    91 gmc topkick 7500 366 v8 no start

    It started yesterday, it had trouble starting but I assumed it was a combo of it sitting for a week and it was a cold morning and weak battery, I drove out to town to pick up a trailer, and when I pulled into tractor supply I noticed the water pump was leaking, I never shut it off from when I...

    1990 Chevy 3500 blowing fuses

    Same truck as last post, accidentally called it a gmc maybe it was cause I was messing around with one of the gmc top kicks we have, but anyways it’s a Chevy, same thing though. The other day it decided to cut out on me going down 301. I was able to get it pulled over and it wouldn’t start...

    New mirrors

    So I’m looking at new mirrors for my truck, I’ve been doing more towing lately and recently picked up a truck camper so the old power mirrors won’t cut it. I want to go with the tow mirrors, I’ve seen them called goose neck mirrors too, had them on an old ‘84 f350 dump truck at my old job and...

    2009 5.4 triton knocking noise after reversing

    The noise does continue after you shift doesn’t matter if your in park neutral or drive, actually just happened like 15 minutes ago while sitting at a light. Shutting the truck off seems to be the only way to get it to stop. And I’ll check the flex plate when I get the chance just gotta figure...

    2009 5.4 triton knocking noise after reversing

    So this is the second time it has happened, it’s a work truck so I’m not the only driver, it has only started making this knocking noise in reverse, it’s happened twice. Just wanted some opinions on what it could be before I tear into it or take it somewhere. I don’t know much at all about these...

    1990 gmc 3500 no start small block 350

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to y’all but I did manage to get the truck running, the fuel pump was fine, there was nothing blocking the lines, but what I failed to notice at first was that the rubber fuel line in the pump was all rotted off so I just replaced the line for now and it runs...

    1990 gmc 3500 no start small block 350

    hey guys I could really use some help. I’ve always been a ford person so I for the most part know my way around those trucks. But I’m in no way shape or form a mechanic, I just know a thing or two and like to figure things out. I’m working on a 1990 Chevy 3500 dump truck at the place I work...

    7.3 idi rough start white smoke puffing out between shifts

    Alright so I’m just trying to figure out what my issue is considering the fact I’m a good ways from home. Some info on the truck before I get into the issues are, it’s a 4wd 93 7.3 idi n/a with an e4od trans. Extended cab long bed xlt. So the issue I’m having is that this morning when my father...

    Front Cab Mounts

    If it's what i think it is it shouldn't be to complicated, just a pain in the butt. Just take out the front bolts and jack up the cab enough so you can squeeze a grinder up in there to get the mount off. I've never done the actual mounts themselves on the cab but my father and I did the cab...

    Fuel oil in 7.3 idi

    just be careful, if its heating oil then it should have a red dye or something like that and should run in your truck. I'm fairly certain its almost the same as diesel. I would still suggest adding in diesel with it along with some 2 stroke outboard oil or Lucas. also you can add about 8oz or...

    is this the truck for the job

    those idi's can do a lot, I have never driven one with a turbo but it should do the job, just don't expect to go anywhere fast.
