    Peculiar starting issues

    I don’t know how I hadn’t noticed prior, but the shop replaced the battery terminals from the setup I had put in before with more washers than it seems like it needed. Whole different color terminals. The setup I had with extra long terminals and a ridiculous amount of washers was what had cured...

    Peculiar starting issues

    Howdy all, I’ve got a 1995 K1500 that came from the factory with a 350 L05. Motor was swapped to a 94 L05 that was bored out to a 383. Apparently the “local expert” that had helped my dad with the swap had put the distributor in one tooth off of the correct timing, which has caused dizzy cap &...

    What seat/vehicle to look for?

    My understanding was that the compartment-less ones were another 1995 exclusive perk of the basterd year, and that 96 and up were all upgraded to the version with a compartment

    Constant interior heat

    I took a listen this morning with the engine off and I can hear it whirring from hot to cold and back. Could be the seals The blend door motor works, if I stick my phone under the floor vents at the right angle I can video that blend door turning to all the right positions as I change it with...

    Constant interior heat

    Howdy, 95 K1500 Silverado trim, A/C doesn’t work because of the A/C pump clutch failed. This wouldn’t be so bad but the vents are constantly spitting out hot air out. Even if the HVAC controls are set to OFF+COLD+any combo of defrost/top vents/bottom vents. Nothin comes out when you first...

    Driving in 4Hi

    When I was young(er) and stupid(er) I’d sometimes be running late for my curfew an hour away from home, throw it in 4HI and go up to 99mph on the icy roads all the way home. Transfer case is still doing great (somehow), I always stayed on the road (somehow), but the transmission did end up out...

    Funny 4L60E sound question

    Oh yeah no offense taken, I was just expressing that I also had a bias toward it being a transmission thing and trying to clear up any RPM confusion I may have caused

    Funny 4L60E sound question

    I hardly knew how a transmission worked or what the numbers on the tachometer meant when I was 15, so I guess what I wrote was an interpretation of my memories with my present knowledge filling some in. I don’t know what happened with the RPMs because I didn’t pay attention to that stuff back...

    Funny 4L60E sound question

    It may have had a shift kit installed. I recall my dad saying once, while it was still just the farm truck, that the transmission was “heavy duty”. The transmission was definitely a 4L60E when I pulled it out, which matches the RPO codes said it should be. And a stock 4L60E is not what I would...

    Funny 4L60E sound question

    So when I first started driving my 95 K1500 when I was 15, one of the most fun things to do on-road was go to a particular stop sign in town that went straight onto the highway, so I could accelerate from stopped to highway speeds (and above ) without impeding traffic by stopping in the middle...

    Quick-swap mirrors

    That is entirely possible. A much less cool option though

    Quick-swap mirrors

    Howdy all, I had posted earlier about modifying the stock mirrors to rotate up, becoming tall mirrors for towing. That was pretty much universally shot down, but I came up with an alternative to maintain all the benefits of the stock mirror but also get the benefits of a towing mirror when...
