    Cummins Swap into '83 Blazer

    Hey guys, my Dad called me the other day and is thinking about swapping a 5.9 cummins into his 6.2 diesel Blazer. Someone told him that there was a kit available (or at least once was, he's been out of engine work for a while, haha) to help with the transplant, I was just wondering if any of you...

    315/75/16 tire options

    Hey guys, I know I've already beaten the forum around a few times looking for the best tires for what I'm doing. As a refresher the truck is going on a 4-6" RCX and getting some new shoes. 315/75/16 is the size I'm looking for and I'm going to buy new ones. I currently have some Mastercraft...

    Thread Deletion Thread

    Mods, please sticky. I'm not sure how everything on this site works, but I know the mods want to know when to delete certain threads so I figured it might be a good idea to start a thread so it is easier for them to find them all the threads that either went no where, craigslist/ebay finds that...

    Steering Stabilizers

    Necessary at what point (lift, tire size, how much offroading) and how much do they actually help with steering parts, yada yada?

    How much lift do you want? Here you go-

    Want to lift your truck? Not sure how high to go or what it would look like? These are all lifts that you can buy from local dealers or over the internet- I did not included SAS trucks. I might be late in warning you that this page is pic-heavy, but I'll tell you anyways. Not all of these...

    Electric Fans?

    I've just been hearing people say this again and again... I've only seen pics once or twice a while back. Is there a How-To thread for this somewhere? It sounds kind of interesting... what vehicles should I be looking in for fans, how hard is it to wire, do I need to tune for it, do I need to...

    Writeup: Throttle Blade Removal Mod

    On the inside of your throttle-body is a little blade that swivels back and forth when you press down the gas pedal, letting more or less air into the engine. On the edge of the plate is a small lip, which slows down the airflow, making for slower accelerations (which some people like). Removing...

    Tires / Rims

    Okay, fellers, a lot of you already know that I want to go bigger tires and wider rims, but I have a couple of questions: 1 - CAN I fit 15" rims on a '98? I've heard some say you can, some say you can't. And if I put on 1 ton calipers would I be able to still? (supposing I can?) 2 - 315 or...

    Upgrading Driving Lights

    Okay, so my folks got me some Baja Desert Fox driving lights. They are 55w halogens. I'm getting a diesel bumper (hopefully soon) so they should work perfectly. I've done some research and it seems that the included wiring is hardly up to par + they can handle a much brighter bulb so long as...

    Photoshop Member Trucks

    The photoshop competition brought this up and I thought it was an excellent idea- member post pics of their trucks here and then people edit them however they want to. RULES: 1 - post only one pic, and we do not move on until it is finished. That way we don't have thirteen billion trucks...

    Dreaming of next year....

    I want to stick some bigger tires on my truck, but I think I'll just wait until next year with snow season rolling around. 35" tires are what I'm looking to stick on, so I'm just planning/dreaming here. First off I've got 3.73 gears- how bad is this going to be on them? Would it be a lot better...

    Debadging vs. badges - pics

    Okay, here's the deal... I'm repainting my tailgate, and in the process I'm going to pull off my 'GMC' and 'Sierra' badges. I'm just pondering whether or not to do a thorough job of it and just scrape them ALL off, so I've done a little photo-editing and just curious as to what you all think...

    Best Stock 16" rims style

    6 bolt, older style smooth, later style Until I get myself some new rims, I was just seeing which one y'all think is a better lookin' stock 16" rim. Or hubcaps in this instance. And if you just so happen to like the late 80's with or without the snap-ring, you can vote for that too...

    What kind of mileage do you get?

    Just having a little fun here and seeing what you all get for mileage out of these trucks. I know they aren't built for mpg, but some people are blessed enough to get some awesome mileage. For me, I used to get 16 mpg without too much hassle. After the tires I get about 14 mpg. The best I ever...

    Body Lift Steps: N-fabs, Nerf Bars, Running Boards or nothing?

    Okay, I have a 3" bl on my truck (don't mind it in the least- I love it in fact) However, the running boards were driving me crazy so I ripped them off. I think it looks a lot better and don't really mind the frame hanging down too much. I was thinking about throwing some Nerf Bars on or...

    Vortec Lover's '98 K1500 Build

    Okay, since I plan to be doing tons of work on my truck, I felt that I might as well start a build thread to record the happenings. Like many of the guys on here, I am just out of school, so I don't have a ton of money to put into it just yet. As I get my pictures and stuff organized, I'll add...

    3" body lift - running boards vs. frame

    Hey, it's time for a classic question: Here's a lousy phone picture of my truck a few days ago (I have since stuck in gap gaurds) It has a 3" BL and I was thinking about pulling off the running boards, but was not certain if that was a good idea, since the frame will show up so much. I...

    GEARHEADZ - I need cam advice.

    I've been thinking about getting a new cam for my truck, and I have been recommended several different kinds. Someone on here recommended that I get an LT cam, which would give me a lot more upper rpm horse, but I would lose some low end torque. Some locals around here recommend that I get a...

    What mods can $1000 do for a 1998 Vortec 5.7?

    Hey, all! I have a 1998 GMC with a 5.7 Vortec that is pretty much stock. All that I have done to it is stick in a K & N Filter (which actually did raise my mileage by 3/4 of a gallon, to my surprise) and stick true dual exhaust on it with glass packs and tips. The engine has 132,000 miles on...
