    Thoughts & Guidance

    Think of it this way like you said you have a better rear end that you could get cheap and it has all good parts just swap it out. Not sure if you are getting bigger rear brakes but that could be a plus. You can try the 4.10s if you don't like it you could always go back in and switch it out to...

    Thoughts & Guidance

    Are you sure you want or need 4.10s. I got them on my truck and i would rather switch back to my original 3.73s. I run 305/70/16s and with the 4.10s. 2400 rpm@75 with and about 200 miles per tank full vs 3.73 2000 rpm@75 maybe 230 or 240 miles per tank full. Less rpms means better mileage and...

    Automatic Door Lock

    You are lucky cause i bought a GM key fob so i can remotely lock and unlock the doors. I tried rekeying to the truck but didnt work. Thats when i came to find out that just because i have electric door locks doesnt mean i have the module for keyless entry. Bummer i wish i did have that module.

    Interior upgrades

    Last year did my upgrade to my interior. I got a thread where i had installed the center console from a 2000 Denali, leather seats etc. This upgrade was a few odds and ends to clean up. 1) Cover the gap below the radio. Single stereo in a double din mounting kit. 2) The Denali cd player has...

    Automatic Door Lock

    Quick question on 1998 Door lock system. Do the door locks activate when the vehicle is put into drive? I cant remember if they did or it was just my old viper that would activate and lock the doors when i put the vehicle in drive. When i had the Viper 300 installed back in 1998 they had...

    Need help with ignition lock cylinder

    I had intermittent issues trying to start my truck for the last few years. Every once in a while the truck would crank and crank and would not start even after 15 minutes.

    What Weight/Thickness MLV?

    On the doors and back wall of the cab u can go as thick as you like but don't forget to factor in the carpet and padding it may come with along with the additional material your are adding, it maybe a tight fit. I bought the cheaper carpet through RA, the one with no mass backing and the...

    Simple rebuild?

    This is good to know. That someone still did cam and blower at that mileage. All other mods that were done will be revisited and possibly upgraded at a later date. Just want to concentrate on cam swap, tune, shifty steering from 10-2, led bulbs for my fog lights that are bright and fit.

    Simple rebuild?

    Ya, at a 139k is not too much in mileage. I say rebuild cause i am not sure if throwing in a hotter cam is a good idea with the amount of mileage the engine has. I just equate this trying to boost an engine with 139k but thats just me. I will talk to my mechanic about a hotter cam that doesnt...

    Simple rebuild?

    Exploring my options for an engine now. A 5.3 swap is at least 6k, HT383 is 5400 for engine alone not including labor. Now looking to what rebuilding the 5.7 entails. Keeping the stock fuel injection (got the upgrade) and getting a better tune. What kind of cam and heads can i slap on this hunk...

    Anyone good with VG30s?..

    Ah yes the inline 6 Datsun/Nissan Maxima. i had 1982 with no over drive and i changed cams on that for a bigger one. I would actually spin the tires with that car once i had some injectors replaced and learned how to adjust the valve lash on that car. Really simple to work on. In the end it got...

    Edelbrock Headers Question

    I have the Edelbrock ceramic coated headers on my 1998 K1500. I ordered through jegs said that it would fit. Little did i realize until around 2010 that what was sent to me was one for 1995 or below. The donut between the header and exhaust change around that time. So when i tried a 1995 donut...
