    Reseal/rebuild NP241C parts???

    My ‘95 Sierra K1500 has a very leaky transfer case. No noises or engagement issues. Just leaking like crazy. Truck has 125k miles on it. I am ready to pull it out and was going to order seals, maybe seals & bearings, or maybe just a full parts kit. But now I’m confused by the myriad of brands...

    That didn’t last long….

    Welcome back to me. I joined up probably a year ago after rescuing my son-in-laws ‘95 Sierra. About 9 months ago I sold it to a friend and bought myself a brand new ‘23 Sierra. Sadly, every few months since then I’ve gone to his house to help him work on various other projects. Every time I...

    BIZARRE end to the hunting/stumbling idle issue on my ‘95.

    Just to refresh: I rescued the son-in-law’s ‘95 Sierra K1500 in February after it had sat dead for 12 years. I got it running quite well, but there was a hunting idle accompanied by a slight off-idle stumble issue that I just couldn’t get rid of. I tested individual parts, rebuilt the throttle...

    That was certainly a short love affair….

    I only bought this ‘95 a few months ago. It hadn’t run in a dozen years but I nursed it back to life and figured it would be my daily driver for a very long time. A buddy of mine has asked me to sell it to him and two days ago he finally hit a number that I just couldn’t pass up. So I drove...

    Foam pads at side mirror mounts?

    Anyone know the purpose of these? They push into the door opening from the inside where the side view mirrors mount. With GM trying to save every penny on their trucks I can’t imagine them putting them in for no good reason. My tow mirrors have one stud that goes through the space where they...

    Rebuild transfer case or not?

    As a reminder… Recently resurrected ’95 K1500 5.7 Sierra that had sat for 12 years. 120k miles. NP 241C transfer case. Transfer case seems to be functioning just fine, but it is leaking fluid where the two halves of the case bolt together. The leak certainly isn’t extreme, but leaves a drop or...

    Ugh! New parts…

    Some of you may remember my month long saga of getting my ‘95 K1500 Sierra to idle and accelerate properly. Bunch of new parts (seemed to) get it idling properly. More importantly, my off-idle stumble is finally gone. Fast forward to last week. I finally installed all of my new A/C components...

    Help with ‘95 K1500 power mirror wiring?

    Can someone with a ‘95 please take a picture of the 8-place straight wiring plug that plugs into the power mirror adjusting switch? I have all of the colors noted from the service manual. Unfortunately when I ordered an AC Delco pigtail to make a harness for my newly-installed power mirrors I...

    Kodiak door handles on…

    Installed my Kodiak door handles this morning. If I’d have had better lighting and a second person it probably would have been about a two-hour job. But having to juggle a flashlight and dance with trying to hold parts in place made it a three-hour exercise in frustration. But in the end they...

    Trail Ridge power tow mirror question:

    I’m wanting to put power-adjustable tow mirrors on my truck. Unless one of you steers me in a better direction my plan is to put the Trail Ridge mirrors on it. Now for the question: My truck currently has manual-adjustment mirrors. I’m still sourcing all of the correct wiring plugs to make a...

    TPS. Dial in the voltage or leave well enough alone?

    ‘95 Sierra K1500. My drivability issues are all ironed out so now I’m in the tinkering phase. Today I checked the voltage coming out of my TPS. .8v with the throttle closed. After confirming that the voltage climbs appropriately with throttle actuation I decided to slot the TPS mounting screw...

    10.1” ”floater” actually fits nicely.

    I wouldn’t have opted for this big-screen for my ‘95 Sierra but I had it sitting in a box. I was using it in my ‘14 RAM but took it out when I sold that truck. I don’t think it looks COMPLETELY ridiculous in there so it will stay at least for a while. I do have a newer Kenwood double-DIN...

    ‘95. Cut door switch panel for power mirror switch?

    My ‘95 Sierra has power windows & locks. I want to add power tow mirrors. I’ve been trying to find a stock switch panel that already has the mounting provision for the power mirror adjustment switch. I’ve found one in maroon on the auction site but I’m not sure how close I could get to the...

