    Need help with new engine

    Its a 1999 C2500 5.7 Vortec. Just for the hell of it, I took the serpentine belt off and started it. There was no noise at all, just a smooth running engine. I put the belt back on and the noise came back. I dont know what it could be. New water pump, new alternator, new fan and clutch, but...

    Need help with new engine

    Oh yeah, it seems to get quieter as the engine warms, but it does not go completely away.

    Need help with new engine

    I installed a new 5.7 in my c2500. It seems to run alright, but its making a funny noise on the top front of the motor. It sounds like thunk thunk thunk, like an air leak or something, not like metal noise. I am at a loss. My mechanics at my shop are at a loss. We are diesel mechanics, not car...

    Need a reluctor wheel

    For a 1998 c2500 with a 5.7. Where can I get one? Did something stupid and let the old one go with my core engine when I bought my new engine. An oversite on my part. :Insane: Any help is appreciated.

    Where can I find door parts

    Im looking for ashtray or covers for the ashtray holes in the rear doors of my 99 C2500 OBS. LMC does not carry them. I do not smoke so I would prefer to have a cover on the hole so my kids dont drop stuff down in the door. The ashtrays were not there when I bought the truck.

    My 1999 C2500

    Here is the intake when I took it off. Here is the valley area valve covers Cylinders. Notice the water ports are completely rusted. I had to poke with a screwdriver because I couldnt get it out with my fingers. #8 had water, look how clean the piston is.

    My 1999 C2500

    This is the truck I just bought. I bought it as a running truck, but the seller was less than honest. Turns out that it had two cracked heads and a really bad intake manifold leak. He did a very good job concealing these issues, because it ran pretty good when I bought it. Well I'm taking the...

    Its been a while but....

    Not worth putting a new cab on it to me. Insurance company gave me $4500 for it. Kid ran a stop sign and hit me in the side. Took door, front fender, and bed. I had some pictures, but guess I deleted them.

    RPO Codes

    I have all the RPO codes, I was just looking for the website to enter them all and get a list, not search one by one.

    RPO Codes

    it wasnt compnine. You had to actually enter all the RPO codes, not the VIN and it was free.

    RPO Codes

    Dont know where to post this, but... There was a website I use to use that you could enter all the RPO codes off of the glove box and it would give you a list of all the truck's options. You didnt have to look them up one at a time, rather it you could enter all of them and get a list...

    My 1997 build

    Well I put the 2" drop on the rear a few weeks ago and when I had it up in the air I noticed a problem. The frame is twisting more than it should. Did some research on it and was lead to the cross members. Turns out that one of them has some rivets that are loose. Called body shop that is going...

    Random misfire....P0300

    When my truck gave that code, it was from a vacuum leak. There was a big hose on the back side of the big plastic air breather tube. Its hard to see, but its about the size of your thumb, if it comes off, it will give a random misfire code. I plugged it in, and the code went away.

    another seat question???????help

    Don't the 99's have the seat belts in the seats? What are you going to do with the seat belts that are mounted on the side of the cab? Also, I don't remember, but I think that the cab is wider than the cab on the 98, if it is, then the doors may hit the seats when you close them. But, Im not for...

    Switching to electric fan

    I would really gain 10-15hp? Would that be a noticeable difference?

    Switching to electric fan

    My truck has a 4.3 in it. I have been told that I will gain power if I take the clutch fan off and install an electric fan. Is that true and will the gain be noticeable?

    Lowering spindles

    I am only doing a 2/4. I am putting new shackle and hanger on the rear. I cant go any more than 2/4 because I still have to be able to haul my boat around and want to do this without having to add bags to it. This is a work truck first, look nice going down the road truck second. I have a lawn...

    Lowering spindles

    I'm going to change the spindles on my 97 2wd to 2" drop spindles. Are there any special tools that I will need to do this? I have standard mechanic hand tools. I've changed spindles on big trucks but not pickups, hopefully it will be similar. Will I need a ball joint tool? I know I needed on...

    Dude, don't waste your money on that junker. Its old and you deserve something newer. Tell you what, I will come up there from Texas with my pickup and trailer, and haul that old nasty Blazer off for you. Just so you don't have to look at it anymore. I won't even charge you. You will save time...
