    Adding an external oil cooler to a 97 3500

    my 97 k3500 does not have an oil cooler of any kind. It has an aftermarket aluminum radiator with internal and factory external trans cooler. The truck also has the ac pusher fan. Being its my tow rig I think it is fairly important to have an oil cooler. How/where could I easily add a cooler?

    94 C3500 LS Swap questions

    Looking to ls swap my 94 C3500 NV4500 work truck since the 350 threw a rod. The truck does not have AC so that is one less thing to worry about. So I found a guy a couple hrs away that builds harnesses from scratch for $500. He also does the swaps his self if I was to go that route...

    97 454 possible injector issues

    I have a 97 k3500 154k miles. New engine and reman trans at 150k. I have all of the codes addressed and none set. The truck is gut less and hard starting when warm which leads me to believe there is either and injector or spark issue. Future plans are 0411 (blackbear tune), long tubes, and...

    97 K3500 T Case Grinds

    I think the chain is either loose or broken. The tcase doesn't leak or anything and it has been opened before based on the globs of rtv around the seam. I know it should have a BW case but what model is it, I've been told it could be 4401 or 4470. The truck has a floor shift Tcase, not sire if...

    1994 C3500 350 Spun rod bearing

    94 C3500 350 cutting out

    I bought this truck at 110k, went through the TB, vacuum set up, I did a full distributor, plug wires, and plugs. Only to find out my new fuel pump was toast, put in a new vortec pump and the beast was alive. Now at 120k miles the truck falls on its face at any more throttle than about 50%...

    Truck has 110k miles. So far I've replaced the distributor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, t-stat, ect sensor, and fixed some chewed up wires going to the injectors. It's gone from barely ran to runs speed limit but still isn't right. So here goes the list of issues: Takes pushing the gas pedal...

    LS 6.0 Swap questions

    I (like many here) like the GMT 400 chassis, styling, ride, well pretty much everything. I have a friend that works at the local GM Dealer and comes up w/ odd deals. He found a 6.0l out of a 06 k2500 w/ only 60k miles, guy was in for a new tranny and just got all new crate engine and tranny...

    96-98 Vortec Injector question

    94 C2500 SAS

    Looking VERY hard at a 94 C2500 454. My only issue is the 2wd part. I have 2 spare 4x4 4l80's and atleast one working tcase (ds drop 241). I have access to a 79ford Hp 44 8 lug (own the wrecked truck), 80's ford 60 (own the wrecked truck), and front and rear 05 dodge axles (friend own the...

    Found a truck I like, Opinions welcome

    This will be used as a DD, light tow rig, and all around service truck. 4x4 would be nice but the other truck I am looking at is a 3500HD so its not 4x4 but can tow a lot heavier. I either need to lighten the load of my 95 1500 (current DD truck loaded w/ tools) or 93 3500 (service/tow rig)...
