    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    I was sure that I was digging through a 93--94 service manual and it talked about a scan tool for the RWAL. Maybe I misunderstood, and the manual was talking about the SUVs with the EBC4 system. I don't remember any more. A person could verify with a service manual for the pickups new enough...

    Steering column/intermediate shaft

    The telescoping is stiff. Whack it harder, and it'll expand.

    CAT Delete Pipe Needed

    He's given no indication that this is an "off-road" vehicle. If it's got a license plate, what he wanted is illegal. The EPA is trying to make it illegal to remove emissions equipment from racing cars 'n' trucks. They haven't gotten there yet, but they're trying. The RPM Act would fix that...

    Need help with shaking.

    You've posting in the Engine section. Is this an engine-roughness/misfire/engine balance problem, or a chassis/suspension/tire/wheel balance instability?

    Marine intake up for grabs. (Free to good home.)

    Thank You, Jake. Pleased to meet you even if it was raining. Keep things going up 'n' down.

    Do I have to use same ECM with same spider injectors

    What does this mean? The rotor pointed to the cylinder on the front left corner of the engine? The rotor pointed to the #1 spark plug wire on the cap? The rotor pointed to the #1 terminal INSIDE the cap? The service manual has the entire CORRECT procedure for stabbing the Vortec distributor...

    Time for catalytic converters, or not

    WHICH code? WHICH sensor? Upstream? Downstream? You have an O2 sensor code. Why are you thinking of catalytic converter(s)?

    CAT Delete Pipe Needed

    "Catalyst delete pipes" have been ILLEGAL for decades. Of course you're not finding any for sale. "Any muffler shop" can be fined $10,000 for deleting your catalyst. Good luck. What you want is TOTALLY against Federal law. The only thing you have going for you is that there isn't a lot of...

    Front axle seal

    7500 and less = 6-lug 8600+ = 8-lug. 6-lug trucks are going to get the 8.25" front differential. 8-lugs probably getting the 9.25" differential.

    So Many Options

    1500 with JB5? Your truck has the craptastic 254mm (10") leading/trailing shoe drums. I really despise them, but upgrading a 2WD to the better axle and better brakes is more expensive than upgrading a 4WD. If you keep the leading/trailing shoe brakes, be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the park brake...

    14 Bolt Rear Bearing Slop

    Is this a G80 differential in a 9.5" semi-float? A G80 with worn clutches will have excess axial play.

    Steering column/intermediate shaft

    Perhaps a moderator will move this thread out of ENGINES and into Stock Suspension + Bolt On Kits. When I replaced the shaft on my truck, I connected the shaft at the upper point first; then connected the rag joint end.

    Thinking teardown

    Yup, valves can get stuck, and the spring won't pop 'em free. This does the valve and the guide no good whatsoever; and if the piston hits the open valve, there's trouble in paradise. Lucky. "Lash" refers to a specific clearance in the valvetrain. Hydraulic lifters generally run with...

    97 Chevy 3500 7.4 rough running and overheating

    The Usual Three: 1. Verify fuel pressure at prime, at idle, and under load. 2. How old are the usual "tune-up" parts and procedures? Cap, rotor, plug wires, spark plugs? Verify EGR, PCV, EVAP, and heated-air intake systems. Verify spark power with a spark-tester calibrated for HEI. How...
