1997 Chevy K1500 Silverado new to the forum
Hey everyone; I'm a college student and life long car enthusiast. My current daily driver and project is a 1997 Chevy K1500 Silverado with the Z71 offroad package. It has just over 140,000 miles.
Work done to truck;
Rebuilt Vortec 350 (seals, crank, etc.)
Spectre Intake
Flowmaster dual exhaust
All fluids flushed and replenished
New starter and alternator and battery.
I've owned this truck just over a year. It has been mostly dependable though an older truck always needs updates and replacements.
The only problems with this truck currently is that its throwing a code for an o2 sensor and that it leaks oil (full synthetic) out of the rear main (I think). Despite being rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago it still is spitting oil to the point I'm dumping a quart into it about every 1-2 weeks. HELP??? And no, I don't want to rip the motor back out to replace the rear main.
