder coat. It mounts in the top holes for the front...

    Problems with gauge cluster in 89

    Just bought an 89 C3500 last week. The odometer and tripometer both don't work. The speedometer only works occasionally. All the other gauges - oil pressure, temp, voltage, and fuel - all work fine and seem to be accurate. What could be the cause of the odometer not working and the speedo...

    The bench seat in my 89 is all broken on the driver side. I need a better one. Looking for a solid bench but open to 60/40. My interior is brown so that’s preferable but I really don’t care about the color. Also need a red one for my dad’s truck. Also need seat buckles, the ones that bolt to...

    Tire pressure for 35x12.50 on 15x12 wheels

    Just mounted my 35x12.50s on a set of 15x12 Bart wheels. Since these are a little stretched to fit, does the tire pressure need to be higher than normal to hold the bead? Or is the normal 35 or so fine?

    Can the 8.25 IFS handle a regear to 4.88?

    My 97 has a 6" lift on 35s with 3.73s. Driving in hilly areas and/or pulling a trailer is just terrible...not much power at all. I have the semi float rear axle so I'm not worried about its strength. I am concerned about the strength of the front diff having way deeper gears. I don't do any...

    Powdercoating transfer case?

    Doing a rebuild on a spare 241c I have and it’s filthy. I want to powder coat it while I have it torn down so it’s easier to keep clean. Is it safe to get the case halves powder coated? Or will it weaken them too much? I’ve seen them done before so I’m assuming/hoping it’s safe to do. 2nd...
