    Plug and Play motor swap for 1997 K1500 5.0L

    I may be in need of a different motor for my son's 1997 K1500 truck and was wondering which years would be considered plug and play? I know things switched form OBDI to ODBII in the '94-'96 range and the intake/throttle configuration changed somewhere in that time period as well. I am assuming...

    Rear Wheel Bearing Options

    It sounds like I need to replace one or both of the rear axle bearings on my sons 1997 K1500. Planning on doing both while I’m at it. In looking at replacement bearings, Rock Auto lists options for bearings and repair bearings that also come with a repair sleeve. What would determine if I...

    What is this?

    So we were swapping parts off of a 1996 Silverado onto my sons 1997 Cheyenne and I noticed this mounted to the firewall of the 1996 truck. I have never seen anything like it before. Any idea what it is? It looks to have a light bulb in the glass dome and the round portion actually spins.

    TPMS Failure Mode

    Lots of posts here on TPMS sensors, but can’t find one that deals with my issue, I think. Wife’s 2013 Yukon says the front PS tire is at 28 psi. When I put two different analog pressure gauges, it reads 40 psi. The other three read correctly and respond. Would this be a bad battery...

    Handee Clamp - Anyone try these?

    I just discovered a tool that's out there that seems to make sense, but didn't know if anyone has heard of these or tried them. I might order me one just to see. https://www.handeeclamp.com/

    Missing Ground Wire?

    In looking around under the hood of my son’s 1997 Chevy K1500, I noticed what looks like the end of a missing ground wire. I am not seeing anything obvious as to where the other end of it would have connected. Can anyone give me an idea as to where this should be connected? It is on the...

    Radio needs to warm up in 1997 K1500

    So my son’s 1997 K1500 has a little odd glitch with the radio. When you start the truck after it has sat for a while, the sound will cut out and come back multiple times and then stay on for the rest of the trip. Is this a known issue with these that there is an easy fix for or is this a...

    Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

    I thought I would start a “build thread” to document the things that I will be doing with my sons as I try and teach them and learn somethings myself as we work in their vehicles. My oldest, Javier, has a 2004 Grand Marquis that has 215,000 miles. We have had this vehicle for just over 3...

    Bluetooth Phone noise - 2013 Yukon Denali

    We just bought a 2013 Yukon XL Denali back in July and one of the things we liked about it was the ability to connect my wife's phone via blue tooth and not need to use a separate hands free device. When my wife calls me using the blue tooth connection, I hear a squealing sound in the...
