    2004 Impala LS (3.8L) Questions

    So I was looking my mom's car over yesterday (2004 Impala LS 3.8L) and I noticed something. The main engine wiring harness connector runs over the top of the battery on the passenger side, and is supposed to be held in place on a support bracket by a little Christmas tree clip that's hooked...

    '97 C1500 Power Steering Parts Selection (EVO Delete)

    Sort of an unfortunate start to the morning today... I was driving across town in my red truck ('97 C1500 4.3L) and I noticed the power steering pump starting to make noise. It got louder as I got closer to home but I made it, checked the reservoir after I pulled it into the garage and the...

    Battery Charger for Deeply Discharged AGMs

    So after some recent issues with my old Schumacher Ship & Shore 10A "Smart" charger falsely reporting a few deeply discharged AGM batteries as "bad," I'm in the market for a new charger. I've been looking at several different options and I think I know what I need to do, but I just wanted to...

    Replacement Exterior Lighting Assemblies, TYC vs DEPO

    I've been tossing around the idea of going back to factory style lighting on both of my '97s. I already have some new Arteb/GM Brazil headlights for both and I'm working on a factory third brake light for the red truck, but I'll be buying everything else. It's all discontinued from GM at this...

    Parking Lamp Socket Gasket

    So I have some questions for everyone about the parking light sockets. Specifically the circular foam rubber gasket that is glued to them, as pictured here. I was replacing the parking light bulbs in my Suburban today and unfortunately a couple of these gaskets fell off. The ones that...

    '97 K1500 Suburban 5.7L Starter Choices

    Had a small issue starting my Suburban today while leaving a store. The starter seemed to engage, but the engine only turned a tiny bit and then the starter lugged and stopped. I waited a few seconds then hit the key again and it fired right up. It's done this a handful of times in the past...

    '97 K1500 Suburban Cruise Control Issue

    So I think I have this figured out... Just wanted to get some input from others before I buy the part. Long story short, I found out a couple days ago that the cruise control in my Suburban ('97 K1500) doesn't work properly when the windshield wipers are running. It will engage/set, but will...

    '95+ Gauge Cluster Lighting Questions

    I noticed earlier today that the indicator for my right turn signal in the Suburban's gauge cluster is not functioning, I'm assuming the bulb is burned out. I'd like to go ahead and replace all the bulbs when the cluster comes out as they're all original and likely near their EOL, but I'm not...

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    As per the title... I was shopping around today for a 5qt jug of conventional 5W-30 to replace the empty one from my garage stash, and I couldn't find any from the usual brands! Walmart and O'Reillys both only had synthetic blends or full synthetic. That prompted me to do a little research...

    Door Hinge Pins & Bushings, Cunningham Machine vs. New Greaseable GM?

    So it's time to do hinge pins and bushings on the driver's door of my Suburban... Again... Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on using the Cunningham Machine bushings with factory pins (which my trucks do not have any more unfortunately, I'd have to source those and the clips...

    Reproduction Standard/Crew Cab OEM Style 3rd Brake Light Lenses

    Just a heads up for anyone looking, RZLightz is now selling reproduction OEM style 3rd brake light lenses for '94+ standard and crew cab trucks. They don't do one for extended cabs unfortunately. They're expensive, but this is the only way I'm aware of to get a brand new lens for the OEM 3rd...

    High-End Vehicle CD Receivers Going Away?

    So this probably isn't news to many of you... But as the title states, high end aftermarket vehicle CD players seem to be going away entirely. I just found out this morning that Pioneer and Alpine have both discontinued their flagship sound quality oriented CD players, which is unfortunate...

    New GMT400 Parts From Holley

    I just mentioned this in another thread, but figured maybe it deserved its' own. I was browsing the Holley site this morning and I noticed that they have a ton of GMT400 parts available that I wasn't aware of. Everything from body sheet metal and trim to LED headlights for W/T grilles. If you...

    Strange Fuel Gauge Behavior, '97 C1500

    So yesterday I was getting in my red truck ('97 C1500) to go somewhere and I noticed something odd. I filled the tank up the night before, but when I started the truck the fuel gauge read completely empty sitting in my driveway. I knew it had gas, so I pulled out of the driveway and started...

    '95+ ABS Removal Questions

    To start with this thread is purely for research purposes as I don't intend on removing ABS on either of my trucks at this moment, or possibly ever. I've just been digging through some older threads and trying to learn more about removing the Kelsey Hayes 4 wheel ABS system from '95+ GMT400s...

    Brake Fluid Recommendations?

    So I'm going to be replacing a generous chunk of the brake system on my red truck ('97 C1500, JB5 brake package) and I was just curious to see what everyone's thoughts on brake fluid are. I see in my owner's manual that GM specifies DOT 3 fluid. They list a part number, 12377967, which comes...

    This isn't a traditional feedback thread here, I just wanted to give @Chilledspode a proper shout out for being an awesome guy. I recently spent a little (very little) time trying to help him find a good course of action for getting his non-airbag leather steering wheel replaced or repaired...

    Hoonigan AutoFocus GM Heritage Center Tour

    I was going to post this in the Chat thread, but I figured it was cool enough that it deserved its own thread. Larry Chen just released a one hour video on the Hoonigan AutoFocus YouTube channel of him touring the GM Heritage Center. It only shows around 150 of the approximately 750 vehicles...

    '97 C1500 4.3L V6 Catalytic Converter/Y-Pipe Recommendations

    So I just got home from my mechanic's shop with the red truck. ('97 C1500 4.3L) I was having him check out a strange noise for me at low RPM. Turns out my catalytic converter is failing. I'm a little disappointed because it's a Magnaflow 23457, which according to my research when I bought it...
