    Bucket Seat to 60/40 Bench

    Either I'm blind and suck at searching, or someone hasn't asked this... if someone has, I apologize for the duplicate post. The electronic bucket seats in my 1995 ECSB are on their way out and motors seem to no longer be available. Tracks are pretty loose too. It currently has a center...

    Rogue's '95 Chevy K1500

    My 1997 K1500 had a bad spot in a frame I couldn't get fixed (and almost separated according to the frame shop), so I went out and purchased a replacement. Fortunately, I've been able to transfer some of my interior mods and body parts over to it. The night I purchased it a couple weeks ago...

    Rogue Bought Another Truck...

    So...this happened last week. Picked up this 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 with 60,000 miles and the LT3 package. It has all sorts of bells and whistles I'm not used to like leather seats, heated seats, Bose sound system, electronic seats with memory, and more. The interior looks like it's...

    Slow Crank Seems to have Mechanic Puzzled Too

    I may have posted a year ago or so about my odd slow crank issue on my K1500, but here's an interesting read/update that seems to have the mechanic puzzled too. It has the 5.7 Vortec and a direct drive starter. When I drive it around town or on the interstate and stop for a short while (5-10...

    New PS Pump Whining...what am I missing here?

    So I installed my new PS pump yesterday, a reman ACDelco pump, since I was doing the EVO delete anyway and my old one was getting pretty leaky. Replaced two of the lines too since I was there. This new one, though, is whining. I've never done this before, but is that normal? I did the...

    Ebay: Chevrolet Truck Shop Service Repair Manual CDs

    Just ordered one of these for my '97 K1500, figured for the price it was worth the gamble. If anyone has any experience with these, please feel free to chime in. Otherwise, I'll post when I get it in a week or two. The printed manuals were running at $100 or more for worn, beat up sets for...

    1988 K1500 Losing Coolant Passes Pressure Test

    I rented a cooling system pressure tester for the week to check my '97 K1500 and it is good, but on my father's '88 K1500 with the 5.0 TBI it's losing coolant. I pressure tested it cold, and it held 15 PSI for more than five minutes no problem...think I left it on there for maybe 10 minutes and...

    Forum Will not Allow Me to Attach Photos Anymore

    What's the deal since the site was down? I can't seem to attach photos to my posts anymore, getting an error that I am exceeding my quota by 1.20 MB, even though the photo is roughly 300 KB. Same goes for the error snapshot that is 15 KB.

    Lead and Coolant(still) in Oil Analysis-Why?

    After having intake gaskets changed a year ago on my '97 5.7 Vortec, I decided to send an oil analysis in once I put some miles on it and a couple oil changes. I changed the oil in October with only 500 miles on it, second oil change (possibly third?) since they changed the intake gaskets. I...

    Do I REALLY have to remove the front dif for a lousy axle seal?!

    Hi all, I decided to tackle the leaking front driver's side axle seal on my 97 K1500, 3.73 gear ratio. I have seen other members able to remove the driver's front axle without a problem, but I went to do it, and the top quarter inch of the flange? for the inner axle hits right on the frame...

    Front Axle Seals? Different in designs without tearing apart?

    Hi all, I had the pleasure today of discovering the driver side front axle seal leaking differential fluid on my '97 K1500. Looking at ordering axle seals from Rockauto, I see there are two different designs with different dimensions. My question is: how do I tell the difference without...

    Troubleshooting Mirror Temp/Compass Install-Your Thoughts Welcome

    Hi all, I recently received a rearview mirror with the compass and temperature feature. Yesterday I did the install, and it powers up and all just fine with one issue. I ran the power to the ignitition/12 V power supply for the radio, ground to a grounded screw in the cab, and the green...

    Rogue's '97 Chevy K1500

    I figured I'd do a write up on my ongoing (mis)adventure's of the 1997 Chevrolet K1500 5.7L Silverado I picked up last October. This is sort of a way for me to document for myself stuff I've done (and learned from) and to possibly entertain anyone else perusing the forums. It's been an...

    Fuel Lines-Where to Buy Third Line?

    Hi all, I need to replace the fuel lines (Thanks, 28 years of Wisconsin winter roads!) on my father's 1988 Chevy K1500 5.0 305 pickup, reg cab 8' bed. I have been able to find the supply and return lines from tank to fuel filter, and from that to the engine. I cannot seem to find a pre bent...

    Radiator and Temp Issues Advice

    Hi all, I have a 1997 K1500 with 5.7 Vortec reg cab. I just recently swapped radiators due to a leak, and upgraded to a 2 1/4" thickness radiator compared to the stock 1" radiator. Since then, I've noticed that my temperature gauge in the dash has been acting different (I've tested the gauge...

    Newb Oil Cooler and Radiator Dilemma Question

    Hi all, New to the forum here, though I've read threads on here before I registered. I have a 1997 Chevy K1500 5.7 L V8 that I replaced the radiator on today. It has both the transmission cooler and oil cooler on the radiator. I mixed the oil cooler lines up after I took the old leaky...
