    Built tbi vs ls swap

    If i could go back in time i would ls swap with a whole transmission package and mesh it to my old transfer case. I did the 5.7 tbi upgrades on my 95 k1500 4l60e. It is still slow and won't pull my 3500 lb boat up a mountain very good. I didn't expect it to be fast but expected more results. I...

    88 350 TBI timing

    I'm running an LT1 roller cam with 10:1 cr in my 95 5.7tbi with 93 octane. With the bigger cam i had to set base timing 2 degrees advanced or the engine would die. No detonation so far.

    Air Conditioner service ports

    I am on my 2nd set of AC service port valve cores and they still leak. High and low hoses are less than a year old. Anyone know of any tricks to seal them better? Torque values? Thanks.

    led tail light havoc

    I think it is this one. Works but seems to be fading in sunlight fast. I can see it becoming light pink soon.

    led tail light havoc

    Update: it was coincidental timing. My multifunction switch had bad wires. I replaced it and ignition switch harness. LED lights work fine and look good with my new raptor spray in bedliner.

    led tail light havoc

    Thanks. I did notice most of those circuits are labeled hot in run/start on the schematic. I did inspect the wiring and wiggled the harness but found nothing. Sounds like i may need a new ignition switch.

    led tail light havoc

    Slight difference in tail light circuits from 93 to 94/95. Only one extra bulb added but i don't see how it could toast an ecm. It may have been coincidental timing because i remember seeing my tachometer going nuts before i pulled it in garage to change tail lights.

    led tail light havoc

    Thanks for the tips. Oddly enogh the new led brake lights, running lights, and reverse lights worked. They just caused something to happen. Pcm is still not responding. All interior/exterior lights work. Dash cluster only illuminates seat belt and gear indicator lights. Engine will turn over but...

    led tail light havoc

    Putting old lights back in did not work. May have fried my ecm. I will test that next if possible. Crazy if tail lights can smoke an ecm.

    led tail light havoc

    I just installed led tail lights and they caused my ignition lights to go out and my truck won't start. 95 k1500 5.7. All fuses good. Engine will turn over. Only seatbelt light is coming on in cluster. Any ideas? I'm about to go remove the new lights and see if that works. I did try reconnecting...

    front bumper

    Do i need to worry about my airbag deploying when removing my front bumper? Can i also expect the airbag to function if driving with no front bumper? Getting ready for paint job. 1995 k1500 5.7, thanks.

    Pls help! Acceleration problem!

    My 95 had a similar issue. It was either the tps or map sensor i can't remember. You can troubleshoot the sensors with a multimeter.

    My 95' Sierra

    Nice truck. Go ahead and spray down the frame with oil as well as the rockers if you're going to drive it in saltly environment. The metal frame soaks it up nicely. Mine is from Illinois and it is great corrosion prevention.

    95-00 Gauge Cluster Font

    Not sure about the font. Just wondering why your 95 tachometer reads 6000 rpm? I am not familiar with Esky. Is that a retrofit or another cluster from a later model? I would like a higher tach in my 95 but keep the oem look.

    Obd 1 eprom chip advice

    My setup is a 95 k1500 5.7tbi. I have Dart iron eagle heads, flat top pistons, 202/208 lt1 roller cam, 10:1 cr. Long tube headers with true duals and Borla mufflers. Since modifing the engine the 4l60e now shifts a little early, especially into 4th. It locks the torque converter early also which...

    4l60e shifting

    Anyone know what tells my 4l60e when to shift? I know the pcm does , but what determines when? Mine is a 95 k1500 5.7 tbi. It seems to shift into 4th and overdrive too soon and lugs the engine.