    Any luck with “narrow” grease gun fittings?

    Hey Folks; new first-world problem here… ‘95 K1500. I recently replaced the rear aluminum driveshaft U-Joints with new ones that have grease zerks. After doing so I did a full chassis grease job. I was disappointed to discover that no matter how oriented I cannot get the fitting on my grease...

    Step Bars. Extended cab W/O rear step pads?

    My ‘95 K1500 has no rear doors. My 5’00” 100# wifey has bad knees. I want to add some frame-mounted step bars to ease her trips in and out of my passenger seat. I don’t care if they’re SS or black powder coated but I WOULD LIKE TO find a set with just the step pads for the two doors. It may...

    Driveline vibration.

    I’m not sure why I’ve had a “clunking” going into gear and a vibration at speed. I’m thinking these were still good for at least another 100k miles! The good news is that today I’ll be changing transfer case and differential fluids. That should almost wrap it up for maintenance items...

    ‘95 5.7 runs poorly when warm. I’m reducing myself to being a parts-changer.

    ‘95 K1500. I wish I had access to an OBD-1 scanner but I do not. As you may remember I bought this truck about a month ago after it had sat for twelve years. 119k miles. It was parked because it had no power on acceleration. And it still does not. It idles smoothly but stumbles like crazy...

    “Floating Screen” without cutting dash?

    I know there are better options out there but I have a nearly-new JVC 10.1 KW-Z1000W that I kept from my RAM before I sold it. It’s just sitting in the box waiting for a home. I‘m planning on putting a double-DIN stereo in my ‘95 but I’m cringing at the thought of having to permanently cut the...

    Why I don’t let others work on my vehicles…

    My new-to-me ‘95 K1500 was ordered and bought new by my son in law. He does nothing mechanical. The only times the wheels have ever been off of the truck were when “professional“ tire shops replaced or balanced/rotated tires for him. Yesterday was finally tire-time so I could daily drive it...

    ‘95 K1500 air conditioning system Q.

    I’m trying to sort out the A/C on my new-to-me ‘95 Sierra. It was DOA and I did get it to run with a can of refrigerant. I DO plan to vacuum and fully recharge the system, but I want to make sure the system doesn’t have any leaks or issues before throwing $40.00 worth of refrigerant into it...

    ‘95 Sierra Ext-Cab with 60/40. Additional interior storage?

    My ‘95 has the 60/40 bench. The center arm rest is a solid piece with no storage. Did GM offer a folding center with storage that I could source? I carry just enough junk with me that the additional armrest storage would make life grand. My previous ‘95 -‘97 - ‘99 trucks all had the buckets...

    Paintless Dent Repair for the win!

    My new to me ‘95 Sierra had its share of issues. Body-wise, the most glaring was a nice dent behind the driver’s rear wheel which had the underside folded in by a guy backing into it many years ago. There was also a decent dent up high on the passenger side of the bed and the front of the hood...

    95 K1500 Viper alarm has me stumped.

    ‘95 GMC Sierra K1500. Factory power door locks & windows, but no factory keyless entry. All I wanted was a system to remotely lock/unlock the doors, but the Viper 3100v was so cheap that I decided to just go ahead and add the alarm along with the door locks. Today was finally the day to wire...

    ‘95 K1500 transfer case SEEMINGLY not working?

    In my effort to resurrect my new to me ‘95 Sierra I put it in the air today and changed the engine oil & filter. While all wheels were in the air I decided to start it and run it through the 4WD choices. I was surprised when the front wheels didn’t turn at all in either 4 High or 4 Low. I was...

    How is ‘95 K1500 rear sliding glass attached?

    One of the many repairs necessary is to reattach my stock sliding rear window frame. It’s only attached at the bottom. You can pull the top out a few inches. It LOOKS LIKE it’s supposed to attach with adhesive. The top and sides of the body window frame have what looks like a very uniform layer...
