    Weird starting problem

    I had a similar thing on my 90 C1500. After I cleaned and tightened all the grounds and power connections under the hood, never had an issue since.

    GMC S15 Jimmy digital dash

    A long time ago I had a S15 with digital gauge cluster in it. I don't even remember what year it was. I really liked the look and loved the digital speedometer over the analog style. I'm thinking out loud here and don't even know if that gauge cluster would is even available and at what...

    Truck beds that are similar

    I had some photos of the measurements but have lost them. I never had the chance to pull the plastic bed liner out on my truck to confirm if they were the same or not. Ken

    Might just give up......

    On the LS swap on my 90 C1500. It seems the more I read the more confused I become. I've been researching this for well over a year. All I read is all the issues everybody is having. Wiring to make this or that work. Engine codes with no fix in sight. Can't make the cruise, gas gauge and...

    To stripe or not to stripe

    To me it helps break up all that red. It's OK in my opinion

    Steering gearbox options from other models

    Well, lots of drama for basically nothing. After getting the A-arms, and tie rods install and the front end aligned, the steering is nice and tight. I was presently surprised! I will need to reseal the gear box at some point as the input shaft seal is leaking. Just damp at this point but...

    Coil Spring Compressor Tool

    Well...... My latest venture replacing the A-arms on my 90 c1500 did not fair to well just using a floor jack. I had to go rent a spring compressor from my local Advance Auto. Well because I'm such a 'good customer' they didn't charge me the rental fee. hahaha They had the hook style and it...

    who are the go to steering/suspension parts now?

    Can't remember if I posted in this thread or not..... I ordered a Moog problem solver kit from Rock Auto. It had the A-arms and tie rods. Got some other items also to go along with the kit also. I have only driven the truck a half mike so far so no clue if the Moog parts will stand the test...

    Steering gearbox options from other models

    Caman96, I tried to quote your post but the damn adds cover the insert quote button and I can't scroll to reveal the button. That is good information and worth investigating. While $500 is a lot of cash to me it is still much better than some of the $800+ options and should like they are...

    Steering gearbox options from other models

    Thanks! I think I found it. F body guts in the 400 case. After I get my truck aligned I'll make a final determination on how it steers. Ken

    Steering gearbox options from other models

    In the process of replacing the front A-arms, tie rods and rag joint, I discovered the steering gearbox is leaking from the steering input shaft. I also suspect it is a bit on the loose side. With 240K miles on the clock I was thinking just finding a lower mile box from something like a Camaro...

    Single-DIN Stereo Recommendation?

    I've been wanting to replace the factory radio but hated the look of the extended faceplate sticking out a couple inches. Good to know there are these shallow units now!!! It does look MUCH better. The stereos that fit the factory location are stupid expensive so they are out. What is the...

    1990 C1500 front shocks

    Thanks for the two or three posts that helped. To the others, you knew exactly what I meant so need to get sassy about it. I've been calling them roll bars since about 1970 and I'm not about to change.

    1990 C1500 front shocks

    So... In the process of changing out all the control arms with new I discovered the KYB shocks I have are due to head to the scrap bin. They came on the truck when I bought it and look fairly new but the rubber parts say otherwise. What are your guys and gals using for shocks these days? I...

    Door Hinge Pins & Bushings, Cunningham Machine vs. New Greaseable GM?

    A little late to the party.... Concerning lube on hinges. Back when I thought I wanted to work in a stealership I worked for a Chevy dealer. The lube man had been there for 20+ years when I started back in 1973. The service manager told me you could always spot the cars he serviced by the oil...
