    Help me identify this hose

    (1998 K1500 5.7) I just got done with some major repairs and the truck is running great now. Even the check engine light is off. I had no leftover hardware or parts when I was done except for this one hose. Looks like some sort of vent hose. Smells like oil/fuel/exhaust. I can't find where...

    OS34500R pan gasket - Is this going to be a problem?

    I think I remember seeing a review on one of the parts sites where someone saw a similar issue and had nothing but leaks afterwards. I don't want leaks after all this work. Has anyone else noticed this at the front of the pan with the Felpro OS34500R gasket? It fits fine at the rear, and I...

    Installing pickup tube in oil pump

    So I got a new oil pump and pickup tube (screen) and went to assemble today and ran into an issue. Both parts from Sealed Engine, 224-43469 and 224-14258. I know the pickup tube is supposed to be an interference fit into the pump (0.006" interference I think?) but not until halfway down the...

    Oil filter adapter O-ring

    Oil Pan Gasket Under Stupid Plastic Timing Cover

    1998 5.7. I pulled the original timing cover off today and it was glued so tight to the oil pan gasket it pulled one corner of the gasket out from between the block and pan and the rest of the plastic cover broke and stayed attached to the other side. I was as gentle as I could be but there...

    Balancer spun?

    1998 K1500 (5.7). Ok, so I got in a rush and did something stupid. In the process of pulling my distributor for a lower intake manifold gasket replacement I marked the distributor position but didn't mark the rotor position. So after making this mistake I brought #1 piston into the...

    Push button 4WD transfer case won't shift to 4HI/4LO

    First post here. I've scoured this forum for a solution to my problem but can't find any threads with this particular issue. Truck is a 98 model with push button 4wd. NP 243 C t-case. When I try to engage 4HI or 4LO, I hear relays clicking and I sometimes get a clunk from the transfer case...
