    Best tran for a 454?

    I really want to know how to make this truck faster. I realize being a C3500 its heavier than the 2500s and 1500s by a bit due to the extra weight it needs to handle both in the bed and towing. Perhaps this just isnt the truck for me after all, but I want to know my options. The 454 in this...

    Best tran for a 454?

    Im just not familiar with this truck much being a c3500 its heavy duty but kinda want automatic. Should I always start in L and go to 1st ? Or only when towing? Ive been starting in 1st every time. If towing should I go from L to 2?

    Best tran for a 454?

    I got a 2WD 1994 C3500 with the 7.4L 454. Im not sure what tran is in it, but Im sure its stock. It has L, 1, 2, 3, OD, and R. I was wondering what tran could be a simple swap that does 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, R? I was told 3rd gear and Reverse were "Rough" but Ive only driven the truck for 20...

    What transmission is in a manual 1994 C3500?

    I am getting the truck for $2000, and I am expecting to have the entire trans rebuilt. Labor is 9 hours at $110 an hour. In my current Toyota 5spd I use Lucas oil. So far 170K miles and all original equipment, no issues. I was hoping newer fluid in this old girl could simply make it work...

    What transmission is in a manual 1994 C3500?

    I was thinking the Red Line 75W85 GL4 would suffice. $72.95 a gallon. I wonder if it's worth it to drain, and fill to see if it helps. Oh yea Rockauto stocks the ACDelco stuff, $17 each or $16 each if you buy 6.

    CORE Shifters back in stock

    Things get buried in old threads, I believe he was trying to alert everyone who might be interested in the product so we could buy now while in stock before anyone else gets them. Mission accomplished.

    What transmission is in a manual 1994 C3500?

    I'm purchasing a 1994 C3500 with the 7.4L 454 Engine, and it has a 5 Speed Manual transmission. But what tranny is it? I'm told 3rd gear and reverse are "rough" and I want to see what I'm looking at as far as replacement parts go. Also, are there any brands I should stick with that are tried...

    Wheels & Tires

    Since there is no dedicated wheels and tires section I decided to post here as braking and good tires kinda go hand in hand. Long story short I'm looking to upgrade my 1994 C3500 wheels and tires. From what I can tell stock size is 16x6.5 sporting a 245/75R16 tire. I would definitely like...

    Value of a 1994 C3500?

    Paying to have it shipped. While it does run and drive I don't have the time to do all that traveling. And the quotes I got for shipping $600, and $700, isn't bad in my opinion. Just waiting to figure the dates out.

    How to view more posts per page?

    Hello! On other forums in the past they would allow you to change the "Post" count per page. Now on this forum I'm stuck at 10 posts per page. On other forums you could enable 100, or unlimited. 20 is a nice sweet spot. How can I do that on this website?

    Value of a 1994 C3500?

    Well it does say the paint code was 50U which if you google comes up as Ultra White or Bright White. That had me worried for a minute if it was repainted. Figured it was wrong.

    Towing capacity for 1990 GMC Sierra 2500HD?

    When you click the link I posted it puts the Vin in the box, hit Decode and it tells you everything just about. It is indeed 8 Lug pattern, single cab, and I believe its the short bed. Could be regular size bed, but it looks small to me.

    Can anyone tell me the towing capacity? I called two dealerships and one had no idea and told me to google it. The other took the vin, and said he couldn't find out but said "off the record 5,000 lbs, but I wouldn't tow that much with it". Does anyone have documentation to back up the tow...
