5.7L TBI stalling and low idle help
I am back with some data. When the engine is cold, the O₂ cross count starts low and runs up to approximately 250. It then rolls back over to a low value, say 14 or 16, and runs back up to around 250 again. Commanded idle speed does not appear in the available live data. With A/C not...- DiGiTaL D

5.7L TBI stalling and low idle help
I have a similar problem, though nowhere near as bad. When in gear, idle speed, turning the wheel often causes the engine to die. This is a big problem when maneuvering my trailer around in the driveway or into a campsite. This week, I noticed a similar behavior when the A/C compressor kicks...- DiGiTaL D

'92 C2500 HVAC Controls Gone
Yeah this might be a problem... Since I don't really see the point to this connector even being there, I just deleted it. Spliced the wires together and soldered them up. Don't think this one will be a problem again (this is the one behind the ashtray). I'm probably gonna do the same on the...- DiGiTaL D

'92 C2500 HVAC Controls Gone
Thanks man, you were spot-on. I just pulled the ashtray out, played with the connector, and bingo, got my controls back. Would have had this fixed sooner but I've had the flu (that awesome 10% effective flu shot did not work for me) and have been out of commission the last couple days...- DiGiTaL D

'92 C2500 HVAC Controls Gone
Thanks for the post. I'll check it out tomorrow and advise. I'll probably have to take the glove box out to get some better access. I don't have a factory service manual but I did pick up a Haynes manual today which has a wiring diagram that includes the electronic HVAC controls. I see it...- DiGiTaL D

'92 C2500 HVAC Controls Gone
I searched, but couldn't find an answer. On Saturday, I started my truck and the HVAC controls came on like normal. I turned on the defrost and a second or so later they quit as if the fuse blew. I checked the fuse for the heater/AC (25 amp) and it was fine. I took a short drive without heat...- DiGiTaL D

Matte Finish Maintenance
Here's a few more pics of it basically done. I added fender flares and went with a black grille and black wheels. About the only other thing I want to do is the cab roof lights when I get around to it.- DiGiTaL D

Help advice needed for body filler
Just my methods here, but I always strip to bare before using any filler. I have a 90° right angle die grinder that is very precise with a 3-inch coarse abrasive disc for stripping. Doesn't gouge the metal and you can strip where you need. If you need to get more aggressive (rust) you can...- DiGiTaL D

Matte Finish Maintenance
I asked my painter about it. He claimed there is no special maintenance needed. He told me its an additive they put in standard gloss clear to make it matte. Somehow I just can't see waxing this surface. It just doesn't seem like it would work out real well. I'll probably just wash it and...- DiGiTaL D

Matte Finish Maintenance
Got a call today from the paint shop that my truck is done. I'm gonna go look at it here in a couple hours. Last year I replaced the rockers and cab corners on both sides and with years of normal wear and tear it really needed new paint overall. I stayed with the factory color (Catalina blue...- DiGiTaL D

No ABS, No Cruise
'92 C2500: I've had this problem since I bought the truck. After starting, the brake light goes off. Once I get up to 35-40MPH it comes back on solid. I have no rear wheel ABS and the cruise does not work. Ran the paperclip test on the OBD-I port and I got what looked like 9 and 10 flashes...- DiGiTaL D

The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread
Hello all, first post here and I have a stupid electronics question. I bought my '92 C2500 a couple months ago. It had an aftermarket stereo in it but the seller removed it before selling leaving an empty bezel. He used an adapter to go from the factory harness to the aftermarket unit so it...- DiGiTaL D
