    92 Cluster, is this normal?

    I have never got around to asking this but is it normal that the gauges on my Cheyenne stick midway with the ignition off? They seem to work "normalish" when running other than oil pressure which seems to dance a lot! If they are shot, then a homebrew cluster of standard 2" gauges will be in...

    cutting out the cat on a 92, room to remove?

    I am busy right now on the exhaust of my K1500 and I think you will struggle big time without removing everything after the cat.

    1992 k1500 Stock exhaust manifold

    Well the new RA manifolds arrived from yourside so promptly got them fitted. Today should see another delivery of the downpipe/resonator section which made me think, once those 3 flange springs are fitted over the manifold studs, how tight should they me done up seeing as the springs serve as...

    1992 k1500 Stock exhaust manifold

    Apologies for the slow response but thank you very much for posting the photo's, they helped a lot. I've not had much luck locating a pair here in the UK so will have to pay the punishing freight charges & get them from RockAuto

    1992 k1500 Stock exhaust manifold

    Good day folks I appreciate it's a big ask but has anyone got photo's of the stock factory exhaust manifolds for a 92 K1500? I'm on the lookout here in the UK for a pair but obviously want to get it right!

    Power steering pump bracket-normal?

    So after many moons, I'm about to start replacing the header gaskets but have noticed this strangely welded power steering pump bracket which I'm almost certain ain't stock! With nothing to refer to has the previous owner just adapted this to fit after replacing the old factory manifolds? Cheers...

    Am I the only one that names my trucks?

    The name I would like is so over used (Black Betty) so will probably come up with something else! In the meantime, the rear window decal from the previous owner will have to do;)

    Are our trucks now Chinese?

    Wow! I didn't expect the thread to go off like this:D It just shows the pent up anger & resentment of a failed system. I believe the UK may fare even worse in a potential non Chinese world of commerce in that similar to the US, we have given scant regard to manufacturing sustainability and...

    Are our trucks now Chinese?

    Excuse the frustration! Living in Scotland see's me having to order parts for my 92 WT from the States but increasingly see the "Made in China" mark on parts delivered:mad: Now I understand about economics etc (don't get me started on quality issues)but on a practical side, our vehicles are...

    92 RWAL valve bleeding(Getting desperate now!)

    So a little update. Removed the RWAL assembly and plumbed in the rear line to the combination valve as has been done by many but still no fluid getting to the rear so can only be that rear flexible line mentioned by Shurkey. One has been ordered but it will take a least 7 days before arriving in...

    92 RWAL valve bleeding(Getting desperate now!)

    I didn't really consider the hose seeing as it worked ok beforehand but well worth checking! If I don't win, it will come off again to be rechecked unless I can raise the rear up significantly & check like that Currently have one of those locking tools in place so hoping that isn't the case...

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Which one did you go for from Motive?

    92 RWAL valve bleeding(Getting desperate now!)

    So the 92 k1500 brakes continue to challenge me! The background so far is after replacing the rear brake lines from the t piece to the wheel cylinders, I failed to block the line whilst waiting for parts and the MC ran dry of brake fluid. After bench bleeding a new MC and fitting it, the fronts...

    Combination Valve replacement-What's everyone using?

    Thanks Schurkey for the thoughts on this. The red light is indeed on but I'm going to take a look at the t piece over the rear axle as that's where I fitted new lines from the wheel cylinders to. This will at least confirm if fluid gets that far! Now to wait for the Scottish rain to stop. As a...

    Combination Valve replacement-What's everyone using?

    Seems to be stuck in position (rear brakes no fluid) despite numerous attempts to move the valve forward by pumping the fronts & releasing front wheel fluid from bleeder nipples.

    Combination Valve replacement-What's everyone using?

    There are quite a few good threads (some old) on the issues of combination valves etc here and have managed to learn a fair bit from reading them so many thanks to everyone who has shared knowledge. As per an earlier thread, I need to replace the valve on my 92 K1500 which has the rear wheel ABS...

    Proportioning/combination valve re center

    Thanks for the reply. Although it's all there, I have no idea if the ABS works or not but I do know that there was no shortage of fluid to both of the rear wheel cylinders before the new parts & lines were fitted. I done a basic 2 man attempt at bleeding and gravity with no luck so far.

    Proportioning/combination valve re center

    After fitting new rear brake lines to my 92 K1500, the inevitable happened with the proportioning valve closing off the rear brakes and now being unable to bleed them. There are a few videos on the tube but I thought I would ask you guys as to your experience in re centering the valve so that I...
