    1997 K1500 suburban transmission options

    Hi everyone--I read the sticky about transmission compatibility, and I'd like to ask for input about what to do, what it'll cost me, and what the problems might be. Apologies in advance for a long post and thank you if you're reading it. Background: I love my suburban, I take it everywhere (40+...

    1997 K1500 Z71 stock Z height

    97 5.7 low oil pressure fix?

    Howdy y'all, I'm having oil pressure problems, just wanted to see if there's anything else to do before I go and replace the oil pump. No reason to believe the sending unit is reading incorrectly. It tracks how it's supposed to, doesn't bounce around. It's just after the engine warms up, and...

    Need Opinions - Transmission Issue

    Hi All. Experiencing some trans issues. I drive a 97 Z71 with what I believe to be the original transmission. During my normal daily driving 10 minutes to work under 55mph I have no issues really. Say I have to run errands around town with a lot of stop and go, highway on and off ramps...

    1997 K1500 P1351 - no start

    I have a 1997 K1500 4x4 with no start and code P1351 (Ignition control circuit high voltage) I left the truck to sit for about a week while on vacation. When I returned, the truck would crank but would not start. Occasionally I would get a single cylinder to fire, and sometimes after it stopped...

    Yet another air conditioning thread!

    With the temperatures hitting mid to upper 90s almost daily now, I threw in the towel and decided to start poking around with my 97 Suburbans (7.4L, no rear A/C) air conditioning system. It hasn't worked at all in the 4 years that I've owned it. To start, I tested the clutch on the compressor...

    Hello from NY 97 K2500 6.5

    Hi my name is Ivan and this is my first time joining a forum, I currently have a 1997 GMC K2500 with the 6.5. It’s kind of beat up with 330k miles but it was a good price and runs pretty well. I needed a truck to drive while I’m restoring my 86 c10. But with “good deals” comes headache issues...

    Hey everyone, Looking for some help with a crank, no start. My brother and I spent the better part of the day yesterday trying to figure this out. We replaced the ignition coil, ignition control module, check for spark, checked the fuel pump, fuel pump fuse, and also spent about an hour...

    97 305 vortec needs a little more power

    I have a low mileage 97 305 Vortec. It is a low mileage original engine and I intend to keep it in the truck however, it could use a little more power. I have read the argument about swapping to a 350 or an LS a million times and that is not what I am trying to do, I don’t necessarily want a...

    1997 K2500 454 Rough Idle, Loud Afterfire

    I have a '97 K2500 with the 454. Simply put, it doesn't idle right. When I start it up cold, it revs up to 2000 RPM, slowly settles to idle, and then either abruptly dies or practically dies before roaring right back up and going through it again. In order to keep it on I hold the gas slightly...

    A/C issues - 97 Sub K2500 454

    I have a '97 Suburban K2500 with a 454. The A/C isn't blowing cold so added a can of R134A to recharge it. The compressor engaged intermittently but not fully. I added a second can and I'm getting similar results, but the compressor is engaging longer. The second can had UV Dye. I ran a black...
