    New "Econo" paint job and mild bodywork on 96 'Burb

    I am very pleased with the results. I took it to a local "Econo" paint place because the factory paint was heavily oxidized all over and peeling on the hood and roof. They smoothed out a few dings, sanded down to bare metal 80% of the truck, primered, sprayed it with Emerald Green Metallic...

    96 K1500 Burb seems to not be getting fuel. Cranks but wont start. Need advice please

    So yesterday I had been driving the Suburban all day (5.7 Vortec) and made a stop at a store in the late afternoon. Came out to leave and it would not start. Battery is strong and it's cranks, but seemed to not be getting fuel. So I had a friend take me home and I drove back in my other vehicle...

    96 Suburban K1500

    So I've owned the Suburban for a few weeks now and I'm really liking it so far. This is my 2nd GMT-400, I previously owned a mint 94 C1500 ecsb. So far I've put a new set of Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar 245/75r17 tires all the way around (wheels are from a newer model police package Tahoe). I...

    Where does this vacuum line go ??

    New to me 96 'Burb 1500 5.7 vortec. I'm in the process of blocking off the rear ac lines. I pulled out the air filter housing to access them and found this vacuum operated device that is plumbed into the Heater hoses. The small vacuum line coming off of the valve is extremely dry rotted and I...

    96 Suburban rough idle

    I have a new to me 96 Suburban K1500 with 5.7L. It has a rough idle. And it will occasionally die if the steering wheel is at full lock, in low speed parking lot type manuevers. I have an Innova 5412 code reader. It has no active codes related to engine (only air bag related codes). What is my...

    Buying another GMT-400

    Hello all. I was on this forum for a couple of years. I had an extremely clean 94 C1500 ECSB that I sold 1 year ago. And I miss it tremendously and regret selling it. So, tomorrow I'm buying a 96 K1500 'Burb. It's in ok shape, but needs a little work. Things that I know it needs: tie rods and...

    94 C1500 bucket seat ez-entry diagram ?

    I have a 94 C1500 extended cab. In 94, there was no 3rd door option, so the passenger bucket seat is equipped with an ez-entry mechanism, which allows the seat to fold forward then slide all the way forward to the dash when you use the entry handle on the seat back. My seat has stopped sliding...

    Tail lights delaminating

    I have a '94 C1500 Silverado ECSB in Summit white. I am the 2nd owner. The truck was repainted about 4 years ago in the original white. I have noticed that both of my tail lights are starting to delaminate. I assume they are the originals that came on the truck, as the truck is very original...

    (!)(P)BRAKE light staying on all the time.

    I have a '94 C1500 extended cab/short bed with 5.7L auto. My parking brake light is illuminated any time the truck is on. It just started doing this a couple of days ago. The p-brake works great and it fully disengages when I pull the release handle. I used to own a '04 Ford Crown Vic that would...
