    Dead on the side of the road!

    And I don't see how battery/alternator explains how the truck suddenly sped up then stalled. Fuel pressure regulator perhaps?

    Dead on the side of the road!

    ICM tested good. I've got good voltage.

    Dead on the side of the road!

    96 C1500 5.7, recent fuel pump, sending unit, regulator, MPFI, distributor, ICM, alternator, battery. Cruising along at 78, suddenly cruise control kicked it up to 85 then engine stalled. Engine not cranking smooth, like it turns a revolution or two then hangs, then repeats. Fuel pressure at...

    96 C1500 ext 5.7 and a travel trailer

    I've got the transmission and oil cooler, big radiator, heavy duty fan clutch. New shocks all the way around. Not looking to haul anything across country, just weekend trips to the lake and stuff.

    96 C1500 ext 5.7 and a travel trailer

    Any way to boost my truck into hauling a 6700lb trailer? I've got the 3.42 gears I believe

    Charging issue has me stumped

    Truck is a 96 C1500 5.7. Initial issue was that the alternator wasn't consistently putting out 14+v. Sometimes when I'd first start the truck my multimeter and gauge would show 14.3v but the interior lights and sometimes the headlights would flicker, then after a few minutes the alternator and...

    ECM-B fuse occasionally blows

    Every so often my ECM-B fuse will blow. Usually happens right when I turn the key on and prevents the fuel pump from starting. I have a new Delco fuel pump and a new relay installed. Recently cleaned all terminals from the alternator and battery. This is on a 96 C1500 5.7. Any ideas?

    Starter choices

    So either starter will work in my rig correct? I was concerned that the different gear tooth counts might mean that there are different flywheel tooth counts...

    Starter choices

    My starter on my 96 1500 5.7 is on its way out so I figured I'd order a new one from an online vendor that I happen to have a discount coupon for. Two versions are available though, a direct drive and a reduction gear model. I see that they also have different tooth counts on the output. Any way...

    Oil type and quantity for 96 non-posi

    I'm on a mission to replace every fluid in my 200k 96 C1500. All that I am lacking is power steering and rear diff. Can anyone tell me what the recommended fluid and capacity is on this? Thanks!

    4L60E swap

    The transmission on my ol 96 1500 2wd just gave up the ghost at a rather inopportune time. I did some reading on here and it would seem that my truck should have a 1 piece bell housing with a 12 pin connector. Friend of a friend has a 4L60E pulled from a 97 Camaro that I can get cheap, but I'm...

    American made Tow mirrors

    I don't need a tow mirror, just looking for something a little larger than stock. I've seen larger mirrors on the express vans, but those won't fit

    American made Tow mirrors

    The factory mirrors are so small on my 96, but the tow mirrors are bigger than I'd like (I don't tow anything more than my 10' trailer). Is there a mirror in the middle somewhere?
