    Engine problems, need advice

    I'd also check Vacum lines. Something as simple as this has caused me issues in the past, but mine was at take off underload. Check the pcv valve and hose if it has one ( im not sure if the vortecs do or not). Could it be egr?

    Power after ignition turned off.

    Thanks man, I invested in a power probe and Volt meter, as well as a subscription to Alldata DIY for the diagrams like you said. Those things are well worth the money and I am much more confident in dealing with electrical stuff now. But hopefully I have all the boogers solved in this truck now.

    Power after ignition turned off.

    Well, I honestly should have referenced back to this thread when I started trying to fix the issue 4 years later. You all were correct in diagnosing the problem as some janked up wiring in the head unit. I feel like a DA. But the problem is fixed! I forgot all the helpful suggestions yall made...

    Symptoms of a malfunctioning fuse block?

    You. Are. A. Freaking. Genius. Dude. So I pulled the wires down through the dash and they looked worse than I thought they did. All i did was unplug the factory harness that had a plug at one end, and had the butt splices that went to the aftermarket CD player on the other, just to try...

    So, I should see an Orange wire spliced into the radio fuse wire near the cd player harness? ( which is powered on when key is turned?)

    Symptoms of a malfunctioning fuse block?

    AK49BWL, with the fuse in the dome lights work, the cigarette lighter is removed, and I could never find the wires for it. As far as the radio, it's original one is removed and a really old JVC is in the middle of the dash. It did work before I took it out when I began trying to find this...

    AC Compressor Identification

    Ok, So by air gap, you are referring to the gap between the back of the clutch and the front of the compressor correct? Did you measure this by using a caliper?

    AC Compressor Identification

    Erik, the condenser is in very rough shape. And the truck has stayed in the garage since the line tore so I may not flush the evaporator. I'll probably just run with the 7.5. PlayingwithTBI, copy that. I have never thought of charging with the truck off, but I like that Idea because it will...

    AC Compressor Identification

    As always, Thank you in advance for any and all input. I am moving on to tackle the AC in my 94 K1500. Due to a ruptured line from trying to change the high side service valve, I am replacing the AC lines, as well as the accumulator, orifice tube, and condenser. I will be flushing the evaporator...

    Frustrating Starter Issue *pics*

    Fast forward to a year later. I hope this helps someone. After trying a variety of starters and shims, I replaced the flexplate. It needed it. I went to start it up and the grinding was gone, but it was still jumping all over the place when I would turn it over. I started remembering what I had...

    As always, thank you for all input and advice. My truck is a 1994 K1500 5.7 TBI. I have recently did a front end rebuild and changed out my oil pan. The 3 year old Reman Oriellys starter was removed for about a month during this process. When I put everything back together, filled with oil, and...

    Help Identifying Unknown Wiring Harness Connector

    It looks like the connection that goes into the switch that is in the left top corner of the picture. It screws into the accumulator. From what I've heard they are prone to failure after a few years. Hell who kno ws, you may be able to plug it back in and have a functioning AC.
