    Manual transmission - which years and vehicles?

    1997 W/T 1500 2wd 4.3 4L60E The 4L60E has been slowly degrading the past few years and is almost done. I hate auto transmissions and would prefer a manual. Will an NV3500 from any Chevy or GMC from 88 to 98 work? Is the NV3500 in the 4.3 equipped S-10 the same as the NV3500 in a full size...

    Let’s play a round of “Name that sound!”

    1997 C1500 4.3 Just wondering if anyone knows what this sound is and/or what part is likely making it? It sound like it’s coming from the back of the engine… distributor area. Edit: engine runs rough at higher rpm’s and will give a p0304 code Turn your volume down low!

    Bad cat? Off road y-pipe?

    1997 C1500 4.3 auto If I run the engine hard like merging onto an interstate the engine will start to miss out real bad like it's running on only 2 cylinders. Imagine putting the power on a light switch and flipping it on and off real fast, that's what it feels like. It's like the power is...

    Broken shock bolts... how to fix?

    Hey guys... putting new shocks on my 97 C-1500. It's been a LONG time since I worked on one of these, but on the front lower shock mount (on the lower control arm) didn't GM used to use the nut/clip contraption? These are so nice because broken bolts are of no worry. Anyway, on my 97 the lower...

    Shifter issues

    Hey guys, the last few days I've noticed that sometimes I'd move the shifter and end up in the wrong gear, like N instead of reverse or OD, or maybe 3 instead of OD. When leaving for work the truck wouldn't start, so I moved the shifter into gear and then back to park and it started, so I'm...

    Steering issues... how does the steering system work?

    My truck is a 97 C1500 4.3 I know the alignment is way out by how it skips on pavement at slows speeds when turning and it pulls to the right at highway speed. I want to replace all front end parts before getting an alignment. I don't think the alignment is part of the next problem: My problem...

    What is this? And do I need it?

    1997 C1500 with a 4.3 auto What is the box in the pic? I'm guessing some type of fuel tank purge valve charcoal emission container? Does it even belong in my truck? I'm guessing it no longer functions as intended or isn't for my particular truck since the wires to the connector have been...

    Which spark plugs and wires?

    Which spark plugs work well in a 1996 with a Vortec 4.3? I think 41-932 was stock. 41993? AP605? XP605? Other? Is 41993 a replacement number for the stock plugs? I'll likely get the AC Delco cap and rotor unless advised differently. What about plug wires? Get a AC set or the good blue color...

    7.4 info request

    Hey guys, I've never had a BBC motor before and don't know much about them. I'm looking at getting a dually truck to pull our 30' camper and most of them have the 7.4 in them. Is it still a reliable motor as it nears 200,000 miles? What is the typical MPG I should expect? I read the specs and...

    Adding cruise control and remote start...

    Hey guys, I recently bought a nice '97 W/T 1500. It has a 4.3 and auto transmission. I'd like to add factory cruise control and a remote start. First the cruise - I'm getting the parts from a Pick n Pull junkyard that is 100 miles each way so I'd like to know exactly what I need. There is a...

    Finally have a truck again!

    Hey all, I always had a truck when I was younger but I've been without one for about 12 years! My last one was a 1995 WT 1500. I recently bought a nice 1997 WT 1500 and it feels so good to have a truck again :D I'm trying to decide if I want to color match paint the stock wheels or buy some...
