The Spider replacement is a Long weekend project…if everything looks good when it is disassembled. The coolant ports on my lower intake were so badly corroded and pitted, I had to bead blast the intake, and build the surface back up with Metalset aluminum epoxy. These lower intakes are no longer...
I just replaced the Spider with the MPFI from Motorman, and did the new Felpro lower intake gaskets in the spring. It was a nice upgrade. It could definitely be your coil if it is dying when it gets warm though. Your engine would be using more fuel when it is cold, so I would be leaning more...
Pull the radio fuse out and put a multimeter across the sockets. You should have 12vdc. On my 97, the “Orange” wire at the harness that connects to the back of the radio is the 12vdc battery power.
Some of the fender flare studs are rusted beyond all recognition. I purchased a 5mm threaded rod, 5mm push retainer washers, and cut some backing plates out of aluminum. (I have no steel or a welder at work.) I cut the rods to 2cm. I tapped a hole in the tabs and epoxied the studs inside. It’s...
Still going. The front fenders were quite rusted out. I could order new front fenders, have them shipped to Canada, wait 4 weeks, try to put them on….not fit…
We are going to fix the originals.
I was getting tired of the oil stains on my garage floor too. I have heard from guys on the forum that doing the oil pan gasket on the 4x4 is a real PITA! I decided to crawl under there with my rags and my torque wrench, and see what those oil pan bolts were doing. I found that many had backed...
The hinges will be salvageable if the mounting face is ground flat down to bare metal. The truck body section may have to be cut out, sandblasted, and new sections welded in, primed and painted.
I have searched the end of the internet and GM Dealerships, looking for OEM “Yukon GT” door decals. I purchased some reproductions off eBay, that were advertised as being true copies of the originals. When I received them they did not pass the OCD test. Grey instead of Silver, and the font and...
I have embarked on the task of eradicating the rusted panels on my 2 door. I have all the common Canadian GMT400 rusted areas. Lower rear quarter, lower door skins, rocker panels, and wheel arches. I purchased the body repair panels from LMC Truck and Mill Supply.
I started today by removing my...
I went with OBDLINK MX+ bluetooth scanner. I downloaded DashCommand off the App Store, and did the in App GM Extended Parameters for $9.99, which allowed me to read Cam Retard Offset to dial in the distributor.
I had a rough idle, stumbling, and a high pitched squeal which I thought was a vacuum leak. I did the Felpro intake manifold gasket kit and MPFI Spider upgrade. Problem solved.
That mark does not look like the TDC groove on your harmonic balancer. It should be a defined machined groove perpendicular to the balancer wheel. That mark you have it aligned to, looks very suspect. Note the mark on the attached picture. I would pull your belt off and rotate the balancer...
I blindly sprayed penetrating fluid through the lightening hole in the frame in hopes some would hit the exposed threads on my remaining bolt. Like you said I backed the bolt out and every so often would reverse the ratchet and put it back in. I am happy to say it came out, and the bolt was in...
If they were original I would say keep them. Have you ever tried listing things for sale on Facebook Marketplace? I never throw anything away without listing it first. You would be surprised what people want to buy, and you could put the money towards your recent GM parts purchase.
I recently changed my Multifunction Switch (Turnsignal Switch) because of the constant ticking noise. My cruise control had not worked for about 5 years. Cruise Control is now operational again.
