Yeah quite a lot since I have a heave foot I have blown head gaskets I have thrown rods I even cracked a few blocks if your water pump went out and all your machanic was put a cheap water pump on with no gaskets cause it doesn't take much to blow out silacone if that's all he used a small leak...

I want to change my electronic shifter to a manual shifter for when I switch from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive or 4 high can anyone give me any hints on how to do this and what parts I will have to get

Only one way to find out stick on there and drive for a little while and if you don't like it just change them back out

A puppy tencher from a 5.7 should work and it would probably last a lot longer

If you didn't get any coolant out of the motor or the radiator you might want to check your oil and see if it went in there your oil will be a milky color

Get a high valume oil pump and put in it cause it sounds like the one you have now is going out I sujest a high volume one cause it has better pressure and they last a very long time we had the same problem in my dad's truck so we switch it out to a high volume one cause it gets more oil to the...

You will get better gas mileage out of the 5.7 but they pretty much have the same torque the 6.0 has a little bit more horse power but it will eat you out of gas really quick when your towing or pulling anything I do a lot of towing and pulling with my dad's 5.7 and it does great

My friend it sounds like your torque converter went out in your transmission

It should bolt right up there where no changes in the 98 and the 05

A 5/8 short socket should do to turn the crank just pull your spark plugs out so it will turn easy if you leave them in it's going to be rough on the motor cause you have to bring number 1 piston to top dead center

I agree switch to the 5.3 or 5.7 they have more horse power and torque than 4.3 L does that's what I'm going to do to my 96 Chevy Blazer LS is switch out for the 5.3 vortex engine

I have a 96 Chevy Blazer that has over 298,000 miles on it and it still runs good for a 4.3 L v 6 I just want to convert the electrical shift to a manual shift
