    Bearing size confusion

    I'm rebuilding a running engine to replace another engine that went bad. The engine came out of a 1998 Tahoe and has factory 0.0006 US main bearings. 0.001 main thrust bearing. Rods had standard bearings on it. I've had the crank polished, and need to figure out what bearings to order. Rods...

    L31 Making a Bit More Power - 14097395 Cam

    I'm rebuilding an L31. The engine I'm rebuilding was a running engine that I bought to replace a failed 305. The engines are rated 255hp/330 tq. I'd like to make a bit more power and torque and I kinda like the 14097395 Chev cam from the RamJet 350 -It is otherwise stock. 2 bolt main, and I...

    4l80E torque converter choice/ General Rebuild Questions

    It never had a 454 in it. I'm honestly quite happy with the mileage it gets and don't want to mess with that too much. I would love the 454 for power, but then I'm down to 12 MPG at best. I'm surprised by what this thing will get on long trips, and would like to keep it that way, because I do...

    4l80E torque converter choice/ General Rebuild Questions

    Really not that bad, on a 350 tune no less. No worse than the 350. It holds it's own once you're up to speed, and gets 16 mpg on longer trips. I've had a 7-8000lb~ disc behind it, and got to and held 55mph in drive.

    4l80E torque converter choice/ General Rebuild Questions

    I have a bunch I'd like to ask, but I'm sure I'll forget half of it. This will be a bit long winded, so sorry in advance. I have a K3500 2000 CCLB SRW with 370,000 kms. The transmission has had a slow leak for a while, as well as pretty consistently having code P1870. It's thrown in the...

    New booster or hydro swap

    96 model has the same ABS as the 95+ trucks. Just remove the module, get a prop valve and install some lines. You won't have EVO, so the one line will be different. I believe you need 92005 instead of 92004. You're line goes directly into the pump. The EVO line goes into the EVO solenoid the...

    Just a bit of a 5 AM curiosity question

    8 lug, 9.5" SF axles are VERY common. There were a ton of them on the GMT400 trucks. I'd say most 2500 8 lug trucks had them. All 2500 trucks were 8600lb GVWR, regardless of whether they had a SF or FF rear end. They were also used exclusively on GMT800 2500 (non HD) and 1500HD, both of which...

    Replacing ABS motor on 95 Tahoe.

    The motor and modulator valve is the same all the way through, from 95-2000 on the trucks and full size SUV’s. It’s the controller on top that’s different. 95 is by itself, 96 and early 97 is different and late 97 and newer is different again. (That’s what ive been able to figure out, I may be...

    1500 Hydroboost Conversion Part Numbers

    To my understanding, the difference is having EVO vs not. I believe 92006 will thread directly into the pump, whereas 92007 needs the EVO solenoid to work.

    Replacing ABS motor on 95 Tahoe.

    I’d just go to a U Pull It yard, pick a whole assembly up and just swap the motor.

    Need someone with in depth ABS knowledge

    Working on a 2000 CCLB K3500. Has a 310 module like the rest of them, and I keep getting C0265, which is common on the 325 module from what I understand. Isolation and dump valves all work, and the motor runs when tested with a Solus Pro. If it's all working, why am I getting this code?

    Topkick/C3500HD handle conversion. Repro parts.

    Looking to see who would be interested in this conversion. I've been thinking about getting some reproduction parts made up. Would likely try to sell it as a kit, for 2 doors or 4 doors. I'm thinking with the current price of handles, and what I'm thinking it would cost to build these parts...

    Manual trans radiator fit in auto truck?

    I need a radiator for my 2000 K3500 w/ 5.7, and an OSC is available to me through amazon for a manual transmission. It only looks to be missing the trans cooler, which I'm not using anyways. It still have the engine cooler. Any reason it wouldn't fit? I can order the proper one throught...

    Tow Mirror Glass Replacement

    I bought some tow mirrors from K2Motors and in removing the R.H top glass, I broke it. They don't supply replacement parts, and the only other place I can find it is BoostAuto and OE. Are the boostauto and OE mirrors exactly the same? Does anyone know somewhere else I could get it? Thank you.

    New here. Underhood reel light.

    Hi all. I've been into these trucks for a while and was an irregular member over at Fullsizechevy.com, but I see it's no longer up. Currently have a 2000 K3500 CCLB. Nothing special really, just a farm truck. Use to have a 1997 K1500 ECSB and before that a 1991 K2500 (7200lb) ECSB 6.2 Diesel. I...
