    White woman needs serious help with her truck

    Ok so I just tested the ground on my truck with a multimeter and I've got good ground to my engine and chassis. How do I test the ground on my alternator? Or do yall have any other ideas?

    2 dead fuses and no instrument cluster lights

    No I have not, come to think of it. I've been messing around under my truck all day and am about to go back out there. I'll check that and get back to you. Thank you by the way for the input

    2 dead fuses and no instrument cluster lights

    Yes no power at those 2 fuses. I tested it with a 12 volt test light. And I tested the test light itself first.

    2 dead fuses and no instrument cluster lights

    I've got a 97 k1500 5.7L. When I parked it I had lights on my instrument cluster and now I dont. My indicator lights still work (seat belt, brights, CEL, air bag, etc) but none of my gauges do. Also lost power to fuse number 14 and fuse number 9. Neither one of them is blown though. I have a...

    97 k1500 5.7L hesitation problem?

    I need help diagnosing this. I'm throwing a few codes including P1345 P0430 P0101 P0161 I honestly have no idea where to even start. But my truck has been driving like crap. It hesitates on acceleration pretty bad and makes a rattle kind of noise. Only in 3rd gear. And only when accelerating...

    Newbie messed up spark plug replacement.. help

    I have never changed the spark plugs on anything. So I did my research and decided to change them out. Well now my truck shakes when idling and shakes and kind of bogs down when I accelerate. I did them one at a time so there's no way I crossed wires or anything. I believe I put too much anti...

    97 Chevy k1500 5.7L running rough

    I just bought some techron fuel cleaner and throttle body cleaner, gonna see what happens. I've got a feeling it needs it. After replacing the pcv valve, cleaning the maf and resetting the codes. She's running a lot better. Still a hard start and kinda rough idle and slight hesitation. It...

    97 Chevy k1500 5.7L running rough

    It did but they're right back this morning. And its slowly getting the real rough idle back and the hesitation when accelerating. I feel like I have to push the pedal really far to get it up to speed

    97 Chevy k1500 5.7L running rough

    Its had 2 previous owners. Both of which maintained it very well. It had a brand new motor put in it, it's got about 5k miles on it. Shorty headers, dual exhaust. I just cleaned the maf sensor and that helped A LOT. Still idling kinda rough and jerking when driving. And I forgot to mention...

    97 Chevy k1500 5.7L running rough

    My truck started idling really rough, it's hard started since I got it (roughly 3 months ago) but within the last week the hard starting has gotten a lot worse. It's never not started though. And it seems like its lost a lot of power.. a lot of hesitation when I accelerate and it's kind of...
