    Desperately need advice on rear ends.

    I had a 12 bolt in my 90. Was a easy swap and the limited slip actually worked. If you got the money the strange differentials are 10x more reliable than any factory units, I have a S60 and its lighter and faster than the 9" i had.

    ‘97 5.7 Vortec - ̶n̶o̶t̶ your typical crank no start

    Never got mine to turn using alternator nut, usually slipped. If all plugs are out maybe it would work. Of course I usually just bump starter till compression pops on #1 then line up my marks so I know its on correct stroke. Could be a issue if cam timing that far off tho

    What years had quad GLASS sealed beam headlights?

    I put 88 lights in my 94 and they was nice and bright. My 96 I use auxbeam leds for bulbs and have the glass lights you get off ebay

    ‘97 5.7 Vortec - ̶n̶o̶t̶ your typical crank no start

    Line up the timing mark on front cover and look under cap and see if it's pointing at #1 or at least on opposite side of 1. If it's anywhere but that the chain jumped

    ‘97 5.7 Vortec - ̶n̶o̶t̶ your typical crank no start

    Distributor or anything to do with spark will not affect compression test at all

    Sounds like jumped time. Can't remember if that year had fiber/aluminum gear or not.

    Leaf spring R&R....

    More springs are not always better. The design of the spring and spring rate are what matters.

    Leaf spring R&R....

    The leafs from a 02 1500hd fit right in my 96 and have thick springs and a long overload.

    Bags or leafs?

    Seen a 4wd s10 with a hallmark 36" enclosed trailer behind it that they took off rear wheels and drove it around at Dallas race way back

    Bags or leafs?

    I'm sorry I don't get on here much anymore. The 0411 pcm is the later style mostly in the 2000-up ls based trucks. It's a noticeable difference and easier to tune. Works really well on vortec 5.7 and even better with a marine intake that takes individual injectors. Load leveler hitches are...

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    Adding clutches is good for towing but in a race trans the less clutches needed to hold the hp the faster you are. As far as lasting I know of a truck that went 425k and another that is at 380k and neither took care of them they just lucky

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    The reason most vortec heads crack is the way the seats are hardened and how thin it is around them. Take apart a few engines that haven't been hot but lots of miles and tell me how many are cracked. Better yet go back a few yr models and find a decent pair of 882s 0r 993 heads.

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    Well gm engineers made heads that are prone to crack, the 3-4 in a 4l60e was designed with bad fluid flow and cooling issues that a couple drilled holes fix and it took racers to figure that out not overpaid dummies. You can keep on the factory is best bandwagon and I'll keep on using my non gm...

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    Vortec, non vortec, really no different on internal cooling ports. All SBC are the same block cooling ports aside from one extra port on water pump that doesn't do anything that I have seen. I have plugged those off since I was 16 in every one. The 400s have steam holes that I plug in the block...

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    My two speed is hardest to cool and if it get 200 I wont stage up. I run hydraulic oil in it and had same in a 4l60 I pulled with. Works way better but has to be used from time its built.

    4L60e running at 200-210F at operating temp.

    I didn't read whole post but I can say that all my 4l60e transmissions have stand alone coolers. I dont like radiator ones at all. My trans in my trailblazer is at 152 right now and been running and driving for 30min in 90° outside temp here in eastern Oklahoma. Transmission has 70k on it since...

    Roller cam in trucks start

    The 305s had roller cams in trucks and alot of the 3/4 and 1 tons with 5.7 also did. Every vortec 96+ is roller

    Put solid roller springs on most China heads and the head breaks stud boss off. The "styrofoam" looking gm heads were junk

    Procharger

    Procharger would even love a 2.08 1.6 225cc brodix dragon slayer. More air the better. Now a na engine a 200 runner 2.02 1.6 is enough but not boosted. Factory heads would be short lived cause of the added heat. Cheap aluminum heads are crap aluminum almost like the 2.2 s10 head type aluminum

    Procharger

    Not reading this whole thread.... you need to get a set of dragon slayer brodix heads, 2.05/1.6 get the normal type intake pattern not vortec, use a low rise efi intake with individual injectors and a big throttle body. 0411 pcm will run it but a Holley terminator x will be a easier to tune...

    Wheels stick out to far for PA.

    I had 33x12.5 15s before the 35s on stock 85ish 8" rallies and ball joint sit in the wheel and didn't rub. The caliper would be closer than the ball joint cause i had to grind 1/8" off at a angle so it wouldn't spin the wheel weights
