    PLEASE help me find mounts for my 4.3L k1500

    I am confused by this thread. Did OP actually get those mounts from NAPA to work? I ordered the passenger side one and the holes did not line up properly on my 97 K1500 4.3. I happen to also have a 97 C1500 available to me and it is definitely a different set up for the orientation and...

    Cross country trip. Reman Goodwrench engine 1k ago. P0300 and other things to go over

    So update. Checked it today and I have P0300 P0155 and P0420. I seem to remember that an 02 sensor was unplugged when I replaced the engine and I plugged it back in. Anyone have any idea if they might be related?

    Cross country trip. Reman Goodwrench engine 1k ago. P0300 and other things to go over

    I have a 97 K1500. The most insane idea that I have ever had putting an engine in a truck by myself is meeting another crazy idea. Just looking for advice for what I should check before I hit the road. Has a rebuilt tranny. When I did the engine I put in the following new parts in...

    No crank, no start unless...

    Thanks guys. There was a random ground that had the connector broken off in the harness up by the crank position sensor and it seems to have resolved the problem.

    No crank, no start unless...

    No, like if you touch the metal on the top of the fuse with that test light where the other end is hooked onto a ground, it will turn over if the ignition is on. Fuses all look good. I didn’t touch anything inside of the truck other than what needed to be disconnect it everything worked before...

    No crank, no start unless...

    So I put a new 4.3 in my 97 K1500. Same engine it came with. When I turn the ignition things power on in the cab for the most part (fan won’t turn on but AC and recirc light up when pressed, wipers don’t work) but have no crank. I took a test light and clipped it to a ground and it will turn...

    Replaced engine No crank (Battery, starter good)

    That’s weird. I didn’t touch anything inside of the cab.

    Thanks didn’t think of that.

    Replaced engine No crank (Battery, starter good)

    Would the main power cable be the positive that goes over the fan shroud and to fuse box? If so I tested that and it’s working. I have a ground from the passenger side frame to the firewall and also from the same spot on the frame to the passenger side head. I don’t really know a ton about...

    Replaced engine No crank (Battery, starter good)

    At my wits end here. I replaced the engine in my truck and must have missed hooking something back up. Electronics in truck work except for wipers, horn and HVAC. When you turn the key, you hear the fuel pump but nothing from the starter. Positive to starter has power via a test light. Don’t...

    New Engine install Electrical issues

    Whatever the sound is when you turn the key, but not all of the way to engage the starter. Is there a good resource to get an idea of where all of the grounds are supposed to be? Either I don’t know how to read it or my Haynes manual is lacking on it. I Think I have a ground going from the...

    New Engine install Electrical issues

    So I have a 97 K1500 and removed the old engine and put a stock long block in and probably missed something along the way. Trying to get it started for the first time. Have some components that aren’t powering up. Makes the “wurring” sound when you first turn the key, whatever that is. What...

    4.3 vortec close to towing capacity.

    With oil coolers mine had one on the old radiator. Lines were leaking like a sieve and everything got milkshaked up. Am actually radiator shopping right now as I don't want to take any chances with the old one. Is there a type that would be best for me to look at with what I will be doing in mind?
