    Roller detent pin

    OP - what did you do to get the old pin out? And how did you secure the new pin on top - or did you press it in and call it good? I need to do this on both of my front doors soon.

    Show n tell. Let's see some eye candy.

    Mine sure ain’t a show truck, but she’s a daily driver. These pics are a reminder that all winters will eventually pass.

    Ronnster's 1998 ECSB

    I picked up a slightly used OEM grille and parking lamps to replace my aftermarket one. I didn't like that the aftermarket grille looks slightly different than the OEM one around the bowtie, and the old bugshield was pushing down on the grill making it look ugly. Below is a before on top and an...

    Fuel millage

    1998 ECSB here with the 5.7, 4L60E, 3.73 14-bolt, and 100% stock. I run 265-75-16 Wrangler Duratracs. I get 12 MPG consistently all city driving with lot’s of A/C. Running 85 octane, that’s “regular” here in the Rockies. Never drive on the highway so I can’t say what I get there but maybe I...

    1998 5.7 K1500 oil cooler delete

    So I bit the bullet and removed the oil cooler. I don’t believe it’s necessary for me, and if I decide to add it back, I’ll go with an external cooler and some braided lines. The whole process was pretty easy, though to be fair, I watched several YouTube videos on the subject. Here are some...

    1998 5.7 K1500 oil cooler delete

    Are these the Sunsong lines you are thinking of? - found them on RockAuto. Much cheaper than the Delco’s, and if they are a quality steel line then it might be something to consider for sure. I’m wondering if I would also need to replace the connector fittings that are threaded into the oil...

    1998 5.7 K1500 oil cooler delete

    Thanks for that detailed explanation! So it seems like it’s function is not only to cool the oil during extreme temps, but to also help regulate the temperature of the engine oil AND coolant. I wonder how effective this truly is. I’m usually one to think if the manufacturer put it in there, then...

    1998 5.7 K1500 oil cooler delete

    My oil cooler lines are leaking like crazy around the oil filter adapter on my ‘98 K1500 with the 5.7. It looks like the other end of the lines are also seeping at the crimp point. I’m thinking of just getting rid of the oil cooler - I put maybe 5-6k mile on my truck a year, and never tow with...

    Ronnster's 1998 ECSB

    Thanks! The wheels have some sentimental value for me. My uncle had them on his '98 Suburban from new - I always thought they looked good on the 400s. Being 20+ years old now they are starting to show their age - peeling and pitting. Just need to find a place that will strip and rechrome them -...

    Ronnster's 1998 ECSB

    Hello everyone - I've lurked for a while now and wanted to make it official. I've owned several GMT400's - Suburbans, Yukons, K1500s, etc. Sold my '96 a several years back and immediately regretted that decision. I went out and bought a nearly identical '98 and have been enjoying it for over two...

    Pushbutton 4WD Intermittent Failure

    I have the same problem in my '98. The transfer case indicator light usually lights up when I first start it, but after a few minutes it will go out. I think it's the actual switch going bad in my case. If I press on the plastic part that says "4X4" on it, the light will flicker and then come...
