    Parking Brake Stuck or?

    Unfortunatly the common way to solve a rusted parking brake cable is to cut it off at the drum. Cut it off with a hacksaw or cutoff wheel, something that wont pinch it and keep it from releasing. Then spray penetrating oil inside the cut brake side cable if it doesn't immediately release.

    94 GMC shut off without warning while Accelerating

    Sounds like an ICM fried. Common problem for replacements to not last long, add lots of silicone goop to the bottom when putting a new one in, it is there for heat transfer. I also keep a spare in my glove box, just in case.

    Rough at high speeds

    Your computer could still have the Long Term Fuel Trim stored. Unhook the battery, leave it over night and try again.

    Full-Page ads taking over forum???

    Hey Admins and feedback from others... I just replied to a thread and I had a full page ad pop up on my laptop screen 3 times while writing my short reply. Is this a new thing? Can we get rid of it? I am already annoyed by the minimal ads that pop up as it is but full-page ones that block...

    Gas Mileage

    I'm surprised nobody has brought up 'Indexing' normal plugs yet in here. It used to be common practice where plugs even came with shims to get them indexed correctly. Aim the open side of the 'U' part of the ground strap toward the intake valve. I can tell you that it does help cold...

    1997 c2500 rear end

    First, yes, go with the 4.10 axle! Second, you have a 1997 so you can get a trans temp gauge for the price of an OBD2 dongle, free program download on your cell phone/tablet, and $10 upgrade to that program. No wiring or plumbing needed. I have an OBD Link+ dongle and dash command program...
