    A/C help!

    I'm replacing the ac system in my 88 k2500. I'm having trouble finding the correct seals for the hose to compressor. The ones that came with it are too thin and one port is cut deeper than the original. Anyone have a part number for correct seals? I bought individual ones from napa but they...

    New engine installed

    I'll try this again. Every time I try to add pictures, it deletes everything I've written! I've had my new gm crate #12691671 installed for over a month now. I bought it from pace performance for $2910 with a $45 lift fee. Cheapest I found on the net. I looked into local shops here in Phoenix to...

    Replacement engine choices.

    The time has come to replace the engine in my 88 truck. Ive been searching around here in AZ and the rebuilders have good and bad reviews. Ive also looked into online sellers and they all seem to spec their engines at the 8600 gvw ratings for a 1 size fits all deal. Meaning the lower 190 hp...

    A/C controls

    Sup guys. On my 88 , the ac selections are either blow thru the dash or floor vents. Can't select at same time, the arrows roll completely in either direction. Do yours do the same?

    Backfire out the exhaust

    Sup guys. My 88 k2500 with 350 always backfires when I rev it up in neutral. Does it a little when accelerating hard and letting off the gas. But if I rev it up high it won't do it. I found a small exhaust leak upstream (soot buildup). Welded it, no change. It has no cat, free flowing 3in to 2.5...

    Fuel level help

    I'm having a problem knowing how much fuel I actually have in my tank. I ran out of gas with the gauge showing 1/4 tank. So I filled up 5 gal and 2 gal cans and it made the gauge show completely empty. Drove it to the store and put 25 bucks more in for a total of 16 gallons. Now it shows 1/4...

    Still sloppy!

    Wasup guys. I finally decided to replace my front end parts. I had about a good 4 inches of play before it'll move the wheels. I replaced all steering parts including the jeep steering mod. Yet I still have lots of play. I bought an ac delco professional steering gear, to try to avoid any...

    New ultralite travel trailer with our old trucks"

    Wasup guys, whats your thoughts on the newer ultralite travel trailers. I'm thinking of using my 88 k2500 with the 60 and 3.73’s to pull a 29 footer that weighs 4500 dry. Going to Parker, AZ from Phoenix area for the Parker 425 off road race. Think she’ll handle it? It hasn't towed anything in...

    Adding tach

    Wasup guys. I've been wanting to add a tach to my 88 k2500. I've read other website info of people putting gauges from newer trucks in with no problem. Do non tach trucks already have the wiring necessary behind the gauge? Or is new wires needed.

    More smoke after new seals

    Hey guys, like the title says. I have much more smoke out of my 88 350 tbi. Replaced all the seals last weekend and thought it was fine. Now it smokes like I'm having a bbq! I'm thinking maybe the intake ones came loose off the guide and are riding on the valve? Won't be able to get back in it...

    Valve seals

    Hey guys, I'm getting ready to change the valve seals on my 88 k2500 350. I've read and watched tutorials on the process. My question is, can it be done without an air compressor or the rope trick? I'm thinking of bringing cylinder to tdc to hold valves and clamping the serp belt on both sides...
