    '99 body on a '98 frame?

    I'm thinking the same way. Plus it probably wouldn't be insurable. If I don't have the '99 sold in a month I'll probably end up parting it out. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    '99 body on a '98 frame?

    Got myself into a situation. I have a '98 K1500 that the body is in bad shape, but the frame is good and recently bought a '99 (same ext cab setup) that the body is in great shape, but the frame is rusted garbage. I've heard of the ls swap and rear axles, but haven't heard of anyone putting a...

    246 T-case fuse blowing

    It's taken me a while to actually tear down my t-case and see what is actually going on. I have a '99 Tahoe with the Auto 4wd function. I replaced the tccm, switch and encoder trying to remedy the t-case blowing its fuse when trying to shift into anything other than neutral. Well, I finally...

    HELP! 4l60e is being a Dick Weed!

    Feeling some woes from my '98 Chevy K1500 this last weekend... grinding like noise in first and reverse. Have since learned its the rear planetary gears. Just under 300,000 so I guess its to be expected, just so not desired. Most likely gonna pull the 4L60E and get it rebuilt locally. Gotta work...

    Great and Terrible Parts Vendors

    So far, I've had good luck with AM Autoparts. They offer a 10 year warranty on a lot of parts. Ordered wheel hub assemblies for my 98 K1500 and loved the price and have had no issues. Just ordered a lower ball joint, stamped steel design. I plan on using them more... Sent from my SM-G973U using...

    spark plugs

    I used to manage a auto repair facility and had many instances where copper or platinum core plugs would barely work on 4, 6 and 8 cylinder GM engines with fuel injection, cause multiple cylinder misfires either from the start or once warmed up. We learned the hard way that cheaping out on GM...

    Check Gauges Light

    I know this is an old thread, but my 98 Chevy K1500 started doing this same issue after my tach, speedo and prndl all quit working. The trans would start out in high gear also. After looking at a schematic of the cluster, i found 2 fuses that power the gauges: #4 and #20. On mine #20 was the...

    Heater Hose Quick Disconnect to Barbed Fitting and Hose Clamp Swap/Fix

    Just noticed my 98 5.7 is leaking at this fitting again. Time for an upgrade like this. Thanks for the write up! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    97 K1500 wont start sometimes, runs great when it starts

    Let it sit for a while and try to start. If it won't start spray starting fluid in the tube connection on the back of the intake plenum and try to start again. If it fires right up you'll know its fuel related. If not, most likely ignition. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Starting issues

    I've had the same issues with my 98 K1500 5.7. Went through 3 AZ fuel pumps that showed 55psi of pressure. Went to O's and got a Precision pump that produced 60psi and haven't had a problem with fuel since. I still have the poppets. With the lower pressure my truck would start with starting...
