    Running a heavier oil

    Hello everyone, 98 GMC K1500, 5.7, 184K miles. My Truck runs well but has the annoying lifter tick. When I cold start it, it doesnt tick at all. After approx 10 minutes and the engine temp starts getting to 175 or so the tick starts. Im 99% certain its not a leaky exhaust gasket. Sound is coming...

    Fuel pump retaining ring

    Hello all, 98 GMC K1500 5.7L. Im changing the fuel pump and wondering if anyone has an idea what the ring that locks the pump in place is called? and if I can get one. I've got the tank down and the ring is very corroded. Chunks are coming off of it. I cleaned it up best I could but now with the...

    Power steering failed...again!

    I've pulled the pump and I'm waiting on the replacement. Since it came without the reservoir and I'm turning it in for warranty, I pulled the reservoir off. Found the metal ring that holds the back plate has come out of the groove that it sits in and the sealing o-ring has pushed out causing the...

    Power steering failed...again!

    No to the pressure gage. Just observed absolutely no assist while turning. The pump is turning and no fluid loss. The previous pump came with the relief delete. The "C" shaped hard line and the instructions said to pull the electrical plug off and tie it up out of the way. Would not throw any...

    98 K1500 A/C leak diagnosis

    I have a 98 K1500 with the 5.7. Last summer (2022) I worked on the A/C and charged it after not working since i bought it. It blew cold, only for the charge to go away after about a week. It short cycled until the compressor never engaged again. Obviously i assumed a leak. Just this last friday...

    Fuel pressure regulator leaking internally?

    Thanks Tom. Your right, dont jump to conclusions. A little history on mine, I bought it Feb 22. Noticed the fuel pump was extremely loud. I could here it while driving. Then one day it got quiet, like it was a normal pump sound and thats when the long crank started. Long crank is about 5-6...

    Fuel pressure regulator leaking internally?

    Installed new regulator and didn't change anything. $61 so no great loss. Oh well, it still runs pretty good, maybe better. I haven't test driven it yet. Fuel pump is what's left in the system and I've got one in the garage that I planned on installing eventually so I'll post after that.

    Fuel pressure regulator leaking internally?

    Hello all, my 98 1500 stock 5.7L vortec (185k miles) started having long crank issues. Put a fuel pressure gage on it and when the key is turned on, the pressure jumps to 62-64. But as soon as the relay clicks the pressure drops to 0 within 15 seconds. Pulled the plenum top expecting to see the...
