    1995 C1500 tranny

    Ummm.... the '88 trans is a TH700-R4... your '95 has a 4L60E... The 700 CAN be made to work in your 95-but it's going to take fabrication skill and a lot of experience to set it up correctly, and then your C/E light, or SES light is ALWAYS going to be on because the computer will be looking for...

    Time to replace my compressor

    Let us know how your project goes. I have had ZERO luck getting ANY of the after-market compressors from O'Reillys to last more than a year. They ALL seem to start leaking at the case halves where the two sections of the compressor body are pressed together. I always use dye when charging my...

    What Long Tube Headers For LS Swapped '94 Silverado?

    I was referred to Polymer Dynamics by my local machine shop. Spoke to them yesterday and was quoted $415 for ceramic coating. Going to drop them off on Monday if I can get free from work. Coating gonna run MORE than the headers. There should be more/better options for these trucks. It's not like...

    What Long Tube Headers For LS Swapped '94 Silverado?

    I got the headers in yesterday. Opened them right away. First impressions; 1. The flange where the bolts hold it to the head is a little on the thin side. 2. The headers are already missing about 30% of the paint. The shipping box wiped it all off in every spot that there was contact. This is...

    What Long Tube Headers For LS Swapped '94 Silverado?

    EVERY post I've read about the Speedway engineering headers is that they DO NOT FIT... With that said, I even called Speedway Engineering directly-just to see if they had something that would bolt in-and they told me "WE HAVE NO LONG TUBE HEADERS THAT WILL FIT YOUR TRUCK" directly.... Please...

    What Long Tube Headers For LS Swapped '94 Silverado?

    Like the title says... I'm interested in WHICH long tube headers fit my 2 wheel drive, LS swapped, 1994 Silverado, Step-side, single cab, short bed? I ordered the Schoenfeld 1301LS headers from Summit yesterday... but my experience has always been that even after doing all my research, then...

    1995 4l60e

    I'd guess the shop that put the used fluid in did it ON PURPOSE in the hopes it would destroy the trans and they would get a rebuild job out of it. You should post that in a public review of that business so other people know what type of people they are dealing with. Who would put used fluid...

    1995 4l60e

    It is possible to do what you want WITHOUT touching the PCM/Computer... It will require installing a 1995 internal wiring harness into the 1994 trans, and running BOTH a 3-2 control solenoid that is 10-15 ohms, and also a TCC PWM solenoid that is also 10-15 ohms that is really just a dummy...

    Cheaper Solution To Coil Over Shocks

    I picked up a new set of coil over adjustment sleeves and the project is moving forward. i had to stop working on the coil overs to install my rear sway bar-see other post on that.. But now I'm back to finishing up the coil overs, and getting them installed on the truck.

    2001+ Rear Sway Bar Install

    Okay.. here are 2 quick snaps.. this is with the truck sitting on the ground. As you can see the end links are close to the leaf springs-but they don't touch or scrub.. the leaf springs are about to go away so it won't matter anyway. Surprisingly the end links were exactly the correct length and...

    2001+ Rear Sway Bar Install

    This is a single cab, step side, 1994 Silverado. Already LS swapped. Is there an easy way to upload photos from my phone? Or, do I have to download them to my laptop, then post them on a hosting site, and then link them here? Let me do some research..

    2001+ Rear Sway Bar Install

    I got a rear sway bar from a 2002 Tahoe and just got the chance to install it yesterday. WOW! What a difference in handling the rear bar makes! I had to make frame side mounts for the end links, and also I took a 3" muffler clamp, discarded the U-bolts and just welded the perch part to my axle...

    Cheaper Solution To Coil Over Shocks

    Technova-those do the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to do. Those would INCREASE ride height (if you already had coil springs). I do sense the sarcasm though. I'm DROPPING the rear of the truck, using off the shelf parts to build coil overs, and designing and installing my own 3 link system. I've...

    Fast Ratio Steering Box For OBS-GMT 400-Here's How I Did It Cheap

    Correct. There is no point in the full range of steering that it loses power assist, or gets harder than it should. That's interesting because I have measured the 2.5GPM fitting that I received from Turn One at .134" using a pin gauge set. Further, the factory steel fitting I removed also...

    Fast Ratio Steering Box For OBS-GMT 400-Here's How I Did It Cheap

    Great questions.. In talking to Turn One i explained the over-assist I was experiencing just off center of straight ahead and they recommended that I reduce the VOLUME by going to a lower GPM fitting. Turn One does not recommend adding the shims to reduce pressure. When sitting with the wheels...
