    P1345 App help Needeed

    I need some help that I cant find any threads on. Maybe someone here has been through this already. 1997 Yukon 4x4, 5.7 L31, 4L60e I have the common CMP Retard fault that requires re-clocking the distributor to get the cam sensor within spec. I live in a remote community and neither of the...

    HotWheelsBurban is fantastic

    Purchased a set of dash switches and just wanted to say the shipping was extremely fast, packaging was great, price was great. All around an A+ experience. Thanks for being a stand up forum member.

    Cracked B pillar fix

    So my 2 door sees limited passengers in the back seats, but in giving people rides they seem to have stomped the trim pieces and cracked them. I looked for spares in the junk yards/aftermarket, but nothing seems to be available. I decided to try my hand at fiberglass reinforcing from the back...

    Manifold porting

    So I have a spare intake manifold at home. As I wait for my bottom end stuff to get machined for my 383 build, I thought I would take a crack at porting the intake manifold. My goals for this project are very small improvements in flow. If I wanted huge numbers, I would ditch the stock...

    Any tips; persistent axle seal leak

    I'm at my wits end with my front differential. I have a 1997 Yukon 1500 4x4, and when I first got it both front axle seals leaked. I changed them both with National brand seals from the parts store and resealed the axle tube, the passenger side was good after that. Drivers continued to leak. I...

    11" backing plate on 8.5"?

    Like everyone here, I'm totally underwhelmed by my brakes. They are working correctly, I have a nice firm pedal, but the rear is just so darned weak. I looked but couldn't find an answer, will the 11" drum backing plate bolt up to the flange on a 10 bolt 8.5" rear end? I would love to swap the...

    Last call for Dart Vortec Heads?

    So I've been looking for a set of replacement heads after bringing 2 sets to the machine shop only to find they are cracked. In my research, i discovered a footnote on the website for Brzezinski Racing (castheads.com) "As of 1/1/2023 Dart discontinued the Small Block Chevy Iron Eagle line." The...

    Check your vent tubes!

    I was under the truck doing some other stuff this weekend and noticed my vent hose was split. No big deal... Run to the parts store and grab some fuel hose. Went back to put fresh hose, and low and behold, the vent nipple was basically rusty dust. It also turns out it's a press fit, not a...

    TBI motor into a Vortec truck

    Hey everyone. I have been preparing to build a 383 for my 1997 Tahoe to get some extra power for street and offroad driving. I was chatting about it with a co-worker and he put me in touch with someone who has a full setup out of an older truck. A built long block with edelbrock performer heads...

    Keyed alike lock sets

    So the time has come to replace my worn out ignition cylinder. I've looked all over the place but I can't find a retailer that sells a set that will let me use the same key for my ignition, doors, and tailgate. I'd really like to avoid having a bunch of keys. Before anyone suggests going to a...

    Help with MFPI conversion!

    So I noticed a little bit of residue in my oil filler cap, which I think was dexcool residue, so I decided to replace the intake gastets, and tackle all of the "while you're in there" jobs at the same time. Tuck is a 97 yukon 2 door with 5.7. The Delphi and AC Delco mfpi kits were sold out...

    Greetings from the Yukon

    Hi! I've been lurking for a month or so, since I bought my new ride. It's a 1997 k1500 2 door Yukon SLE. It was a government of Canada fleet vehicle and still has period correct decals on the roof. 186,000km and it's insanely rust free for a Canadian vehicle. Glad to be here, and can't wait...
