    Clutch question 1991 1500

    I did use the Jeep master cylinder, it's a 13/16" bore. The pressure plate I have is a new Sachs BBC1909 diaphragm style with a Novak-Adapt slave cylinder. I believe its a 3/4" bore.

    Guys, what are my clutch options for a 1991 1500 4x4? I swapped all this into a Jeep and the clutch pedal forces are very high, even for the hydraulic clutch.

    97 K3500 tachometer inop questions

    Guys, I have a 97 K3500 that I converted to diesel. It was a 350 gas automatic and I switched it to diesel with a manual transmission. I pulled the auto dash and installed a 97 diesel manual dash so it wouldn't have the "prndl" and it would say "diesel fuel only", I know its a little ocd, but...

    Getting tach signal from the alternator

    Guys, How hard is it to get the tach signal from the alternator on a gas 97 K3500? The tach signal normally comes from the ignition system,, I have savaged this truck by installing a 6v53 Detroit Diesel,, my tach is now busted and was thinking the alternator fix might be easier. Thoughts...

    97 K3500 power steering question

    Its a remanned pump, and I just transferred the valve from the old pump. I figured it would at least pump a little so I could fill everything and get the fluid right before starting the engine. Tomorrow, I'll jack it up and turn the steering side-to-side to see if that helps. The valve is not...

    97 K3500 power steering question

    Guys, I'm trying to prime my steering/hydroboost system by spinning the pump with a drill. The pump is not pumping at all and there is what looks like a solenoid valve on the output from the pump. What does that do, and does it need to be activated for the system to pump? Thanks!

    97 K3500 automatic to manual transmission

    The fat column is the 95+ version. The earlier one with the thin column had the little lever I was talking about. I'd never driven a 95+ with a manual, so I don't know how it works. I could just use my auto column, but in a panic situation the key could be turned to LOCK with the vehicle still...

    97 K3500 automatic to manual transmission

    Guys, I'm converting my 97 K3500 from an automatic to a manual transmission and I have a question about how the interlock for the ignition works. When you tried to turn the key to LOCK there used to be a little lever that you'd depress to be able to do this. This function kept you from turning...
