    GMT400 power sliding rear window.

    Was wondering if anyone here has found a source for a power sliding rear window for GMT400 trucks? Mine is a '93 C2500 and due to some right shoulder problems, I'd like to install one of these. Thanks for any info.

    That's what happened to me. At 18. Went in the Marines and they took full advantage of it.

    Power steering pump: flush or replace?

    I had 3 parts store PS pumps that were junk. 2 from Autozone, one from NAPA. All the same problem. The check valve at the back of the pump inside the line fitting was machined wrong and jammed open. This was a '93 C2500 6.5 diesel. The front seal was leaking on the original pump and I...

    93 C2500 shifting hard

    My '93 C2500 started the hard shifting and it was a bad ignition switch. Bad switch had worn contacts and the green crud in it.

    LMC part quality

    I bought the plastic black cover for the rear bumper on my '93 from LMC. It was, far and away, the worst made piece of crap I have ever seen. Just total junk. Not saying all their stuff is like that, but that was my experience.

    New Dash Now Available 88-94

    The clicking is coming from the recirculation door actuator. In my opinion, impossible to replace without pulling the dash out. The other two actuators have position feedback to the HVAC controller and run to their commanded position and stop. The recirc. door actuator runs either full open...

    Suspension overhaul

    If you want to install polyurethane suspension bushings, I'd stay away from PST (Performance Suspension Technology). I replaced all of my susp. bushing with poly bushings on my '93 C2500 from them. Truck rode like I was going down the road on the rims after. Replaced the cab to frame poly...

    A/C Help...

    "Also, I don't think it's relevant but worth mentioning I'm fairly certain the heater core is beginning to fail due to the gurgling sounds coming from the glovebox area, and the truck unexplainably overheating a few months back after a short road trip." (From original posters first entry.) Just...

    Cab mounts

    In my opinion, anyone that uses polyurethane suspension bushings will wish they hadn't. I replaced every susp. bushing in my ''93 C2500 with poly bushings from PST, Performance Suspension Technology. Rode afterwards like I was going down the road on my rims. Took the poly cab mounts out and...

    Removing blend door actuator on 1994 k1500 sbrc

    The reason that's the actuator that always fails is that it has no position feedback. The other two have a position sensor internally and send it back to the HVAC control head. They stop at the commanded position. The recirc. door actuator runs to either open or closed and power is held to...

    Tailgate Band

    Repair Manuals

    You'll be glad you went with the factory manuals. I've had an alldatadiy account for years and use it to help my sons with their trucks, but have the factory manual for my '93. Alldatadiy misses quite a bit of information the factory manual has, and some of the wiring diagrams and...

    cruise module

    I was able to find a replacement CC module for my '93 6.5 C2500, if this is the type of module you have. I think it was a Dorman, but can't find the paperwork on it now. My bad module would not maintain an acceleration for more than a couple seconds and after taking the cover off of it, found...

    Linex Bedliner

    LineX is a great company. They sprayed in the bedliner on my '93 C2500 19 yrs. ago. A piece of it chipped off about 2 in. diameter when I was loading a way to heavy generator into the bed. Took it to the closest LineX place and they completely removed all the old bedliner and sprayed in a new...

    6.5 pros and cons

    My '93 C2500 is a 6.5, last year of mech. injection. That's the major reason it's been so reliable. 2nd engine and the first one wasn't worn out at about 200 k miles. Got a good deal on a year 2000 mil. surplus AMG made new engine. With the piston oil squirters and the later and stronger...

    Instrument cluster question

    https://www.taninautoelectronix.com/ That link is to a source for the air core servos. I believe mostly used, but tested, units. My son's 2000 K3500 needs one for the fuel gauge and I haven't ordered/replaced it yet due to health problems, so I_cannot_vouch for the company. Hope this helps.

    how hard is it to swap engines.

    "For fukk sakes, DO NOT use one of those crappy "engine levelers", they're entirely un-needed, and eat up about a foot of lifting capacity." Have to disagree with that one. But I always pull the trans. with the engine since I usually replace them both. Get a decent hoist with enough vertical...

    ABS module autobleed.

    Forgot to mention oldblue: I had seen that video of the Autel scanner previously. Contacted the company with the trucks VIN and it won't do the autobleed on a 2000 3500.

    ABS module autobleed.

    Thanks to all of you for your time and help. 454cid, yes the line was rusted through in that exact location. There's a service bulletin for it from GM, but I don't have the number handy. I'll try the skid on a dirt road method if it doesn't purge. df2x4, delta_p, Those are probably fair...

    ABS module autobleed.

    Had to replace a rusted through rear brake line on my son's 2000 K3500, single rear wheels pickup. He didn't need the truck for about a year and was out of the country, but returning now and I need to get the brakes working. Never did bleed them. I'm sure I'll have air in the ABS module and...

    How do I rebuild the front end? (order of operation?)

    I did the suspension on my '93 C2500 a while back. All of it, including the rear spring bushings and the cab to frame mounts. Just my .02, but I would_not_use any polyurethane bushings anywhere. My truck rode so stiffly that I had to finally remove the cab to frame poly bushings and put in...

    Heater Control module

    My truck's a '93 and that's the same HVAC cont. module I have. I'm on my 2nd one and found it on ebay. If you find anybody that can rebuild them or has any info on how to do it, I'd sure like to know.

    20 cars GM made that made “no sense”

    The guy that wrote this is the type that could cross thread a mayonnaise jar. We used '90's Astro vans as flight line maintenace vehicles at USAir for many years. _Nothing_gets abused like a flight line maintenance vehicle. They were solid as a rock and dead reliable.
