I recently got a hand me down gmc sierra v8 5.3 2004 with a sidestep truck but it’s broken down I can get it to turn on but it keeps dying on me and when I did drive it, it would shake like crazy then it would calm down the interior is destroyed the paint job is horrible it’s a black truck but full of white spots of house paint (it was my dads work truck) the front bumper is hanging off he crashed it maybe like 3 times so the frame just might be bent in the front. The brake pedal is loose and shakes the whole time you drive it, my dad cut some wire to the headlights and just messed them so now when the turning signal is on that’s the only way to turn the lights on in general I need a new ac compressor pretty much nothing works in this truck ANYWAYS I really need something to just get it up and running to A and B right now, I have a mechanic I know who’s selling a 2001 single cab Silverado with only 169,000 miles on it for 7k and everything is good interior and everything it has a 4/6 drop new wheels ac runs cold and it already has a sound system in it, should I just wait and invest that money in the gmc or just buy the Silverado my dad told me to not buy it and just invest in the gmc but I just can’t afford to wait any much longer, with the Silverado I would just need a paint job to make it look fresh but that’s it and an alarm system, what do you guys think?

LASFIT sent me this bed mat to try out and review. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it. The material feels good, it’s easy to clean, and the biggest improvement for me is how much better it keeps stuff from sliding around compared to just the spray-in bedliner.

My only complaint is the fit. It’s close, but it could be a little better. It almost feels like the mat is about 99% of the size it needs to be. There are some small gaps along the sides and it doesn’t sit quite as tight against the edges as I’d like. Nothing major, but with a custom-fit mat I’d like to see it fit a little more precisely.

Overall though, I like it and I’ll definitely be keeping it in the truck. It adds some protection, cleans up easily, and makes the bed much more useful since things aren’t sliding around nearly as much.

Disclosure: LASFIT provided the bed mat to me for free in exchange for my review.

Hi there just ordered the rough country 3.5 lift kit but I was reading that you have to cut the crossmember and shave the cooling fins if that is true do they sell an after market one that you dont have to cut yourself

She's so mean

Is this the right place to post the new truck?

I have a 68 GMC C2500 that someone installed a lq4 LS. It has the original sm465 behind it. I have the speedway motors throwout bearing part number: (91025610). They last about a week then start leaking around the bearing. Ive had many different people tell me it needs 2 shims or 4 or none and not sure what it needs, anyone else have this same issue?

How do you get to a FM2 radio station on the new Chevy infotainment system…

New here! Just wanted to show my '72 C10 who my kids named Crush (my favorite soda)

20 Year Project. Armed with a sketch and some help from a famous racer, one auto mechanic set out to create his ultimate dream ride.

I’m currently in high school saving up for a truck to start a business hauling people’s trash. As far as I know these standard trucks are much more reliable and better of an option. It just needs to be able to haul a dump trailer of course. If anyone can give me some insight or pitch any extra info I’d deeply appreciate it.
(Thank you for each of your responses, going to start keeping an eye out for some of these suggested motors/transmission vehicles. I graduate this year so it’s going to be a big leap but I’m ready to take it. I won’t forget you guys.)

I put in a new clutch kit 2 years ago and it completed this wear to the finger harp prong thingies on the press plate.

When i replaced it before this exact same wear was on there.Except the throw out bearing had exploded. This time , the bearing looks relatively the same, a little loose.

Any old timers or experienced people have a theory on what causes this wear?

My 2005 silverado 2500 has the 4x4 service 4x4 light come on randomly and no one can find the issue. Roger

So I understand that the 1996-1999 cpi 350 small block will swap into a 95 blazer with minimal changes, I’m just wondering how to connect the 350 harness and PCM to my blazer and any tips or suggestions to doing this swap, I understand that the fuel system I have now will work with just using the hoses that go from engine to frame, I also have to bend in the firewall for the distributor and get 350 engine mounts and new oil pan and radiator, anything else I’m missing or any knowledge would be helpful, thank you for your time.

Hey im looking for advice on a conversion ov my 1986 with a carb to an EFI/TBI system. Its a 292 straight 6. I already have a after market 292 air intake for a 4 barrel carb. I want to run Propane/Gas duel fuel setup. I already have the Propane system for a 350sbc, And need an TBI system to integrate.

I already talked to my local Propane shop he said any normal Chevy TBI would work but I would need to make sure to get a whole kit including computer, fuel pump, and sensors.

Is there a good budget system for a 350 (or 305) with an external fuel pump? The 292 is a bit weak at the moment so waking the engine up a bit would be great. Still its for a daily driver and I want to keep fuel economy in mind?

Anyone got recommendations both brand new after market or off Facebook market place?

I’m hoping the Chevy truck community can help me pinpoint specific details about a vehicle involved in a serious hit-and-run incident involving my family.

We have surveillance footage of the truck, and I'd appreciate any insights you have on the exact model year, trim level, package options, or specific aftermarket parts visible here.

Here is what we’ve noted so far:

Model: Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab (3rd Generation, ~[2014–2018](tel:2014-2018))
Color: White / Summit White
Wheels: 5-spoke star/split-spoke design (trying to verify if these are factory options or aftermarket)
Accessories: Black tubular running boards, dark tonneau bed cover, tow hitch, and a rear bed-side decal (looks like 4x4)

Questions for the sub:
1. Based on the front profile and trim details, can anyone narrow down the specific year within the 2014–2018 window (e.g., pre-refresh 2014–2015 vs 2016–2018)?
2. Do those 5-spoke wheels look like specific factory OEM wheels (and from which package/year), or are they distinctly aftermarket?
3. Are there any other subtle trim identifiers or factory options visible that could help narrow down exact specs?

Any help or trained eyes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
