    Longbed to Shortbed Swap?

    Hey buddy I don't know if you're still around but you inspired me to do this to my truck. I'm gathering parts and have a couple questions. What did you do for brake lines, fuel lines, and your tank crossmember? Thank you!

    Starter problems after intake gasket replacement???

    That's one of the first things I thought so I unhooked the battery and let it sit then hooked it back up and nothing so next I did the key cycle that's suppose to reset it and once again nothing changed. I've had these body style trucks since high school and I thought I knew a lot about them but...

    Starter problems after intake gasket replacement???

    The ground is good and there's no power to the wire at the starter or the relay box. I was doing some quick checking with a test light and when I checked the yellow wire coming out of the ignition switch that's supposed to send 12 volts it started cranking. Wth? Why would it crank with a 12v...

    Starter problems after intake gasket replacement???

    I have a buddy with a 2000 Z71 Tahoe 5.7 vortec that needed intake gaskets so I replaced them and now the starter will not engage! Starter tested good and if you jump the relay it kicks on. Swapped relays and nothing changed so we proceeded to change the ignition key switch, ignition swith, and...

    Rough Country 2-3 inch suspension lift vs 4 inch suspension lift

    The 3 inch is just cranking the t-bars and has upper a arms and like a 1 inch diff drop. I had it on my 94 and hated it! Rode like crap, wore front end parts out, and my a arms always hit the sway bar links. Sold it and got the 6 inch kit and loved it. Its a full drop kit which will lift it by...

    $22,000?

    I agree, low teens at the most! I gave 7,100 for mine granted it did have a little over twice the miles but almost same shape(his being 100% perfect and mine being 98% at least) and mine was also a 1 owner garage kept truck. He's nuts, but has a beautiful truck!

    Floor mats on Vinyl Floors

    Weather techs fit the floor perfect and have the hooks to keep them from sliding. Best floor mats you can get IMO

    anyone make their own dash rattlestops like lmc or wakerj sells?

    I would, but I have everything I need to make them at work and technically I would be getting paid to make them too haha. I've seen where some people have made them but if no one knows the measurements I'll just trial and error til I get it right

    anyone make their own dash rattlestops like lmc or wakerj sells?

    I just ordered a dash cover for my truck and want to make a set before it gets here since my dash just started to crack. I have the metal, plasma cutter, and a sheet metal break so I know I can make a set but would like to know the measurements you used, most importantly the angle you bent it...

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    Got the O2 sensor on today and also changed the fuel filter just for the hell of it. The truck is running a little better but not 100%. I noticed yesterday its leaking oil from the back of the intake so the gaskets have failed after 4 months! I guess I'm gonna check the fuel pressure to...

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    I have a feeling its gonna be the #5 injector that's gonna be messed up and setting off the O2 code. If the sensor don't fix it I'll be sure to get the code number and hopefully go from there. I'm planning on the spider upgrade anyway when taxes come in lol.

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    They never told me. Just said bank 1 sensor 1. I put a cap and rotor on today also and has helped cleared it up some. It does it on start up and very very little at idle now. I'm gonna replace the o2 tomorrow and if that don't work I'm gonna try to find a tech II or snap on scanner to dig a...

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    Wouldn't it cause a random misfire code rather than just cylinder 5 if it was the spider assembly?

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    I got the codes read today but haven't got to check fuel pressure yet. Codes are cylinder #5 misfire and bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor. It had plugs, wires, and dizzy cap replaced in October. Y'all still think it could be fuel related?

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    I'll have to look at the receipt and see if it was changed with the plugs. I just got the truck from the original owner and he said its always idled rough as long as he could remember. He had just had the plugs and wires done before I bought it so if it was changed then its only a couple months...

    98 5.7 vortec fuel problem?

    Truck has 160k, new delco plugs, wires, and the intake gaskets have been replaced. Symptoms: rough idle, when its cold it turns over a while before it fires, and has a loss of power. It also rarely will downshift pulling hills unless you make it. My cel don't work so I don't know if it has...

    Alright, well I'm new to the forum but not to the 400s. I've had a 93 2wd, 95 Z71, and a 94 Z71. I just recently sold my duramax and now I'm back in a 400. I searched all over the south and finally found the truck I always wanted a 98 ecsb Z71 with the heavy half ton option. It was a one owner...

    EBay Air Intake

    You get what you pay for! I bought the exact same intake for my 94 and 1. The supplied bracket wouldn't mount anywhere and 2. The plenum would never sit on the throttle body correctly and always left a gap. I would save for a name brand one. Mine wound up being just a piece of $65 scrap metal
