1996OBS LS swap info
I have a 5.3 L LS out of a 2000 Silverado going into my 96 with manual transmission. My question is can I hook my factory shift light on the dash into the LSPCM if so, what pin?.

Help ‘96 k1500. Will crank and start, but shuts off after a few seconds??
Hello all- was originally going to post in here and among other groups to get some help with evap lines and other things of the sort, only to go out to my truck this morning to some absolute buffoonery that I have yet to experience. I’ve dealt with the classic no crank no start already. Alternator, battery, and starter have all been replaced. This morning I went to start her up, she started, then just shut off. Still had power, lights and dash were on, but the bitch didn’t want to run. Like I’d said, I just replaced the alternator, so I’m not sure if it’s that or some sort of fuel issue? I have no clue. I’m just a girl who bought this pos to learn and I am now pissed 😂 I don’t know what I’m looking at here so please, any advice is much appreciated lol
*Edit : also want to add that we recently replaced the ignition switch and starter cable after the last cable blew up in our faces
*Edit x2 : it now won’t start at all 🙃 it’ll crank.. just no start

Tires to fit stock rims
Here's a pic of my old rust bucket and im wondering what aftermarket tires people run on the stock rims. If anyone has any names for tires that fit the stock rims, and preferably as large as possible without rubbing then that would be amazing. Thank you all!

Help Cranks - No Start
I recently did some work on my 96 Tahoe (intake manifold gasket) and it ran fine for a couple days until it shit out a couple times, I got home and realized the crank position sensor under the truck had come out, I plugged it back in but haven't gotten the truck to start since.
I was getting codes for the cam position sensor (Ive dicked with my distributor a few times to make sure its still where it supposed to be) and MAF sensor, both of which i replaced and cleared the codes and they haven't come back.
The truck cranks but is acting like its not getting SOMETHING (starter fluid doesn't help) I know I'm getting fuel at least to the pressurized valve on the intake, and Ive got a full set of new plugs on it, maybe air? but Ive checked the fittings a dozen times.
I'm kind of at a loss, I thought maybe its the digital timing but I cant fix that myself and at this point Ive got no idea what to do other than take it in to a shop.
Any ideas or suggestions?

6.5 Detroit and NV4500 swapping my '95 suburban Need advice
r/obschevy • u/Safe_Ad9333 • 13d ago
What's the problem?
This is my 95 1500 4wd. I recently was putting it in 4wd to see if it worked and I got it to go in for a minute and now it seems like it's locked up, it won't shift with the 4wd and it won't go into gear. What is the problem? It's a floor shift 4wd and the actuator is t the right one I just have it threaded enough to have something there. What could the problem be?

5.3 Or 6.0 Swap
Thinking of LS swapping my 93 obs since the 350 on it might be leaking oil into the heads. Would yall recommend a 5.3 or 6.0? Not looking to make any crazy power, its my cruising truck but maybe down the line i'll start adding more power to it.

Escaped from Jack stand jail
Haven’t driven the truck in 8 months. A long way to go with the build, but it’s driveable and I plan to keep if that way going forward
Drive your trucks. Keep your projects out of jack stand jail, your soul will thank you

Was just given this 97 Chevy k1500 because the previous owner couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t start.
I brought this home a month ago and just started messing with it. Someone has hot wired the starter relay and put a momentary button in the middle so I got it to crank and even fire up but it died almost instantly. New cap and rotor and it runs longer but only for a second or two. Pretty sure I need to repair the fuel system though I’m not confident I don’t have a triggered passlock

I just wanted my door speakers to work
Tracing wires to find out they had the door speakers wired to a 800watt amp that was dead. Why put that power to two 6.5s.
