    Dead on the side of the road!

    And I don't see how battery/alternator explains how the truck suddenly sped up then stalled. Fuel pressure regulator perhaps?

    Dead on the side of the road!

    ICM tested good. I've got good voltage.

    Dead on the side of the road!

    96 C1500 5.7, recent fuel pump, sending unit, regulator, MPFI, distributor, ICM, alternator, battery. Cruising along at 78, suddenly cruise control kicked it up to 85 then engine stalled. Engine not cranking smooth, like it turns a revolution or two then hangs, then repeats. Fuel pressure at...

    96 C1500 ext 5.7 and a travel trailer

    I've got the transmission and oil cooler, big radiator, heavy duty fan clutch. New shocks all the way around. Not looking to haul anything across country, just weekend trips to the lake and stuff.

    96 C1500 ext 5.7 and a travel trailer

    Any way to boost my truck into hauling a 6700lb trailer? I've got the 3.42 gears I believe

    Charging issue has me stumped

    Truck is a 96 C1500 5.7. Initial issue was that the alternator wasn't consistently putting out 14+v. Sometimes when I'd first start the truck my multimeter and gauge would show 14.3v but the interior lights and sometimes the headlights would flicker, then after a few minutes the alternator and...

    ECM-B fuse occasionally blows

    Every so often my ECM-B fuse will blow. Usually happens right when I turn the key on and prevents the fuel pump from starting. I have a new Delco fuel pump and a new relay installed. Recently cleaned all terminals from the alternator and battery. This is on a 96 C1500 5.7. Any ideas?

    Starter choices

    So either starter will work in my rig correct? I was concerned that the different gear tooth counts might mean that there are different flywheel tooth counts...

    Starter choices

    My starter on my 96 1500 5.7 is on its way out so I figured I'd order a new one from an online vendor that I happen to have a discount coupon for. Two versions are available though, a direct drive and a reduction gear model. I see that they also have different tooth counts on the output. Any way...

    Oil type and quantity for 96 non-posi

    I'm on a mission to replace every fluid in my 200k 96 C1500. All that I am lacking is power steering and rear diff. Can anyone tell me what the recommended fluid and capacity is on this? Thanks!

    4L60E swap

    The transmission on my ol 96 1500 2wd just gave up the ghost at a rather inopportune time. I did some reading on here and it would seem that my truck should have a 1 piece bell housing with a 12 pin connector. Friend of a friend has a 4L60E pulled from a 97 Camaro that I can get cheap, but I'm...

    American made Tow mirrors

    I don't need a tow mirror, just looking for something a little larger than stock. I've seen larger mirrors on the express vans, but those won't fit

    American made Tow mirrors

    The factory mirrors are so small on my 96, but the tow mirrors are bigger than I'd like (I don't tow anything more than my 10' trailer). Is there a mirror in the middle somewhere?

    Ignition switch shroud?

    I am missing the cover for the ignition switch on my 96 1500. Trying to turn her over with just the small key sucks but I can't seem to find on online. I know it's removable from the switch itself, maybe I'm just using the wrong term? Anyone have an aftermarket source or maybe an OEM part number?

    Jump seat

    My 96 C1500 ext cab has the 60/40 bench with the fold down console. The latch for the console lid is not working and the hinge is busted. It seems that this particular console lid was only used 2 or 3 years and I've had a hard time finding one in good condition. I see a lot of the newer styles...

    Hazard switch in 96 1500

    My hazard switch went inop, it pushes down about 1/8" but doesn't activate any lamps or even click. I see that GM and Doorman make a drop in module that doesn't require pulling the multi switch but I'm not sure if it is compatible with this truck. Anyone have experience with this?

    Plate light socket?

    So after doing a junkyard rear bumper swap I am in need of plate lights. This bumper takes what seems to be the most common two prong clip in lenses, however I need the bulb sockets as well. I can get the doorman lenses at several parts stores, but I can't seem to find the proper bulb sockets...

    Window stuck halfway down

    That would work if the motor wasn't toast, it's been on it's last leg and the regulator was a little out of whack. Need a manual solution

    Window stuck halfway down

    Power drivers side just took a third, no response from switch. I tried replacing the fuse, no luck. I've got parts on the way, but in the meantime I need to get this window up. What's the best way to attack? Truck is a 96 ex cab. Thanks

    Glue rear bumper cover?

    I scored a really nice rear bumper for my 96 today, only issue is that the last clips on each side of the top rubber are broken. I was considering roughing the surfaces and using some jbweld to secure it, letting it push thru the original holes like a rivet. I'm not sure how it will bond to the...
