2000 Chevy K2500 Electric Fan Conversion

Hello, Currently going through replacing my heater core and radiator hoses. I noticed on LT1swap.com that the ‘98-‘00 computer has an output for electric fan. If I have HP Tuners, can I just enable the computer to control a fan? Is there a factory GMT400 fan I can install?

K2500 Suspension/steering Torque Specs

Does anyone have any easy source for me to locate all the torque spec numbers? I’m rebuilding the whole front suspension and steering on my ‘00 K2500.

The GMT400 brake setup was not able to be returned or exchanged when I found out I had the newer spindles. Also, the "newer" brakes that the previous owner put on the truck were rusty and need complete rebuild. For the GMT800 setup, it's not a simple bolt-on. In order to install the...

Jon's 2000 K2500 CCSB

Hey guys, I don’t think I was clear enough. I bought GMT400 brakes in May and when I went in to work on the truck, I found the GMT800 brakes afterwards. My problem was I didn’t find out during the 30 day return policy so I was stuck with the new GMT400 parts. I basically switched the truck...

Yea, I hear you. These trucks command a premium. I’m pretty much fixing/saving a plow truck to become a normal driver again.

Thought I would share my new project I picked up early this year. As I'm sure most of us know, '99-'00 were the only two years you could buy a crew-cab short-bed with the '88-'98 body style. This one is a K2500 with the Vortec 5.7, 4l80E, 8 lug wheels, etc. Untitled by Jonathon Randolph...

1995 K2500 Utility Truck Daily Driver

Forgot to update my thread here. Last year, I installed a brand new gas tank, sending unit lines, filter and Vortec 454 fuel pump. Basically a brand new fuel system. I also cut off the hideous looking ladder rack. Although the paint is chipped, scratched or rust showing, I decided to buff...

Gen V 454 with Edelbrock Intake

I have a '95 Chevy K2500 HD that has a TBI 454. I noticed in the instructions that the Edelbrock 3764 454 TBI intake is specifically for Gen IV TBI engines. From the little information I've found, I gather then main difference is the EGR setup and plumbing on the coolant passages. Has...

Haha, no juice for me. That’s a bottle of Argon for welding. Would be cool though. I have a ‘79 Trans Am in the garage. I’ve had it for 10 years but the project has had many setbacks. The house and now this truck have taken over on that subject. The engine is an iron 4.8 truck engine. I’m...

Got the truck back on Thursday and man has it been useful. Fun to drive the Big Block might I add. It’s not fast but you can definitely feel the low RPM torque. Picked up plywood, 2x4’s, trim, and a shop light over this weekend to install into my attic. Yesterday we finished installing an...

Plan is to fix it up nice to have this be my occasional tow rig for my Trans Am project, do occasional house for myself and help friends/family when needed. I have a good friend of mine opening a automotive repair shop this month so I’m sure I’m going to be helping there soon and getting this...

Haha, we’ll see about the engine Ryan. I can imagine the one you have kicks ass! Building up the BBC TBI engine with some aluminum heads and intake also sounds fun. I haven’t really seen anyone do that. We shall see. For now, doing a tuneup and making sure it’s driveable is most important.

Should hopefully be getting this hog back tomorrow. Took it to my local Goodyear shop for an alignment. We ended up deciding on having them install new upper control arms and replace the lower ball joints before doing an alignment. They noticed the driver side upper/lower joints were bad...

Just did the first oil change today. Went with Synthetic because I wasn’t sure what has been in this thing before. Oil pressure is showing straight up on the gauge (slightly better than before). Slight smoking from reving the engine has gone away as well. How about this for an air filter...

Hummer H2 Wheels and Tire Size Recommendation

Alright guys, before and after on 265/70-17. The BFG makes it look really aggressive for being the same size tire as before. On all of my cars, I'm partial to keeping tread width in line with the mounting width on wheels so I think the 8.5" tread sits perfect on the 8.5" wheel. The only...

Hummer H2 Wheels and Tire Size Recommendation

Just bought a '95 K2500 utility truck this weekend and found a set of 8 lug 17" H2 wheels for really cheap. What size tires are you guys running with these wheels? I'm aiming for a bolt-on tire size without lifting or modifications. My friend from another car forum is using 285/70-17 on his...
