    Looking for brake upgrade C3500 CC DRW

    The truck has hydroboost, not a fan. Thru a belt a few years ago, lost steering and brakes! Not fun at 70 mph. What brake controller would you guys suggest? I have a Redarc, The problem I see is if you don't start slowing down the accelarometer doesn't provide any braking.

    Looking for brake upgrade C3500 CC DRW

    I have a 96 C3500 CC DRW, 7.4L 4L80E. I am looking for a brake upgrade for towing. I recently trailered a Trailblazer SS on a open trailer and it was kind of sketchy. I think I need a better brake controller as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Craig

    Another A/C Problem thread

    The A/C in the truck works sometimes. On initial startup it works. It works when I am driving. However if I get into traffic (stop and go) it stops working. Also if I stop for gas or at a store it doesn't work on starting the truck. Normally if I can drive several miles it starts working...

    Looking for better towing in my 96 DRW CCLB L29

    I would really prefer going with the Cummins. I had a 99 24 valve that pulled this trailer just fine and got 10+ MPG doing so. Does anyone know of a swap kit? I would also need info for modifying the wiring harness. Thanks Craig

    Power seat question

    Tried them, real nice guys, but they couldn't help me. The suggested cutting the connector off my existing seats and wiring it into the new seats. I'm trying to avoid that if possible. Thanks Craig

    Solder vs crimps

    I use non-insulated crimp connectors, I have a high quality crimper. I then use heavy duty heat shrink, it has a glue inside the heat shrink that melts when heated. This creates a sealed connection that won't allow water into the connection so no corrosion. I am not against soldering but it...

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    Yes the L29 is port injection. But the intake is a limiting factor when trying to achieve more power. With a 4150 style intake modified to accept injectors in the intake runners it appears that the A/C line would interfere with the fuel rails for those injectors, they would be trying to occupy...

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    I figured that. The problem I see is the A/C lines run down the drivers side over the edge of the intake. It looks like they would interefer with injectors or fuel rails if you tried to use port injection.

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    Is it possible to use the L19 accessory drive on the L29? I'm wondering because this would shift the A/C compressor to the passenger side. Then you could replace the intake with a standard dual plane style intake. This would provide options for making more power. Just wondering Thanks Craig

    Don't know the RPO code. I knew a guy that had one. They also had a truck called the Long Foot 12 ft bed!

    K3500 extra long bed

    10 ft beds were available for fleet purchases. Not real common. If it is part of a fleet purchase that could also explain the narrow dually rear. You would to see the RPO codes to verify this.
