    Air filter smells like gas?

    I'll have to do that cause now its running a little worse. harder to get up and go. I'll change the O2 sensor and give that a shot. I just really like this truck and I dont want it to be a problem child.

    Air filter smells like gas?

    So no doubt I'm beating a dead horse and am bringing up an annoying question; But I just replaced my air filter, took it for a spin or two and checked it a day later and it smells no better then the old one. Strong gas smell and it seems to be getting too much fuel, seeing as that my fuel...

    Exhaust nightmare

    Yeah I can honestly say I don't ever want to do that again. It seemed to help with performance a little bit. I'm hoping to see an improvement with mileage. AAAAAAND of course I get home just to find out the radiator is cracked. nice.

    Exhaust nightmare

    So I recently inherited my new to me c1500 with the 4.3. Had a terrible exhaust leak and a few other things once I stuck a water pump in it. This ended up being the culprit. A $10 part from oreillys costed me a grand total of $180 when it was all said and done. These are the manifolds...

    Coolant temp sensor question.

    The stock gauge always reads low for some reason. Reason why I say that is I had my code reader on my 96 when I had it and it said it was running in between 190 and 205 all the time but the dash said 160/180 or so. If you can check it with a code reader or get an aftermarket gauge. I just run...

    4L60E trouble HELP

    Can you still drive the 4L60E with a broken parking pawl/pin? IF you can drive it after its been broke will it cause further damage to the transmission resulting in losing gears or total failure?

    1993 Short box tonnuea cover - $50

    I have no use for it so I'm getting rid of it. The velcro could use new strips. Other than that it is just a typical cover. $50 obo. I just wanna get a toolbox for the bed that is more useful for me than a cover. text me for details 651-447-0177 Tell me that your from the gmt400 site so i know...

    I got a free truck, but...

    I got my 15 for any work that I need to do. That thing is a monster compared to the 93. But I love the simplicity of the old one. Which is why I am keeping it. I'm gonna run it till the motor or trans is gone. Then do the swap. Still gonna do some mods to make its life easier. But I'll have to...

    I got a free truck, but...

    I just replaced the water pump and belt and charged the battery. runs like a champ and drives just fine. I'm just gonna drive it around for now but eventually get everything for a v8 swap. Reason why I asked and am interested in a swap is because the frame is impeccable and and body isnt in too...

    I got a free truck, but...

    So I got a free 94 C1500 ECSB with the V6. It needs a water pump and a belt. But seeing as it is the only paid off vehicle i've ever owned (don't ask) I wanna keep it. And maybe throw a 350 in it. But that is when I have questions. If I get the proper engine mounts will it just bolt right up...

    Buying a high mileage 5.7..

    Well How bout that. Another Minnesota boy. haha I'm also from Minnesota. Anyway, High milage is okay if he took care of the vehicle and there are documents to prove it. Even if they aren't it depends on who the person is. 177k is low mileage to me. As long as you can take it for a drive and...

    flooding and bogging for a second when accelerating

    first off, its like my name 96 1500 with a 5.7 Now, the problem; When I start it from cold, it idles MAYBE at 1050. I'm talkin 30 degrees and it idles like that. At first I though it was a temp sensor from the research I did. Replaced it. Nothin. Other symptoms; It EATS gas, stumbles/bogs...

    how's this engine/tranny combo?

    Well it sounds alright. And for the push rods if your concerned about them, then get the ones recommended. And for the torque converter. I'd say get a heavier duty one. You'll likely burn it out real fast if you are pushing any more then 300hp. 400 tops.

    Hesitation during acceleration and low rpms at cold startup

    I'll take a look at ignition parts and replace them if I need to. But otherwise I guess I'll dive it like I stole it. Its more fun anyways :)

    Hesitation during acceleration and low rpms at cold startup

    Fuel filter I would say is about 5 months old. Around that time frame anyway. And I havent checked that yet. Those may be a bit older. Say around a few years. I will have to check. Button? I haven't heard that term used before. What is that?

    Hesitation during acceleration and low rpms at cold startup

    :beatdeadhorse5: This topic is all too often heard but I can't find out the problem with my truck and I dont want to go about spending money that I didnt need to. Now the problem: About 4 months ago when I started the truck cold, it would idle around 1500-1600 rpms. And from that time to...

    Wanted Brush Guard for 96 k1500

    I would like to get a frame mounted brush guard or maybe even the schematics to build one. One that I can hit a deer and i can still drive away.

    Worth it to rebuild?

    Both my Malibu and K1500 have over 200K. And I trust these things better then my buddys 08 Chevy 1500. These new things are all plastic. No metal hardly. If anything the Tahoe is just getting broke in. And the Yukon is in its prime. Nothing wrong with a high mileage vehicle. Now if you were...

    Worth it to rebuild?

    I'll just end up keeping my OBS. I just F***ing love the look. Not even the Brand New 2014 can win me over. And I'm lucky. I got the first year Vortec :rockit: I just wish I got the 3rd door instead of the 2door. The frame seems to be in good shape, and it still rides okay. But all in all I...

    Engine idol problems NEED HELP

    Yeah the Mass Airflow Sensor. MAS=MAF lol my bad. And the 4.3l was not an efficient design. Although it should get about 15 to 20 I would imagine.
