    $800 97 K1500

    Well, this truck confuses me further. The amount of fluid I initially took out when I dropped the pan the first time was considerably more than what I took out this time, even with the correct level in it. But I got that stupid seal out and the new one in place, not sure if the original one was...

    Fluid level question

    This is why I love this forum. I'll be saving that manual for future use. Thank you very much.

    Fluid level question

    Alright, this is going to be an absolutely silly, stupid questions BUT when checking fluid level truck should be on, idling, and in Neutral/park correct? Reason I ask is I just did a pan and filter change. When I check the trans level with truck off, I am sitting pretty much at the hot mark...

    Well this is a big bummer. Finally got my steering knuckle back on and everything buttoned up. Pulled halfway out but partially ran over a box so I went to throw it in reverse so I could grab the box to discover I have a very weak reverse. Only thing I can think of is when I did my pan gasket...

    Tackled my oil pan gasket as well as removing the leaky oil cooler lines and swapping out the oil filter adapter to the Melling MFA350 adapter. So far no leaks on that. I finally got around to tackling the steering knuckle job. I destroyed the upper and lower ball joints in the process (they...

    Helluva deal on a 1994 ECSB near San Antonio

    So, anyone got a couch I can crash on if I go get this? Because I know my wife will probably kill me if I come home with another truck lol.

    Got back under it tonight and buttoned up a few odds and ends. So far no leaks from the pan gasket, rear main, or trans pump seal! *knocks on wood* I did however manage to coat the passenger side of the truck in trans fluid or otherwise known rust preventative. Tried the method of putting an...

    That was a thought I had. I pulled the calipers off and had my wife push the pedal and then put some pressure on the brake pad with my hands to see if they retracted and both calipers were functioning properly. I think the issue was it had ZERO grease on the slide pins so they wouldnt move back...

    Not too much progress lately. Got my water pump replaced and my wife found a video about bleeding the ABS module at a check valve on the side which helped a little. Brakes still have a ton of travel but now grab really good if I stomp on them in an emergency situation. Which I finally felt was...

    14 Bolt FF rear axle rarity

    I am looking at two 8 lug trucks and would be looking for an 8 lug axle. Unsure of the ratio as I didn't look that closely as I was in a time crunch and was just there for a few odd parts. But if they were worth the messing around in a junkyard to yank them I was going to go back for them this...

    14 Bolt FF rear axle rarity

    How rare are these 14 bolt FF rear axles? I'm just curious as I plan to swap my body onto a 2500/3500 frame at some point and I have heard that these 14 Bolt FF axles are the bees knees for a GMT400 and a junkyard near me has two trucks with them in there. If they are reasonably difficult to...

    So still no update on the ABS module as I'm having trouble finding a mechanic with a scanner that has the ability to initiate the bleed and the nearest dirt road I can find is over an hour away. However one of the mechanics who thought his scanner could do it re-bled my brakes and I learned that...

    1997 Chevy K1500 master cylinder question

    So no update on ABS module yet because no mechanic around me has a scanner that is capable of doing it except one and they want $300 to perform the procedure. However when I had a mechanic come out who thought his scanner could, he re-bled my brakes and I learned I've apparently been bleeding...
