    Brain questions that make my brain hurt

    Well it's more of a PCM question than it is transmission.

    Brain questions that make my brain hurt

    It's also come to my attention that '95 PCM for manual trucks use a different connector, and that apparently the EGR and knock sensors differ from auto to manual. The knock sensor I get, not so much the EGR.... I'm not necessarily planning a swap, but knowing these 4L60e's typically short life...

    Brain questions that make my brain hurt

    Hey guys, I did a nv4500 swap a few years back on my '93 k1500. Everything went smooth and when it came to electrical, I wired reverse lights and tied up the 4L60 harness and never had a problem. Still don't somehow...... Today I bought a '95 with the 4L60e and it's got 139333 miles on it. I...

    1998 C2500

    Do you have any knowledge to share about those pistons? I'm rebuilding one with the same part # and can't find any info on them. In fact, everything I search comes up with mercruiser boat motors.

    Accessory headache

    I had a new key made, which I understand wouldn't fix anything in that case. But the key doesn't appear to worn or brassy......I assume acc should be towards the steering wheel past the lock position?

    Check engine light

    Well I'm not totally sure how to check the code the light doesn't flash it usually comes on 5 to 10 minutes after it comes up to temperature and goes away once it's shut off only to come on again after some runtime it seems to run pretty good but it would be nice not to have the burning orange...

    Accessory headache

    Hey guys. My '93 sierra doesn't seem to have a keyed acc function. Lock, dead spot with no power, on, and start. I tried and cannot turn the key back beyond lock. Anyone have any experience with this? There's a clear "detent" feeling spot between lock and on. I'm assuming a bad switch on the...

My check engine light is on and at first I didn't care bc it's a 93, doesn't matter for nys inspection. But now it's driving me nuts.........I can't help but notice that the obd connector...

    Cargo lights

    So I got a '93 sierra I'm almost done restoring. As I work around the truck, my old yellowed cargo light is screaming for replacement...I REALLY wanna go with an led unit as a whole but everything I find is with the third brake light, which I don't have..... anybody ever find or install one...

    Throttle response

    So I already posted a thread but I realized that I put it up in the exhaust thread and I wanted to make sure everyone sees it. It's not an exhaust issue, per say, but I feel my exhaust may be causing it. I have a '93 k1500 sierra with a 5.7 that I converted to an nv4500 from a 4L60E. I replaced...
