Issues After Hydroboost Swap

So around 2 years ago I realized my parking brake wasn't holding my 98 K1500 in place when parked on a mild grade. She's an auto and I never use it but brakes is brakes and I don't skimp on safety. Ended up becoming a front to back brake job. Literally the only thing that didn't get replaced at...

Running a Vortec 5L with a 5.7 PCM..

Been using the PCM from the parts truck the 5L was in for a few months now, but it thinks I'm geared to 3.73 and am running 254/75R16s (30.5s). The 5.7L PCM (which is now back in the truck with the 5L engine and running) obviously thinks the engine is bigger, but is correctly programmed for the...

Questions about 94 K1500 build

I'm soon to be replacing my 96 K1500 with a 94 K1500 that's in much better shape, but I want to keep as much of the functionality and familiarity of my 96 as possible so I had planned on transferring the entire interior to the 94 once I have it. This is mostly because I prefer the look of the...
