    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    Ok Ill start by checking terminals and double checking injectors and regulator. Then ill do the o rings at the fuel filter.

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    But if the battery terminals were not making good contact, wouldnt that mean a long crank every time?

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    One gentleman on the last thread suggested starting it with the injectors disabled, and if it starts then it means fuel is leaking into the cylinders, probably via injectors. I will definitely try this, do I just unplug the fuel pump and try starting it?

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    Fuel pump is original. Do you mean a leak at one of the o rings connecting to the fuel pump? And could it also be the o rings at the fuel filter since I haven’t changed those? Injectors and regulator are new so I would expect them not to leak but I will still take a look.

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    When return hose is clamped, it does drop, but very slowly. Also, the psi doesn't instantly drop after I release the clamp on the return hose. However, with the inlet or both hoses clamped, it drops faster. And when I let go of the clamp(s), the psi instantly drops about 12 psi. During this...

    top tier gas station, and I refill at the same one every time. I still had this problem even when I consistently drove it.

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    I drive it every month or so, and the issue is always there. I guess it’s possible there could be an external leak at an o ring or something that isn’t big enough to leave fuel on the ground. I have actually noticed a fuel smell sometimes come to think of it.

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    I’ve tried priming the pump with the injectors pulled out and they didn’t seem to be leaking but I could try again at some point. How would I test the CTS?

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank (fresh thread)

    Hey all, I started a thread almost a year ago about this issue that Ive been inactive on because of college, but now that im gonna have time to work on the ol girl again, I figured Id start a new thread with a quick recap of what we found out in the old thread. Anyways, its a 96 5.7 vortec. New...

    How much paint?

    I just ordered High Teck GM Victory Red and clear coat, they are both urethane. Just for fun i might test on a junk panel if rustoleum primer works with the basecoat, but if not, I'll just get primer from High Teck.

    How much paint?

    Ive found that it sands fine, and even if its not totally perfect it doesnt really bother me. But is it compatibe or not compatibe with certain kinds of basecoats?

    How much paint?

    I should mention that Ive already started priming parts of the truck with rustoleum filler/sandable primer rattle can, do I have to worry about certain types of basecoats not being compatible with this primer?

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    I’m lifting the front 6”, so I’d want about 4” in the back to get it level. And I’ll probably do rough country shocks in the back

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    Ok thanks, I’ll see if the guy can measure the blocks for me. I should also mention that these blocks are 3” and I want 4”, so could I get than extra inch from add a leaf? And how hard/expensive would that be? He’s selling the block kit for 20$ and it’s local which is why it’s a big consideration.

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    Are 88-98, 99-06, and 07-13 leafs/blocks interchangeable? Because I’d be putting 07-13 blocks with 88-98 leafs

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    I found someone local who is selling 07-13 Silverado lift blocks. Do these fit OBS trucks?

    SLO county. It might be a little far from Reno. Would you be willing to ship? I can pay for shipping

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    I’m just lifting it for looks, visibility, and easy access to the underside. I’m not gonna do serious enough off-roading to worry about the blocks slipping out, so I think I’ll just go with those. Is the block sizing equivalent between c and k 1500? Like will a 4” k1500 block lift a c1500 by 4”?

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    I guess I’d consider doing it with leafs if that comes out cheaper. What would be the least expensive way to do it? Also I’ve heard the shackle flip is a pain in the a$$ so I’d probably rule that out

    Sourcing 2wd rear lift blocks

    Hey guys, I’m looking to lift my c1500 4” in the rear, but I can’t seem to find any blocks of that size specifically for c1500s. Would universal 4” block kits work? Or could I use blocks for a k1500?

    How much paint?

    Does anyone know how good Duplicolor Paint Shop is? (not the perfect match rattle cans lol) I see it for sale on JBtools.com. I would buy both base and clear from them. It seems pretty highly rated on Amazon, but wondering if anyone here has used it.

    How much paint?

    I decided im gonna paint my truck with rustoleum safety red (close enough to victory red for me lol), still deciding on clear though. Does anyone have experience with Sherwin Williams Finish 1 urethane? Or Speedokote Acrylic Urethane? From my research I think urethanes and acrylic urethanes are...

    Worst OBS mods

    I like squarebodies a lot, they're my second favorite body style. But when OBS owners call their trucks squarebodies to sound cooler its cringe
