Hello, to preface this, I am talking about my father's truck. In about a year he wants to install a supercharger into a Silverado 1500 2017 and he wants to make it a sleeper as well, he doesn't want anything shown at all. This is to start asking and wondering a couple of things. First, what...

Hey guys I’m new here and hoping I can get some solid help from those that have gone before me. I have an 07 Sierra nbs 5.3 and I just had to do a rebuild for the dreaded lifter problem. I went with a full rebuild and head work along with TSP DOD delete kit and stage 2 low lift truck cam; all...

So I just purchased a low mile LY6 6.0 to drop in my 2012 GMC Sierra and was wondering what all I will need to complete the swap. I’m currently running a miled out 5.3 vortec with the dreaded afm/dod and vvt. Will it be a direct swap? Will I need to mess with any vvt? Please help! Thanks guys.

Recently replaced my coolant temp sensor and radiator hose adaptor because it broke off and leaked out all my coolant. Now my truck doesn’t blow hot air and says low coolant even though the coolant is filled up. Any help with a diagnosis? Head gasket? Air in the system?

Hey yall, I'm trying to fix my dads old truck up for him. It's a '00 Silverado with the 5.3 in it. I don't think that it has ran since 2009. As it sits now all i know is that the fuel pump isn't working and i know some of the break calipers were seized up. Im planning on changing the fuel...

Hi! I drive a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 5.3. Yesterday, I cleaned my k&n air filter as I bought the truck with it and it was pretty grimey and nasty. Bought the specific kit to clean with the degreaser and spray oil. Figured while I was at it I’d buy a can of maf sensor cleaner. Cleaned my maf...

2000 Silverado with 5.3L . Transmission seems to operate normally most of the time around town. However, the passing gear doesn`t seem to be quite right. If I`m on the interstate in OD and push down the pedal for it to downshift for a little more power it just continues in OD (almost bogs)...

I helped my neighbor change the oil pressure sensor and screen on his 2010 Silverado 5.3L. This is my first time working on an LS family engine. It was a real pain because the tab to release the plug was facing the intake. I spent a lot of time laying across the top of the engine bay. I...
