95 K2500 454/NV4500 slow restoration
I drove out to Denver a few months ago to pickup this trailer. Truck left me stranded after the new cat clogged up. $1000 tow later and I'm back on the road. Turns out the EGR valve was bad so I replaced that too. Recent work includes new starter, tail light circuit board, turn signal...- 2blue4you

o2 sensor unplugged
I looked at my Chilton That's what I did. Took me a solid 2 hours to find the connector. It is small purple wire, of which there are two solid purple coming off of ECM. They both went behind the distributor and then down beside the block on the driver side. Poked around a bit end eventually...- 2blue4you

o2 sensor unplugged
I have a 95 chevy k2500 454. Just had a new exhaust put in(everything new from y pipe back), and they mentioned that my o2 sensor at the y pipe is unplugged. I can see the plug dangling but can't find the male end of the connector. I've been searching the forums and it seems like I am looking...- 2blue4you

The Stupid Engine Questions Thread
Is this normal? 1400 mile Jasper 454 idling at 11 psi warm confirmed with mechanical gauge. Mechanic says it's normal, and most guys say 10 psi/1000 rpm is fine. Original motor would idle at 40 psi warm so this seems concerning to me. Check gauges light is coming on. What do you guys think...- 2blue4you

Yeah I ended up ordering the GM fluid. Added 2 quarts and it all leaked out within a couple days, so it's getting resealed next weekend. Thanks for info on t-case.- 2blue4you

I tested the tranny the way you described and it passed the test. I added some fluid, but I spilled most of it, so I have to order more. I added maybe half a quart and it's still low. I thought I had ordered the oem fluid but it was actually amsoil 75w-90 manual transmission fluid, which is an...- 2blue4you

Thanks for info guys, I will look for those actuator motors and check the tranny like you said. This week I had Les Schwab do the front end. Both upper control arms were replaced. $703.35 for that plus the alignment. I also ordered some transmission fluid GM #12346190 and a fluid transfer pump...- 2blue4you

Now at 176700 miles. So far I've driven it a little over 3k miles, including a trip out to Rexburg Idaho for memorial day weekend, and an overnight trip to Bend. It did great on the highway with Idaho's 80 mph limits, but I burned over $600 worth of fuel in a weekend. Keep forgetting to turn off...- 2blue4you

95 K2500 454/NV4500 slow restoration
Today was a busy day. The truck wouldn't start in the morning, so I did some googling and made an educated guess that my ignition control module was bad. Picked one up at O'Rielly's and installed that, and it fired right up. This is pretty much the first time I've ever worked on a car so that...- 2blue4you

Hey thanks for the info and welcome! My dad picked up a hood release latch, tailgate latch, and some relays and fuses at the local pick 'n pull. Dropped truck off for inspection so when I hear back from the shop I'll decide what I want them to do. I drove some more in the rain with some new...- 2blue4you

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, although I've been an occasional lurker for several years now. I'm starting this thread because I plan on keeping this truck forever and want to document my progress in the hope I can read through this years from now. I'm 21 and this is the first vehicle I have...- 2blue4you
