    350 to 454

    Does anyone know of any headers that will fit a 1992 k1500 after I swap out the 350 for a Gen VI 454? Preferably long tubes, but after searching for 2 straight weeks, I don't think that's even an option anymore. I really don't want block huggers or shorty's, but at this point, i'm willing to...

    Short circuit

    I've got a 1992 K1500 with an electrical problem. My courtesy lights and aftermarket tach are flickering, so i've been going through the wiring. I noticed that my ground on the courtesy light was showing .3v with nothing on and the doors closed, but when I opened the door, it showed 12v. I've...

    #8 cylinder noise

    I've been trying to figure out what this tapping noise is for awhile now. I finally pulled the plug wire off of the distributor, and it was the very 1st plug I pulled that made it stop. So, #8 was tapping, so I readjusted the valve, and it got quiet...for a couple of minutes. It just came back...

    Broken valve cover bolt

    After adjusting my #8 cylinder rocker arms to muffle a tapping sound, I managed to snap 1 of my valve cover bolts. It was apparently ready to go, because it didn't take much pressure at all for it to break. Do they make extractors this small? Or does anyone have any suggestions on what to do...

    Oil coming from intake manifold bolts

    So, my 92 k1500 has been running pretty good since the oil pump replacement...maybe a little too good. I drove it earlier and noticed on the passenger side of the intake in front of the egr, a little bit of oil that came up from the intake bolts. It's never done this before, and i've already had...

    Oil pump replacement

    I've got ANOTHER project goin. I've got no leaks and i'm only getting about 25 psi when I start my '92 k1500 4x4 extended cab, and when it warms up it tanks to around 4 psi at idle, and wont go above 22 when driving. So i'm putting in a new oil pump (Melling M-55) and gonna check the bearings...

    700r4 won't shift out of 1st when hot

    I've got a rebuilt very low mileage 700r4 in a 92 k1500 4x4. I can drive this thing all day long with no problems at normal low/mid rpms. But if I go to about 3/4 throttle and put it under a load for a few seconds and then come to a stop, it won't shift out of 1st no matter what I do. When it...

    ECT sensors

    Can anyone tell me why I would have 2 ECT sensors on my 1992 k1500? I never really paid that much attention until today when I noticed it was taking forever for the truck to warm up, but it dawned on me that there is 1 on the intake with the 2 prong pigtail, and 1 single wire sensor between the...

    Cylinder Compression

    I just finished my compression tests on all of my cylinders in a 1992 K1500 4x4, and the #1 is noticeably lower than all of the rest. It's about 10 psi lower than the average, but it's 25 psi lower than the #2 cylinder which is 190 psi. I also just had to replace the even side head gasket...

    Intake manifold gasket

    What is the best intake manifold gasket kit to use on an Edelbrock 3704 Performer? I already did this once and used the fel-pro MS93317 and it didn't have the front or rear gasket strips, and ended up leaking on the back side even with rtv. I've got the 10088113 aluminum heads on it and really...

    Setting the distributor

    I just finished my head gasket replacement and got everything back together on my 92 K1500 with an '87 C4 motor swap. 2° past is as close to tdc as I can get the engine because there's no crank nut to turn, and i'm not about to attempt to manually turn the engine by the harmonic balancer bolt. I...

    Blower motor

    I just noticed my blower sounds like it's always on even when it's not supposed to be. My fan won't actually kick on and blow unless I switch it on high, but it sounds like there's always something running in that general area even when it's off, and the heater/ac lights are weirdly selective...

    Tach installation

    Can anyone tell me how to install this 4-wire lead into my ignition coil on a 5.7L 350? I think i've got a pretty good idea, but I need to make sure before I go splicing into ignition wires. It's on a 92 k1500

    5.7L sbc timing with mild cam

    What would be a good "middle of the road" or jumpoff point to aim for on a 92 k1500 4x4 timing? I've been toying with it for the past week or so and trying the distributor at different points and it's sitting at 0 with my timing light at 14°, but i'm not convinced it's living up to it's...

    Oil cooler inlet/outlet

    I just want to make sure I get this right since the seller is in no hurry to answer my questions now that they have my money. On this new radiator, i'm trying to figure out which are the inlet and outlet ports for the oil cooler. I had to put in a new radiator because the transmission cooler...

    Distributor question

    When I first got my 1992 k1500 back in January, the 1st thing I did was seafoam it and change the plugs and wires. I didn't notice it until we had everything plugged up in the right order, but we had to rotate all of the boots over 1 in order to get it to start up and run again. Why would the...

    10 bolt rear diff oil and gasket change

    I'm about to change the oil and gasket to fix a leak on my 1992 Chevy k1500 extended cab 4x4. Since the motor was swapped, it has me wondering if maybe the genius tweakers I bought it from didn't do the same with the rear end, considering it has absolutely nothing left of the rear brake system...

    Dropping a 4x4 oil pan

    I'm attempting to change my oil pan gasket on a 4x4 92 Chevy k1500 and haven't been able to find anything about getting the oil pan past the differential. I've already got it drained and unbolted, the starter and flywheel dust cover off. My question is, does the entire differential have to come...

    Oil filter adapter

    Anybody have a suggestion or know what oil filter adapter that I need to get these plugs angled differently? I would like to actually be able to get my oil cooler lines on here at some point since I just replaced the transmission lines and radiator? There's not nearly enough clearance to squeeze...

    No speedometer

    In my 92 4x4 k1500 my speedometer goes straight to 90 mph after I let off the brake, and it will constantly jump while i'm driving. The rpm guage also rarely has a slight jump to it, and the gas guage is off by about ½ a tank. But I hove NO REAR BRAKE SYSTEM in this truck, period...NONE. I've...

    Should I flush my MD8 700r4?

    I removed the pan on my 4x4 92 K1500 last night and there were what seemed to me like an abnormal amount of metal shavings in the pan. But my biggest concern was that the geniuses that rebuilt it in the 1st place used a rubber magnet in the pan and the fluid looked like tomato juice. Should I...

    Intercooler install

    I'm looking to install a Hayden 1677 transmission cooler, in-system. Is there any way I can do this without cutting into the lines? Because i'm buying brand new transmission lines as well, and I definitely am not trying to cut into brand new lines. Are there any kind of adapters I could use...

    4l60e transmission lines

    Does anyone know where I can get the RIGHT transmission cooler lines for my 1992 Chevrolet k1500 Silverado 4x4 Silverado? Apparently every parts store and parts website seems to think an oil cooler line and a transmission line are the same thing and it's really starting to piss me off.

    Brake light issues

    The brake lights on my 92 Chevy K1500 4x4 have stopped working twice now. I replaced all of the fuses in the panel and checked all of the taillight wiring on the aftermarket led assembly. Replaced the brake switch and it fixed the problem initially, then noticed my right blinker was flashing...
