    Ride difference between18”, 20” and 22” on 33” off-road A/T tires?

    Just my 2 cents for what it’s worth... Before you set off on a hunt for new wheels, find out the price of the corresponding tire for the wheel size. I have stock 16” wheels on my 93 k1500. I was in shock at the cost of new tires. 20” wheels are so common now that the price of the tires have...

    Wanting to throw the original radio back in my truck.

    Just my 2 cents... if you are like me, you do not like the aftermarket radios as they are only able to be mounted into the center vent assembly and look like crap. They are usually well equipped to make adding accessories like amps very simple and offer all the features of the modern truck with...

    No Rear Lights! (except 3rd brake light...)

    If it were my truck, I would start by first restoring the rear light harness to factory configuration. (Remove any and all wiring that did not come from the factory including any “t” connector trailer harness) Once all of the aftermarket wiring has been removed, check for voltage signals at the...

    Need some advice on a 1995 K1500 potential purchase

    My 2 Cents... I just recently went through the infamous "Northern Rust" issues on my 93 RCSB 4x4. I purchased the truck for $2K from an auction in Pennsylvania and shipped it to Houston without looking at it. I knew it was going to be bad....But it was worse than expected. A complete frame...

    Quick Disconnect Fitting on Heater Inlet Hose

    In case anyone is interested...The threaded hole is a tapered pipe thread. I have only ever removed (1) of these that did not break when removed. The originals are terrible quality. I have repaired many of these. I have never had great success with the extraction tool. Usually end up bolting...

    Seriously. Where can I get some replacement front brake dust shields?

    GMPartsGiant.com They have access to a bunch of different sources and usually can find obsolete or obscure parts. I was able to order dust shields for my 1993 K1500 for $19.29/Ea.

    Tailgate Running Lights?

    I’m no wizard, but if you are needing to run wires to the inside of the tail gate for lights, make sure you run a ground wire also. The tailgate will not conduct electrical current due to the fact that they are removable. As to a routing option... I have installed license plates in tailgates...

    Oil pressure..

    Awesome news! Congrats on getting it running again. Glad I was able to help. The old PLUG WIRE TRICK.........Its been about 35 years since I did that on an old 350. It was in a 1978 3/4Ton truck. My brother had just rebuilt the motor and could not get it running. My first thought was...

    Oil pressure..

    Nothing related to oil pressure would prevent initial startup. Refer to what I posted earlier. it was running, you primed the oil system, then reinstalled the original the distributor. You stated: "]like I triple checked (if not more), i replaced all the plugs, the rotor" Were these already...

    Oil pressure..

    Take a step back and think! Running engine. You removed distributor, hacked up a spare distributor to spin oil pump...primed engine with oil. Replaced original distributor, engine not running... If this information is true, the problem is simple to correct. First, placing the crank...
