    '95 350 TBI cold weather questions?

    If they're available where you're at, I would recommend SMP (Standard Motor Products) sensors, solenoids, and switches. They're as close to OEM as you can get. The place I work is a SMP retailer, and I've never had a SMP part returned because of failure.

    Factory Exhaust Differences by Model

    I know this is an older thread, but if the OP is still wondering, my 1995 C2500 HD has a 350 and it has the twin pipes exiting behind the passenger rear wheel. My truck is 100% stock with 65,000 miles.

    Bonehead move... need help.

    To be honest, I put the truck back together and pulled out of the garage. After that, I went back into the garage and saw the o-ring on the floor. All that worrying for nothing. Haha.

    Temp gauge issue after radiator replacement??

    Ok, I replaced the radiator in my '95 C2500 today. I followed the typical procedure of pouring in antifreeze while the engine is running and letting it run to purge out the air. I did this until the coolant level remained the same for several minutes with no bubbles. While driving it this...

    Bonehead move... need help.

    I just replaced the radiator in my '95 today. The new radiator I put on has adapter bushings for the transmission and oil cooler lines. The transmission cooler needed the adapter bushings but the oil cooler lines do not. When I undid the bushings on the oil cooler side I noticed that the...

    For my area it's actually a little higher than what it's worth, but I bought it from a family member, so it was worth it.

    '95 350 TBI cold weather questions?

    My '95 C2500 doesn't seem to like the sub-zero temperatures we're experiencing in the upper Midwest. It cranks over longer than the '99 K1500 obs I used to have. Plus for the first few minutes after I start it, it smells like raw fuel is coming out the tailpipe. I don't know if this is typical...

    Coolant noise inside cab, need help

    90halfton Oh, ok. I thought I read earlier on that you said removing the coolant temp sensor would bleed the air out of the intake manifold.

    Coolant noise inside cab, need help

    I just find it very odd (and coincidental) that it started making this noise after I replaced the radiator. It never did it before.

    Coolant noise inside cab, need help

    Ok, thanks guys! Tomorrow is the first time I'll be able to work on it since I last wrote on here. 90halfton, let me make sure I fully understand this. I need to drain the antifreeze down to just below the thermostat, right? Then I remove the temp sensor to let the air out, right? I'm planning...
