    Got the seat working. Also swapped over the beat up front bumper with a better one from the Burb.

    94 2500 Build

    I forgot just how easy an early 400 truck is to work on; I can even climb into the bay to work on any part of the engine, and it's not really that much of a climb (unlike my 2000 F250 4x4, on all counts). Though there are challenges owning a truck this old with who knows how many hack job...

    94 2500 Build

    A few updates, raves, rants and assorted ideas. You gotta love parts trucks! I figured there has to be thousands of dollars in ready supply parts just waiting to be harvested or sold/traded. Example: at work yesterday my window decides to take a dump halfway, and there was no way I was leaving...

    Potential transmission issue

    Forgot to mention this; if the truck starts to stall, and you put it into N a few seconds too late, the truck will still idle down and stall. Starts back up every time. I thought replacing the IAC would have cured it, and it seemed to until later this morning after driving for a while.

    Potential transmission issue

    Truck cuts out with AC blowing and in gear; turn off the air or shift into N and the truck idles fine. When cold everything is fine; once hot, accelerating in first gear sounds like when you first drive the truck in very cold conditions (higher revs without much movement) but will shift through...

    Bought another kit. Put the backup and oring in after the injectors, which caused leaks. Had to use flammable spray, but she sputtered then fired right up; still wants to stall with AC running in gear when stopped, but not as immediately as before. Greasing front end this morning and taking her...

    Truck stalled when AC running and truck idiling; IAC motor was damaged and broke off inside throttle body. Pulled it to remove broken threads, and decided to refresh the whole thing. This is a case of leave well enough alone. Put everything back together now truck won't start. Tested injectors...

    94 2500 Build

    Purchased a 94 GMC 1500 last night for cheap money; about as expected for a 370,000 mile truck. Has a few mechanical issues (simple fixes) and the bed is ugly, but outside is otherwise fine. Inside not too bad either. Last 94 I had my dad bought brand new and I bought it from him in 2001, kept...

    99 C2500 BURB

    First projects were replacing a broken rear door check with a salvage piece for a couple of bucks, the tackling the worn steering and a DIY alignment. Tie rods are next.

    99 C2500 BURB

    Just picked her up about 2 weeks ago. L31, 4L80, 9.5 SF 4.10, 195K. I always wanted a 400 era Burb after driving new ones back in 97 and 98. Like most good things, I had to wait this long to afford one. Ugly, but runs decently, and the price was too good to pass. Issues so far: - sloppy...
