    Nv3500 making noise? Detrimental?

    Hey all. I recently did a trans fluid change (Penz. Synchromesh) on my 95 gmc k1500 with an nv3500. Drove it for a week to school and back (565 miles, about 550 of it highway). Now in neutral and the lower gears with clutch engaged (exhaust and road noise drown it out after 2nd or 3rd) it makes...

    95 tbi 350 surge/stumble

    Recently my 95 Sierra started to act up on me. When accelerating, especially in 2nd and 3rd gear (standard shift) it has a surging/ stumbling feel to it. It also has had a loss of power it feels and also reduced fuel economy. This happens cold and hot but more so with the engine colder. What...

    1/2 ton axle shafts

    This may sound stupid but I could not find an answer. 1995 k1500 pu. 3.73. I have a bent axle shaft that has been like that since I bought the truck, but now with heavier tires, it vibrates the truck over 70mph. My question is....will any axle shaft out of a gmt400 6 lug 4x4 1/2 ton pickup/Burb...

    305 tbi to 350 tbi swap

    I have personally done the swap from 305-350 in my 95 k1500. You are correct on injectors. If the throttle body sensors (tps etc.) are different, swap whole tb, but generally just the injectors/pod. The 305 computer/chip will run a 350. BUT...I have found it runs pretty rich especially at idle...

    Vortec fuel gauge sender in tbi pickup?

    My fuel gauge in my 95 Sierra started flipping around wildly today which I believe is the sender. I have a 97 k1500 for parts and wanted to know if I could use the sender out of it with my tbi fuel pump? Thanks!

    Vortec 4.3 to vortec 5.7 help needed

    I have just purchased a 1996 k1500 4.3 auto that needs a motor and tranny. I also bought a 97 k1500 parts truck that was totaled that has a 5.7 and brand new 4l60e. I have the computer, harness, cluster etc but I wanted to know what's all involved in this swap, I'm hoping not a whole lot is...

    Slow cranking when hot

    The timing being off could definitely cause that issue. My 95 Sierra was having the same issue. Mine turned out to be the starter, as it got hot sitting a short time with a hot engine, it would crank so slow, I was nervous about if it would start. Hope this helps

    95 350 tbi intermittant miss and occasional stall

    I have a 95 Sierra k1500 with the tbi 350 in it. The last few weeks it has had an issue where it would have an intermittant miss, then the tach jump to 2000-4500 rpms (no change in engine speed), the shift light would light up, and then it'd be fine. I just replaced cap and button and rotor and...
