I know this is off topic for the site, but I like the knowledge base here. I am about to buy a 1986 c30 dump. It has a 350 with a 4 speed. Overall its in great condition. I am having trouble finding specs on it, particularly towing capacity. Does anyone here have experience with these trucks? I...

The problem I'm having ; I noticed the other day that I was losing power, and smoking a lot as I pulled into the driveway. I have replaced the lift pump with an electric fuel pump. I converted to a spin on filter and replaced all rubber fuel lines up to the injector pump. The truck starts OK...

My '08 has developed a problem. It idles like normal, but there is a lack of power and a lot of black smoke at high RPM. When I got home I put it in neutral and revved it up. It is smoking black then blue and running very rough. What would cause that? I replaced the fuel filter in the fall and...

I need a bit of guidance here, as electrical issues are, well you know. Anyway, I have been searching all day and have learned a lot. So, a bit of background, I replaced my glow plugs with ac60g's on Saturday. To this point I had no real issues, but when its cold it was hard to start and I...

Has anyone changed a heater core on a 08? Mine failed in a big way and filled my cab with steam, and we are expecting 6 inches of snow tomorrow that I will need to drive to work in. Is it something I can do in a couple hours after work tonight? I already bought a new one at advance auto for $26...

I will start by saying I am impressed by this truck, stock. My 08 is my 6th old chevy truck, all the others were 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks. They are all great but this thing is tough! My girlfriend and I took it out for a day of exploring at a local coal mining site. We have been there several times...

My door was sagging and not latching all the way. I replaced the hinge pins and bushings, and that helped but didn't solve it completely. I got a new striker bolt with the plastic bushing, and now it works great, and the body line even matches now. I almost lost the nut on the inside, i was able...

My front tires are worn more on the outside edges. The truck steers fine and is smooth driving. The only issue I have is when I hit the brakes, it shakes like crazy. I ordered brake rotors for the front so hopefullly that solves that problem. But what could cause the tires to wear like that?

I found a new place to put the coolant temp sending unit. Well new to me anyway. I searched this site and found people put them at the back of the pass side head, but that seemed like a lot of work to get to that cover plate and go buy a new threaded one. So I put it on the back of the drivers...

I tried to pull my Range rover, which was frozen to the ground sitting on the axles and couldn't do it. The odd thing to me was there were 4 holes in the gravel where my tires spun. Is that normal for the M1008? All 4 were spinning at the same time

After reading some of the horror stories about trucks from GL, I was a bit nervous. I won my auction in early Feb, sight unseen, and the shipper delivered it on on 3/13. EUC took 15 days (first one)! All the pics on GL looked good including a new drivers side door. Upon delivery I could see...
