    buying a 1500

    My buddy went through a period of asking me what to get and then doing the opposite, lol. 2 lemons later, and he finally bought a Silverado 1500 and has loved it for almost 10 years. Now it's totaled. He's 50 and on disability, and he wants a truck that he can work on and make it last a...

    Gauge needle repositioning

    My OEM coolant temp needle is way off, but the pid reads correctly. Can I pull the needle off the gauge and re-clock, or is it keyed to fit the shaft in only one position? Thanks in advance! Wally

    Hmmwv xfer case carnage

    Not sure if this should be in the general BS forum or here :) I just got home from meeting my buddy on the road. She went bang hard! He told me the trans went. When I got there it was on the rollback and I climbed under. Trans should be ok - xfer case is no bueno! Enjoy the pix!

    Snapped the shock mount!

    1hr from home with no tools. I improvised the lug nut wrench and a Leatherman to get the shock off the upper mount and get home. Obviously I didn’t put the caltracs on yet. Lol I guess I’ll have to grab a new mount and cut/weld. I hope the shock is ok. It seems to have some very minor...

    15767604 LB7 Cooling system lower panel (behind bumper; funnels air into stack)

    How important is this piece? I just saw another LB7 last night and he has this part. Now I know that mine is missing, LOL. Can't get it anywhere of course; save perhaps finding a parts truck and yanking it. Has anyone duplicated or improved upon this part? I'm thinking maybe I can sweet...

    What cooler is this?

    Shot in the dark. Prior owner seems to have changed my lb7 cooler. Seems small and centered in a poor location. Can anyone ID this, so I can decide to keep or shitcan? There’s a leaking fitting that brought this all to my attention. Thanks!

    Upper tilt column bearing

    The outer race is pretty stuck. I’m thinking I can cut and crack it out tomorrow morning, unless someone that has done this has a better idea?

    Seat identification

    The seats in my 2002 are in decent shape. I do want to replace at least the foam bun on the driver side though. Seeing that they are both powered cloth with manual lumbar adjuster, makes me think that they aren’t the original seats to this truck. Can anyone confirm the year(s) of these seats...

    AN fitting for “liquid hose”

    I replaced my A/C liquid hose today, and sheathed most of it inside a 5/8” heater hose. Used a compression fitting to give me the additional length that I needed, but I think there’s a better way. I’d like to cut the hose after each sensor, and tig an AN fitting at each end. Then I can just run...

    Truetrac binding

    Ever since this truck got the Truetrac, it has an issue that i’ve never had on my other Truetrac equipped duramax (nor my friends trucks). Once I've driven on the highway for some time and then drop down to local roads, I get a terrible binding leaving stop signs or traffic lights with a turn...

    Group 31 driver's side Batt

    I'm looking to toss in a top post Group 31 in my LB7's driver side battery area. I plan to rewire too, but I don't have the time to do that until May. I see that they make a top post clamp that has a threaded base for converting most side lug trucks to top post batteries...

    Check that t-case fluid :0

    I spent a couple nights helping my buddy prep his LBZ for a local truck pull event coming up on Saturday. While it was on the lift, I said we should change his transfer case fluid. The truck has over 300k and he bought it CHEAP about a year ago. I got the "well maybe we could top it off but...

    Some help for a local

    I sold my old lb7 heads for peanuts on facenuts to a really nice kid about 1-1/2hrs away. He just sent me this: “…I had the heads resurfaced cleaned , vacuum/pressure tested and new injector cup o rings all done by a local engine shop. I reinstalled everything with new gaskets,studs, injectors...

    Massive pole

    I sold my old tailgate to a guy on Facenuts Marketplace yesterday. I had to comment about the ludicrous rod holder on the front end of his 2500hd gasser. Turns out he bought the truck with it, and he and the wife hate it but he can’t get it off. Lmao. 5 guys tried to remove it together, after...

    Accelerator replacement

    I’ve tried a new spring and tuning, but I think the pedal is just lousy and I want to replace it. I’m not seeing any OEM, just aftermarket. Any recommendation of which one to go with? Thanks!

    MAP sensor scaling Lb7 2002

    I'm having some confusion. My truck is the '02. The MAP reads pressure, and then the BARO adjusts it for ATM, right? So wouldn't the MAP sensor need to output in PSIA and then the Baro sensor adjusts it to PSIG for a Boost reading when I log/scan? I ask because I am looking to swap and...
