    '96 K1500 5.7 Crank no start, no changes.

    when my (1994) truck died I thought it was the fuel pump, so I cut a hole in the floor, there was no way I was going to drop the tank by myself in below 0 temps + skid plate on the tank + bolts tend to snap when I unscrew something on this machine so the hole cutting was the only choice long...

    '97 Suburban 1500 ressurection

    the roof on my suburban is a mixture of bondo, permatex rtv, electrical tape and rust paint, all of them are black so they blend in real nice. from 10 feet away you can't tell it from the real thing, hey, it keeps the moisture and from the inside you can't the difference on the hood the rust...

    Daily truck pics

    I frequently come across examples like this here in the Quebec City - Toronto corridor, this one: GMC Sierra 1998 4x4, 115 000 miles, they're asking $1800 USD, my question, is there any way to make money importing these into the US? I mean I would just fill it up with gas and drive it to...

    Offsets vs spacers?????

    There is nothing wrong with aluminium, just make sure your spacers are hubcentric and forged. I've used spacers on many vehicles at over 100mph and never had any issues. Use a torque wrench, after like 10 miles, re-torque to make sure. The next problem you're going to run into is that you want...

    1999 K1500 5.7 Suburban, Rear Shocks to Frame, No Nuts?

    I went through this, the j-nuts snapped and would just spin and spin making them impossible to get out, I had to spend hours with pliers and vicegrips without success, if I remember correctly I had to shove a metal rod in there and make it bite into the nut to finally lock it in place allowing...

    Hard to start - hunting & stumbling - only when cold.

    I got a similar issue on my tbi 94 suburban Here in Montreal we get humidity from 15 to 100 and it dont make no difference. Temperature from -30 to 100+ as soon as it gets to be over 60 the issue is "gone" below that, the colder it is, the worse it gets. At -30 the truck will misfire every few...

    How many GMT-400 forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

    turbo bulbs shine brighter but have a shorter lifespan and when fail can result in costly repairs

    doors rattle when hitting bumps in road.

    lift with 2x4, will try that vinyl/surgical tubing, going to put that on my shopping list should also mention that on the tailgate the strikers came insulated from the factory vs the doors they look to be bare, either way seems like the replacement of the striker wont solve anything but the...

    1992 z71 2wd?

    the answer is no if you want to be 100%, look at the RPO codes of truck in question, you will see all the details in there and then start guessing what the previous owners were butchering

    GM Part Number for Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    great, one more wrong size, here's the plan then, I will go to Home Depot or Grainger Industrial or some other place where I can find some quality bolts, which likely will be very hard/impossible to find flanged, the extra washer or two sounds like a good solution, I will put the bolts side by...

    doors rattle when hitting bumps in road.

    you mean the weather stripping? i pulled it all out and stuffed it with styrofoam tubing to "fatten" it up, that did help a lot, video link: also, i know the electrical tape not a long term solution, but it's very inexpensive and it works, no it does not jam the mechanism, it just falls off...

    GM Part Number for Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    now i'm more confused than before, all the parts listed on rockauto and summit and amazon have a ton of negative comments mentioning that all the sites sell the wrong bolts, needed are 2 1/4" and sold are 2 1/2"

    doors rattle when hitting bumps in road.

    doors on the burb rattle like mad going over poor roads, decided to wrap electrical tape around the strikers on the 4 doors and around the tailgate, put several layers, enough that the door becomes noticeably harder to close, then bathed the striker, locking mechanism and hinges generously with...

    RTV silicone on pan corners?

    i think grandma in the video sums it up pretty well, i put RTV instead of gaskets (24h to dry), to seal holes the roof, fix panel gaps, leaks around the windshield, secure rattling plastic pieces on the inside, etc. stuff is great

    1994 Suburban C1500 Broken shock mount

    back from the scrap yard, sadly i saw two gmt400s in there :( 93 & 96 extended cab long bed, they both had 4 leaf springs where the suburban has 6, then the frame is different, then the shock mounts are different, the trucks i looked at both had a round-style mount as seen in the video above and...

    1994 Suburban C1500 Broken shock mount

    yes, up here they salt until the cows come home, that being said the fact that the burb was generously bathed in oil over 3 decades has kept it (mostly) alive this far and i intend to continue to drown it in more oil on a regular basis as for that frame, i guess it's off to the scrap yard for me...
