    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    After installing the Posi-Lok and actually getting my 4wd to work I put it in 4lo and cranked the wheel full lock to one side and the other and realized that my CV shafts are toast..... I thought I could get them installed Friday night before we left Saturday morning, but the folks at the auto...

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    I'm still trying to work out all the kinks in this rig to make it a reliable trail rig and something I can trust on long trips. So far it hasn't left me stranded but also leaves me questioning what the hell is wrong with my idle problem and all the little noises I keep hearing. plus the truck...

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    Well the trip was a success. The truck reliably went on a 400 mile trip this weekend around the "SlickRock" area by Arnold. It didn't skip a beat, just sputtered the whole time under quarter throttle, 4wd didn't work at all and the factory Gov Locker doesn't engage until about 3k RPMs then...

    Single cab behind seat storage

    I bought a ALICE pack and mounted it behind my seat. This cleaned up the jacket that usually floats around on the bench seat. Plus now I got a first aid kit on hand, headlamp, and some other gear. And a bad ass backpack in case of a bug out situation, or my **** breaks down and I need to hike...

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    Today I knocked a few things off my build list, but needed to be done before I head out to the sierras tomorrow morning. I went to the chevy dealership and got the special plastic nut that adjusts the elevation of the bulb, so now one isn't pointed straight at the ground. As well as replaced...

    Hesitation at Low Loads

    I'm having the same issue with my truck I picked up last week. Not really sure where to start. But in 3rd gear around 35mph it stumbles and my rpm gauge bounces up and down under light throttle. Probably less than 25%

    Hi lift mount

    I finally got around to building a Hi-Lift mount… I used the old brackets that where left over from my LJ, and welded them to a piece of 1/8”x2” bar stock that was laying around. That will then mount to the bed steak pockets on the side of the bed. Untitled by kyle mccarty It should work out...

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    So do start replacing all my rear main seal, intake gasket, oil cooler lines, new radiator, etc..... or just keep feeding this leaky ***** fluids and save for a LS swap? The leaks aren't anything horrible. Just more annoying than anything. And the repairs won't cost that much, just time...

    Today has been a good for the k2500 and bad for my wallet. I got some tires on this rig!!! They are 255/85r16 BFgoodrich KM2's. TALL AND SKINNY. I think they fit just rite after I cranked the torsion bars 5 times before heading to the tire shop. Untitled by kyle mccarty I also bought the...

    1992 k2500 overland work truck

    I didn't get much done today. Just cleaning up the garage after my stereo install. But I did dig threw my old knaack box and realized it would be the perfect candidate for a truck box. While going threw it I found lots of LED lights I bought years ago for another truck ( footwell lighting...

    Today I got the stereo roughed in, but I'm not finished with it. Just gonna listen to it for a while before I go even further with the CarPuter. Untitled by kyle mccarty The amp mount still needs Capet so the MDF board isn't exposed. But I'm gonna do that another time. I've pulled it out and...

    And a raspberry pi is a $30 dollar computer. People make all kinds of oporating systems for them. Hopefully I'll have a back up camera, gps navigation, wifi and a hardrive with all my ****, a touch screen, and a OBD1 reading to display all my sensors information if I'd like.
