    Tailgate hinge/trunnion rot

    My tailgate hangs has been very loose, especially when I’m the down position. When I looked into it, the bolts that hold the bed side trunnion in place had significant corrosion and the nut welded to the back of the interior bed panel for these bolts had fully rotted off the panel, giving the...

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    FIXED!! Brought the truck to a friend who had access to HP Tuners and a lot of experience with LS swaps. Trying to lower the idle RPM in HP Tuners was not possible as the IAC position was at 0%, so the truck is still acting like there is a vacuum leak when there is none. There is an orifice...

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    Quick update on this. I brought the truck to a tuner thinking they could find the problem on the computer side. Unfortunately they said they couldn't do anything until the idle was fixed and suggested I replace the IAC. Went the cheap route, got the Amazon special TPS and IAC, cleaned the TB at...

    Have you used off-brand injectors before or used GM injectors only?

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    Thanks guys. A coworker with HP tuners may be able to help me out with getting data before I head to the tuner in a week. One more thing I forgot to mention…it’s also doing what I think is called rpm hang. When I give it some gas in neutral, the rpm’s rise but take extra long to come back down...

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    Thanks for the input. I'll see about moving the MAF further from the throttle body, but the wire on the harness is only so long. The knock sensors were Amazon specials. Did you get you knock sensors from the chevy dealership? No info on the motor's miles. Came with the C10 (in the bed) and was...

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    I checked for vacuum leaks but attaching my air compressor to the brake booster line (5-10psi) with a latex glove over the intake at the MAF. The glove stays inflated for a long time when I turn off the air. Leaks were identified with soapy water. I'm confident there are no vacuum leaks (even...

    LS 5.3 High Idle

    I'm having a high idle issue, seems to be a common problem (according to the internet) but I haven't seen anything posted in these threads with all of your expert assistance. Embarrassingly enough, I think this has been an issue since swapping the motor in and I just never really picked up on it...

    What did you pay for a square

    This may be the best deal on here yet.

    Wheel and tire size help!!

    @bluex a while back I did the axle flip kit as you recommended (and while we are on the topic of lowering), currently procrastinating grinding off the stock bump stops to install low profile ones. The stock stops are resting on the axle...is there any damage that could happen to the axle for...

    Brake booster bolts

    Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious before punching holes in the firewall. Put two holes in it today. Turned out pretty good I think.

    Brake booster bolts

    Looking for advice on the upper bolts for the brake booster. The truck didn’t have a booster when I got it so I think that’s how it came stock. I can’t think of how to fasten the top of the brake booster to the truck. There’s just enough space to drop a thin nut behind the firewall bracket, no...

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    Great advice Zach, I'm going to take your advice and reroute the fuel line that way. What fitting did you use to go fuel rail quick disconnect to AN line?

    Vent window trick?

    I'm talking about gaps between the glass and gasket, along the bottom and the diagonal edges. I can get some photos of it tonight. The frame itself went back in the door no issues.
