    Differential swap

    I have a rear differential with disk brakes out of a 2004 tahoe. I'm thinking about putting it into my 86 k10. Can it be done without alot of Fab work. I know it will have to be cleaned up, and the perches will have to be welded in place,. But it does have the same gear ratio as my front 10...

    3/4 ton axle swap

    My truck had factory 3.08s, I swapped front and rear axles from a 1989 k10 suburban with 3.73s. Everything was a direct swap, and I kept my nice 6 lug wheels. There is big difference in power to the ground between 3.08sand 3.73s, especially if you have tall tires. I have a thread on the swap...

    Rough running, then no start after head gasket swap

    I had the same issue when I replaced the heads on my Yukon. I had over adjusted the rockers. I loosened them up a bit and fired right up and stayed running.

    JUST PICKED UP A 1999 YUKON SLT4X4

    Hello everybody, I just bought a 1999 Yukon, I have a bad u joint in the front driveshaft transfer case side. My problem is, I unbolted the straps from the u joint on the differential side, but I can't get the shaft to slide into the tc to remove it. I tried a big ass prybar between the yoke and...

    Head gasket question

    I'm doing a head gasket job on my vortec 5.7. I ordered the felpro gasket set from rockauto, and they don't have any stamping "this side up". Can anybody tell me which side goes up on these gaskets?

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    I did, she had a temporary, 30 day permit on her windsheild, which leads me to believe she didn't have insurance. I also contacted the DMV and notified them of the crime. I hope she's driving around with a suspended temporary permit, and gets stopped by the police, and gets it towed away. and it...

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    I had just passed emissions testing the day before, and had put just liability insurance, figured i wasnt done working on it, and wouldn't be driving around all that much. So I'm screwed if she don't admit to it, and she won't. I waited last nigh for the car to show up, and it did, at 11:20pm...

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    I spend all this time and effort, getting this truck running, and this happens. ******* hit and run. The neighbor of a friend of mine, at an apt complex backed up her car with her door open, and caught the side of my truck. She hid her car for two days, and denied the whole thing. Police said...

    Just started on the vent window overhaul

    Thanks, I'm sure ill be picking your brain when I get on mine. Are they a tight fit inside the channel, so as to not let rain water inside the door?

    Looks good. I was looking at your pictures, I thought the rubber was supposed to spread around/outside the door frame channel, instead of inside the door frame channel, when installed. I'm getting ready to do mine also.

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    Well, I've put about 500 miles on the truck, I'm still trying to figure out the scraping sound on the tranny. Still has that pulsing forward movement while at stop lights in gear. I got a tranny filter and pan gasket(bad leak all over cross member) that I'm gonna try. I also noticed the truck...

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    Those little parts were only in the front passenger side, I did check for any play in the rotors, they seem to be fine, driver side front is a little tighter than the passenger side, when you rotate the rotors by hand. As far as the coolant leak, it hasn't leaked since. I think it might be the...

    Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500

    So, the truck is running awsome, no more noise fron the cat. Although I still have a noise comming from somewhere, like a subtle scraping, everytime I put it in gear, also the subtle Jerking at stop lights when I let off the brake and inch it forward. I've already put 347 miles on the truck...
