    Bulb Size Under Driver's Dash (1990 C1500)

    I want to do a LED conversion for the interior lights in my 1990 Silverado. There is a bulb under the driver's dash that comes in when you open the door along with the dome light. Can someone tell me the size of the bulb that's under the dash? I've done some web searches and on here and can't...

    Rough Idle

    Yep, the service engine light was on. My mechanic pulled a code today that came up as "Electronic Timing". Are you familiar with that? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Rough Idle

    A few days ago I pull up to the gas pump and my truck stalls out. Never did that before and I didn't think too much of it. Filled up on regular unleaded fuel at Sam's. I put in 10 gallons to top it off. The truck sputtered once or twice on my way to my next stop. I'm thinking that maybe the gas...

    Good headlight options?

    What type/brand of housing should I get for a HID or LED swap? Please let me know where to get them too. I usually shop on Amazon or eBay. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Good front end look for my truck?

    I love it and have the same grill on my truck.

    02 Sensors for 1990 Silverado

    Thanks for the response. I'm still baffled as to why that service engine light won't go off. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    02 Sensors for 1990 Silverado

    My engine maintenance light is staying on. My mechanic said that it was the 02 sensor. He replaced it, but the light is still on. He also said that the truck only has 1 oxygen sensor. Is it true that my 90 Silverado only has one 02 sensor??

    Coolant Reservoir

    I have a 1990 C1500 Silverado 5.7L V8. I notice that when I fill up the coolant reservoir the coolant disappears after about 250 miles of driving. So I have a few questions. 1. Am I supposed to fill up the reservoir with coolant? 2. Does the coolant not staying in the reservoir indicate that...

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    What do you guys think about Jasper motors? I got another quote from a local dealership and it was $2100 for a brand new engine. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    The local dealership quoted me $2400 for a crate engine. My mechanic is saying that by rebuilding the top of the engine may cause more pressure on the bottom of the engine and cause it to burn oil.

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    Sorry fellas, I'm far from a mechanic. All I'm doing is changing spark plugs and fluids.

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    Thanks Steve. If he quotes me $2000 then I'll just go ahead and get another motor.

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    The motor was pretty well maintained. I actually didn't even get a quote on replacing the head gaskets. Has anyone on here ever got this type of work done? If so, what were the results?

    New Engine for 90 Silverado C1500

    Hello Folks, I have a 1990 C1500 5.7L (350) that has a seeping head gasket. I've been advised by 3 mechanics that if I plan on keeping the truck it would be best to replace the engine. The problem now is selecting which engine to go with. Therefore I would like to get some advice from some...
