    Random Misfire

    I bought the truck used in 2019 from a car lot. I'm not sure if the injector assembly is original, though judging by various parts installed, it appears that the previous owner put higher quality parts so it's possible that the assembly may have been changed. I suppose I'll have to dismantle the...

    Random Misfire

    I'll need the check on a good cylinder, but it does appear that cylinders 5, and 7 which are both misfiring reflect about 150 PSI of compression. I have swapped wires and plugs from cylinders with no problems, but I end up getting the same result. Before I take the plunge and buy an injector...

    Random Misfire

    So far I have swapped wires between banks, along with plugs, and the cylinder 5 misfire remains.

    Stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, reverse working great

    My 93 Sierra is still having some issues that need to be addressed. Right now, my concern is the transmission. When you put it in drive, it will not creep forward, and it doesn't appear to be shifting as I have to floor it to get it up to speed. Reverse works great, however as a gentle tap of...

    1993 Sierra C1500 left front / right rear brakes stuck

    That's what I'm figuring. I think the front left is fixed as it locks when the pedal is pressed, and releases when you release the brake pedal. Now, I have to turn my attention to the right rear brake. This would be my first time working with drum brakes on this kind of vehicle.

    1993 Sierra C1500 left front / right rear brakes stuck

    That's what I was figuring. Is there any information on the brake line circuits? Like does one circuit control the front, and the other the rear, or are they diagonal, left front and right rear?

    1993 Sierra C1500 left front / right rear brakes stuck

    I've been working on a 93 Sierra SL V6 1500 regular cab and found that the left front and right rear brakes are stuck. The truck has been sitting for a very long time, and I'm barely getting it running. I haven't checked the right rear wheel, but I have checked the left caliper, and it will...

    Possible Starter issue

    Yes it starts right up now just like nothing happened my friend seems to agree that it's most likely an ignition issue.

    Possible Starter issue

    I've never thought of that. Is that something that has happened with those trucks?

    Possible Starter issue

    Hello I'm new to this forum. I recently purchased a 1998 C1500 5.0 L V8 pickup and experienced something strange when I tried to start it. It started to crank and then the lights went dim and the starter dragged for a few seconds and there was a loud pop from under the hood with a little bit of...
