Tachometer And Speedometer gauge lights not working
Good afternoon! I have a 1996 K1500, and I recently have had an issue where the illumination lights behind the tachometers and speedometers are no longer working. They both stopped working at the same time, while every other light in the gauge cluster works. Fuses 4 and 14 are alright, and I...- LeFrostiPine

Oil Pressure Gauge Only Works In Park or Neutral
My 96 k1500 has been having a bit of an issue lately with the gauge. I am going to have it pressure tested next week, but the oil pressure gauge works properly in park or neutral. I get about 15 psi per 1000 rpm when hot, yet when put into gear, it'll only go up to 35-40psi max. Should I be...- LeFrostiPine

Steering feels light after gear box replacement
About 6 months ago, I replaced the majority of my power steering system, except the gear box. However, it started leaking profusely, so I recently replaced it. Upon replacing it, my steering feels extremely light, as if there is no weight on it. Is there a way to increase steering resistance?- LeFrostiPine

Can I safely press in another set of ball joints in stamped steel arms?
Several months ago I replaced my ballpoints with some cheap autozone ones. I regret it, because the boots tore on both sides. If I were to press in new ones, it’ll be the second time the truck has had ball joints replaced. I am going with OEM ones now. Am I safe to do so? Should I instead buy...- LeFrostiPine

Do the rocker panels have drain holes?
Heya! Again, I have a 96 k1500. No rust, southern truck. The truck will always be in the south. Just wondering for fun, do the rocker panels have drain holes? My rockers have no rust both inside and out, and I confirmed it after removing those black little plug things. I plan on oil coating the...- LeFrostiPine

Stamped balljoint seating question
Heya! My lower balljoint is shot, so I went to replace it with some Autozone ****. However, after 3 attempts to install, the bottom balljoint's lip looks bent, even though it's fully seated. The original one was fully flushed. I've attempted to even it out, but I've bent two out of three...- LeFrostiPine

Do the 1996 K1500 and C1500 have the same lower control arms?
Heya! I am looking to replace my lower control arms in a pair without spending a lot of money. A single lower control arm for my k1500 is about $150. Online, I found full lower suspension rebuild kits for a very responsible price, but they are listed for the c1500, not the k1500. Are they...- LeFrostiPine

Spare Tire Crossmember 1996 K1500
Hello! I recently sold my vehicle and purchased a near mint 96 k1500. No body rust, original interior, everything. While the frame has minimal rust, the edges of the rear spare tire crossmember is starting to rot. The rest of it is solid. I was told by a friend who is a mechanic that the rear...- LeFrostiPine
