    Best way to add power to my 98 gmc sierra k1500 with 4.3 vortec

    If you're wanting a 500hp+ drag truck, you're going to need a beefed up tranny anyway. I know what your saying, something different would be cool, but I guess it depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.

    Best way to add power to my 98 gmc sierra k1500 with 4.3 vortec

    If swapping it is on your mind, do it. IMO by the time you have that V6 making 500hp, you'll have enough money/time invested in it, you could've swapped in 2 junkyard 6.0/4L80 combos. I say 2 incase the first 1 was bad lol, and still have money leftover for some power adders. Wait for it

    Another LS swap question

    If anyone is wanting an 8.1 I know where there are 2 of them. Still in trucks and been sitting for almost 2 years because they both need a TB or something to do with the fuel injection, I can't remember exactly what it is,,,,but the part does not exist. No oem, no aftermarket and none used. The...

    Auto starter

    Having a remote start "shouldn't" make the starter crank any slower than using the key. All it does is send a trigger signal to the starter relay to make it engage. Are you saying with the key it turns over no problem??

    Led Headlights

    If you hit a bump in the road and your steering wheel turns, you’ve got more problems that bulbs. And new modern led bulbs are much less “harmful” now as long as they’re installed properly and aimed properly. Are they 100% ideal and made for halogen housings??? No. But they’re nowhere near what...

    Let’s talk media blasting

    Noooooo not a needle scaler!! Lol. I couldn’t stand using those Cup brushes on an angle grinder will be perfect for what you want to do. Especially if you’re not pulling the cab or drivetrain. And if you want to save some money, check out dominion sure seal “Dom16”. Pretty much the same thing...

    Let’s talk media blasting

    Before all the naysayers jump in and start, I'll intervene and say this water blasting works. There's an anti-corrosion agent that is added to the water to stop flash rusting. Back in my younger days(early 2000's) I left autobody and did industrial blasting/coating for quite a few years and a...

    What is the best fitting 2" rise hood for a 1990

    We've ordered and installed a bunch of the EFX ones and they've all fit pretty well. The price of them sure jumped in the last 2 years, when I put one on my dually, shop cost was barely $400, now they're $680. EFXC1088V1 is the parts number

    How do I OM out the sensors for a 1997 5.7 vortec.

    What sensors do you want to ohm out? The O2?

    305 in the 305..

    Wow. Luckily this is a nascar, sprint car, industrial /generator /marine forum. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to process all that vital info that has absolutely nothing to do with GMT400's

    305 in the 305..

    And that's fine, I know how strongly you feel about the whole subject and you're entitled to your opinion as well. It's just hard to say the 10's of thousands of people in America alone that have done LS swaps (not counting the ground up builds that get LS powerplants) are wrong.

    305 in the 305..

    If you're going to go thru the trouble of swapping engines, going LS is almost a no brainer. Newer technology, better efficiency, reliability, the list goes on. Even just having OBD2 is a big bonus. I've been down the road of building tbi 383's, or cammed 350's with vortec heads blah blah and...

    Line X Paint

    Not raptorliner. A 4L kit weighs less maybe 15lbs. That’s the box, bottles, can of hardener etc. After sprayed and the solvents evaporate I’d guess you’d be looking at like 12lbs or less. I used 12L on my truck so like 36lbs give or take. Line x is heavier. On an average short box we use...

    Line X Paint

    IF you decide to do it, my vote goes to raptor liner. It is definitely UV stable unlike mentioned earlier in this thread, it washes well, and i very durable. I sprayed my dually 3 years ago and its holding up great. I did it because I use the truck, I drive it every where. If I spent a bunch of...

    Who is Sean Buick 76?

    Smoky Lake area you say? I'm only an hour NE from there. Good job on that axle, you broke it perfectly. Good to see you came out of that unscathed

    1989 body seam molding

    A few little changes (ie: removing a few things) and that would be nice truck

    1989 body seam molding

    Way back in '99-2000 when I converted my 92 RCSB to a stepside I looked high and low for these mouldings for a long time and never tracked any down. They were disco'd by GM even back then. Can't believe this pic is almost 25 years old. Man I'm old
