    RCLB parking brake cables?

    So I've spent a couple days reading threads and talking to parts people to get parking brake cables for RCLB. Everything I've read and everyone I've talked to has had different opinions. The dealer wants me to bring it in, so I'm kind of over searching. This is a 1990 K3500 regular cab, long...

    Anyone running 19.5's on a SRW

    I've been considering going to 19.5's on my k3500 with SRW. I bumper tow up to 12k for farm bits and bobs. I don't like the squish and sway. Right now I'm running 245/75 16s. I am wanting a taller tire too, but it already sways a bit with the 245s. I am offroad quite (in the fields) a bit as...

    Rear Frame Crossmembers. All the same between long box?

    For rear cross members, will they all be the same between 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1 ton? All of my crossmembers after the cab are rotted and need replaced. Since so many GMT400s are rotted out, I may have to take what I can find. They aren't load bearing per se, but figured I would ask.

    90 k3500 wheel bearing replacement in the hub?

    I was shocked to find out the hub assemblies were 200 a side. Has anyone replaced just the bearing in the hub? Normally if they have a hub assembly I don't worry about pulling it apart but this may be an exception.

    Better maintenance access with a suspension lift?

    One thing I've never cared for on my k3500 is the IFS and how it obscures everything. Do those of you with suspension lifts (like Cepek) find it easier to do some maintenance (like replacing oil pan gaskets or oil cooler lines)? I know there are a lot of beefy brackets that are installed, but...

    Window channel for passenger side?

    Dormant lists 921-210 for a left side window channel. I can find nothing for the passenger side. Is there one currently being made? Will the driver side fit on the passenger side?

    Spray touchup for WA8865 Light Sandstone Metallic that is less than $20

    I can find aerosol WA8865 but I think $20+ is a bit pricey. Is this available anywhere else for less? I realize it's an older color and likely the average paint store can get me a pint that's close, but figured I'd ask.

    88-91 Cluster harness plug removal

    I picked up a cluster with the tach. In order to switch the pins I need to pull the connector. I can't see any way short of cutting out some of the plastic to make that realistic. Is that what others have done? I can see the release pins, but sliding it I quickly run out of travel and there...

    Wheel hub assembly SRW vs DRW 90 K3500

    So as I prepare for a complete front end revamp I was looking at wheel bearings/hub assembly. The SRW hub assembly is almost $100 dollars more than the DRW hub assembly. Is there really a difference? Usually it's just the spacer that makes the difference.

    U-Joint upgrades for 90' K3500

    It seems as if the K3500 has the largest joints it can have already, but wondering if there are some out there (beyond just buying MOOG) and what experiences have been. This is a vehicles that tows 95% of the time. The generic auto part store joints have lasted 100k but are now terminal ahaha...

    Wanted: rear-front 3500 leaf spring brackets.

    Looking for the leafspring brackets for a 3500. Particularly the front rears. But if you've lowered your truck and want to get of all of them I'd take all of them. Mine's a 90 but I think any of the GMT400s will fit as long as they are 1 ton. Thanks!

    Ranger gear splitter

    My 90 K3500 has a 465. Ranger shows this fits up to 87 sm465. Was there any difference on the 88 and up versions?

    What's everyone using for backup cams?

    I use my k3500 almost exclusively for towing... so a backup cam is finally going in, even though I rarely disconnect the trailer. Any recommendations? I've seen a lot of the wireless, but for reliability I'm thinking of a wired system. In particular, I'd like the monitor to also be able to...

    Z03 : APPEARANCE PACKAGE, 25 ANNIVERSARY, what did it comprise of?

    After going through my RPO codes, one of them is Z03 : APPEARANCE PACKAGE, 25 ANNIVERSARY. What did that package comprise of? Or was it one of those build options that basically of them received?

    Binding on torque converter when tightening

    Replaced the motor on my brother in laws k1500 with a diesel. Everything goes well but when I tighten bell housing bolts the last 1/8 of an inch I am inable to turn the converter/motor. I loosen the bolts and shift it apart an 1/8 and I can turn it over again. I cant think of any place it would...

    Kodiak front on pickup?

    Anyone put a Kodiak/topkick front on a pickup? My fenders are toast and the hoods off those are cheap. I've thought about going that route and adding a body lift for larger tires to my 3500. I thought I had read something before on it, but can't find it in searches here or on google.

    90 K3500 4 speed transmission upgrade options (5spd)

    On my 90 k3500 the 4 speed (3spd w/granny) falls out of second if you don't hold it, particularly going up hills. I think I'll pull it and repair whenever it needs a new clutch. But, it also go me to thinking about putting a 5 speed in it so it can handle highways a little easier. At 60 the 350...

    Source for rear leaf spring FRONT hanger on K3500.

    I have looked everywhere without luck for the front hanger on the rear leaf springs. I saw one person a couple years ago on here that was looking for them, but never found them as far as I can tell. Mine are about ready to go. The scrap yards here either don't want to mess with it or the...

    Hello from Indiana

    Hello. I've got a 90 k3500 with the 350 and a 3spd/granny. It was recommended that I come here. No immediate plans to mod it. The only think I can even think of doing would be a SAS, but this is a farm truck and I use it as such so until the ifs start having a lot of trouble, I'm not going to...
