    Built not bought

    Figured I'd start a writeup on my suburban after mentioning something about it in a thread I have going about boosting this 5.3 I bought. Kinda going for an overland look with the truck. Any comments/suggestions/etc are appreciated, this is a learning opportunity for me. I've wrenched on cars...

    small turbo+5.3?

    I scored a complete 170k mile 2001 5.3 with all accessories and wiring harness, pcm, etc for 600. Plan on tearing it down this weekend to see what kind of shape the internals are in. It turns over with a socket on the crank is about all I know about it besides mileage. I wanted to do an LQ4 swap...

    5.3 swap/4L60E

    I snagged a complete 2001 5.3L last weekend for 600 bucks. My plans are to tear it down and build it back up to where I can beat the piss out of it- I'm not trying to go 9's in a suburban, so no hair dryers and no revving to 9k- just a motor that can take me hooning on it and no screaming for...

    Door pin bushings

    I need to replace one of my barn doors on my sub. I've replaced doors and pins before, but this pin is S T U C K. It's been soaking in PB blaster for days, I've put the heat wrench to it, and tried to smack them out with a bfh and a center punch- and they ain't moving. Do they make a press tool...

    14 bolt swap questions

    Folks, I've finally gotten together pretty much everything I need for a 14 bolt swap. I've ran into a couple gotchas though so I figured I'd ask here: 1) The guy I bought the axle from didn't have the leaf springs off the other truck. Can I use the springs that are currently installed on my...

    Beef up the dash

    The dash in this truck was pretty woofed when I got it, but ever since I rebuilt the front end and replaced all the rubber on the truck with poly, the tougher ride beats that poor ol dash up so bad I’m afraid it’s gonna fall in my lap. I went to the local man mall a few weeks ago and lucked...

    Alignment issues

    Folks, I’ve ran into a problem I cannot seem to get solved. I’ve got a 95 suburban k1500 rolling on 275/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on a new set of 20x10 Ion wheels. I have personally replaced every single steering and suspension component on the truck with Moog problem solvers (for the moving...

    95 burb no crank...

    So here’s my situation: 95 suburban w/ the TBI 350 Truck will click multiple times when turned to start. I replaced the ignition switch a few weeks ago with an AC Delco unit being that I had a “dead dash” issue (contacts in the original switch were worn out, dash lights would flicker etc) so...

    Dipstick length???

    I’ve got a 95 k1500 burb with the 5.7 and cannot find a dipstick that’s the proper length. I ordered a replacement off Rockauto but it’s the wrong length (30”), bought one at my local parts pusher (32”) and it wasn’t right either. There are barely any gmt400s in the yards around me, and from...
