Last week I spent some time removing the rivets. Drilled the holes to 12mm and put in grade 8.8 M12 bolts. Just a couple of rivets left that hold the stock crossmember in place. I'm getting good at removing them. I spent A LOT more time removing them from my K30. Today I traced my drawing...

A quick Google search only comes up with very old results. If anyone knows how to get in contact with the guy, I'm might give him a try. It is a '98. So, ODB2 unfortunately.

Inline between the PCM and the glow plug controller. I'd prefer that over a manual button. Re-programming the PCM has crossed my mind, maybe if I ever decide to get a tune. Probably not, I'd rather put the money into a DB2 conversion. Shipping the PCM to and back from the US will probably cost...

That's what I have been doing most of the time. Right now I'm getting the truck ready for the yearly inspection. Should be road legal again next week. Hopefully some day soon I will find the time to try the resistors. I can't remember the values, but I have a couple of different ones to play...

I have no idea what is under there. Definitely not a Power Master though. I did upgrade the cables. I made my own using 35mm2 and 75mm2 wire. I know it started better after that upgrade. I can't remember when I changed the glow plugs and when I did the cable modifications. I think I replaced the...

Looks exactly like mine. Truck has plenty of power, even when towing heavy. I don't really worry about it. Only one minor issue I have is starting. I think it should start faster, but I blame that on the AC60G glow plugs. I think the extended glow time modification will fix that. I'm thinking...

I just replaced the o-rings on mine the other day. FEL-PRO ES73229. I ordered it from Rock Auto.

I took them out.

Maybe you're right. I guess I was kinda hoping that this would explain my troubles. I'd rather find another cause for my issues...

Unfortunately shops like that don't really exist over here. Wish I was in the US or even the UK. Shops like that seem to be more common there. Custom exhaust shops, custom leaf spring shops, custom driveshafts, etc... Would make having 2 Chevy project trucks a lot easier. I will have a look at...

I was resealing the oil pan and I took a closer look at this dent in the front crossmember that has been bugging me for a while. It's hard to find reference pictures, but eventually I found 1 picture and also a YouTube video of a lift kit install where I could see the crossmember from...

To be honest, the lift will purely be for aesthetic reasons. I know for towing it would be better to keep it as is.

Any ideas about the following: Adding a lift kit has been on my mind for a while. Unfortunately I had to delay this project. Anyway, I was looking at combining the Rough Country 4" lift kit with a shackle flip from Offroad Design. Now with this new hitch, the shackle flip gets a little more...

I couldn't say if it happened before or after I got the truck. Maybe both. I mainly tow drawbar trailers, so I don't usually have a lot of tongue weight on the hitch, but they are heavy and with such short mounting and being tall I can see how the receiver hitch can be pushed into the frame like...

It is very short indeed. I have not seen a data plate on there. I think these where made for or by the company that imported these trucks back in the. They are very odd. Same with K30's. I've seen multiple around here with a receiver hitch that looked custom made, but I've seen them on more...

I took some pictures of the existing hitch and crossmember. In the first 2 pictures you can see how it is pushing up against the frame. That has been on my mind and with you also mentioning it, I think I will. Plus, any extra weight back there will be useful, especially when towing. One...

I will try to explain. The current one is mounted to be bottom of the frame rails. Where it is mounted to the frame is very short while the whole thing is very tall. Forces from the trailer pushing against it makes the whole thing want to rotate. This is kinking the frame upwards on the front...

Hey guys, My current trailer hitch is kinking the frame on my '98 K1500 so I'm designing one of my own. I'm using my Iveco Daily hitch as a reference. Here's a 3D drawing of the design I have so far: I plan on removing the stock X shaped crossover and replacing it with a custom made one as...

It has been done. Check this out.

Not over here. British is common. I believe it is standard in water and gas piping, but NPT is rare. Off course, I wanted everything NPT.
