    1995 GMC K1500 - The Rebel

    Truck got a lot of work done to it in the past couple days. Replaced intake manifold gaskets over the weekend. Did a tune up, with new plugs,wires,cap, and rotor, and an oil change as well. Here's an in progress shot. The intake looks so much better all cleaned up. Washed the...

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Noise turned out to be a loose rocker arm. Put on a new nut and the ticking went away :rockit: Still has a high idle, around 1050-1100 in park, and occasional hard starts. But I'm pretty sure that's because of a vacuum leak around a couple of the intake bolts. :banghead: Hopefully I'll have...

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    I hope that didn't happen, but I guess it is a possibility. If that is the case it'll probably go to a shop, not what I want to do. But that's a little out of my knowledge and ability to do right now.

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Thanks for the tip on the lifters, will definitely try it tomorrow. All of the pulleys are good, just checked them all when I replaced the water pump and power steering pump. Will triple check the plug & wires, never hurts right. The wires, plugs, cap, and rotor are all brand new AC Delco...

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Eh, that doesn't look too good. How would I go about checking my lifters? It would make sense that something happened to one of the lifters if the oil change made it go away right? But then how come it didn't go away the second time?

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Cap is tight, will check for exhaust leaks, to me it does not sound like an exhaust leak, but that doesn't mean that's not what it is. I have changed the oil twice thinking that coolant got in the oil. First time the tick went away for a little while then came back. Second time the tick did not...

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Torqued all bolts to 35 lbs using this sequence. http://www.someotherplace.com/info/FSM6A4_11AM.JPG No I did not adjust the lifters, did not know that was necessary.

    Ticking/Knocking After Intake Manifold Gaskets

    Replaced my intake manifold gaskets over the weekend, changed the oil, oil pressure switch, spark plugs, wires, rotor and cap afterwards. Started it up, ran fine, little bit of a high idle. Took it on a test drive, started ticking about a mile down the road and got worse the longer I drove it...

    Occasional Hard Starts and High Idle

    1995 K1500 TBI 5.7 Been having this problem ever since I got the truck. Occasionally the truck is very difficult to start, takes about 10-15 seconds at least, and it makes a slight knocking noise during these episodes as well. Truck idles at about 1100-1200 in park, and 800-900 in gear. Truck...

    1995 GMC K1500 - The Rebel

    Did a lot of work to the truck over the weekend. Replaced upper and lower radiator hoses. Replaced the water pump, hardest part was getting all of the old gasket off the block. Added a 11 blade fan too. And I finally replaced the leaking power steering hose, and since it was already tore apart...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm gonna go with the ebay ones, since it looks like the chrome reflective is coming off the tyc lights.

    1995 GMC K1500 - The Rebel

    At the advice of others, I have decided to create a build thread for my truck. I got the truck in June of 2013. I had been searching for a new truck for quite awhile, and this was the exact truck I wanted. ECSB, 4x4, with a 5.7. It was even in my favorite color, dark blue. Here is a pic of...

    Grey Interior paint match

    In my experience the paint lmc sells, is usually the closest in color that you can find. It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth it. I believe it's called colorbond, not sure though. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
