    I bought the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control, 10,000lbs for my 24ft enclosed car trailer. Rich Maple Valley, WA 1992 GMC K2500, 454/4L80E/3.73

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    I’ve already installed it inline just BEFORE the stock cooler. Will try that for the first tow. Had to order a new gauge as the first one was defective.

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    You’re saying a 92 OBDI has a temp sensor in the pan? I’ve been all over mine and haven't seen it. Guess I can look again.

    Q Re Proper hookup of 7 pin connector

    Yes, John, it was relative simple to hook up the connectors, but there were FOUR additional wires to the 4-pin connector. Those contain the 12v power and Aux Power. Just trying to figure out where those should be hooked up to. The few sources I consulted online did not specify constant or...

    Q Re Proper hookup of 7 pin connector

    GoToGuy - I bought a Cut kit 7-pin to 4-pin connector. The wiring diagram says "12v power" and "Aux Power". It says no more. There are red LED lights on the outside of the 7-pin connector (that is supposed to let you know if you have a good connection with the trailer, I believe). Those two...

    Q Re Proper hookup of 7 pin connector

    Yesterday I installed a 7 pin trailer connector to my 92 K2500. It appears the original came with a 4-pin. It's a Camper Special and I'm not sure where the connector would be for hooking that up - the manual says it's up front in the bed. Since there is a plastic bed liner, I haven't looked...

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    Yes! The renovation of this truck has been an evolution. I delve into the topic dejeure in this forum and sometimes I hit pay dirt, other times it doesn't come until I post what I did and kind folks like you, offer more sage advise. I did a good job plumbing in the tee fitting (no leaks...

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    The unit underneath/next to the Master Cylinder. As you probably know, ABS on a 1992 was only the rear drum brakes. Yes, this truck has the JB7 brake package.

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    I installed the sending unit in the hard line just before the cooler. I understand and accept that this may give me higher readings than the pan, but I'm okay with that. As Stutaeng said, I'll be mindful that it may be reading higher than if in the pan. The whole point of installing the...

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    I don’t know what the loaded trailer will weigh. I am planning for the worst scenario I can think of. I’ve rebuilt the brakes, including upgraded Master Cylinder, shocks, flushed/cleaned radiator, every sensor replaced & complete tuneup, Air-Lift 5 air bags, 4pt weight distribution hitch, new...

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    I found wires in the rear above the spare tire and in the front below the brake booster. That you guys very much. The Prodigy P3 is suppose to arrive tomorrow. Installed the 7-pin connector today. Rich Maple Valley, WA

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    I did find those wires (after cutting away all the electrical tape). What I can’t find is the other end, under the dash.

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    I crawled all over the truck - under the dash and under the rear plug. I could not find a separate wire that may work for the Brake Controller. The 7 pin plug only has 4 wires going to it. I'll have to run a wire from the Controller to a new 7-pin connector. Rich Maple Valley, WA 1992 GMC...

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    Rained all day, but hoping tomorrow I can check for those wires. Got a quote to install one (parts & labor) of $495. I think I’ll do it myself.

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    Thanks for responding because you confirm what I suspected - the convenient plug I want came on later model years. Now I'm wondering if its a DIY or pay a professional. I'm so wary of taking my vehicles anywhere these days - seems it's a crap shoot whether you get anyone knowledgeable and a...

    92 K2500 Trailer Brake Controller connection

    I've read that some of our GMT400's came with a factory plug in the harness to plug in a trailer brake controller. I've searched the archives and cannot find what year that might have started. Anyone know if a 92 might have it? I crawled under the dash but could not find such a plug whether...

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    Thanks to both of you. I did a couple things: (1) ensured the gauges were not reversed - they're hooked up correctly, and (2) used an infrared thermometer to see how close the gauge read-out is - the oil temp seemed to be within 5-10 degrees, completely acceptable. However the Trans Oil Temp...

    Normal 4L80E temp?

    I plan on doing some serious towing with my 1992 K2500 454/4L80E/3.73 4x4 Camper Special, towing an enclosed trailer that is about 10,000lbs. The truck has a heavy duty radiator with incorporated engine oil and trans fluid cooling. I am assuming (?) the engineers knew what they we're doing...

    Drilled/slotted or smooth rotors?

    Carrying this thread on with 2 questions: 1. On long down grades when brakes are needed (already down shifted), is it better to apply brakes long and steady or harder (to take off more speed) then release (to allow cooling)? 2. At a stop, once fully stopped, do you release the brakes just...

    Coolant Sensors all 3, 454 7.4 big block

    I have a 92 K2500 454. Are you considering replacing all three sensors and their pigtails as a matter of maintenance or are you having a problem? Sounds like one of them may have cracked from getting overheated, right? Did something happen to cause that or is it just age related heat cycling...

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    Your question makes sense. But typing all the parameters makes it more difficult to communicate an idea. See my previous reply to SUBURBAN5 - if i buy a power KIT, it will come with a passenger side powered mirror. If my truck doesn't currently have the wiring built in, I have to figure out...

    Gonna need towing mirrors

    My truck did not come with power mirrors so there is no current wiring nor switch for control. If I want power on the driver side (which I do), the kit comes with a power passenger side. Do I leave that one manual or simply install a controller on the passenger door (to minimize install)? My...
