    Burping the coolant system - not getting hot enough

    I just did a twenty mile round trip test drive. Before servicing the coolant system, when hill climbing, I could get near 205. Now it only gets to 175, which seems good to me. I think I am good with it as is. If I notice any strange engine activity over the next couple weeks I may replace...

    Burping the coolant system - not getting hot enough

    I just serviced my cooling system in my 1994 K1500. I'm currently getting the air out of the system, the only problem is my truck fan is too effective. Now that it took 2.5 gallons of coolant the engine won't rise above 165 at idle and thus won't actuate the 195 thermostat. I believe the...

    JB8 Front Disc Brakes

    Hi all, I have a new-to-me 93 GMC K3500 dually dump truck that I posted about yesterday and was working on gathering info on it based on the VIN. Between some folks on here helping me + my COMPNINE finally working was able to see it had a 12K GVWR and was a cab and chassis truck. One of the...

    Do I have a K3500HD or just a random beefier truck?

    Those are great looking trucks. I'll have to get a pic of mine once I'm home

    Do I have a K3500HD or just a random beefier truck?

    The door stickers are worn off from use and faded so you can't read it there. The VIN on the windshield isn't tampered with, it's just covered in junk like mouse crap, and mud from thirty years of use around the Appalachian mountains. Either way, I'm not too worried about it. The guy I bought...

    Sounds like a solid front axle and disc brakes all around are probably going to be the easiest way to find those then. I'll have to keep a lookout so I can snatch one if one ever come up for sale. That's a nice truck!

    That was the first thing I looked for to find GVWR, but the door tags are both worn off so they're unreadable on the truck. The vin on the windshield is also unreadable. I told the seller this and said that I'm going to have to price it as if it's between 9k or 10k GVWR and he understood...

    Do I have a K3500HD or just a random beefier truck?

    Awesome, so mine is likely a 12k GVWR. Any tips for the future so I can distinguish between the 10k GVWR 3500, 12k GVWR 3500 and 15k GVWR 3500HD when buying them? I suppose the 12k was a middle option between the basic 9k-10k 3500s and the 15k 3500HDs. I haven't checked the curb weight on a...

    Do I have a K3500HD or just a random beefier truck?

    I'll try to find the VIN info from CompNine for my 1994 C3500. They messed up my access so I can't run VINs until they open tomorrow and I give them a call. I'll happily be wrong as I'd prefer a 4500 to a 3500 haha. I just checked the RPO codes in the dash, but they're unreadable in the...

    Hi all, Forum said if I didn't know where to stick a topic to put it here. Feel free to move wherever it should go. I just bought another GMT400 (1993 GMC Sierra K3500) truck for our farm, which brings me up to 3 now. I have a 94 Chevy C3500 dually with a pickup truck bed that has an NV3500...
