    Asking for help to figure out what's going on, white exhaust valves?

    So I got a code for a lean bank 2 (P0174) and my truck was running terribly. I could barely get it backed out of the drive, ran rough, pinged and stumbled, no power at all. I pulled the intake to find the spider leaking, lots of raw fuel in the intake runners which confuses me about a lean code...

    Any problems removing oil pump when distrubutor shaft is removed?

    Hey guys, I hope everyone has been well. I've been freshening up my 5.0L Vortec in my 1998 K1500 with parts like a new spider injector to replace my horribly leaking old unit. I ended up having to replace my lower intake (broken heater outlet caused a crack in the manifold attempting to remove...

    And then this happened...

    So I'm changing out my spider injector and trying to squeeze my arms into places and I feel something pop and suddenly my arm has more room. The fitting on my outlet to my heater core broke off into my lower intake manifold. Time to remove the lower manifold now. Looks like it'll need drilled...

    Aftermarket core support, has anyone dealt with this?

    Alright guys I'm soooo close to driving my truck again that I can almost taste it (as in I miss it so much that I've shown it affection by licking the windows.... okay not really ) Joking aside I've come across an issue with my aftermarket core support.

    Fuel pressure within spec but won't fire without starting fluid.

    I've been working on getting my 1998 K1500 back on the road after almost 10 months of being torn apart. I installed a new fuel tank and pump earlier this year. The thing just refuses to fire without any starting fluid. I spray a little bit down the throttle body the engine acts like it wants it...

    Capping off A/C lines and electrical connectors?

    So I just finished pulling the entire A/C system from my truck and installed a bypass pulley. I'm leaving the evaporator core in so I have the two connector lines still just barely sticking out of the firewall (from the bottom line and the accumulator up top). Does anyone make caps that fit...

    Should I change up my front end? Help me decide. :)

Finally decided to get around repainting my truck this summer, and I've been thinking about changing up the front end to compliment the fresh look.
