Vintage commercial trucks, semis, and tractor-trailers are an incredible subset of the automotive hobby. Just like any classic vehicle, these heavy-haulers, 18-wheelers, and big rigs ooze style with a healthy dose of “get-it-done” utilitarianism. OnAllCylinders had boots on the ground at the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) annual convention this past weekend in Lexington, KY. From Peterbilts to Kenworths,

Mechanically similar, General Motors’ LS and LS-based Vortec engines wound up on almost every branch of the GM family tree: Chevy, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac, Buick—heck, even Saab, Hummer, and Isuzu got some LS love. Since LS and Vortec engines are so common, they’ve become the go-to performance and swap engines of the modern era. These motors are

Bad grounds can cause intermittent performance, weak/dim lights, poor starting, bad sensor feedback, weak ignition, and a host of other electrical gremlins.
