    Tunerpro help

    In the last few months I've gotten my rebuilt engine installed and running. It's been an adventure for sure but I'm pretty proud of the progress made. I did the break in for the cam and now I'm waiting on the new plate and registration. The problem I'm facing right now is the truck seems to...

    mystery wire

    The good news is after about 12 years I have an engine back in my truck. The not so good news is I have a few connections that I don't know where they go. The first is a purple wire that's in the same loom as the knock sensor. Any ideas where this connects?

    Power steering pulley no a/c

    I'm collecting parts for my 88 c1500 5.7 rebuild. I'm replacing pretty much everything which means I need a pulley for the new power steering pump. The truck has no a/c which means it uses a 4 rib serpentine belt. I have looked everywhere for a new 4 groove power steering pump pulley and...

    Greetings from PA

    Hello all. I've been lurking here a while and thought it was about time I officially joined. I've got a 1988 c1500 5.7L with a 5 speed. I drove the truck for a number of years in the late 90's until 2001 when it got parked because I moved out of state. Round abouts 2012 I built a garage at...
