    94 Distributor Rebuild

    So I decided to rebuild my 94 K1500 distributor. Replacing it solved my two year quest to find an intermittent no start issue with the truck. Replaced it with one from NAPA and it solved my problem. Once I took it all apart I can't find any damage to anything but I got a new pickup coil...

    94 K1500 Front Axle

    While looking the front end over the other day I saw my passenger side grease boot had finally gave up and grease had started to fly out. I had replaced the drivers side right after I got the truck a couple years back with a reman GM one from Rock Auto. No longer available. I'm seeing these...

    radio control lights

    I only recently noticed my radio buttons are no longer illuminated when my lights are on in my 94 Silverado. I did a search but can't find how to replace bad lamps or whatever they are in these radios. Anyone have a link to repairs for these?

    94 A/C Ready to Purchase

    I'm finally at the point where I need to get the A/C working again in the 94. It's been sitting and I've been fixing everything else the past year and a half. It's a R134A system. Rock Auto has a kit that uses a scroll replacement compressor. Is that any good? They write it up as being better...

    Fuel Question

    I'm still battling an occasional no start issue. I haven't put this 94 5.0 truck on the road yet and am still tinkering with things but this no start is puzzling to me. So far I've replaced the fuel pump, Delphi unit, fuel pump relay, rebuilt the tbi and installed the cfm technologies fitting...

    A/C Parts List

    Well I'm finally to the point where I can get the A/C repaired on the 94. My question is Rock Auto has so many different compressors and condensers listed and I'm really struggling to figure out what ones to get. I've made a list choosing as many A/C Delco parts as I could afford. My list has an...

    Slow 'lazy" start

    Been chasing this gremlin since I got truck in November. Replaced fuel pump, rebuilt tbi and put on a CFM Technologies fuel gauge on to see pressure easily, replaced tps sensor, and fuel filter. I haven't licensed it but do run it back and forth from the house to garage repairing everything...

    Repairing my A/C

    So I've been repairing things on this old truck of mine since I got it back from my son in law in October after 13 years. Among other things, the A/C hasn't been working for several years. I haven't tried charging it but no doubt after 26 years, it probably needs updated. I'm thinking it would...

    Can't find right file to match my truck

    I'd like to get the right file definitions put into my TunerPro RT and try to start figuring this out but my truck isn't listed anywhere. Is there another file close enough to get started with I could use? My ECM number is 16171199 and the letter code is BFCF. It's a 94 with a 305 and a 5 speed...

    Blend door actuator

    Well I finally got around to taking care of that irritating click click click noise every time I cycled the key. I searched and read everyones posts on it, watched a couple you tube videos. Took the glove box insert out, discovered the little bracket on the left side the door pivots on broken...

    Starting problem

    My 94 with a 5.0 is only starting with a shot of starting fluid. New pump, filter. Bought truck new in 94, sold to my son in law in 06. Saw it sitting at his house two Christmas's ago, he said it wouldn't start. Couple months ago my daughter asked if I wanted it for free, I said sure! Had it...

    Dash Cover Cap

    Has anyone bought and installed one of these ? I saw this on Ebay and thought it looked pretty good. My dash is cracked up but all there. I haven't seen any good ones at the junk yard so I was thinking this might be a good option. What do you guys think? Bad idea?

    94 K1500 Starting Issue

    Hi guys, I just recently got my old 94 back from my daughter and her husband after they moved on and got new vehicles. It's a 5.0 manual shift 4x4. It will not start unless I add just a tiny bit of pedal. Then it takes a couple tries, almost sounds like a carb motor that is flooded a bit when...

    New guy from PA

    Thought I might introduce myself before asking a bunch of questions about my "new" old truck. I'm from central Pa. Just acquired my old 94 Z-71 pickup I had bought new. I had babied it for 13 years, no winter driving, no mud, just nice days since I had a company vehicle. My daughter and her...
