    Bad injector or bad motor?

    My lb7 has had two injectors with high balance rates for awhile. Last night i was driving it like normal and it started ticking and missing, which is now a knock. Drive it 12 miles home like that and killed it. Went to start it this morning and it made about two revolutions then locked up. Oil...

    No headlights/bright light symbol on, on dash

    I have a 02 crew cab duramax that I'm completely stumped on. I drove it home one night and the headlights worked great. Went out the next morning and had no headlights. The bright light symbol is illuminated on the gauge cluster and hitting the dimmer switch makes no difference. I replaced the...

    Allison throwing 30 codes and pulling odd

    I've got an 02 duramax and I'm having a strange problem with it. You clear the codes and it pulls in reverse just fine, but put it in drive and you cant go but 5 feet without it quit pulling and turning on the SEL light. First codes I got off it pointed at the NSBU switch. Dropped $200 on it...

    Dreaded injector knock

    Ever since I got my truck going after buying it in limp mode.. I've noticed that its nothing compared to the lb7 my dad had. Slowly it gained a injector knock... I'm only 16 so I can't afford a tool to read my balance rates to figure out which injector is bad (I can afford one MAYBE two...

    03 duramax gauge cluster not working totally right

    My 03 has had issues with the cluster since I bought it. It will turn on every single morning when you first start the truck for the day. If you don't kill it, they stay on and always work correctly. If you kill the truck 90% of the time they won't turn on the rest of the day. Sometimes if you...

    LB7 eating serpentine belts

    When I got my truck the front rib was completely gone off the entire belt so I bought a new one and put it on... 1500 miles later I noticed the front rip is starting to fray and get eaten again. Got to looking today and the front rib jumps up onto the front of the harmonic balancer. Tried...

    No boost

    Just bought my first duramax and I couldn't be more excited. Its having turbo issues though. It won't go past 2k rpms. It doesn't sound right cause its not making any boost obviously but you can't hear any whistle and I'm not sure whats wrong. Whats some possibilities that are wrong with the...

    Vortec 350 no power/hesitation

    Here recently my 98 has been acting up once again. It started out as just a little miss at full throttle and now it’s turned into no power at all. It will run fine at idle and idle up perfect in neutral. If you put it in gear and try to drive it, it instantly loses all power and hogs down...

    Squarebody roof cap removal

    My 83 had a tree fall on the cap back before I bought it. All it did was bust the windshield and fold the roof in. It fell diagonal across the cab from the passenger front corner to the driver side rear corner. I took a bottle jack and pushed the roof back up and the windshield actually fit back...

    94 dash swap into 98

    I know I might sound crazy but how hard would it be to put the old dash in a new dash truck? I have a vortec 350 so will it even work? I need a new dash and I prefer the old dash over the new.

    1998 Fuel Gauge sorta working but not

    My 98 has never had a working fuel gauge ever since I got it and changed the fuel pump. At the time I had bought a fuel pump off Facebook marketplace that was actually for a blazer but was brand new and it was all I could afford. It worked just fine although it was a couple inches shorter than...

    700r4 not staying in OD

    My 83 has shifted very weird ever since I had to swap the motor. It was shifting very very early into high gears and lugging the motor. It worked just fine before the engine swap. The other night I drove it about 300 miles round trip and noticed on the way there overdrive was becoming harder and...

    New hydroboost still no brakes c10

    After I got done changing the motor in my 83 the hydrobooster finally crapped out completely. It always poured PS fluid but still worked. It got to the point where it just went all the way to the floor and the brakes would barely work. I put a new one on it but the pedal still goes to the floor...

    Drive shaft travel

    I have a odd question but I converted my 98 from auto to manual last week and obviously had to have the driveshaft redone. When I installed it back in the truck it can’t move any. It’s a 2 piece by the way. The carrier is adjusted as far backwards (closest to the axle) as it can go. Will this...

    350 to 6.5 harness

    I’m swapping my 98 from a 350 to a 6.5. I have a 96 donor truck and my only question about it is do I need to swap the interior harness? Will the gauge cluster work with the existing harness? I know the engine harness will have to be changed but will it plug into the firewall with any problems?

    88 c30 auto to manual

    Im converting my 88 c30 to a manual and I've got everything done besides putting the tranny in. I have a 77 sm465 and all of the other stuff is off of a 83. Is there a difference between a 70s model sm465 and a 80s model sm465? Want to make sure theres not gonna be a problem before I fight...

    83 Speedometer

    Not sure if I have this in the right category but my 83 c10 is off my about 10-15 mph. Everything on it is stock, tranny, tires, rear end. I think its the gear in the tranny but what the the other little thing that plugs into the back of the speedometer do? I found it listed as speed sensor...

    Injectors causing compression loss?

    Im 99% sure my 83 blew the head gaskets but the fact that I can unscrew all 8 injectors without my hand makes me wonder

    94 6.5 rod knocking but not?

    My dad has a 94 6.5 in a 2500 and its been run for about 2000 miles now and ever since we swapped the motor, its sounded like it rod knocked. Has good oil pressure, lots of power, no signs of anythings wrong, and the noise doesn't get worse. We took the passenger side head off and found out a...
