    Hello everyone I have a 1988 Chevy c1500 that I’ve found a new problem with, it’s got a L05 5.7 liter 350 2 bolt main. First of all I did a cam swap for a cl122494 cam from comp. I’m not happy with the install as the cam was made primarily for Vortec heads and my engine runs lean now so...

    “Duramax fan”

    Hi everyone I’ve been reading up on this forum about the different cooling fans available for our trucks. It’s been a mixed bag but it sounds like there’s a fan out there called a duramax fan, it has 9 blades, is this something I could find at a junk yard? And if so what engine/models. What...
