    '95 TBI Misfire?

    My truck's developed a bit of an issue and I was wondering if anyone has had something similar before? '95 K2500 5.7 TBI It starts and runs just fine when its cold and it's ok when it's hot too. No problems. But if I stop and leave it parked for 30 mins or so and then fire it back up it has a...

    Still really slow....

    I've fixed a few little issues with my truck ('95 350 TBI), but it still feels slow. Almost like it's bogging down. But other times it seems to pull much better. It's had a full tune up in the last 200 miles (plugs, leads, filters, cap, rotor, fluids) and I've cleaned the throttle body. Both...

    Sera's '80 LQ9 Camaro

    I bought this car back in 2011, having always hankered after a 2nd gen F-body. The intention was to keep it on the road and do little bits and pieces to it over the course of a few years and slowly get it upgraded into an everyday car. That idea didn't last very long... As soon as I dug into...

    '95 K2500 on the wrong side of the pond...

    Seems only sensible that I make some sort of build thread. There's not that many of these trucks over in the UK and even less owned by a girl. o_O;) I do most stuff myself. I also build motors and transmissions for other people... so yeah. I'm kinda most guys worst nightmares :devilfinger: I...

    LS Swapping my '95 Silverado (5.3 LM7)

    I know there's a couple of threads on here detailing swaps, but I'll make one too. :) After a load of consideration I've decided against rebuilding my 350 TBI and I'm going to drop in a 5.3 LM7 instead. I swapped an LQ9 into my '80 Camaro last year so it seems only sensible to take this route...

    A little oil smoke

    I noticed the other day that my '95 K2500 with 350 TBI smokes a little bit when you lift off the throttle. Not so much when you are driving, but if you rev it and then let the rpms drop it does give off a little bit of blue smoke. So it's mainly under high vacuum that it does it. The truck's...

    4wd actuator

    On my '95 K2500 with the manual transfer case, someone has unplugged the 4wd actuator on the front axle. I've no idea why - what does the actuator do? Is it used for both 4hi and 4lo?

    TPI to Carb conversion

    Considering my options for tuning the TBI or swapping out to carb on my '95 K2500. I'm in no rush to decide so not going to be running out and buying anything just yet. It is my daily driven truck and I do use it for towing and load lugging. So it would be a very mild 350 tune up, good flowing...

    Really Slow...

    ....truck. My '95 350 TBI truck seems really slow - I know it's heavy and currently mostly stock but it's a lot slower than I think it should be. Its got 3.42 rear end, stock diameter tyres. I noticed the SES light came on last night when I was driving, then went off. I will be giving it a...

    4L60E 2-3 Shift Slip/Flare

    Another issue with the 4L60E in my 1995 K2500 truck. I picked it up a few days ago and it was running and driving fine, but now I have a problem with it slipping on the 2-3 shift pretty bad. Even at part throttle. If you back off the throttle it will grip and then be fine. All other gears are...

    Stuck in 3rd - 4L60E '95

    My truck seemed to be shifting fine when I drove it home the other day. But this morning, on the way to work, it seems to be stuck in 3rd gear. Also when I first jumped in it the speedo, tacho and gear indicator weren't functioning. After a few miles the instrument cluster started working again...

    New girl from England!

    Hi! Picked my new truck up yesterday. 1995 K2500 with 350 TBI with 120k on the clock. Bought it as a tow vehicle for my Camaro when I am running at the strip, but any way... It's dog slow, sure it needs a good tune up. And it's got a few minor issues. You don't see many of these in the UK!
