hard crank (broken starter?) issues
Erick, hope that is all correct with your truck, but I doubt timing caused broken starter housing. Need to correct root cause of failure. Agree with starter brace concern. Good luck- Poppy 87

'97 350 Lt1 putting in an '87 gmc
You will need a longer throttle cable as well as trans detent cable. You will also want a fuel filter that will support the higher pressure, no biggie. Headers may be iffy as the LT1 has D shaped exhaust ports, might have to change exhaust flange not positive though. Good luck- Poppy 87

What have you done to your square lately??
Removed the 3 engines, 2 engine stands, and 4 tires from the truck bed and put into the garage. Took Ole Bessie out on a beer run! Holy glazed brakes, she hasn't been driven other than loading onto the trailer when we moved. Damn near wrecked. Washed the windshield at the gas station so I can... -

Pull that piston and measure depth of damage. Perhaps a re-bore or sleeve will be required -

Keep Frying HEI Coils PLEASE HELP!
Perhaps using an analog meter, but a typical dvom when measure resistance will indicate : Ol=open circuit, .2,1,etc=continuity in ohms, or 0=short circuit. At which point you can determine if short to power or ground or internal fault Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

Keep Frying HEI Coils PLEASE HELP!
Slow down, do you realize Zero ohm indicate short? If you are measuring continuity there will be some measure of resistance. I don't like throwing parts at a concern, but make sure you understand what you are reading during diagnosis. Good luck- Poppy 87

Dome lamp ground short circuit questions.
With vehicle in the condition, unplug 1 source at a time. If lights go out, there is the branch with the fault- Poppy 87

Dome lamp ground short circuit questions.
2 things I would verify: correct bulbs are installed and terminal tension in the fuse block. If okay, I would perform parasitic draw test and isolate each branch of the circuit(s) to determine exactly where the short is. Good luck- Poppy 87

Not to nit pick too much, but I definitely recommend that you install the lower fan shroud to ensure proper cooling Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

Advice on 2/4 lowering my c10 1974
In my research a static drop using front spindles and hangers for the rear leaf springs does not affect load capability. I would inspect vehicle to make sure nothing is broke with regards to the frame or suspension as 2 inch difference side to side seems extreme. I would probably replace both...- Poppy 87

Wheel bearing replacement.
Jack front tire off ground, check for lateral play by grasping the tire at the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position. Any play would indicate either worn or loose bearings Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

Wheel bearing replacement.
Yes they may show signs of pitting or more commonly heat damage. I always replace the bearings completely unless as stated earlier broke down on side of the road- Poppy 87
