    The fleet

    Ok so two GMT400 threads was enough to keep track of. Now there's three in the collection, so everything is going into one thread. You already know this truck: And this truck: Green '94 is the daily. Needs a little work but I drive it and use it every day. The HD blew up last fall and I...

    2001 C3500HD 8.1

    Don't see too many of these around. Too expensive and I can't imagine what the fuel bill would be like, but these things are beasts with the 8.1 http://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-heavy-equipment/moncton/gmc-1-tonne-dump/1189274407

    1997 Chevrolet C3500HD

    Been away from the forum a long while. I'm still alive, the green '94 is going strong at 330'000 kms, and I just picked up this baby today. It's a 6.5/NV4500 with a nice working electric over hydraulic 11x7' dump. 220'000 plus whatever was added after the speedo stopped working. She's...

    Diesel and gas clutch

    Anyone know if the clutch and pressure plate assemblies out of a 6.5 diesel are the same as a small block? Did a little reading and haven't really come up with anything conclusive. I just don't want to get two trucks apart and then have to put one back together to make a trip to the parts...

    Gizmo review: Scosche wireless FM transmitter

    So, I originally had planned on replacing the stock am/fm radio in my '94 K2500. However, being the interior on the truck is near mint, and any of the aftermarket decks I've had simply would look (in my opinion) completely out of place in that plain jane, utilitarian interior, I decided to opt...

    Got a new toy in the mail...

    So, this finally arrived in the mail today... A bluetooth code reader. Sends live data from the computer in the vehicle to your laptop/phone or what have you. I paid $11.61 Canadian with free shipping. I think it was on sale at the time. Lots of other places list it though...

    Rant: don't buy Stanley tools

    Ok, I need to vent. I'm a little bit upset with Stanley at the moment. A year or more ago, I bought a set of Stanley sockets/ratchets/wrenches at Canadian Tire. It was a full set of 1/4" and 3/8" drive sockets and a kind of half complete set of 1/2" drive sockets (I only realized once I...

    Anybody tried one of these?

    Ok, I'm very mechanically inclined and a do-it-yourselfer, and can fix just about any problem my truck has, but to be honest I'm not the greatest "electrician" shall we say. Basically, I want to be able to plug my phone (Galaxy S4, if you care, with a 3.5mm aux plug) into my truck to listen to...

    1994 GMC K2500 light duty

    So as some of you may know, I recently acquired another '400 to add to my collection (including parts vehicles, I now have 5). I'm still driving the '96 and plan to for the time being. This is just a fixer-upper project and I'm in no huge hurry to get it done. 1994 GMC K2500 light duty...

    Sig request

    Thought since the truck is more or less how it's gonna stay for awhile, I'd see if anyone would be interested in doing up a sig for me. Would be kinda cool, I'm no good at photoshop Whatever works, I ain't fussy. Thanks!

    http://fredericton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-2000-GMC-C-K-3500-Pickup-Truck-W0QQAdIdZ459190112 I didn't think they even made these? Or is it a modification? Seems like a good price though!

    Dash replacement

    Hey guys, Dunno if there's been a thread on this or not, but I thought I might go over a few tips and pictures from how I removed and installed the dash in my 96 K2500. This applies to all 95+ trucks, 97+ will be a little different with the airbag (or airbag delete), but the same idea. I hated...

    Today.....was not a good day (pics)

    Went to pull a couple spark plugs to check them out today. I'm not sure how old the plugs are, but you could tell somebody had them out in the not too distant past (socket marks on plugs). Pulled plug on cylinder 1. Cracked porcelain part, no big deal, I figure I'm going to just replace them...

    4x4 Decal

    Anybody have an ebay link (or elsewhere, I guess) for a 4x4 decal that is identical to stock? I bought a Z71 one on ebay awhile ago for my old truck but it was kind of a shot in the dark as to whether it was going to be like the OEM ones. Hard to tell from the "illustrations". It turned out good...

    Chevrolet tailgate banner

    Have a Chrome Chevrolet tailgate banner I want to install on my tailgate. The back is still covered with that black stuff, whatever it is, that was used to seal it to the tailgate from the factory. How should I mount this to my gate? I'm thinking double sided tape? Idk if it would be strong...

    First (real) snow of the year pics

    Started snowing this morning and it's the first of the year that's really amounted to anything. Took awhile for DOT to get around to plowing, I guess they were pretty backed up. This is my yard, and there are actually 5 GMT-400s in this picture (you can barely see the tailgate of my K2500 in...

    6.5L diesel ignition switch

    Hey folks, The guy I work with runs a 1997 GMC C3500HD, 6.5 diesel/5-speed. Today after leaving the woods, she quit. Just like shutting the key off. Whirled it over for awhile, nothing. After much annoyance spending several hours off and on testing this and testing that (initially I though PMD...

    350 TBI electrical issues

    Ok, maybe I should put this in the electrical section? As it seems to be an electrical problem. 1991 GMC K2500 plow truck, 350 TBI, 4L80 (I think) trans. Not my truck. Truck has had some electrical glitches, none of the gauges seem to work and the lights work when they feel like it. Today...

    4-way flasher switch broke

    Ok, so the other day I was towing a guy out of a ditch with my '96 3/4 ton Chev and when I hit the switch for my 4-way flashers (or hazard, emergency lights, whatever you want to call them), didn't it break and pop out. So now, when I push down on what's left of it it won't stay down, leaving my...

    Gears, mpg, could use some wisdom

    Hey, I have a 1996 Chevrolet K2500 eclb 5.7 vortec/4L80E, K&N CAI, slight exhaust work, tires are Kelly Safari TSR 265/75R16s and I'm running between 12-14 mpg pretty consistently at mostly 80-90 km/h with some 4 lane 110 km/h, or 50-55mph and occasionally around 70mph. Doesn't seem to make...

    Engine won't start, weird

    Hey folks, I've been doing some searching and I can't seem to figure out what's going on with my truck. It's a 5.7L vortec in a 1996 3/4 ton. The engine will roll over forever, but will not start, sometimes the odd kick, but not close to starting. Pull off the air filter crap, dump a little gas...
