    xXxPARAGONxXx’s 1999 Chevrolet K2500 Crew Cab

    Certs alone don't do much in this field. Because of how competitive it is, most employers want someone with a cert and experience. But that's probably the same for most fields. What do you have left to do for your CPA? What made you decide to do accounting science? And what is the difference...

    Medical field. Was a hospital corpsman in the Navy for 6 years. Dabbled in automotive field for a couple years as a technician and went to school for auto tech (and paramedic school), but eventually landed back in the medical field. Got twenty years of medical field experience now, so may as...

    xXxPARAGONxXx’s 1999 Chevrolet K2500 Crew Cab

    Wish I had a Master's. Even a Bachelor's. What is your Master's in? Pretty much need a Master's these days to make a really decent living unless you have a lot of experience under your belt. Or — you work your ass off non stop. Just finishing my second Associate's — this one is in Health...

    xXxPARAGONxXx’s 1999 Chevrolet K2500 Crew Cab

    LOL, I’m back in college for the summer and fall semesters, so the only thing you’ll be hearing from me is...nothing. Lots of studying to do. It’s been so damn humid outside and in the garage, that I’ve not really wanted to spend any time in there. I did organize my tool box to make some room...

    4L80e “should not be overhauled by the home mechanic.” Says Haynes.

    Definitely do not take the transmission to a dealer. Worst advice ever.

    Beware of eBay Seller h_davidson_biker

    There are aftermarket steering column covers being sold on eBay. He probably bought one of those and then marked up the price two-fold.

    Beware of eBay Seller h_davidson_biker

    eBay seller h_davidson_biker is selling unbranded aftermarket steering column covers at exorbitant prices, basically scamming buyers into believing he is selling like new GM parts, as there is no way any aftermarket unbranded steering column covers would be worth as much as he is selling them...

    Input seal doesnt fit on transfer case NP241C

    I would heat the inner bore of the bearing retainer plate with a heat gun. It should enlarge the inner bore enough for you to drive the seal into the bore. Edit: If I recall correctly, there was one seal on my NP241C rebuild that was a bit more stubborn to install than the others, and I think...

    1996 GMC Sierra SL K1500 sunvisor retainer clip

    Good question. I looked on both of mine and only saw two clips per bracket. I don't understand why that would be. I'm wondering if I removed one from each hole, but I don't remember. It seems like there is room for three brackets per hole. I'll have to look around some more to see if I can find...

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    Forgot to tighten the nut on the alternator cable on our Cobalt. You know how alternators are. They have a stud, you place the cable on the stud, and you fasten the cable to the stud with a nut. Well, as you can imagine, over time, the constant arcing from the loose cable actually welded the...

    Steering shaft slop

    There are two joints that create slop in the steering. One is the rag joint; the other is that joint. There is no longer an OEM replacement, so you will need to source an aftermarket shaft like Borgeson. You can read starting here for more about that joint...

    Understood. And I agree. No way for any of us to know who is in the right.

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    A lot of people damage their stock gear box during removal, and when they send it in, they expect to get their full core refund. If you damage something on your gear box, the company has to replace it, including the Pitman arm shaft when you're trying to remove the Pitman arm. They can't keep...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Interesting. Edit: So, I went to GMPartsGiant and plugged in 1998 Chevrolet K1500, 1998 Chevrolet K2500, and 1998 Chevrolet K3500. (I used 1998 since GM produced 1/2-ton Silverados (GMT800) in 1999, right?) The K1500 uses P/N 26100345. The K2500 uses either a P/N 26100345 or a P/N 26100335...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Edit: Nevermind. I see yours is a K1500. Apparently uses a different steering gear box than the K2500.

    ISO door courtesy light pigtail/ wiring

    There's a 99 manual for sure. I know because I scanned my own and posted the links to it on my Google Drive. Edit: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/88-98-service-manuals.43575/page-12#post-1366872
