    4L60e vs 4L65e

    Alright folks, I finally got my burb up and running and in decent condition. Now it seems like the transmission is on it's way out. I've considered a 4L80e, and still kinda am, but right now the amount of work that would be required to do that swap isnt in my schedule. Now it's my understanding...

    5.0 305 vs 5.7 350

    How exactly do you tell the difference? A guy in my automotive class wants to know exactly what engine he has in his 96. When he bought it, he was told it was a 6 cylinder, which he knew was blatantly wrong. His underhood sticker says 5.0, which would make it a 305. But it looks IDENTICAL to my...

    Are all C1500 leafs created equal?

    I was wondering is there's a difference between the leaf springs on a half-ton Burb and the leaf springs on a half-ton pickup. I tend to keep the third row out, and the cargo area fairly unloaded, and the thing rides like a dump truck. I was wondering if the leafs on the pickups were a lower...

    Now what?

    Well as some of y'all may or may not know, my (now ex) girlfriend managed to overheat my suburban and both heads wound up cracked and being replaced. Well after a few months of being apart and turning into a lawn ornament, my suburban is back into running condition. Problem is that it's far from...

    Not quite a 400, but still a GM

    About a month or so ago, my girlfriend's 96 Camaro just shut off while driving. We figured it had run out of gas at the time, since we were low and on our way to get gas. By the time someone showed up with a couple gallons of gas, we battery decided it wanted to die, so we attempted to jump it...

    Getting ready to order what I need to replace my fuel injectors, just want to make sure I order everything I need at once so I'm not sitting around waiting on parts. Fuel Injector Assembly: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dfp-fj10566/ Gaskets: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fel-ms90269...

    Synthetic Oil Filter

    So, I'm due for an oil change. I decided after my last one that I was going to go to synthetic oil with my next change. My question is though, which filter should I use? I was going to get one of those K&N Wrench-On filters, but I'm not sure of using synthetic oil requires a synthetic oil...

    18" Jeep rims

    http://waco.craigslist.org/pts/4153859119.html Will those fit our trucks? I kinda like their look. And for $100, I cant go wrong. If they look like sh!t, then I'll just turn around and re-sell them.

    Another Marine Intake Question

    I've looked around at different places about the marine intake swap, but all they say is what has to be done to the intake to get it to work. But is there anything that needs to be done to the electrical system or is it still pretty much plug-and-play? Like, it there anything that needs to be...

    First Time Towing

    Is there anything I should know? I dont know what size trailer it's going to be, but I imagine it wont be massive. It's just being used to haul some trash that my buddies inherited when they moved into their trailer. So I wouldnt put it over 500lbs of stuff on the trailer. And I know my...

    Knowledge Base

    Where did everyone gain their knowledge of engines? Mainly how to rebuild them? Or has everyone here generally been raised in the environment/ trial-n-error'd their way through. En lieu of my recent accident, I've decided to not throw more money into attempting to work around the frame being...

    1 Ton Brake upgrade

    As some of you may know, I got into an accident this afternoon because of $hitty brakes, so I think it's about time I put the 1 ton brake upgrade up my priority list. Does anyone have a parts list to do it? I tried looking around the site but couldnt find anything other than "You should totally...

    It's been a long day...

    Got in an accident today... Rear ended a Ford when my brakes decided that having the pedal touch the floor wasnt enough. Was going about 30 when it happened. Came around a roundabout and clearly saw the Ford and began slowing down. Looked over my shoulder at the on-coming traffic and saw a car...

    88-89 headlights

    Are the two sets of headlights (low beam high beam) housing interchangeable? Like could I put the low beams on the inner spot and the high beam on the outside?

    Thinking of tearing into it

    I'm considering just starting to tear into my engine to hunt down the issue with the running rich and such. Exactly how far in can I go, before it becomes a point of no return? As in, replacing gaskets and such. How far can I go before I have to start spending money rather than just time?

    Update on all my engine issues

    As a lot of you may remember, I've had problems left and right with my Suburban. Running rich, long crank time, etc. Well the other day my grandfather was riding with me, and as we were coasting downhill, it backfired a little bit (it's done this for awhile, I've just never thought anything...

    HVAC Short...

    Well folks, it's official. I have a short in the HVAC controls of my 99 Suburban. The idea has been tossed around, but I thought nothing of it. Well, tonight proved it. My AC compressor stays engaged, button on or not. Also, I get more air flow through the vents with the fan control OFF than...

    Texas Meetup?

    I know this is probably going to be a huge stretch, but who would be interested in possibly a 4th of July meetup? I know a nice size field (next to a road so it's not in BFE and half of us get stuck) close to where our local fireworks display is usually put on every year. It would be a generally...

    No A/C in the summer heat...

    Middle of last summer, my A/C stopped working. Didnt worry much about it because we didnt have the money or means to save up. Now that summer is coming back around, we're going to need it. The A/C had one problem before it stopped working. It was constantly on if the A/C button was pressed, even...

    Trying to die

    Yesterday afternoon, I disconnected the power wire for the amp that the previous owner had installed. I didnt have to disconnect the rest of the wires from the battery (previous owner put an aftermarket positive terminal with an extra nut on top for the power wire), so I didnt think anything of...
