    K1500 10 Bolt to 14 Bolt Semi Float Swap & Drive Shaft Length Question

    I recently purchased a 14 bolt semi float from a '94 K2500 with the six lug pattern and the perhaps infamous G80 limited slip. I believe the 14 bolt differential version of the G80 has less reports of exploding, and some guys think the G80, if used correctly with appropriately sized tires for...

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    Man that tire looks sick on your truck! I’m really starting to think of ditching K02’s for an AT in 255/85r16’s.

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    Honestly, that would be the much better size for me! I want closer to a 33” tall tire that’s narrower to reduce rotational weight while maintaining all the ground clearance I can. It’s just not unfortunately offered in the BFG K02’s… for 16” wheels at least. Do you have a tire model...

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    Hmm Never messed around with 2wd models. My limited understanding from looking online is a 4" spindle lift moves the hub 4" down, providing 4" of lift? But I'm also assuming stock 2wd models sit a little lower stock than 4wd. I think stock, center of hub to fender is about 21" for my k1500, I'll...

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    That is definitely not as small looking as I thought it would be. So you have a 4" block in the rear as well? It just doesn't look like 4" lift, probably just because I had in my head that a 31.7" tire would look real small with even my 2" BDL.

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    Yes, a Narrower tire. I don't have the original door sticker, but RPO code? Is that in the glove box? That doesn't look bad at all with a 4" spindle lift. Honestly this was the photo I needed to see most. Certainly looks quite a bit smaller than what I have now, but not as significantly so as I...

    Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

    Been thinking of a thinner tire, everything I read says I'm not losing performance on trails if I do. But I'm a little concerned it's going to look too small. Currently I have a 2" BDL with 295/75R16 BFG K02's Really love that size but the 33.3" tall tire (brand new) killed quite a bit of power...

    CB SWR meter not reading

    My PA speaker is also very quiet yea AK49 that’s what I was thinking. My mic may be the problem. Especially since my PA is also very quiet even with the volume maxed out! It seems to make a registering noise in the unit when I key it though...

    CB SWR meter not reading

    Thanks for the reply delta. Doesn’t seem to change anything. This morning I realized my excess cable was also wound pretty tight which I hear is bad news causing resistance. But I have it all stretched out right now and still nothing hmm I’m super stumped.

    CB SWR meter not reading

    Hey guys, Couldn't find a thread in here talking about my specific issue. Hope there's some CB guys in here. I just installed a CB and antenna for the first time. Hood mounted Firestik Firefly. SWR meter in line to a Bearcat 980 SSB receiver. Have an 18' cable run. The "jumper" cable from my...

    Alternator good but not charging battery

    yea it worked up until that install. But I also went through the process of removing the entire dash to fix the infamous blender flap doors that fell off in my rig. So everything was disconnected. And my truck was sitting for quite some time like that. But my remote start/alarm system was my...

    Alternator good but not charging battery

    Yea that’s just where I tested it. I’ll find a ignition on circuit if I need to use it. right now I’ve tracked continuity in the brown wire with my multimeter through the engine bay. This picture is the fire wall bus. The pin that the tip of the lead from my multimeter is pointing at is the...

    Alternator good but not charging battery

    First off thanks guys. I cleaned and applied dielectric grease to the connection and got nothing. Wiggled the plug got nothing. I spliced the brown wire with a quick disconnect. After starting the truck I connected it to the auxiliary post in the fuse box. And I got 15 volts at the battery...

    Alternator good but not charging battery

    I installed a remote start module in the truck. Everything works but the alternator is not charging the battery yet was just tested as good. the "dummy" battery light does not come on at any point including keys in on position with the car not running. This leads me to believe the brown single...

    TBI or carbs?

    Has anyone put a Tuned Port Injection in their set up? I was curious about those. Currently I was thinking about the Holley Sniper EFI. Since it's my daily driver I don't need to squeeze every HP number out of it that I could do with a carb. I want it to operate well in the mountains and down...

    Remote Door Lock signal is weak

    Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my key fob. My electronic door locks work strong from the switches inside the vehicle but my key fob signal is weak. I have to be close and sometimes it takes a few presses to activate. The fob works more consistently from inside the vehicle. When the signal...

    I know this is old now, But hoping you have an update on longevity, whether you went another route or what. Thanks! Also, how did you get the right one for our trucks? I don't even see an option on their website for our years?

    I was going to replace my 1995 k1500 carpet with vinyl... did you get that in and have some pics?

    Bang for buck.

    Quarter modding the fuel pressure reg? That might as well be Chinese to me. I put in an adjustable fuel pressure reg... am I a quarter of the way there?

    Bang for buck.

    I had a buddy who works on trucks often say that if I wanted to change my 5.7 TBI to vortec heads I'd have to re-chip it, and possibly get new injectors with a stronger pump because of the massive amount of excess air flow. Is that true? Seems drastic. Because I've been wanting to get vortec...

    Power Steering Gear Box Replacement

    Good to know you've got it on lifted trucks and it works fine. I am looking into that. If I get a new box it will probably be the 12:1 or 13-16:1 variable gear box's You're right, I checked. Stock is 15:1. The ratios I found to replace are listed above. Need to do more research on the benefits...

    Power Steering Gear Box Replacement

    It's a 1995 K1500. And I don't think I've got a cooler... don't even know what that is. But I've traced lines from the reservoir to gear box and I don't see anything else connected on that system.

    Power Steering Gear Box Replacement

    How long did that repair take you? If it's not too much time and I don't find the want to change my gear ratio, this may be the best cost/benefit ratio as I think my gear box is perfectly fine. Then again I don't have anything to compare it to... Kinda like shocks you don't know how bad they are...
