    Gmt400 cab/bed on gmt800 chassis

    I like this idea. I’ve thought about doing it for my ‘95 Suburban K1500. I’ve driven an ‘02 Suburban and it rose like a Caddy compared to the GMT400 chassis. Brakes will be much better as stated above. Looks like the GMT400 K1500 wheelbase is 1.5” longer then the GMT800’s. Would one just move...

    Charging Problem

    I have done that, and from the alternator the voltage is low. That's why this is so confusing. Today I went and had it tested at AutoZone, it tested fine, as soon as I install it the voltage starts at 14, the drops to 12 and stays there.

    Charging Problem

    Was this on an LS swapped truck? As I wrote in the original post, I connect to the alternator directly to the battery with jumper cables. This still did not help my issue.

    Charging Problem

    I have cleaned ALL the connections and the alternator mounting points. There's no paint between the bracket and the block. Plus I connected the alternator directly to the battery, ground and positive. Again this worked fine all summer, fall, up until three weeks ago.

    Charging Problem

    How can I tell if my belt is slipping? The belt tensioner would have to be broken if that was the case, correct? I'm not running any AC so all I have is the alternator power steering pump and the water pump. I checked the resistance of the fusible link and it read at .3ohms.

    Charging Problem

    Hey all, I've got a problem. Recently my volt gauge would drop to 11.5 and jump up to its usual 14.4+ area. It kept doing this until finally the needle spent more time on the left side of the gauge. I finally took my alternator in and the brushes were nearly gone so they were replaced and the...

    GMT400 to LS Harness Questions

    Wow, I completely forgot about this post. I will have to update and edit my list, because I just got the truck done in April of this year! As far as the OPS goes, the '02 harness OPS plug plugs directly into the '02 LM7's OPS. Take a look at this Facebook page, it is the reason I didn't pull...

    Looking for help on my parts list

    I dont know if you want the AN look, if you do skip this. I was going to use the AN fittings, but I decided to go ahead and use the GMT400's stock fuel lines and just replace the hose with higher pressure hose, crimp fittings, and the LS quick disconnect ends. A lot cheaper and it looks stock...

    I used the same clutch & flywheel that I had on my 5.7. I'm almost sure it's going to be the same for you. Give the clutch manufactures a dial.

    LS Swapping my '95 Silverado (5.3 LM7)

    Do you have any loose wires at the C100 yet? Yes, Ive removed my DRAC already. Seems that the LS PCM can do everything the old PCM and DRAC did. Have you gotten around to the oil pressure sensor and your fuel pump relay? Those were some items that I still have to get taken care of as well.

    wiring help on swap please

    After looking around, I think its pretty safe to say that I should "T" the GMT800 VSS wires (Red 20&21?) into the GMT400's VSS wires. Is that correct? Is there a better way of doing this? There is also the GMT800's Red 50, that is the tach output, correct? Where should I connect it in the...
