    New Leaf Springs?

    Thanks for all the replies. Great information. Just as an FYI, this was all newbie issue. I simply jacked it down, still not even close to level, then I drove it for about one mile and over a couple bumps. Done, truck backend sits perfectly level now. So, just a newbie mistake of not letting...

    New Leaf Springs?

    It looks like one of my leaf springs is sagging, a newbie here so want some confirmation. A year ago or so I got a 1994 K1500 ECSB. The previous owner appears to have cranked up the bars in front and leveled the truck out. For me, 25 years later, this caused any sort of weight in the back to...

    Steering slack

    When I got my truck a few months ago (94 SBEC) it has litterally about 4 inches of turn play in the wheel before it would even start to turn the tires. I did the XJ steering shaft swap (gets rid of rag joint) and it cut that play completely in half. So it is a great upgrade. Now I just need to...

    285s stock

    "or crank 2" and throw a block in the rear". This is exactly what my 94 Z71 has with 285/75/16. No trimming but my left front tire barley rubs when turning hard left parking lot turns.

    Wheels from NBS work on OBS (OE)?

    Hello all, just a quick question someone probably knows offhand. Do you know if the newer chevy 1500 wheels from 99 and up will fit the same on the OBS trucks from '88 to '98? I found some OE chevy chrome rims that are 17 inches and wondering if they will work on a 94 ECSB that currently has the...

    Torsion Key and Block lift

    I have a 94 ECSB with 285s and cranked pretty far but not crazy tight. The PO also but one inch blocks on the back and the truck sits perfectly level. But as soon as you put any weight in the back it rides nose high. So I really want a 2 inch block and that should be perfect.

    False Neutral Between 2nd and 3rd

    Hello all. I have a 1994 K1500 with a 4l60e and I have a slight problem when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. It will sometimes hit neutral when upshifting from 2nd to 3rd. It will go in once I let of throttle for a couple seconds. It does not do this every time and varies on throttle position so I...

    Battery Draining on 1994 K1500

    Indeed it did. I have tested for two weeks now and the battery has been great. So that aftermarket alarm was indeed the parasite.

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    I got this done. I ended up getting a new one, it melted right apart and installed like a champ. At least half of my play is gone and it is enjoyable to drive now and not a constant chore. I will eventually get the new steering gear box to get rid of the rest of the slop (it did have a little...

    Battery Draining on 1994 K1500

    I updated my Dome light thread and should probably post it here too. I got under the dash and found the motion sensor part of the keyless entry system. I unplugged this but the little indicator light on the dash stayed on and some light still stayed on. I then found some fuses that were embedded...

    Dome Light Stays On

    Update, I think it is resolved. First: Doh, sorry about the year missing, can't do much without that. Anyway it was indeed the alarm wiring. I finally got under the dash further and found the motion sensor part of the alarm. I unplugged this but the little indicator light on the dash stayed on...

    Battery Draining on 1994 K1500

    Hello all, I have joined the GMT400 club with a 1994 K1500 ECSB. I thought it had a bad battery but it appears something is actually draining it while it sits. Brought a brand new one and it was completely dead in 3 days. Drives fine for a day or two always charging it up fine, so not the...

    Wheel Upgrade Questions

    Hello all. I have a 1994 k1500 that is currently running stock rims with 285/75/16s on them. I want to upgrade the wheels and found some Helo Series wheels on Craigslist that seem like an okay buy. The seller says they are 17X9 but I don't see those sold on main web sites, they show 17X8. They...

    Power Locks Quit Working

    Hello, I have a 1994 K1500 I just recently bought. The power locks kind of worked when I got it. By kind of I mean they engaged but didn't seem to have enough power to lock/unlock. They are pretty hard to move manually. I had to do it about 3 times and they would finally work their way down...

    Won't Upshift or Downshift Under Throttle

    Thanks guys, I will see if I can find a leak in the lines. I think I see them, two of them going from the trans up to the TBI. I guess those are them. I have the 4l60e so I guess the throttle valve doesn't apply. Thanks for responding.

    The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

    Hello all, I recently picked up a 1994 K1500. I am completely a greenhorn to these trucks and any kind of truck work and lifts. I have read all pages of these sticky's and an trying to get up to speed. It looks like the PO has already cranked the front to level. I can see the keys cranked way up...

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    Okay, I got the shaft. I just got a new one from that link. It costs me 20 bucks just to go even one junk yard (that didn't have it) as I live way out. So the cost and time was worth it. My question is where exactly do you heat it up? It is indeed very stuck together and wont move either way...

    Won't Upshift or Downshift Under Throttle

    Read through all these and my problem seems just a little different, but maybe we are just explaining it different so I wanted to post here. I actually just got a 94 K1500, my first gmt400. When I drive normally everything seems to shift and drive mostly fine, sometimes hard shift but seems...

    Dome Light Stays On

    I have a problem with my dome light staying on. I have read a few threads and its not the door switch itself but is related. Details: Dome light will not turn off. Although, sometimes it will. I finally found a common thing. The PO installed a Clifford keyless entry system. The remote no...

    answer to any 4l60e trouble

    Read through all these and my problem seems just a little different. I actually just got a 94 K1500, my firm gmt400. When I drive normally everything seems to shift and drive mostly fine. If I have to give it a big bit of gas (not fully WOT) it will seem to hit a false when it should shift up...

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    Thanks y'all. To check the steering gear play can you just reach down and try and turn it by hand where the steering shaft connects and feel for any play? And if there is play then maybe I need one of the Redheads as V-Kint mentioned? Am I following you correctly or off base?

    XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade (88-94 Trucks) 95+instructions on page 31

    Hello all, I am brand new to these trucks and of course then this forum. I looked at several forums and decided this was the best one and I am sure glad I picked this one. I just got a 1994 K1500 extended cab and the first thing I noticed was how loose the steering was and wondering how to...
