Q: How to convert 60-66 chevy trucks to disc brakes?
There is an article on sale on ebay that describes how to convert the front drum brakes of 60-66 chevy pickups to newer disk brakes. They claim to use all hardware from other model trucks so no need to buy any brand new parts...just a junkyard visit. Does anyone know how and what parts are needed to do this?

A: i had a 67 chevy longbed that was very early produced and put disk brakes on it, go to the junkyard and get 73 to 79 disk brake front end, just swap the front end parts and use the 72 master cyl and lines. they worked for mine. you can go even further and swap the front crossmember but there is a few holes you have to redrill to do that. pretty easy swap. what helped me figure that out was looking at a company's catalogue called brothers chevy parts, dont remember the website but they looked exactly like my 73 chev truck frontend, hope that helps

Q: can i use the throttle body from my 89 chevy trucks original moto when swapping out the motor with a GMC?
I have pulled my v-6 motor out of a 1989 chevy truck and want to replace it w/ a GMC JIMMY v-6 motor. But the GMC is a tuned-port fuel injection. Would it be possible to just use the throttle body/ fuel injection system from the original motor in place of the tuned-port?

A: depending on the year of the new motor...

If it has true Vortec heads, your TBI intake wont bolt up to the heads.

Q: Why do all Chevy trucks have 1 parking light burned out?
Why do Chevy trucks all have 1 parking light burned out? I've been seeing this for the last 10 years. Why don't they fix it? Frank

A: Kind of rural where you live isn't it? Only one Chevy pickup in the county?

Q: New chevy trucks how do they switch from a v8 to a v6?
I can't remember what it's called or what chevy truck that has it, but they have made it so the truck starts out as a v8 to get up to power then turns off 2 cylinders to make it a v6 to cruise around. Can anyone tell me what it is to look it up or explain to me how it does it because it just really confuses me and I just like knowing how stuff works.

A: Booge 4 right on the money. It's so smooth you don't notice the switch and the fuel mileage is much improved I got 22.9 highway.

Q: How are the headlights removed from 2007 Chevy trucks?
The 07 Chevys and GMC trucks have a redesigned grill and headlight system and I'd like to know how many bolts, the locations, and the fastest way to remove them. I need to remove them to install a Western snowplow.
The 2007 is not a pin style- it has bolts hidden behind the grill and fender to remove. If you don't have experience with 2007 don't answer.

A: you need to find the screws or pins that hold them in place, like most cars

Q: Does anybody who knows about chevy trucks can help me resolve my problem with my truck?
I have a 1994 chevy silverado 5.7L V8 that is having problems because it doesnt start, i already change the sparks and wires, new battery, new fuel pump,new distributor cap and rotor and just won't start!! any ideas of what the problem might is?

A: You need to find out if it's fuel or spark related, does it have spark at the plug? is there fuel pressure? is the ECM receiving a signal from the crank sensor?
Just because you replaced the fuel pump doesn't mean the pump is working, you can have a open fuse, open relay, bad ground, open wire to the pump.
you need to determine if it's spark or a fuel problem, and post results,
that way our help will be geared towards the problem.

I can tell you to replace more parts, but I think you threw enough parts at it.

Q: Where can I find free online repair manuals for chevy trucks?

Q: how can some stock chevy trucks out run corvets?
id be looking on youtube and myspace and there will be stock chevy truck zooming away with vets like no problem. some winning and less some loosing.

A: It isn't a stock truck, it is a stock LOOKING truck.

The truck could be modded to easily beat a Vette, but still look like your normal everyday plywood hauler. I've seen a couple 1/2-ton SB 2wd trucks with LT1s and they can really run from stop light to stop light.

Q: where can I find free wiring diagrams for 88' chevy trucks?
I just bought an 88' chevy K2500 and the previous owner got pretty creative with the wiring. I just spent half a day looking for a connection that came apart. I found it but would like to start replacing all the wiring. Just need a reference to follow so I do it right. Thanks.

A: Try the library. Automotive section. For 88 chev trucks. Scan thru the books. Most should have a wiring diagram that you can follow. You either can borrow the book out or photocopy the pages you need.

Q: Why are rear shocks on most Chevy trucks at different angles?
Look at any 95-99 Tahoe, Silverado etc. and most likely the rear shocks are angled differently. The passenger side shock is attatched at the top forward of the differential and the drivers side shock is attatched at the top rear from the dif. Im curious if I did like Dodge and manuf. some brackets to angle them in line with the dif and out if Id get better ride quality????

A: Yeah that's the design of it to keep the rear axle centered for ride quality. The rear sway bar is opposite of the shocks so it balances out. It compensates for more torque on the passenger side rear wheel due to the design of the differential

Q: How many Chevy trucks and cars are sold annually in the US?
I just watched a Chevrolet ad on televison. It stated that the company sold a Chevrolet car in the US every 12 seconds and I'm a little skeptical. Thanks in advance.

A: It is hard to get the information in one place. General Motors (which includes Chevrolet, of course), has different definitions of trucks (mini-vans, large trucks, small trucks, etc.) and so many versions of their cars that you would have to get the figures and total them all together. Half the time they just list General Motors, without separating Chevrolet sales out of the whole sum.
