    Need help with Vortec 350 recurring hard-start/no-start

    Im am new to the gmt400 but not to wrenching on trucks. A couple of the toughest no start issues I learned on is to check the resistance range of electric parts.

    97 Silverado Restore

    Looks like a common issue. I just thought I had all my leaks fixed. Currently thinking of going with Denso Radiator. In the Toyota world, Denso is a great quality part and is used in some domestic cars and trucks. Any suggestions for a radiator brand?
