    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...

    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...

    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 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?

    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.

    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...

    Understanding why there's no 4wd - 92 K1500

    Greetings from Scotland! Late last year I bought my truck down in England and quickly became clear that she has had a hard life. Nonetheless, it ran good travelling up to our new home on a farm in Scotland where I had my first reason to use the 4wd. Guess what? I didn't work! Its the standard...

    Door fobs/power locks on early trucks

    Hi chaps, Im trying to find out whether my 92 work truck would have had keyless entry/door fobs back in the day! The new door key locks I fitted are really cheaply made so if I could reinstate the keyless entry, It would be great. The doors have power actuators fitted although unsure if they...

    Replacement kick panels 92 K1500

    Trying to kill two birds with this one! I'm missing the drivers side kickpanel and whilst trawling around here saw this photo of BH Burban's interior. The kickpanels in his truck look perfect and would love to ship a pair back home to the UK. Are these still produced and who knows the brand?

    Header bolts-tool suggestions?

    This truck has been blowing from the headers since I bought it about 6 weeks ago so I quickly ordered a fresh gasket set to try solve the problem. Parts came so I decided to start the job after coming back from a drive. I cannot believe that the bolts are only 10mm and virtually impossible to...
