transmission not up shifting

I have a K3500 7.4L and the other day it started to not shift out of 2nd and then 1st. The speedometer started going 'wack'. So I'm hoping it's something easy like the speed sensors. I will just order both. I'm assuming it's a 4L80-E. I haven't looked yet.

Slight surging between 65 & 70 mph - overdrive shifting in and out?

I found a broken vacuum line going to the sensor (IAC?) next to the thermostat housing. I think that fixed it.

Slight surging between 65 & 70 mph - overdrive shifting in and out?

I get up to 65mph on the highway and try to slightly accelerate and between 65 & 70 mph I feel the truck surging like it's going in and out of overdrive. The transmission fluid was recently changed and it did the same thing before. It seems to be fine when it gets over 70mph. I can get it up to...

TBI to carb swap - will I get better mileage?

I have a 1994 Chevy K3500 w/454 and 4.56 gear ratio 4WD I want to use for towing and hauling tools in utility bed. Would I get more/less power and/or more/less gas mileage with a carb swap? I get about 10mpg highway now. Would it be worth the trouble?

Transfer case stupid question thread

It makes a grinding noise when I put it in Drive and 4H. I haven't checked it with the key on and the engine off in Drive and 4H yet.

Transfer case stupid question thread

I recently just purchased this truck (94 K3500 4wd) and put it up on 4 jack stands so all 4 tires cleared the floor. With the #7 fuse out, I can put the floor shifter into 4H and just the back tires spin. So I put the fuse back in and shift it from 2H to 4H and I hear a gosh-awful grinding...

C3500 w/ Ramsey Winch

I just bought a 1994 C3500 that looks like it came from the factory/dealer with a Ramsey Winch. Didn't ask too many questions when I bought it (paid $1000). It has an extra battery tray on the driver's side for an aux. battery and there's a relay behind the wwiper fluid res. that's called the...
