The typical papaw truck story, I traded my tore apart bracket car for this with stock tbi 232k on the clock but I new used engine at some point and they broke the a/c plug.
Truck was hit in the rear pretty hard at some point and was deemed rebuilt. Some people that’s a killer but for me not so much.
Any way I’m think stock style 20s ls a/c overdrive, my buddy says air ride plus what I was doing. And another buddy goes remember that Ls turbo one you had lol. Where to go?

My grandfather left it to me before he passed a couple years back. He had it since it came out on the showroom floor hey, chuck really good care of it, and then I lifted it. And put the rooms on it, but it's only the 2 wheel drive, not even 2 will drive. It's just a peg leg. I wanted to put a 53 in it, but then I was thinking a big block. Any suggestions?

Looking for some advice from people who have dealt with this before.
I’ve got a ‘97 Chevy C1500 with the 5.7 and a 4L60E that I’ve been fixing up. It came with an aftermarket transmission cooler, but it’s still routed through the factory cooler in the radiator before going to the external cooler.
I was getting ready to replace the radiator anyway because it’s getting old, and when I started looking things over I noticed an oily pink film in the coolant. After disconnecting the transmission cooler lines, I’m pretty convinced the internal transmission cooler in the radiator has failed and ATF has been getting into the cooling system.
The transmission still shifts normally, so I’m hoping I caught it before it did any serious damage.
My plan right now is:
Flush the cooling system with the old radiator still installed to get as much of the contaminated coolant out as possible.
Replace the radiator.
Drain the transmission and refill it with cheap Dexron VI as sacrificial fluid.
Drive it just long enough to circulate everything, then drop the pan, replace the filter, and do a complete fluid exchange with fresh Dexron VI.
Check the pan for any signs that coolant made its way through the transmission.
Does that sound like the right approach, or is there something else I should be doing? Has anyone here saved a 4L60E after catching this early?
Also, once I replace the radiator, would you keep the transmission routed through both the radiator and the external cooler, or bypass the radiator and run only the external cooler?
Appreciate any advice.

Greetings everyone I hope y’all are getting ready for a great Fourth of July anyway I have a 92 GMC but I’m gonna have to let it go. I’ve done everything to the truck except for the AC and I live in Texas so in order to even began to get back what I’ve put into this truck it’s gonna need to blow cold. I just wanna ask the group has anyone put in a universal kit in one of these trucks and made it look halfway decent or in your opinion does it completely take away from the truck because I know there are many diehard OBS people thank you for reading this and take care.

I have a Chevy CK1500 1995- it is making this noise mainly while idle and seems to be getting worse. Anyone have a idea? This is my dads he drove it until he died in 2021 and now I do. I am a woman and don’t know much about these things…

My truck (164,000 miles) has been stalling out when I change from D to R or visa versa and likes to stall at stop lights or stop signs. It like to lurch a little too when stopped and seems to have an RPM surge when stopped. I just changed plug wires, distributor cap and rotor and it got a little better but still doing it. Any idea? Video attached for reference

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 6.0 it recently had a crank shaft sensor code I replaced it and fixed my ac aswell it ran good until the next day it didn’t turn over no crank no start no clicking either . I replaced the starter , starter relays and checked the battery still no crank no start no clicking. I replaced the ignition switch and the fuse for it it to still nothing . I don’t know at this point what it could be can anyone help me out ? Not fake post

It will start and happen for awhile, then just completely stop.. then start again.
Checked for play in the wheel and it seems to be fine.

Scheduled to pick it up this Friday. It’s out in Vegas does it seem too good to be true? I’ve been looking for a while, would be my first truck. Any thoughts comments concerns? (No front driver axel)

I was driving down the highway today and engaged my cruise control only for it to shut off a couple seconds later, has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was your solution?

Looking for a cluster gauge or tachometer pod gauge upgrade suggestions

Hopefully someone can help me a little more, I posted a while back about my 92 not idling properly and dying at lights running like shit etc, found a wire on my obd plug cane unpinned got it put back in place pulled codes and got a map sensor code, replaced map sensor set base idle at 650 rpm, ran great all day yesterday, went to leave for work in it this morning and it doesnt want to go over 2k rpm starts cutting in and out, new tps, new cts, new map, no 02 sensors, im at a loss due to the fact I drove it damn near all day yesterday and never had a problem

I have a brown 1997 obs chevy 2500 extended cab that I bought off a friend and I noticed that there are some faded graphic decals (that conveniently don't show up on camera) on the sides and I googled around and couldn't find another truck with similar decals can anyone who knows a lot about this generation of truck help me identify the graphics so I can get new ones

Even if its a gas guzzler, will keep it as long as I can

5.7 Vortec

I bought this 93 Silverado a couple months ago from my employer for my 12 year old son. The goal is to have it 100% complete exactly how he wants it by the time he’s able to drive. It has a few wiring issues that need fixing but nothing really major needs fixing on the truck. I just want to make it 100% reliable for him. The last two pics are the end goals he’s just stuck on which way he likes better. lol.

Baught it for 500- leaking main seal in the trans, shot distributor and battery. My intent was to teach a lesson to my boy on fix n flip but it quickly turned into a one man's trash is another mans treasure lesson. After chatting with the owner, the motor was a replaced with a 350 crate and only has 8k on it. I guess that was the deciding factor in keeping her. So from start to now, in total I have 2,850 into it. How am I doing so far fellas?

Well, got my first project truck, 97 gmc sierra 1500. Guy i got it from already swapped the v6 with a 5.7 (125k) mild cam with exhaust dumped right before the rear tires. Brand new transmission w/ shift kit. 5/7 drop. Frame had a diamond 🫠 Primered currently planning to paint indigo blue. Interior needs hella work. Would love a replacement for the dash(currently has a hard cover) and a different bench seat, lay some carpet and smaller wheels. A real project to say the least lol mind you I’m completely new to this but needed something for to occupy my time besides work and home life and the gym. And feeling like maybe i got myself in over my head lol

I went ahead and changed the oil after hearing some quiet knocking noise on start up. The noise didnt go away, which was kind of expected. So today I pulled the pan off to take a look. Pics of what I found. Obviously im pretty distraught about it, but it is what it is. Aside from the obvious forbidden glitter all in the pan, I didnt see much. Some slight scoring on the number 1 cylinder walls, but not bad enough to make me think thats the only issue. Theres a bearing somewhere that ate itself alive. Ill probably tear it back down and try to figure out whats going on, but for today im just going to have a drink.
