I recently picked up a set of 2015 style K2XX mirrors for my 98 Dually. The fine folks at eBay (aka china) have made aftermarket replacements for GMT400, GMT800 and GMT900 trucks. My truck's primary purpose is to haul an 11.5' slide in camper and a 14' enclosed trailer, so towing mirrors are a...

I have sets of Factory GM Cablight LED inserts for sale. These are part number #25791139 from 07-09 Topkick/Kodiak trucks with RPO UGD. They utilize the same light assembly as the GMT400 trucks, and thus are a direct replacement for the stock 194 bulb. They are 3-diode, fully potted...

Well, for those of you who haven't heard elsewhere, I recently picked up another project: "Black Fox" Anyway, here is the new towpig. It's a 1998 Silverado K3500, 454 NV4500 5-speed I bought with 135,000 miles. Dealership Pictures..... So, The story...

Since I have no build thread for this truck, I decided it's about time. Now that I'm regularly driving it and have some serious ideas I've gotten for it. Let's start off with it's history. In 2002 my grandparents were looking for a replacement vehicle for the 1988 Sierra they had given me...

I don't post much about my 02 Sierra, but I just picked up a set of OEM Silverado SS wheels for it. Also put a set of GMC emblems on the centers to round things out. Next step is to lower it a bit more. Already pulled the factory block and de-cranked it some.

Time for another build thread! I have enjoyed the other build threads I have kept: the 78 Nomad trailer resto, and the 99 6.5L Towpig. Since the towpig is history, I'm concentrating on the 88 once again. Seeing as I have never kept a running build thread, I have decided it is time to actually...

Problem: Welp, you read it right. My headache of a truck has once again decided to not cooperate. Tabs are due this month, and since moving back to western Wa. it requires an emissions test. Drove it down this morning and it failed the opacity. Limit is 40%, truck produced 77%...

Ok, so I've read a few threads, articles and just recently the EPC. I'm confused what setups were available and what setup my 99 has (as it appears to be a mid year thing). Mostly I was reading that 2000 trucks all have the same waterpump high flow, balanced waterpump. According to the EPC...

Problem: Truck is using about 1gallon of coolant in roughly 1,000 miles. Now my oil has some thick sludge chunks in it. *pictures at end* Demographics: - Year: 1999 - Truck model and class: K2500, 8,600 GVWR - Automatic or Standard: NV-4500 - Mileage: ~151,1## miles - Replaced parts and mods...

Well, a local town is liquidating some vehicles and one of them happens to be this. 1983 M1008 with 26,500 miles. It has a crappy flat white paintjob that isn't original. It's missing the Brushgaurd, all the d-rings, pintle, nato plugs and the blackout drive...

Well, for those of you who didn't catch the initial thread of my newest "project", I decided to start a thread to document what I'm doing to the truck. Anyway, here is the towpig. It's a 1999 Silverado K2500, 6.5L 5-speed I bought with 146,000 miles. It was in good shape, just needed a...

I have yet another project. This one is pretty sweet. Sorry for the crap cell picts, it was getting dark. Anyway, as some of you know I've been looking for a 6.5L to tow my trailer with. I've been picky and demanded finding a 5-speed truck. Originally I was looking for a 92-93 with the...

Yes, yes, I found another truck I want. It's another 93 GMC Ex Cab Long box 3/4ton. This one is also a 6.5L 5-speed, 4wd, 14FF rear. It has 4.10s and a G80. It has 110,000 miles, 1 owner. Only real problems I can see cosmetically are the tailgate, driver's seat and some worn paint from a bra...

Remember a few months ago when Devin and I brought this to my house? Well, it's a 1986 Chevy 6.2L CUCV that Devin, I and another friend have been tinkering with. It's been floating around my driveway sometime now. A little back info about the truck. It has 67k on it. It originally was an...

So, a truck has came about that has peaked my interest. I'd be buying this to leave largely stock, and tow the trailer with. It's a 93 GMC Sierra, K2500 w/ 8,600 GVWR, Excab Longbox. It's a 6.5 L65 "F" motor, NV4500, 4x4, with 3.42 gears. The truck is Victory red and black with grey interior...

Finally! After years or people asking, and numerous people installing GMT800 mirrors that didn't correctly fit GMT400 trucks. Well, as some of you know, some ebay sellers started selling mirrors that apparently fit. After much debate, research, etc, I determined that the bases must be correct...

Well, I'm up to another project yet again. Here we have my newest driveway edition: a 1978 Nomad 16' travel trailer. It has a full bath, full kitchen, dinette, couch/bed, and bunk. It has a very nice and open floorplan. I picked this up just outside of town for a whopping $250. It's...

Ever since I have owned my 88, I have despised the engine oil filter. Not only is it small, but it's at a rediculous angle that makes installing and removing it somewhat messy. Anyone who has changed oil in a GMT400 truck will have noticed that it drains directly through the front u-joint. Since...

Ok, So i'm rocking my Raceline Renegade 6 wheels. Anyway, I want to stick a set of 99+ GMC chrome center caps on there. I bought a set on ebay. So, I know to use these caps I will have to use the dual thread lugs nuts, but the problem is my wheels have a recessed area where the...
