    Another 454 Vortec Build Thread - Documenting, Q&A, Help

    Many are listed as fitting, but most are the wrong pressure. I would not order a single one unless the pressure is listed in the description so you know it's the proper one. I ordered 3 or 4 before i found the proper one.

    Another 454 Vortec Build Thread - Documenting, Q&A, Help

    Be careful on what FPR you order. Several wrong ones will fit, but only a few have the proper pressure and i can not remember the number of the proper one.

I plan on covering the box and drawer in marine vinyl but will wait till it's about the last thing to do. Still need to get some wiring done and order a 12V tv...

The house batteries with run a 2000w Renology inverter, 12v fridge/freezer, LED lights, 12v LED outdoor lights. Few other things i have not thought...

    Apps that read CMP Retard Offset?

    I was also using Dash Command to read cmp, worked great. Later i seen a good deal for a Snap on Solus pro scanner that will read up to 2010 for $300 and bought it. WAY better than Dash Command.

    Weird question about a bypass filter

    My buddy's dad had a Franz filter on a Toyota motor home with 230K. I was there one day when they were changing the oil and filters. I remember he had about 4k since the last change. The old oil still looked new. The Franz filter used toilet paper roll for the filter medium. When it was taken...

    Aluminum wheel spacer fail on 14bff

    1999 Suburban 7.4 engine swap to 502

    From what i remember when i was researching you will need to have the thickness of the reluctor machined off the rear of the dampener. Something like .060? Measure yours and you will know for sure. You might also need a new timing chain because only a single roller will fit under the vortec...

    Finally, got the rear differential rebuilt today. New ring and pinion, bearings. Still noisy though around 40 to 55mph. Way better than it was for sure. Maybe it will quiet down after it's ran a while? Super nice guy. Showed me pictures of the pattern after it was done and from the pics it...

    Got the old cap rotor changed today and it was not pretty. Surprised i had no misfires after see the inside. I wanted to see what the phasing thing was all about so i hogged out a couple holes in the old cap and put it back on. From what i could tell it looked like the spark was jumping less...

    GOT a van!

    I did not take a pic of the other side of the ecu circuit board but it was way worse than the top? (posted pic). It was bridged all over the place with that white fluffy stuff and it had a little of the green crusties going on. I certainly don't mind posting wins/fails as thats some of why we...

    Here is the reading you asked for. KOEO before start up. I dont know what the ambient outside temp was but it's 45 out now so i imagine it was close to 41 when i took the reading.

    Thank you for the link and info. I still have not got the tuneup done as it is running fine since the ecu was changed, So working on more important things first. I will make an effort to get that reading again for you later today.

    GOT a van!

    Finally got the defrost fixed now that winter is almost over. Turned out to be a bad vacuum actuator. PITA to get to. Had to remove the passenger seat to have enough room to work under the dash but, Still way easier than removing a dash to replace blend doors on a PU. Got the rear wheel...

    Anyone ever change out a crank position sensor?

    The easiest way i found to measure the depth was with a micrometer. Measure from the timing cover where the CPS goes into it and make sure the reluctor is on one of the high points. It's easy to measure the CPS insertable length, add a little math and you have the clearance, or lack of.

    Totally the opposite for me. I have never lowered a vehicle. I don't even know how long it's been since the last 2wd i owned. I dunno, my gut tells me they both are probably about the same quality.

    @Supercharged111 I actually have a set of 1990 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton 4x4 axles and don't think the thought has not crossed my mind:) Most of the work i could do myself and have the ability to collect up the parts i would need. Problem is i don't know what exact parts i would need.

    GOT a van!

    Because where i go camping and playing in the woods i need more ground clearance. Actually im kinda worried about having a 2wd van but just no way to afford a 4wd high top van for camping so lifted 2wd high top will have to do.

    GOT a van!

    One of the problems i have with this van is, It sits to low and i need to raise it. Researching around and looking at Spindle lifts for a 1500 express van i can find a 4in lift listed from Trekline motorsports for $350. Looking at GM at the spindle part number GM 18060573. It shows to...
