What is the stock horsepower for five point seven liter V8 Vortecs from 88-99?

HP for 97 GMC Sierra 5.7L VortecAccording to autos.msn.com, it's 255hp @ 4600 RPM for an 97 (which I own).

http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/spec_engines.aspx?year=1997&make=GMC&model=Sierra%20C/K%203500&trimid=-1#EngineSpecs

True, but Vortec engines were not introduced in GM trucks until 1995. 1988-1994 were standard 5.7 TBI engines at approx. 210hp

Actually the 5.7 didn't come out until 1996. The vortec in 1995 was only the 4.3 for the sierras.

Well I know for a fact that the later 1995 Sierras had a Vortec 5.7 option... I own one.

Astro van belts problems?

1996 mustang cobra how do you change starter where is it located what is estimated time thanks?

The starter is a cylindrical unit alongside the transmission. If I remember correctly there are three bolts holding this thing on, in an incredibly poorly designed assembly. You will need a flexible socket-wrench extension to get the top bolt out, and you can pretty much forget about putting it back in when you're done. I don't think even a dealer reinstalls this bolt; it is long gone on my car.

Bolt tension is stated in the Chilton's manual at 15-19 pounds.

That's all I have for ya.

How do you replace the air conditioner belt on a 2000 gmc sierra?

1. Make sure that when you purchase a new belt, they don't try to sell you the full size serpentine belt.

2. There is a diagram of the belt routing on your truck when you lift the hood. Follow that.

3. Unfortunately, you need to remove the serpentine belt to replace the air conditioning belt.... the belt routing for the serpentine belt is also shown on the diagram.

4. To remove the serpentine belt, get a ratchet set, and crank the "self tensioning" assembly to release tension on the serpentine belt, and remove the belt.

5. There is another "self tensioning" assembly for the air conditioning belt. Crank to place the new AC belt on and release.

6. Re-install the serpentine belt.

This is an easy fix... it took me less than 20 minutes, I'm not a mechanic.

TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLERS

Here's how to connect a trailer brake controller to the 2007 Silverado and Sierra pickups. These instructions do not apply to trucks with option JL1 (Integrated Trailer Brake Controls) available on H.D. trucks for 2007. Also, trucks with option TP2 (H.D. availability) already have the 12v battery trailer feed used as part of that RPO.

This hookup is entirely different from the earlier Silverado Classic and Sierra Classic.

TIP: The owner manual (page 483) refers to 4 wires, but there are 5 wires looped back in the IP harness. The fifth wire is not required with most systems (see table below).

1. Locate the trailer brake control circuits looped and taped to the main harness under the IP (fig. 13).

2. Pull the trailering wire harness down.

3. Match vehicle harness label circuit functions to the trailer brake controller jumper harness functions (fig. 14).

TIP: Match functions. The colors of wires that are to be joined together may not match.

VEHICLE HARNESS FUNCTIONS Wire ColorFunction Dark Blue Switched power from controller to trailer brakes Red with Black Stripe Fused vehicle power to electrical brake controller Light Blue with White Stripe Brake switch input to power electric brake controller White Ground Orange CHMSL (not required with most systems) 4. After completing the under-IP connections to the electric brake controller, open the hood and locate the red wire taped to the harness between the under-hood electrical center

(fig. 15) and the driver side front fender.

5. Break the tape on the red wire and pull the wire toward the front of the vehicle.

6. Remove the cover from the electrical center.

7. Place the terminal on the larger of the two studs (fig. 16) at the front of the electrical center and secure with an M8 nut.

A Location of larger stud

B Existing fuse

TIP: The fuse is already present in the vehicle to power the electric trailer brake controller system.

AUXILIARY 12 VOLT FEED TO TRAILER

This hookup may be used operate electrical devices in the trailer -- for example, a refrigerator or a battery charger.

1. Locate the red wire looped and taped to the chassis harness below the brake master cylinder (fig. 17).

2. Break the tape and route the wire to the front of the vehicle under-hood electrical center.

3. Place the terminal on the smaller of the two studs (fig 18) on the electrical center and secure with an M6 fastener.

A Location of smaller stud

B Install fuse

4. Install a 40 amp fuse to power the circuit.

TIP: Devices powered by this fuse will drain the vehicle battery if left connected with the vehicle not running.

How do you tell what type of differential is in a 99 GMC sierra 1500?

There is supposed to be a stamped metal tag attached to the bolt holding on the rear cover.

If this is missing clues like the number of bolts in the rear cover, the type and size of u-joint, and so on may enable you to trace it back.

OF course you could just ask your local GM dealer to tell you. He should be able to tell from the VIN number.

Tie-Rod End may be going out.

If you get trouble codes P0740 P0753 P0758 P0785 P1860 what is wrong with your GMC Sierra?

They all are problems with the transmission. Torque converter solenoid, 1-2, 2-3 shift solenoids, etc. It's fairly uncommon for all of them to go out at once. I wouldn't know where to begin looking for a problem on that transmission.

What would cause the Turn signals to quit working and all other lights work hazards work also Changed turn signal switch this is for a 1988 GM sierra and Checked all fuses and flasher uit?

Blown fuse or bad flasher unit. Often, cars use different flasher for the turn signals and the flasher, so it is possible for the hazards to work and not the turn signals.
