    I didn't touch the clutch or anything internal to the trans.

    Odd sound/no clutch engagement after master/slave cylinder replacement

    So I broke the rod on my factory clutch master cylinder and ended up replacing the master and slave with a one piece prebled kit. I also upgraded to a gear reduction starter and the required bolts for it. Put everything back together, clutch pedal feels amazing. Nice and firm. Started truck and...

    95 4.3 k1500 oil filter adapter conversion?

    Awesome, thank you. That's the part number I had saved in my cart. Also have the bolts ready to order as well.

    95 4.3 k1500 oil filter adapter conversion?

    Is this a common swap that you 4.3 owners do to have a straight down positioned filter? I know the v8 guys and gals do it to eliminate the oil cooler and lines but I already don't have them. Mine is leaking like crazy so when I have it off I wanted to convert. Thanks in advance!

    Fuel tank strap bolt options

    I recently dropped the tank in my 95 k1500 and the factory bolts both had to be cut. I bought the Dorman mounting hardware kit but some of the reviews concern me. They end up breaking or just don't last and I'm paranoid that I'll be driving down the road with a tank full of gas trying to fall...

    No start on a 4.3

    Pic for reference, from my 95 4.3.

    No start on a 4.3

    Is the ground connection on the thermostat housing in good shape? There might be another one on one of the driver's side intake manifold bolts as well.

    1995 TBI "Vortec" 4.3 questions

    My truck has an OBD1 port and I have one of those little plug in deals that makes the CEL flash with trouble codes. No weird "OBD 1.5" connector like I've had in a few other 1995 GM vehicles. I did some more research and apparently the 94 and 95 V6 engines got the CPI heads which account for a...

    1995 TBI "Vortec" 4.3 questions

    That engine is currently in my truck. It says VORTEC on the valve covers but is TBI. What is the difference between that engine and the 94 and older ones? Do the 95 350s have the same Vortec designation? Looking to V8 swap in the future and want to know if I need an engine specifically from that...

    Factory radio wiring question.

    Previous owner butchered the radio wiring and even cut the factory connector off. I bought a new one and have almost everything wired up but I have two dark green wires and a green with white stripe wire left. One of the dark green wires I know is for a speaker (right front positive I think...

    Replacing fuel gauge stepper motor. Gauge calibration?

    95 4.3 5 speed. The stepper motor for my fuel gauge is shot so I'm replacing it. I took a picture of where all the needles were before disassembly but I was wondering if there were any tips to get the needles back on to make the gauges as accurate as they can be again? Do they reset to a "home"...

    Door handle/lock linkage replacements for 95+ trucks

    I have manual windows and locks. I looked inside the door and I could see where the previous owner actually cut the rods that come off the latch. A short one and a long one (that goes to the interior handle). I think I have part numbers for the long rods for both sides. 15740529 and 15740530...

    Door handle/lock linkage replacements for 95+ trucks

    I haven't been able to find any gmt400s locally. There's places nearly an hour away but they want like 200 for the entire door and they're not the same color as my truck.

    Door handle/lock linkage replacements for 95+ trucks

    Previous owner removed all the door panels and inner door linkages for some reason, can only open doors from outside. Is there any way to source new inner door parts without replacing the entire door? They are in surprisingly good shape. Local used part yards are no help. Thanks in advance.

    Options to replace fuel lines from tank to filter?

    I'm a fan of repairing or replacing things BEFORE they cause a problem. I've only had this truck for 2 months and I spent most of the time under the hood undoing all the rigging from the previous owner and doing a full tune up, TBI rebuild etc. My gas gauge is pegged full so after replacing the...
