350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
Towed the same fifth wheel this weekend and what a difference! New plugs & a bottle of injector cleaner were the only two items I knocked off the list and it towed the trailer great, even would shift into 3rd and still tug up the modest inclines. Appreciate all the suggestions! Sent from my...- 95k2500

Working on the basics right now, new plugs in, going to change the fuel filter tomorrow and it has a new K&N air filter already. Running injector cleaner in the fuel right now too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 95k2500

My truck hesitates from time to time, the most concerning is when it's under hard acceleration, especially past 2500 rpm when you are trying to climb a hill or pull a load up an incline. Trying to sort it out and want to rule out items one at a time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 95k2500

Coolant Temperature Sensor
Is there a way to tell if these are legitimately failed? I understand they can cause all sorts of issues with running rich, etc, but I would want to confirm the part is bad before shelling out $30 for another. While my truck was running, I popped off the two wire plug and it definitely bogged...- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
Changed them all out and gapped at .035 ... today going to tackle the fuel filter. I've got fuel injector cleaner in the tank right now too. Took it for a good run last night and it definitely has a hesitation under hard throttle, once it's up around 2,500-3,000 rpm it seems to stutter when you...- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
These are the old plugs, finally got a chance to change them. Top 4 are from the driver's side, bottom 4 are from the passenger side. Look like pretty normal wear, a couple are a bit dirtier... Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
275,000 KM on the truck... no cat (was removed by the previous owner)... but I will start digging around on the fuel system and see if I can uncover anything unusual. I appreciate the tips... it's a solid truck and shouldn't really have an issue pulling our fifth wheel, it's definitely within...- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
The campground we pulled it out of on Sunday had a very steep incline and it seemed to pull it up that fine... course that was at low speed and 1st gear. No OD for highway, D only. I've pulled many trailers in my life. So what would be the issue with the tranny if it downshifts and up shifts...- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
It runs well... though even unloaded I noticed it does struggle a bit on the hills, I live in a pretty hilly town with some steep slopes and it definitely doesn't 'cruise' up those hills with ease, though I never thought of that much before. Trailer should be fine, it's under 7,000 lb loaded...- 95k2500

350 TBI - No Power When Towing?
We had our 26 1/2' fifth wheel out this weekend and while the tow itself was fairly short in distance (say 10 miles) with a couple of gradual inclines, the truck really struggled with the load going uphill on the highway, much more than it ever has before. The truck would downshift from 3rd to...- 95k2500

Brake Control Harness?
Okay, I will do a little more exploring. It does have a heavy duty receiver and 7-pin connector under the rear bumper, but I would say it's after market. Can't see any signs of a brake controller being installed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Okay sounds good. I am sure there are threads about wiring in a controller so I will look for those via search. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Brake Control Harness?
Hi there, Is this the end of a brake control harness? Trying to figure out if the truck is already wired up and just needs a controller hooked up. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Official tow capacity?
Does anyone know what the official tow capacity rating for my truck is? 1995 Chevy K2500 ECLB 5.7 auto 4.10 gears. Seems to be conflicting info online, I'd figure 8,000 lb but curious as to what the official number is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Muffler Recommendations? 5.7L TBI, single, cat removed.
Happy New Year all! Hope 2014 is good to you! I know this has probably been asked and answered before... but here we go... Next task on my list is to replace the muffler & tail pipe on my 95 K2500 5.7L TBI. Exhaust is in good condition from the engine to the muffler, it's the muffler... -

ABS Light + Brake Light + Soft Pedal
Just thought I would post an update. This ended up being a result of a bad rear brake line, it was leaking behind the fuel tank. Unfortunately, the lines are so corroded, I am replacing all the lines and then it's a full on rear brake package as the drums, shoes and wheel cylinders are in poor...- 95k2500

ABS Light + Brake Light + Soft Pedal
It does move a bit, it's definitely catching on the shoes in behind, it tugs forward a bit further on the bottom than the top, so it's free from the hub itself. I'll give it a go tomorrow for sure.- 95k2500

ABS Light + Brake Light + Soft Pedal
Mine is just the standard 8 lug rear end, not the big free floating style. I'm going to go back out and give it another try and see if I can get them off. You would think that with the kind of fluid loss that has occurred over time there would be some visible staining. Both the drums are dry...- 95k2500

Any tips on removing the drums? I can't get them off and I can't figure out how to loosen the tension on the shoes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 95k2500

ABS Light + Brake Light + Soft Pedal
The ABS light has been coming on and staying on for a long time, but the brakes themselves have always been fine. Solid pedal. No pulsations. Stops great. When I went to drive it yesterday that's when I noticed the brake light was on and the pedal was soft. Opened the hood and it's missing...- 95k2500

Seem to have a significant problem with my brakes. ABS light has been on for awhile, but now the front smaller brake reservoir is basically empty, pedal is soft and I can't seem to locate the leak so far. I am trying to remove the rear drums to take a look inside and check for a leaky wheel...- 95k2500
