    1993 K2500 GMC SLE 7.4 TBI 4x4 auto max size/group battery

    Happy Thanksgiving gents. What is the max size/group battery that is a drop in for a 1993 K2500 GMC SLE 7.4 TBI 4x4 auto using stock side terminals?

    Battery Testers.

    The battery in my truck was bulging at the ends. I fully charged the battery and then left the high beams on for 1 hour. I then turned them off for an hour and then tried to start my truck. It slowly turned over 2 or 3 times and that was that. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out...

    Separating a two piece drives shaft K2500 ECLB

    I have my driveshaft pulled from the rear end. I pushed it forward to drop it about 3/4" with no problem. I dropped it and have only been able to pull it back a bit over an inch. What's holding it together? It looks like there's a rubber seal cap with a grease zerk in it. The cap just spins...

    Shimming the thermal 4 x 4 actuator for 4 x 4 on demand.

    Whelp, my thermal actuator puked out on me during our first snow storm yesterday. Is it possible to just pull it out and attach a shim to the end of it to lock the front end together? I see the kit to do that is just a threaded pin that replaces the thermal actuator itself. But it's as...

    1993 K2500 7.4L TBI not getting warm.

    I put my second 195F thermostat it today. Last one was a bit over a year ago. I only get 165F or so according to the gauge when it's colder and I'm not working it. And I don't get much heat from the HVAC. I run cardboard in the radiator and I can build some heat in both the engine and cab...

    4L80E doesn't shift into OD when cold.

    My 1993 K2500 with 7.4l and 4L80E doesn't want to shift into OD when it's colder out. In the summer it's rarely an issue but as soon as the weather starts getting cold it doesn't want to shift into OD. I usually have to drive it a few miles and then turn it off. I usually just restart it...

    Dana 60 Super?

    I went to pick up what I thought was a deal too good to pass up, a 14bolt FF out of a 2003 3500 Express Van. It turns out when I got there it's a Dana 60. So I grab it up anyway thinking it will bolt up easy enough in my 1993 K2500, or I could resell it. Now the more I read up on it, it a...

    '93 K2500 ECLB drivetrain vibration.

    Ever since I've had my truck it would shudder under hard acceleration from a dead stop. It won't do it if you don't put it to the rugs and it never got any worse so I just chalked it up to being the pinion angle maybe being out a bit. I tried putting a rubber shim on top of the hanger because...

    TBI question.

    When not running, does a '93 454 TBI motor return fuel to the tank as long as the key is on or does it time out after a while? Where does the return line dump the fuel in the tank when it returns? At the top or the bottom? The reason I'm asking, is I think I have some phase separation going...

    Front Harmonic Balancer Ring

    Well, when it rains it pours for me it seems. The ring slipped off of the harmonic balancer and is spinning around between the hub it was on and the main pulley. It sounded exactly like the fan was hitting something and it only makes sound when it's idling or coming down from higher RPM. It...

    HELP!!!, need some alternator questions answered.

    I'm stranded here at work today with a bad alternator. Nobody has an alternator for a '93 K2500 w/454 at the local boneyards. Will one for a small block TBI work or not? If it's just a matter of re-clocking the terminals to the other side of the case can it be done in the parking lot easily...

    Cruise control no likey cold weather.

    Does anyone have a trick to get the cruise control to work when it's cold out? It seems like anytime the weather gets below 10F or so the cruise won't engage. I assume the servo is weak and the cold weather prevents it from working. Lube the cable or what?

    88-94 dash cover options

    Has anyone used anything other than a carpet dash cover? Overall my dash is in decent shape but there are cracks on the top flat surface around the defrost vent. I'd like to just repair the cracks but realize that I'd probably be chasing them for the rest of the time I owned the vehicle and I...

    '93 GMC grill question.

    Did the grill ever come from the factory with this circled bar between the headlights and blinkers chromed? Or are the ones I see chromed all aftermarket?

    I bought an out of state '93 GMC K2500 SLE ECLB 4x4 454 w/4L80E a while back. It's red with black two tone. The interior is a lovely shade of dark maroon like you'd find on the lounge seats at a Portuguese Whorehouse. It's all original and rust free. It's ugly but with a bit of work will...
