    Rough idle, occasionally dies while driving, running out of ideas....

    Sorry, don't mean to thread jack, but I'm having almost the exact same issues. Very low/rough idle when warm, its only died on me once though. When I drive at freeway speeds, the truck will slowly start to lose power and start to decelerate. I have to floor it to get the power back. This is a...

    Random Missfire Issues

    What about the fuel filter? Was that replaced with the fuel pump?

    "Old Red" 1994 K1500 Rebuild

    Looking back, I wish I would have put a set of vortec heads on mine and maybe a roller cam. When I was rebuilding my engine I was on a tight budget and a quick turnaround. But even without those, the Whipple really woke it up.

    Ac control head issues

    Can't say that I've had the same problem on my 94. I know my radio unit has gotten wonky before. I've just taken apart the bezel and removed the unit and used an air duster to clean the unit and the connectors. Maybe try that?

    "Old Red" 1994 K1500 Rebuild

    I believe it! Even with just my TBI small block it would roast the tires pretty good. And I'm lifted on 33's!

    '94 TBI 350 Timing Chain

    IIRC, when I rebuilt my engine at 205k miles (same year as you), the timing chain and sprocket still looked good. Thankfully you don't have to worry about a chain and sprocket as much as you do a timing belt. I'd say if your truck is running fine with no stumbling, misfires etc. you should be...

    Whipple Pulley Question

    You definitely need to get the truck retuned with the smaller pulley. Fueling requirements might change. Also, I don't think those kits were intercooled, correct? Heat is the enemy. Once you get out of the 5-6psi safe range, you risk higher IAT's which could lead to some detonation. Water/meth...

    Great thread! I desperately need to replace both door pins. Will be using this as a reference for my truck.

    Occasional stalling when i put it in reverse

    Maybe a fuel issue? Worn out fuel pump or clogged fuel filter?

    Engine issues

    I would also check the vacuum line to the MAP sensor. I remember when I was putting my engine back together and I forgot to plug it back in and the truck idled very rough and was running very rich. The SES light would come on intermittently too. After connecting the MAP line correctly, the truck...

    "Old Red" 1994 K1500 Rebuild

    It's been a long time since I've posted any updates. The past 20k miles with the Whipple have been really fun, but I'm starting to get the LS itch. I'm hoping to start piecing together a 6.0 soon. I'll start posting pics once the parts start rolling in. In the meantime, the Whipple kit will get...

    Please Help!! 1999 Yukon OBS Surging when idling.

    Have you changed the fuel filter recently? I know my truck was running really poor when I had a clogged one. Might not be directly related, but they're cheap and that might help.

    1994 K1500 - Rough Idle, Help!

    Thank you for the suggestions. I'll have to fiddle around with the EGR and see if that's the culprit. EGR was one of the few things that was replaced during the engine rebuild, though that was 3 years ago. I'll pull the IAC as well and check for any carbon. Also, I was just troubleshooting the...

    1994 K1500 - Rough Idle, Help!

    Fuel pressure is at the recommended levels per the whipple manual, I can't remember off the top of my head. A brand new fuel filter and fuel pump were put in during the supercharger install. I'll have to source a scanner and see if anything pulls up.

    1994 K1500 - Rough Idle, Help!

    Hey Guys, Recently, my truck has been running pretty poorly. I just rebuilt the engine about 3 years ago and it only has about 20k on the engine. A year after rebuilding it, I put a Whipple TBI supercharger kit on it. It ran fine for a while, but now it's starting to act up. On a cold start...

    Horrible grinding noise - Can't seem to figure out

    You know, I didn't really think about that. I used the old one that was included with the used whipple kit I bought, and for the longest time it sounded just fine. I did go buy a new vatozone tensioner because I thought the old one was wore out, not based off the sound though, but based off it...

    Horrible grinding noise - Can't seem to figure out

    So a couple of months ago I was getting a horrible grinding noise when I turned on the AC. I didn't think the problem needed any further diagnosing, I just went straight for AC compressor. Well I just recently changed it with a brand new unit, and the problem still exists, a terribly loud...

    Low oil pressure in my 94?

    Recently I've started to notice my oil pressure dropping further and further. On a cold start up I have good pressure, right at about 40 or a few notches above. But once the truck starts to warm up, it drops down to maybe the first notch or two. Accelerating back up to speed I have good...
