    Can someone school me on carpet

    @SirRobyn0 I had to trim a little to the left & right sides as they do make them a bit bigger so you have some wiggle room to do what is needed. They suggested it sit for a day to help settle so I did that, because they send it to you rolled up....well, I think it was rolled up. Heck, now I...

    Can someone school me on carpet

    I too had never done carpeting in an interior until I did my crew cab truck. For this I put in my own insulation (with 3M spray adhesive), and then I layed the carpet down over that with NO spray (although a couple spots I may spray now such as right near where the door closes & meets that...

    LMC truck has the wrong window regulator rollers....

    I am about ready to say "eff-it" and reverse engineer them and have a few machine shops bid the job and see how much they come back at.

    No, same junk as LMC has.

    LMC truck has the wrong window regulator rollers....

    I believe it is 4 fasteners that come out near the crank handle area, that will release the entire regulator. Also, please keep me posted if those are correct. I am about ready to lose my crap on mine......and getting the same damned answer & pictures from other places of the wrong parts. So I...

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    So how did you stretch the tang? Are you talking about the cam position sensor that is held into the distributor by 2 little screws? Even with that unplugged (or bad sensor) the engine will still run, but will throw a code and check engine light. Had this happen on my 7.4 Vortec in another...

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    Thanks @AuroraGirl I have seen that bulletin. I personally do not see how clean screens in a distributor can cause any of those issues as mine have never been clogged up each time I check them. I have also used the good caps with the brass in them and end up with the same problem.

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    So an update on this guys. Since the last time I drove it when it was having issues I have not touched it. I wanted to work on it today so I was going to move it. It fired up and ran just fine.....hmmmm.... So today I took off the cap to check it out, no arcing, not dirty, no cracks, and...

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    Speaking of venting, the distributor does have that little screen in the bottom of it, and every time I look at that the screen is clean and no buildup on it. Wonder if moisture is coming up through that??

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    I did a little reading, and saw a statement that due to the plastic distributor from GM, they eventually get old and just start wearing out. Maybe this is what happened with mine, and with the used junkyard one I put in it?? Either way, what a pain this has been now for years and I am just sick...

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    I have used both of those brands. Eventually the same problem would occur with moisture, then buildup on the electrodes of the cap, then misfires/stuttering.....same old story.

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    Wow, that is a very nice looking, and looks to be a very well built distributor, I like that it is not all plastic! This one may be worth the investment.

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    I have a used coil on there now. Changed that a few weeks back after no spark at all. Spark color, I did not check that. There is not any hoses running near the distributor right now, nor over the top of it.

    99 GMC Sierra Classic (old body style)---What distributor do you suggest?

    Gent's, I certainly HOPE this is the right spot to post something like this! Chances are many of you have a truck like this, or have had the same damned issues I have with this era 5.7 Vortec!! My problem for many years now: Cap & rotor get moisture, causes horrible misfire problem (stuttering...

    Thanks @Big Chip I checked it out! Also, @waterpirate & @Grit dog FYI below; Ok, so I called these guys up to find out if they could get me a picture of the part. Description seems fine, but I want to know if it is exact! Anyhow, the lady I talked to said to check back on their site in a...

    They also do not have any rollers. Not sure what to do, worked on one of the rollers to free it up yesterday, but still not good enough to work in the channel...

    Holley 600 WTF moment---curious to know whats wrong

    Ok, I misread your post a bit there! Wondering why you were speaking of doing the TBI and the investment into it, and then talking about the Holley carb! To me, a carb is much easier (yeah right...look at the title of this thread!!! HA!) than a TBI, especially when you have to do some mods to...

    Holley 600 WTF moment---curious to know whats wrong

    @eric 87 the computer stuff is beyond me, but TBI would be a good way to go, especially if you get the tank wiring issue figured out! This link below with the schematics I have used SOOOO much for this truck it is not even funny, including helping me to find the fuel tank selector wire which had...

    LMC truck has the wrong window regulator rollers....

    This has been fun....I have my drivers door apart on my truck because of frozen up/non-working rollers. So I ordered 12 of them from LMC. I go to put on the new ones, and I can see these are not correct and I want to see if I can make them work anyhow, so I used my rivet buck & punch I have...
