    5.7 vortec vs 5.3l or 6.0 swap

    Can confirm: doing an LS swap or major engine upgrades on a work truck takes time away from profit. Started one last year about this time because my work was slow, about three weeks into it I started getting work, and more work, and stayed busy. “Project truck” gets worked on late at night or...

    411 Swap

    Crankshaft? when did that happen? Cap, rotor, coil can all be AC Delco from Rock Auto and even Amazon. Most of the forums I read and FB groups I am in the common threads are if it's anything other than AC Delco for these trucks it's pretty much a krap shoot with the emphasis on Krap. New spider...

    Gouges on rear counterweights Vortec 7.4

    Never seen anything like this, literally gouges on the last three counterweights of a mid to late 90's Vortec 7.4. I rotated the crank around, it's not hitting piston skirts. I pushed on pistons, no movement noted. Went to check clearance between skirts and weights and can fit a stack of feeler...

    Loud Whine from Transmission Today

    Just throwing this out on the table for conversation, go easy on your mechanic cursing, remember new aftermarket parts are only new when in the box... once installed they are only as good as the Chinese metal they're cast from. If it's not genuine AC Delco, even that's questionable for our older...

    Got a lot of info off this site, thank you all!

    Found this site from another, can't exactly remember, glad to see posts from so many people that still love these old trucks. My crew: '97 GMC Suburban, 285,000 on the odometer and still running strong. Moved a Boss 8' plow from my '02 Sierra 2500 HD to it last year. Had the old Fisher with...
