    picked up a 97 k-1500

    Finally found my dad’s twin! I’m 32 and for a few years now have been looking for my dad’s 97’ k1500. One finally popped up 4.5 hours away from me and I jumped on it, same color and all.

    Exhaust flange nuts

    Hi everyone. I'm new here. The past few weeks I've been slowly breaking down the engine on my 97 Chevy C1500 5.7 Vortec to investigate a random misfire and smoke coming outta the exhaust. Come to find out a pushrod was missing on cylinder 4 under the valve cover, that I eventually found under...

    FS: 1997 K1500 72K in Northern KY / Greater Cincinnati Area

    I hate to do it, but I've decided to let this project go. At the moment I need a more economical vehicle for daily driver duty, plus this truck is a bit too light duty to handle tow duties with my Jeep and trailer combo. I definitely don't want to see it sit around, nor do I want to see it be...

    97 5.7 low oil pressure fix?

    Howdy y'all, I'm having oil pressure problems, just wanted to see if there's anything else to do before I go and replace the oil pump. No reason to believe the sending unit is reading incorrectly. It tracks how it's supposed to, doesn't bounce around. It's just after the engine warms up, and...

    Yet another air conditioning thread!

    With the temperatures hitting mid to upper 90s almost daily now, I threw in the towel and decided to start poking around with my 97 Suburbans (7.4L, no rear A/C) air conditioning system. It hasn't worked at all in the 4 years that I've owned it. To start, I tested the clutch on the compressor...

    Hi my name is Ivan and this is my first time joining a forum, I currently have a 1997 GMC K2500 with the 6.5. It’s kind of beat up with 330k miles but it was a good price and runs pretty well. I needed a truck to drive while I’m restoring my 86 c10. But with “good deals” comes headache issues...

    97 305 vortec needs a little more power

    I have a low mileage 97 305 Vortec. It is a low mileage original engine and I intend to keep it in the truck however, it could use a little more power. I have read the argument about swapping to a 350 or an LS a million times and that is not what I am trying to do, I don’t necessarily want a...

    1997 K2500 454 Rough Idle, Loud Afterfire

    I have a '97 K2500 with the 454. Simply put, it doesn't idle right. When I start it up cold, it revs up to 2000 RPM, slowly settles to idle, and then either abruptly dies or practically dies before roaring right back up and going through it again. In order to keep it on I hold the gas slightly...

    I have a '97 Suburban K2500 with a 454. The A/C isn't blowing cold so added a can of R134A to recharge it. The compressor engaged intermittently but not fully. I added a second can and I'm getting similar results, but the compressor is engaging longer. The second can had UV Dye. I ran a black...
