    Aftermarket Vortec 5.7 air-gap manifold and coolant hoses

    Good evening all, I am approaching a point (1994 full size Blazer) where I'm working on the cooling system. I've swapped the TBI motor to a rebuilt 5.7 Vortec. I have installed the below intake manifold, and a 1998 water pump. I have determined that port "B" on the water pump is the return port...

    89 c1500 5.7L massive oil leak once started

    Take a look at your oil pressure sender, behind the distributor. Most senders whether OEM or aftermarket don't last too long on our vehicles. Since space is tight, you'll have to remove the distributor and then the sender. If any part of the sender is loose, that's where your oil leak is coming...

    Cruise control connector

    OK. I managed to scour the interwebs and found something that mentions the multi-function switch with cruise. Knowing there at least a few threads on this forum asking where that connector plugs into, I decided to share a picture for everyone in the community. I hope this post brings peace and...

    Cruise control connector

    It has cruse control, but it is inoperative. I see the orange connector, with what looks like a split male terminal, one has a notch in the end, like the photo. I can't find for the life of me where this connects to. Schematics are of no help that I could find online. The factory service manual...

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    Yes, I know, a billet TC. It only makes 200hp, and that was in 1994. I may upgrade to a more built 5.7L and I thought that would be a decent upgrade. Wasn't a lot more money. He's the trans expert, and although I am not sure how he plumbed the cooler, it's in series with the radiator tank...

    Cruise control connector

    No cruise control when my rig was purchased, and the orange connector shown in the picture was disconnected. I had to replace the steering column, and I have the same connector coming from the multifunction switch. If anyone can point out where this orange connector with black wire goes, I would...

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    To follow up, I had the transmission rebuilt by a local individual. Lots of upgraded parts. Some springs were broken in an accumulator, which explained the slam shifts. Quick fix with a replacement TCC solenoid fixed the TCC shudder. I opted for upgraded everything and pin-less accumulator...

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    Thank you for that insight. I'm guessing the same thing with how this transmission operates. If the final fluid swap and additive plus filter do nothing, it is getting rebuilt with a new torque converter. Not sure if anyone has seen the Precision Transmission videos on YouTube, but that guy...

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    I appreciate everyone's help in this matter. Today I replaced the 180 degree thermostat with a 195 degree t-stat and new gasket. Added one bottle of Dura-Lube synthetic ATF protectant (red 10 oz. bottle) and took the vehicle for a 25 mile drive. The shudder issue is still present, and...

    I will bring the vehicle to a local alignment shop for their free suspension check. Will report back later with findings.

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    Found at least two cracks. See attached. I managed to swap magnets and shafts to form a functioning distributor with a GM module. Set timing and runs good. I have not had the chance to check for shudder. What is a good recommendation for a new distributor?

    1994 full size Blazer 4L60-e issues

    Today I was able to do some initial checking. First I checked for codes and none were stored. I checked my TPS voltage, and it was at 0.39 volts at closed throttle, engine off, key on, and it went to 4.55 volts at WOT. Progression of voltage was linear, so I will call the TPS good. I also...
