    Thank You! I have a place to look now. This has helped me out a lot. Complicated to replace? Or not so much?

    Oil Pressure issue (Not the switch)

    My trucks a 1988, Do you mean the unit at the back of the engine bay under the distributor? Cause that's been replaced and have only seen a slight increase in pressure shown on the dash, it does still drop to zero after a long period driving though, very stumped as to what it could be.

    So like the gauge on the Dash? I did think that might be the issue, any advice on how to fix that kind of thing?

    Serpentine Belt size query

    Just a quick question... I'm wanting to get a Gatorback serpentine belt for my 88 Silverado small block with AC, PS, AP but I'm not really sure if it will fit/work. My current belt is a Prestone 1010k-6 which is about 100.984in length, but the continental Gatorback is only like 94.something...

    Me again, was under the truck today and found this

    Was it carrying something in the tray? High chance it was me! Have been backwards and forwards from Auckland a lot lately, and have seen many GMT400s on the road! Nice to see a fellow NZer on here, what truck do you own? :) Just off topic, we have set up a facebook group for NZ GMT400, if you...

    Appreciate it lads, you've been a big help, getting it sorted next week (xmas time smh) got a few other small bits that need doing too, nothing major which is cool! Love these trucks, while they're becoming more common in NZ, they're still not cheap out her haha!

    Me again, was under the truck today and found this

    I'm also not driving it for the time being, and Im assuming the general consensus is probably don't drive it, incase sonething gets stuck in there? And causes more trouble

    Me again, was under the truck today and found this

    Thank you for all your replies! I don't remember seeing that hole when i bought the truck as I did get under it and i would have noticed that surely. I did think it looked deliberate but unsure, it os possible as a few of you have said it may have just chewed through the cover. But again it may...

    Me again, was under the truck today and found this

    So was under the truck trying to find the source of that rattle, have found a minor exhaust hole which could be the culprit (still unsure) but while I was under there, I noticed this hole, how does this even happen, its down by the oil filter which is also covered in some sort of oil, probably...

    Strange rattle coming from 1988 SBSC 1500 with 350tbi

    I'll also look into this, I haven't noticed it disappearing under throttle as I can pretty much hear it the whole time, sometimes it does disappear for a short bit but ends up coming back. I'll have a poke around and see what I can fine, It's just good to get opinions and possible places to look...

    Strange rattle coming from 1988 SBSC 1500 with 350tbi

    Yeah sorry the video isn't the best quality. Hmm if that's the case, I might take it in just to have it looked at, sooner rather than later.
