    New engine options 1993 K1500 5.7l tbi 4l60e

    Hello, So I should get my truck back from paint this week, the interior and exterior will be done and now it's time to maybe investigate making this truck a little more powerful but definitely more reliable. I would love to say money is not an object but we always know it is. I have two...

    It's in the paint booth!

    So I have been fixing up my 1993 Silverado K1500. I have a thread about my interior resto-mod from last year and now it's going to the body shop for a paint job! It had a good 20 foot paint job as you can see in the first photo but as you got closer you would notice the body moulding was...

    Speaker Options

    I put Kicker CS Series coaxial in my 1993, did the 4" in the dash and 4X6" in the rear panels. These are a great price and come with free mounting plate and wire harness adapters if you order them through Crutchfield. I also added a five channel amplifier and 2 12" Kicker Subs in slim boxes in...

    beefing up trailer for higher payload

    I like this idea, except maybe rent a uhaul truck for the day. A 20' box truck is on a heavy duty chassis and will do everything they need to be done assuming the ramp is wide enough.

    Tail and reverse lights out

    Alright, Found a broken brown wire on the backside of the headlight switch. That was preventing my running lights from working, I have fixed that now I have running lights in addition to my brake and blinker lights so I can legally drive at night. Only light not working now is backup light, I...

    Tail and reverse lights out

    Hello again, 1993 K1500 Silverado 5.7l automatic. So I noticed my tail lights are out. The middle bulb works for turn signal and brake lights but the top and bottom bulbs which appear to be running lights and back up lights are not working. I tested the plug and no power is getting to the rear...

    AC Blower not working even after replacing resistor

    Well I tested with a ground straight from the battery and nothing so I replaced the blower motor and it's working again blowing harder than before and has all 3 speeds. Thanks

    AC Blower not working even after replacing resistor

    Hello all, 1st edit, this is a 1993 K1500 Silverado with a 5.7l V8 and 3 speed air conditioning blower. So I finally got my Air Conditioning working, I replaced hoses, condenser, and pretty much every moving part under the hood except the compressor. It would only blow on high but living in...

    Swapping passenger for drivers seat

    Edit based on missing information. It’s a 1993 K1500 Silverado stock non power bucket seats. Hoping someone has tried this otherwise I gotta pull the seats and check it out. I just bought a jump seat from a F#*d pickup and it’s a super tight fit and no way it will work with the armrests on the...

    Interior restomod pretty much complete with pictures

    My foam was “ok” so no I did not replace. It’s buying time for finding cool leather replacements.

    Installed new amp, humming noise

    So I just installed new radio, speakers, wires, and amplifier in my 1993 k1500. The speakers have an audible hum or buzz now. The hum is there even when the engine is off so it’s not the alternator. My guess is a piss poor ground. I used an 8 gauge ground wire bolted to the floor, I stripped...

    Weird thread size on New AC Hose Assembly

    I will be honest, at this point I have decided to order different lines. These are frustrating me to no end. I have the R134 quick release adapters and the high side adapter only screws on the low side adapter screws onto none of the two ports. As you can tell I am not an expert at this but...

    Weird thread size on New AC Hose Assembly

    Ok I have been researching and found the issue. The hoses I purchased (buyer beware) have a 3/16" port not a standard 1/4" port. So you need a 3/16" to r134a adapter like this: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/factory-air-low-side-90-3-16-service-port-retrofit-adapter-59981/18890332-P

    Weird thread size on New AC Hose Assembly

    Well this looks like a new one. I recently purchased a 1993 K1500 Silverado with the 5.7l tbi V8, the Air Conditioner system was leaking and the condenser looked rotten. The hose connection to the condenser was seized so I had to replace the hose assembly as well. I ordered this hose...

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    Asking here since this got no traction as it’s own thread. I found a set of 1998 Cadillac Eldorado seats at the local u-pull it. The seats are in ok shape some cracking on the drivers leather but looks like I can buy new leather covers for both for $349 at lseat.com. So I guess my question is...

    Column shift wire to gauge cluster routing

    Either I am horrible with my search or maybe this has not been discussed. I have a 1993 K1500 Silverado, working on new dash and interior right now. Originally the gear indicator in the gauge cluster seemed dead, always showing in park. I figured something was broken and it would be a tough...
