    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.

    Cooling System Upgrade/Replacement

    Let it idle for a while to make sure the t-stat is opening and not fluctuating too much.

    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.

    Best 8 inch wheel trim rings

    I am actually shopping around for new 15" trim rings for my 77 Monte Carlo also. They come in 2", 2.5" and 3" The ones in the pics above look like 2" and only cover the outside wheel weight area. 8" wide wheels can fit 3" rings. I like the wide chrome trim look. These are the ones that I...

    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

    Get this: And download this onto whatever you want to display trans temp, I have it on an i-Pad that is mounted to a holder on my dash so I can always have it active when I'm driving. https://www.palmerperformance.com/products/dashcommand/ Then once you get those two you will put in your...

    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...

    ABS MODULE

    What makes you think the ABS module is bad? That doesn't initially sound like a module problem unless you have done more diagnosis, that sounds more like a master cyl or booster problem. Also, please try to punctuate and use CAPS normally.

    Spring coolant top up

    Lol, fair enough, you do you. Regular oil changes with cheap oil is better than extended oil changes w/o analysis. I just do it on my daily because I push the limits of the oil. Every oil change I find out how far I can push it next time, the car is around 210k miles and I am running 18k mile...

    Spring coolant top up

    He is talking about running a used oil analysis through blackstone labs to see if it has coolant in the oil. Not a bad idea, its cheap insurance to know whats going on inside your engine anyway. I usually run one every oil change on my daily and on the first oil change on new-to-me vehicles.

    Spring coolant top up

    I have have noticed that I need to top off coolant on multiple vehicles every fall when I run specific gravity test to make sure they are all still good to -40 or better. I never thought about it because they are all between 20-90 years old. None of them leak or show signs of burning, I just...

    Rough at high speeds

    Oh yea, I forgot those had pancake pellet cats with no rear o2. EGR and rear o2's are completely separate codes if you had a rear sensor. Definitely fix the EGR, that will cause drivability problems if its malfunctioning. I would also replace the o2, its a wear item that sends laggy signals...

    Thinking GMT400 3500 Dually for Track Day Towing, Thoughts?

    Seller doesnt know much then. It may be Holley's spread bore to fit a factory manifold but its not a Q-jet. Dont get me wrong, its not a bad carb, its a lot easier to tune than a real Q-Jet but take that as your first warning sign that you may be digging into something that has unknown...

    Thinking GMT400 3500 Dually for Track Day Towing, Thoughts?

    More pictures! :-) And a quadrajet isnt a Holley, its a factory carb from GM in the 70s and early 80s. Its a spread bore design with little primaries for part throttle fuel economy then HUGE secondaries for WOT performance. Holley makes a spread-bore carb but its not a real quadrajet...

    Rough at high speeds

    Yes it most definitely does matter, that is the primary sensor for telling the computer how much fuel to give the engine once its warmed up in closed loop. A lot of people upgrade to a heated o2 sensor rather than the factory TBI 1-wire to get it activated sooner. Lots of info out there on how...

    Gas Mileage

    Take the FPR apart and stick a quarter under the spring and it'll bump the fuel pressure a few PSI and supposedly atomize better.
