    Gas Tank Replacement

    i had one end in my hands and the other balancing on a jack that my brother was slowly lowering, we had the old tank out and the new tank in in no time at all. tank was probably 1/8 full. i just really think i could siphon a tank to almost empty, undue the straps and lines, and lower the tank...

    i have a hard time believing pulling the bed is easier than just dropping the tank from the bottom

    Gas Tank Replacement

    did this a few months ago on my 92 k2500. if your fuel lines are crusty then be very careful with them/ expect to crack one. other than that, it is very straight forward job, took no time at all getting the old tank out and the new tank in. having a buddy or a couple floor jacks help. I...

    electric actuator upgrade doesn’t fit 8 lug k2500

    I knew i wasn’t crazy. so based off of that bulletin, there IS a difference in the 88-93 8 lug 8600GVWR front axles that prevents this upgrade. i ended up turning the new electric actuator down on a lathe as much as i could, you’re limited by the fasteners that hold the actuator together. i...

    Just acquired an abandoned 92 sierra 2500 with the 7.4L. Looking for info and resources

    Interior is 95% finished. ACC carpet is in along with all of the red panels. I need to fix the seatbelt retractors and get some speaker covers but that's really it. I also replaced the driver side door and did the hinge bushings on both doors. I ended up machining my own bronze bushings since...

    cross referencing 92 454tbi EGR valve

    the nuts and studs on mine were very rusty and corroded as well. i took my egr off yesterday to clean it and rule it out. the wrench was very loose on the nuts but luckily they both started spinning the studs out with the nuts before the wrench slipped. the top of the studs have some form of...

    cross referencing 92 454tbi EGR valve

    i got those numbers by checking the number on the egr that is on my truck. i believe once i googled the “DJY 17091064” that is on the egr on my truck, that second 214 number popped up for that egr on a GM parts site. i could be wrong seeing as i googled at least 40 different part numbers trying...

    97 k1500 5.7 headlight switch pinout

    In regards to the white wire, where exactly is the s246 splice located? the schematic says "crossbody harness approximately 41cm from left door breakout" but I cant see any obvious junction in that area. Im assuming I can just splice it into the white wire that the courtesy lights connect with...

    cross referencing 92 454tbi EGR valve

    hey guys, trying to cross reference the now discontinued AC DELCO 214-5429 / 17091064 EGR valve. i can’t seem to figure out which EGR offered by parts stores today would cross reference to this one. whenever i enter a 92 454tbi with an over 8600gvwr i get a mismatch of potential EGR valves...

    Just acquired an abandoned 92 sierra 2500 with the 7.4L. Looking for info and resources

    Big progress this past week. Upgraded the 4wd actuator to the late model electric unit and then took it for its first test drive down the road and it did great aside from the worn out suspension. I got on it pretty good in the snow and ice and the 4wd performed perfectly. I then pulled the dash...

    Water pump and thermostat

    I just replaced the water pump, thermostat, and upper/lower rad hoses a week ago. I used the napa water pump and all is fine. Break fan bolts loose before serp is off, check all pulleys and idlers for scratchy bearings, remove water pump, clean gasket surfaces, wire wheel bolts if reusing, put...

    electric actuator upgrade doesn’t fit 8 lug k2500

    600-601 seems to be the right part number. instructions said to teflon tape the threads. the picture doesn't really show how off the actuator was from going in. it looks like the threads are started in that pic but it's just resting there. the body of the sensor would hit the axle tube before...

    electric actuator upgrade doesn’t fit 8 lug k2500

    I ended up turning down about .1" off the actuator and then grinding the axle tube/housing just enough for the sensor to thread in straight. The swap itself works fantastic, immediate 4wd and it fixed the issue of my 4wd fuse popping on engagement. I'm just still curious on if there's any...

    electric actuator upgrade doesn’t fit 8 lug k2500

    my apologies for the incorrect location. i saw the bulletin about the casting flash that might have to be knocked off but this is far beyond just a rough casting needing to be cleaned up. the front end is also aluminum on my truck and not the cast iron that they reference i was only able to...

    electric actuator upgrade doesn’t fit 8 lug k2500

    hey guys, the thermal actuator burned out on my 1992 gmc k2500 7.4l tbi truck. i decided to do the electric actuator upgrade and ordered the dorman 600-600 kit along with the dorman 600-101 actuator. my issue is that the body of the new actuator is wider and hits the axle tube, preventing it...

    Just acquired an abandoned 92 sierra 2500 with the 7.4L. Looking for info and resources

    i could probably park my forklift up to the bumper and give it a shot lol that reference makes me feel better because that’s pretty much where mine engages, about halfway thru its travel. you feel the brakes start grabbing at about 40% engagement and it’s a super firm pedal and hard stop by...

    Just acquired an abandoned 92 sierra 2500 with the 7.4L. Looking for info and resources

    i always bleed brakes rear right, rear left, front right, front left. i’ve bled the daylights out of them as well. they are super firm and work great but just engage rather far into the pedals travel when the truck was parked, the lines rotted away and the rear master went dry so i’m fairly...

    Just acquired an abandoned 92 sierra 2500 with the 7.4L. Looking for info and resources

    right now the pedal engages at about halfway or a little less through its travel but it is stopping very nicely. i’ve seen posts about holding a flat object infront of the metering valve stem/hole thing while someone hits the brakes in order to remove trapped air. there’s even a tool made for...

    Can you bleed RWABS with the truck in the air?

    sorry to bump an old thread but i have a 92 with the early abs system. did you do the bleeder facing the front of the truck or the bleeder underneath that faces the ground?

    Tired 92' 454 TBI needs help

    i just brought a high miled 1992 454 big block tbi truck back to life after being abandoned for 15 years (check my thread). it didn’t even tick a lifter on the first start up, it ran like it was shut off the day before to be honest. these engines are runners. all i had to do for the engine side...
