    1994 k1500 problem

    Did you check the ground wires that are mounted to the frame down by the transmission? They might be loose.

    Driver's Front Clunk Noise at Low Speed - Help!

    I am having trouble with my 1997 K1500 truck. When turning at low speeds and also when braking at low speeds, I get a clunk noise from the drivers side wheel well. Here's what I have checked so far: The brakes and brake calipers are brand new and everything is tight. The tie rod ends, idler...

    Shutter Noise from Drivetrain

    Just today, I started to have issues on my 1997 K1500 (4.3L 5sp Manual). I drove it about 20 miles in some pretty decent stop and go traffic when I started feeling this shutter out of the drivetrain. It seems like a moving gear was hitting a gear that was stopped, or something similar. I...

    What kind of mileage do you get?

    I've gotten just over 22mpg on the highway (70-75mph) and about 17mpg in mixed driving. LOL, I do have a 4.3L and a 5 speed, but 4WD and an 8' bed. It isn't going to win any races but at least it gets decent fuel ecomony for what it is...

    Engine Squeak - Engine Pulley?

    Alright, I think I made some progress today. Removed the belt today and everything was good. Put everything back on, started the engine and it was quiet. Then, I revved the engine to about 1500 and started turn the wheel and darned if the engine didn't start chirping again! I take that means...

    Engine Squeak - Engine Pulley?

    If the power steering pump was bad, wouldn't it make more noise as you turned the steering wheel? Turning the steering wheel doesn't affect the noise at all. Just curious, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the help! It sounds like the noise is coming right between the fan shroud and top...

    SES: Codes P0300, P0420, P0420PD

    Well, I got a tuneup and the left bank O2 sensor replaced. The light stayed off for a day and is right back on. Any chance that is it still one of the other O2 sensors? There doesn't appear to be any visible damage to the catalytic convertor, or any part of the exhaust system that I can tell...

    SES: Codes P0300, P0420, P0420PD

    I just got an old farm truck this weekend and the SES light came on the day after I picked it up. I pulled the codes and three came up: P0300, P0420 and P0420PD. The truck is a 1997, K1500 4.3L with 120,000 miles on it. Any thoughts? One other thing that is strange is that I took it through...
