    Overhead console upgrade Q

    Is the white wire below an antenna for the home link? My original plug only had black and white wires, wondering if I need to worry about the white when I wire in the connector... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bummed with AC overhaul

    95 K2500, all new components, sensors, full dash-pull and rebuild box - both front and rear... Can't get the compressor to kick on. It holds vacuum, everything is ready to go just can't get it on. May have to dig into dash/firewall wiring, although I know I didn't leave anything loose...

    Turn signal madness

    I installed new LED blinkers and headlights with a project that started as AC condenser/evaporator/pump fix. - I had to pull the dash and harness to get the HVAC box out. Since I had to replace the condenser, might as well install that HD headlight wiring harness, and go for those LED...

    Good body work in Portland OR?

    Life happens... hard. I want it fixed. I don’t want 1/2 inch deep bondo, but a pull or patch. Have had really bad luck with trades of any kind - I’m now a makeshift: mechanic; plumber; framer; dry-waller; painter; landscaper - but not a body man. Anyone recommend someone up here in the NW to...

    Forget it... Taxes coming back, decision made: keep the K2500 and get it where I want it. 4" Lift NV4500 conversion TBI to port EFI conversion Head/cam/manifold upgrade clean tan leather interior conversion with sound deadening. It doesn't feel like it's too much to ask. I should be able to...

    CV Replacement - '95 K2500 - ???

    So I watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUBkxseNWqc Not so bad, I could do that. Then, I see how very different the upper/lower control arms are on the '95 - can't get the CV out, wondered how even if I did, I would ever get the new CV in without ripping a boot again. I removed the...

    What to expect from oil pressure movement...

    My oil gauge is moving around a bit more than usual. I’ve had some other problems, and can’t be too sure if I’m not just paying more attention to it now or what. I previously blew a gasket in the oil filter adapted and lost all oil pressure, and upgraded to Tahoe 120MPH gauges. Seems like...

    1995 454 TBI filter adapter - advice for major breakdown

    So after a little camping trip Saturday before the Superbowl, we're all ready to head home, nurse our hangover and chill watching the game. On the way home, my filter adapter decided to drop all the oil in a matter of seconds. I just posted about a gauge cluster upgrade, and for a second...

    Gauge upgrade, replacement, red LEDs

    Old 100MPH gauges: New 120MPH gauges: But the gas gauge didn't work, so I had to swap it out: And I've found the trip counter stops at a mile, I'll have to swap that too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Complete antenna + wire replacement - any advice

    I rock out on weekends, which justifies the investment in stereo/amp/sub/speakers - but during the week I listen to AM radio. I'm old, or lame, or both, I can deal with that. But the aftermarket radio plug needs a converter for the smaller OEM plug and generally sucks. I've gone through a...

    Dumb Roof Rack Question

    I've got a 1995 K2500 Suburban. I want to get a Thule fit kit for a rack over the front of the truck, in the door rails - I'm using the back OEM roof rails for a large box. SO - I'm guessing that a Thule fit kit for a quad cap pickup would be what I'm looking for, BUT, I've got an old...

    Type II steering conversion

    I've got a '95 TBI 454. It looks like there is bracketry, and GM high flow pumps out there, just wondering what folks have come across if they've done this before. Stupid little things like the belt being out of alignment, or the flow being wrong for the hydroboost, or misc connections not...

    New Here - 1995 K2500 Suburban

    Newb to the forum. Here's the rig. I love this thing. I have a Buell XB12 to customize so, I want to do some things but keep the look of this rig clean and stock, outside of the rims. No lift, no bumper, winch, or that type of stuff. Maybe some performance parts though. Basically a family...
