    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

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...

    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'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...

    Anybody ever pulled the carpet out of their truck

    And pressure washed it and put it back? My carpet is in good shape, no tears, burns or anything, its just dirty. Would it be possible to remove and pressure wash it with good results?

    What is it?

    What is the square box on top of the intake on the end of the air hose that says VORTEC? Does it serve a purpose or is it just for looks to cover the throttle body? May seem like a stupid question, but I was wondering. I am wanting to put a different air intake system on it.

    Has anyone done a CSFI to MPFI conversion

    On a 5.7 or a 4.3? If so, how did it turn out? Will it give me more hp or torque or anything in my 4.3? My neighbor did it in his 5.7 and he said the difference was night and day. He hasnt put it on a dyno or anything, but he said he had better take off and gets about 2 more mpg...

    My 1997 Chevrolet RCSB

    Here is my pickup that I bought back in February. I have been slowly adding parts to it to get it to where I want it. First I replaced the cab mounts because the truck had the Chevy sag. Didn't do any good, still needs to go to the frame shop. After that I replaced the stock mirrors with...

    Having trouble with back brakes

    My back brakes on my truck are not engaging when I step on the pedal. Its really bad when I am towing my boat. If I have to stop real fast, the front tires will sometimes slide like in gravel or what not. The emergency brake works just fine. If I am on a boat ramp and forget to release my...

    New here and have a question.

    This is a great site. I have been lurking for a long time and decided to sign up today because I am starting a project on a 1997 1500 SB Regular cab 4.3L.
