    92-94 454SS Cluster - Mexico/Canada option?

    Looks like the APC faceplate on the gauges, sold everywhere until about after 2006, maybe a year or two later.

    Correct no change. I swapped in the correct temp switch for gauge and it pegs past hot. This is also the 4th cluster to do this, so I know wherever I need to look is in my wiring somewhere.

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    So does anyone have an idea where to look for my problem. It’s electrical for sure, all three gauges oil, water, gas all peg past full/hot/max pressure (in accordance to gauge type). Fuel peg past full indicates short to ground. I’ve added a ground to the cluster grounding it to the bottom of...

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    Still working on wiring fiascos. I went to another salvage yard and grabbed a brake light/ fuel pump harness that goes along the frame rail. I had to cut it out of the wrecked truck, because it had been rear ended so hard it folded the rear quarter of the frame in half, even with a receiver...

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    Still slowly working on this rig, mostly paint at this point. Went to pick n pull and got myself a bumper w/o the ugly trim, it’s now wearing body color. Upon doing all the “lipstick on a pig” work, I’ve discovered every single corner of the fiberglass bed is cracked in some form or fashion...

    1 wire to 3 wire O2 Sensor

    If I had a cat to cook, I’d understand, but it magically disappeared like my ex wife’s faithfulness. It’s the tbi rich smell I’ve smelled from every tbi truck I’ve seen.

    1 wire to 3 wire O2 Sensor

    I replaced the whole exhaust because it did. New y pipe and all. Put the old sensor in, I’m thinking it’s been long gone for quite some time. Truck has over 330k miles.

    1 wire to 3 wire O2 Sensor

    I’m going to do this conversion on my 89 4.3 c1500. The rich smell is excruciating, and it doesn’t do as well as I thought it would mpg wise being a stick shift and two wheel drive. The links on the first page are still valid and reasonably priced, I think $45 and $17 for the sensor and...

    OBS rear axle width

    I can comment on the 4x4 portion of 10 bolt to SF 14 bolt. Same width, same shock spacing. NEED — ubolts (yours probably won’t survive disassembly), ubolt plates or brackets, whatever you call them. Ujoint- called a conversion joint or bast*rd joint if you get an old guy behind the parts...

    Wiper pulse board smokes

    I appreciate the heads up. I did go ahead and grab up the junkyard column and under dash wiring harness to swap into mine, both same year, both Scottsdale trim level. The only difference between the junk truck and mine was two cylinders, junker being a 350, mine a 4.3. Both trucks were CD4...

    Muncie/Getrag transmission any good?

    As long as you don’t put too much power through it (375 is a no no btw), you’ll be fine.

    Scraped off most of the old delaminated tint on back glass. This is in preparation for new tint at some point in the future.

    I did this a couple weeks ago, but the conversion was relatively easy. The tach isn’t accurate, nor is the speedometer, I believe it’s set for 3.42’s and 265/75’s, and I have 3.73’s with 28.5”/29” tires, whatever 235/75 converts to. It reads 5 faster than actual travel speed. Disregard brake...

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    The junkyard had another 89 c1500 with a 5 speed, so I grabbed up everything I could. So far I’ve grabbed up the engine harness, dash harness, column, clutch pedal (cause my son wants to convert his auto to manual). All that because, I’ve been chasing a wiring issue with the wipers, I made a...

    Wiper pulse board smokes

    I’m sure the actual wiper switch is beyond useful. I did find burnt/ melted wires and, a couple jethro rigged jumpers to what I don’t know. There just happened to be another 89 c1500 in the junkyard with a good dash harness and manual column. So I went and grabbed up both parts today.

    Wiper pulse board smokes

    1989 c1500 w/delay wipers. I got the ever so common 88-91 wiper issue. Looked it up, found the 92-up swaps right over. I tried this twice now, and nothing. First one was from a 98 Tahoe at the junkyard, it didn’t do anything. Second one was a brand new unit from rock auto. I ordered it for a...

    The other accomplishment was a new air dam, the keen observer will see what the future holds. I got the new hardware kit with the new air dam $39 all from LMC truck, it was well worth the extra $10. All of my stuff was original and barely came apart.

    The door was misaligned badly, the prev owner had adjusted the striker to compensate, and it would only catch on the first latch. So it rattled going down the road, if it rained hard enough, water leaked in.

    Addiction is bad, or is it?

    Exhaust work today, the muffler was well beyond useful, and it was at the back of the cab. The busted part was the top, therefore expelling fumes into the cab since the truck has a sliding back glass. The job consisted of a new y-pipe, four feet of 3” pipe, 2.5” magnaflow muffler, and 18” turn...

    Yup 1/2 tons 88-93 had the getrag hm290. Starting in late 93 the NV3500 made its appearance, but in 93-94 you could have either one. I had a 94 with a leftover hm290.
