    Bumper & Bed ...interference

    When I got my truck it had a roll pan. It was beat all to so I cut it off. I also had to take the bed off several times to deal with fuel tank,sender, and pump issues. A couple years ago I snagged a rear bumper from a 97 that had the bed removed. It sat until now, when I finally enlarged two...

    Misfiring and Troubleshooting?

    1990 TBI A week ago my truck started running really bad, rough, and low on power. Eventually it cleared up, i thought maybe it had something to do with how cold it was that morning. Then it started to run progressively worse over the next few days. I discovered the Passenger side TBI injector...

My new pump arrived ($93 with strainer), put it all together and......nothing. Finally I looked where I didn't expect, the fuel sending units wiring. Which...

    Lets talk about fuel pumps....

    In just over a year, I'm getting into my fuel pump again. Mine is an ac delco EP381 (97 vortec pump) and it only has to supply a measly 13psi to my TBI, yet this was a warranty replacement pump the warranty period has passed. I did all the right stuff, keep the tank at minimum 1/4 full...

    Death of a fuel pump?

    A few weeks ago, I drove my truck into work for the the first time in a while. When I left at lunch, it started to fire up, but coughed out. Then it would crank and crank but no start. It was pouring rain outside, and thought it was ignition, but then it just sort of miraculously started. Sweet...

    Loud whine, brand new fuel pump.

    Just had my truck out for its first real drive. On my way home I hear this loud ass whine. When I get home I can definitely tell its coming from the fuel pump. I shut off the engine for a bout 15 seconds. On restart, it sounded normal again. I'm running the AC delco pump for 96+ vortec engines...

    1990 C1500 ABS (RWAL) removal.

    This is easy to do, but with a little information it will make it easier and more straight forward. My truck is a 1990....it seems that this should be the same on c1500's from 1988* to 1994*. What you need. 1/2" wrench/socket 9/16" and 1/2" flare wrench for brake lines. 5/16" male x 1/4" female...

    TBI, vortec, and emissions

    In my area (metro Atlanta) yearly emissions testing is required, and for pre-obd2 vehicles a Sniffer test on a dyno is the norm. My (recently accquired) truck has failed emissions and I'm pretty sure its due to a head gasket, or the coolant killing the O2 sensor. So if I gotta pull the heads, I...

    Do GMT400's typically have crappy brakes, or is it just mine.

    My 1990 RCSB 2wd, Auto with 280K has some ridiculously bad brakes. I asked my brother about it, since it was his truck and he said the brakes always sucked, even after a new brake job. The truck was his father in law's before that, and apparently he said it had shitty brakes even when it was...

    Cooling system nightmare....1990 5.7L

    I just bought my truck (1990 5.7, RCSB) from my brother for $300 bucks. He had it sitting for a few years, and the last time it had been started was nearly a year ago. I knew it needed a fuel pump which I've changed, but the cooling system is hellish. The radiator spout had all kinds of...

    Vacuum Lines (where to get them?)

    Hello all, I picked up a 1990 C1500 RCSB 5.7L in January...Towed it home 300 from Florida to Georgia. I bought it from my brother, who pretty much let this former example of a nice truck deteriorate. Started off with the fuel pump, then I saw the condition of the TBI.....it was bad. Got that...
