    Cody_350, Your tire thread is posted in the wrong section.

    Its posted in the offroad build threads section, which don't let anyone else reply to it. Those threads are made to post all your info on without anyone chit-chatting in the middle of your thread, that way your truck can be followed from start to finish. Please re-post in a non-build thread.

    Strange brake issue

    Well guys, my 1998 k2500 is having braking issues. Its only got 3 wheel brakes. Drivers front will not slide, even on ice. Other 3 will lock up and slide (abs has been unplugged since i owned the truck). Then, randomly, without even pressing the brakes, the drivers front brake will lock up...

    Speedometer not working on my 94

    Over Christmas, my girlfriend's car motor took a dump (timing belt broke on her kia, destroyed the whole engine). I bought a 94 1/2 ton long bed i knew where was for $400. It had a nv4500 trans, and a blown up 4.3 v6. Had a new pair of heads with it, and i had a low mile 4.3 with a cracked head...

    Ok guys, not a GMT 400, but thinking about buying it... Vortec 350 swap??

    http://northmiss.craigslist.org/cto/4831975999.html It looks like its in pretty good shape as far as a unrestored 53 model truck goes. Any opinions on it??

    Cool, but slightly overpriced.

    http://wausau.craigslist.org/cto/4831259821.html Im pretty sure i could build it for WAY less than that.

    Any of you 700r4 guys shifting 3-4 at WOT?? (street/strip guys, i need you)

    Since i have been working on my Camaro, i have realized that i am speed limited to about 120 because my trans won't shift 3rd to 4th gear under heavy throttle. Anything over 1/2 throttle or so will force a downshift, even if it sends the RPMs into the 6000 range. I have learned that this is not...

    Jrgunn5150 Airbox lid / elbow purchace

    Jrgunn5150 bought an airbox lid and elbow from me last week. We agreed on a price and I shipped the parts to him. I do not have paypal or anything of the sort, so we settled on a moneygram as method of payment. There was a mix-up with the moneygram, but Jrgunn5150 went above and beyond to get it...

    Anyone need a driveshaft?

    http://www.powernationtv.com/?p=6428 This method can also be used to shorten a junkyard shaft if you find the one you need, but its just too long. My only advice different from his is to tack it in 3 places to keep it from drawing when you weld it.

    How to test a front actuator

    I need some info on testing a front actuator on my 4x4. The 4x4 did not work on the truck when i got it. I pulled the actuator out of my 1/2 ton and slapped it in it and it worked perfectly (complete shot in the dark tho). Went to engage my 4x4 to pull out of a ditch last night behind the shop...

    Sounds like air brakes on a 18-wheeler

    My 2500 (14b FF axle) is developing some brake noise different than any automobile i have ever heard. Its coming from the rear passenger drum. It sounds exactly like the humming sound common to 18-wheelers when in town or slowly braking. Its not a squeal or screech, but more of a vibrating...

    I have been compiling this info for a while, finally got around to posting it. I could not find a thread on here that outlined the actual differences in the automatic transmissions of our trucks. Feel free to comment or ask questions if you need anything. I BELIEVE all this is correct, but feel...

    94 yukon ran bad, then quit, now won't start at all

    Buddies truck, 94 2 door yukon 4x4. Lifted on 37" boggers. TBI 350. He started complaining of a lack of power. Then it got to where it was sputtering and backfiring. The problems would last for a few miles then clear up. Over time it got worse until it never would clear up and run right. So he...

    http://northmiss.craigslist.org/cto/4513704383.html Not sure this one is worth the price either.

    Is it worth it?

    Passlock Bypass

    So, I couldn find any thread that could confirm exactly how to bypass the passlock on my 98 k2500. I started having issues out of it going into tamper mode a couple of weeks ago, and last night the passlock module in the ignition switch completely bit the dust. This also will bypass the passlock...

    Passlock issues :(

    Well, my 98 almost left me stranded Saturday night. It would start and immediately die, and my security light was flashing. After i did a passlock re-learn (thankfully knew the procedure off the top of my head), it worked fine. Everything is back to normal. I am looking at doing a permanent...

    The little blazer that could.

    So, a while back, i bought this 88 s10 blazer for next to nothing. Its got a tbi 4.3 in it and a 700r4 trans. Its a tahoe, so its loaded, and everything works including the air. I came across the idea for this lift kit from the guys from realift.com, and decided to make my own version. Here is...

    98 Vortec miss at 2500 rpm when NOT under load

    I have a 1998 k2500 5 speed that i have just built. The engine came from the truck in my signature. I ran it for a while on a stock ecm and had problems out of it missing if you revved it to 2500 rpm when not under load (say holding a steady 2500 rpm in 2nd gear). I assumed it was from the built...

    Valvoline Synchromesh

    Does anyone know if this oil is approved for a nv4500 transmission? The application guide does not show a direct cross for it, but it does for the nv3500. Its $8.00 a qt. compared to whatever the dealer charges for the gm stuff. What is special about the oil that the nv4500 needs?

    1998 single cab power window swap.

    I have done some searching but can only find info on the old interior. Has anyone successfully changed a new style interior truck from manual windows to power? Both doors on my truck have power windows and nice door panels, so i don't want to convert back to manual windows in my new doors. Can i...
