Replacement Key Fob

I replaced the fob for my 1998 C2500 with one from "USA Remote" on Amazon. I have also used fobs from "remotesremotes.com" and fobs from both were identical to the OEM units and work very well. These are easy to program.

Starter won’t turn flywheel

Alternator removal - how?

Most are attached with just the two bolts going in from the front on the bottom of the alternator. However, on some there was apparently also a sheet metal bracket on the back with two bolts on the bottom going into the aluminum mount and a nut on the stud on the back of the alternator (or a...

Speedometer calibration

I tried to get a local shop to calibrate the speedo with a tuner but they apparently didn't know how to do that so consulted with a speedp repair shop (in Tacoma, WA) who said the problem is a bad circuit board that had to be replaced for about $200. I called those guys too just to verify...

"Hidden" oil galley plug question

Rebuilding a 1998 Vortec 5.7. Removed all the oil galley plugs for cleaning and found that the main oil galley running vertically from the oil pump to the oil pressure sender (and the oil galleys around the cam) had a large steel ball used as a plug between the oil filter send and return...

Speedometer calibration

I recently purchased a 1998 GMC Sierra 2500 (2WD, HD, long bed, extended cab, 5.7, 4L80E) which happens to be in almost new condition, no rust at all, looks new underneath and clean body too. Anyway the primary issue is the speedo reads about 15 mph high at 60 mph. I suspect the instrument...
