    I guess this truck has officially been taken off the chopping block. I bought it 2yrs ago for the 110k mile optimizer with paper work. I never did anything but fire it up and hop pasture to pasture as an extra for of transportation. When my duramax needed a heart the little truck drug the big...

    Rebuilding my tbi 350

    Ok so this thing still had 140psi compression across the board but spun a rod bearing. I am going to swap in vortec heads and a marine cam but what rebuild kit will be best. Anything else I should do to the engine internally? This will be in a 94 c3500 5 speed with 4.56's.

    Working on my brother in laws Denali. It has a 6" lift and 35" mud tires. Driving in the mountains on a ski trip he heard a loud pop and the engine free revs in drive and reverse. So we pulled the trans and tcase assuming a broken input shaft. Now we cant get the torque converter to pull off...

    94 TBI 350 with a rod knock Refresh time

    Ok so my little flatbed step child has decided to try the life of a comedian by way of knock knock jokes. It has a pretty good case of a rod knock on the passenger side.

    94 C3500 350 converted to a 96 C3500 6.5

    Well I'm about fed up with this 350, it's not terrible running but in the fact that I add a qt of coolant and a qt of oil every 5 k says it needs work, heads at the very least. I have a buddy with a 96 C2500 single cab fin F with 60k on a GM crate engine from 2010. My thoughts are put the cab...

    94 C3500 TBI 350 cutting out

    The Ol Basket Case strikes again. I just put a new fuel pump in at 112k, currently 120. Now my truck sputters until it dies if I go over 1/2-3/4 throttle. Floored for more than 30 seconds will bring me to a stop. Changed all filters and oil as well as spray out the throttle body since it was...

    94 C3500 Dually brakes/wheel bearing time

    So at 120k I have a wheel bearing taking a slow death (been squeaking since 110k but just now getting loose). Do these come as a pair of hubs or do I need to order both? Are the bearings serviceable? @GM Guy

    94 C3500 350 NV4500 squealing

    When I press the pedal the pedal bounces and the clutch squeals until I lift my foot. Do I need a new clutch? Or is it just the throw out bearing? Clutch doesn't slip at the moment.

    97 C3500HD 454 4l80 to 5.9L 6 Speed allison conversion

    Ok, the TCM quit on my '13 LML, the radiator cracked, it has a fuel leak, the AC quit, and ..... So once I find a tcm, and get it straightened out I'm parting ways and want a crew cab 6.5 and a c3500HD for hauling duties. I don't fully buy into the the 5.9 Cummins being the only way to tow BUT...

    85 C30 3+3 questions

    So I found a pretty clean 85 C30 3+3 dually with 6.2 and th400. The flywheel has missing teeth and can't be started but the engine has decent compression. Do you have to pull the the trans out to replace the flywheel? If so this sounds like the perfect time to slide my 4L80 in.
