    5LM60 Knocking Sound

    Jesus! LMC is kind of a gamble from what I've heard. So might-as-well do it the factory way if it needs to come out anyways. Kill 2 birds with one stone ;)

    5LM60 Knocking Sound

    Of course anytime! And yeah that’s probably the better alternative if you’re open to possibly taking out the dash, but if you’re lazy like me a bolt though will do the truck haha. Just make sure to put some RTV around the bolt if you do what I did, don’t want any water seeping through.

    5LM60 Knocking Sound

    Yeah I don’t see how it could be anything else but the front bearing on the input shaft. Just brought it out to lunch and now I don’t hear it, seems sometimes it does it sometimes it doesn’t. I’m just going to ride it till it dies lol. As for the clutch pedal mounting it’s pretty simple...

    5LM60 Knocking Sound

    Hey yall, in this thread I'm talking about my 94 K1500 with a 350 tbi, recently swapped in 5LM60(swapped from 4l60e automatic). Drove the truck today and all went well until I pulled into the driveway and parked it, kept it idling foot NOT on the clutch pedal. I heard a drivetrain knocking...

    Bad running after manual swap

    I also plan on picking up a USB to ALDL cable soon so I can read live data on tunerprort.

    Bad running after manual swap

    Yeah that’s what I’ve been wondering, I guess only time will tell! I plan on putting new headers on it at some point in the near future. Just worried about snapping the rusty bolts lol.

    Bad running after manual swap

    Truck is still doing good today, rpm’s at idle still fluctuate a little bit just because of the computer with the manual swap, but it’s fine for now. When warming up or restarting the passenger bank definitely does have a misfire. Nothing new, but a misfire that is stubborn nonetheless lol...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Update here again. Tach flutter is still completely gone, drove the truck for almost an hour no problem. I guess I’m back a bit to needing to find a compatible PROM for the manual swap though lol… while it’s not doing what it was doing the idle does still smoothly come up and down a bit at...

    Yeah I do wonder what happened to it; it’s so strange.

    Bad running after manual swap

    Good morning! Update time, and this one is a good one! Fired up the truck and let her warm up completely. The issue seems to be totally gone based on 30mins of idling!!! Tach no longer bounces and glitches at all, and it no longer wants to die! Seems like it was a bad out of the box new ICM...

    Bad running after manual swap

    I sure hope so! And the coil wire seems to be making fine connection, it was also happening with multiple wires, so that wasn’t the problem. And no problem!

    Bad running after manual swap

    Update folks! Got alligator clips and tested the main 12v keyed coil wire to ignition switch under the hood. Power was fine, wiggled it all over and brought it near the dizzy/intake area, power didn't drop. So I went in the cab, peeled back some insulation and tested there and wiggled some...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Well I’m really spamming this chat up lol…. But big update here, not a good one. Found a stud to use as a firewall ground, ran the one from the frame and back of cylinder head to it, confirmed it had a good ground with the old volt meter. Started it up, same exact problem. So next I tried...

    @1998_K1500_Sub is there any other place on the firewall to ground to from the frame and cylinder head? The one below the heater hoses on my truck is totally stripped and rusted

    Bad running after manual swap

    And she’s home! First thing it did when I parked at home was have a tach seizure then stall lol. Waiting for her to cool down before I put these grounds in

    Bad running after manual swap

    Going to pick up the truck today! Called them and told em to button it up and Im coming later in the afternoon to get it. Then its go time! Ground straps are in, so is the new coil to ICM connector!

    Bad running after manual swap

    Ill actually just pull the plug Wednesday like mechanic and I agreed on, trend with this mechanic is he sees all these "problems", tells me about them and then proceeds to twiddle his thumbs and not do much about the issues, or much to diagnose them. I'm sure itll be fine one more day there...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Yeah that’s what I think is happening, seems he does great work on mechanical things but the wiring gets the better of him. I think I need to call them when they open tomorrow and tell them to stop and button it up. I’m worried that since he thinks it needs 12 volts and not 5 at the ALDL that...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Upon reading, it seems like 5 volts to the ALDL power wires is normal, because it seems to have a resistor built into the system... Also his scan tool requires external power(from cigarette lighter) but mine is not connected.... Never reconnected it after I put a new dash and interior in it. I...

    Bad running after manual swap

    So I stopped there again, and he’s having the time of his life lol… I decided I’m giving him till Wednesday and he knows it I told him. He’s working on the ALDL right now, he wants to be able to talk to the computer to see possibly if anything is happening. For some reason he’s only getting...

    Bad running after manual swap

    This shop is proving to be very difficult to communicate with. Im just trying to call them to speak to the mechanic and tell them to button it up so I can pick the truck up... First time I call this morning receptionist tells me that the mechanic is out on a tow(understandable to a degree), so...

    Replacing Clutch on 1993 K1500

    There’s definitely room to get the tcase out with the trans installed still. When you remove the tcase you just have to swing it in a certain way so it clears the torsion bar crossmember and rear of the transmission. Kind of need to do a “swooping action”, pretty much raise the rear of the...

    Replacing Clutch on 1993 K1500

    Just swapped my 94 K1500 from auto to manual with no lift, just on jackstands in my driveway. You need a GOOD transmission jack to drop the trans/tcase all at once, not those stupid adapters that fit on a floor jack, not the janky scissor style harbor freight has. That's the one that I do use...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Well I mean inside the cab under the dash it was cobbled with for the remote starter as well. There was about an inch section of exposed wire from where he tapped into it. I tightly reinsulated with electrical tape, made no difference. I also removed the loom and electrical tape from the...

    Bad running after manual swap

    Oh yeah I'm well aware of that, that's what caused the interior fire last summer, thankfully new seats, headliner, carpet and sun visors fixed that up. That's why I was less suspect of these 2 wires last night when I crossed them off the diagram, because the harness I got from the junkyard...
