    1997 suburban rear seats in a 1992 c1500?

    Found these at the JY today and my truck is grey/black with an orange stripe so they would fit perfectly but just didn’t know how well they might fit in a regular cab 1992 c1500. I’ve seen mixed answers… I figured at a minimum I would need to drill new bolt hole locations.

    Reverse lights coming in only between park and reverse

    Hey guys! I just acquired another GMT... it’s a 1990 K2500’HD’. It has a recently rebuilt 400 transmission but I can’t get reverse lights to come on when it’s actually in reverse. They’ll come on only when the gear selector is between park and reverse just before the tranny fully goes into...

    Drivers side brake light is intermittent

    This has been driving me nuts for over a year so I figured I would finally ask for some help... every light and function works great but the drivers brake light sometimes will decide not to work. I’ve fixed up the mess of wiring the P.O. Did, replaced all bulbs, replaced multi function switch...

    I. A. C. Torque spec

    Hello! I FINALLY got the ac in my truck converted to R134 and it shakes pretty good at idle with it on so I’m going to replace the IAC and see if that helps. Does anyone know the torque for it? I know it’s 13ft lbs on a TPI engine but I wasn’t sure it would be the same for the TBI engine and my...

    Bad lock cylinder?

    Seems like every month there's something new :33: Novembers issue, is that, intermittently, while starting the truck, the key gets stuck past accessory. So the engine starts fine but then wont go into gear, brake light turns on the dash and no power to windows or the radio. If it wiggle it for...

    Is this wire stock?

    I replaced the ignition control module and this yellow wire was connected to it somewhere, no idea how. I assume it’s a wire that was used when some idiot poorly installed a remote start years ago but before I removed it I just wanted to be sure.

    Interesting fuel gauge issue

    As some of you know, I replaced my whole cluster since I somehow busted mine trying to replace a bulb... long story... anyway! The cluster i got was from a 1994 suburban with tach. It had 294k on it but was in good shape. Everything works well BUT when I topped it off with gas, the fuel gauge...

    One gauge light not working

    The bulb behind the oil pressure gauge doesn’t seem to work... I’ve replaced the bulb twice and the second time it did light up but a few minutes later stopped working. All the other lights are fine. Any ideas?

    OEM grade interior door handle

    I've been trying and failing on finding a good quality replacement door handle. I ordered some from amazon that had the best reviews but my lord they are cheaply made. I've looked on ebay and rockauto as well and they all sell the same cheapos that amazon has. Any ideas?

    How does this happen...

    I just got back from vacation in Ohio in-which we took the wife’s car. I put the truck in the garage while we were gone. So today I go to the hardware store for some screws and when I return... I NOTICE I HAVE A FREAKIN CRACKED WINDSHIELD!! what the heck is this. Can temp change do this?

    Interior door handle issue

    Hey guys! So on my 92, when I pull the door handle to open, the handle doesn’t snap back like the passenger side does, it just stays put until I push it back which is annoying because the door won’t shut unless the handle is fully in the closed position. Do I have to replace the whole thing or...

    Coolant temp sensor

    Hey guys! I’ve been wanting to replace my coolant temp sensor because it’s cheap and easy and throwing new parts in a 26 year old truck can’t hurt. BUT apparently there’s 2 of them? One for the PCM and another for the gauge? The gauge works so that one is good, but is there a difference between...

    M.P.G. question

    Hey guys! Quick question. I went to the gas station tonight and $70 later o_O she was full! I ran the math and I got 13 mpg... ouch. It was almost all city driving though but with news plugs and wires I figured it would be closer to the 15 that the EPA suggested. Unless is getting 13 normal or...

    A fallen screw...

    As I was driving I felt something hit my right foot. At first I thought it was a big gross bug but nope! This random screw fell out from under the dash. Any ideas my genius friends?:/

    Cup holders in a 92?

    Would something like this fit on my 92? My friends 93 has cup holders but my 92 doesn't :( https://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-1994-Chevy-Silverado-GMC-Sierra-Truck-Blue-Cup-Holder-Cupholder/162632824467?hash=item25ddabf693:g:~BkAAOSwT3haDzdC

    Steering wheel off after shaft replacement

    Hey guys! I was bored yesterday and slapped the XJ shaft on and noticed that to go straight, the wheel needs to be about 20 degrees to the right otherwise it’ll pull left. Thinking the shaft was off, I removed it and put on the old shaft and it still does it. So do I somehow need an alignment now?

    20 cars GM made that made “no sense”

    I disagree with a lot in this article. Whoever wrote it seems pretty clueless. 1992 c1500 having engine issues? It’s been the same motor for years https://www.hotcars.com/chevy-cars-from-the-nineteen-nineties-that-made-no-sense/

    Air intake question.

    I was thinking about removing/keeping open that odd flapper inside the air intake but while reading about that, apparently there’s supposed to be a hose connecting the bottom of the flap to the exhaust!?!?! Is that true? If so mines missing..

    Throttle cable mod

    Hey guys! I couldn’t find a post about this so I thought I’d share it with you. I learned about this trick with my old Ranger and was surprised that is also worked with my ‘92. Not sure what other years it would work on...

    Help finding touch up paint...

    I have lower color 9658 or sometimes called WA9658. It’s a dark silver metallic and dang I can’t find any touch up paint that’s not some weird brand. Any ideas? My upper color 8555 is super easy to find and even AcDelco makes a touch up paint for that but nothing for 9658:(

    What is this called...

    Anyone know the correct term for these bumper attachments? I saw them earlier on a 93ish c1500 and quite liked the classic look. No idea if it was factory or not.

    Engine ticking noise finally fixed

    Hey guys! I figured I would post this in case anyone else is having this issue. So I have had my '92 4.3 for about a month now and it has had this tick on the passenger side that has been driving me mad. (I don't remember it being there during the first days of ownership). Earlier today I asked...

    Broken Cruise Control

    Hey guys! I just replaced the multifunction switch on my 92 4.3L and the darn cruise still doesn't work :( The cable looks good. Do the modules go bad a lot?
