Which clutch from each respective manufacturer is what I was asking? Sorry for the confusion.

Ok, So I'm probably going to have the clutch, clutch slave cylinder, and pilot bearing replaced. First off: Which clutch would you recommend for these trucks? The truck is almost entirely stock and I don't plan to do any performance mods. I do tow a car trailer with the truck and will be...

I've never had to add fluid but I will check that this afternoon.

Unfortunately I don't have the time or the space right now to pull the tranny myself, so what should I be expecting to pay to have it replaced? I have no idea how many miles are on the clutch, so I might as well replace that while I'm at it, correct?

Hi All! I have a 1999 GMC K3500 that I've had for a little over a year. The truck has 205,000 miles on it but according to the previous owner, the engine should only have ~140,000. It has the 5-speed manual transmission and recently I've been having some trouble with it. I'm not an expert...

Well, they don't seem to make those for the 1988-1998 trucks so it doesn't help us much

I was wondering the same thing, I need to raise the front end a little for my plow and was wondering what the best (most economical) way to do it would be?

Good to know about the fuel gauge! I'll have to do some checking. As for the wires, I could easily get away with a single 10 gauge wire for now...is there a passthru at all? Don't worry, I've been installing lights and stereo systems for years, have all the tools and pieces necessary to...

Your wish is my command! Couple other quick questions: Is there any sort of wire pass-thru in the firewall or do I have to drill a new hole to run power back for my strobes/amps/so on...? Fuel gauge doesn't seem to be working, goes from about 3/8 to 1/2 full. Is this common? Where should I...

I have a spare OEM IP harness, so I might just make my own and swap out the EDAM one, but it seems to be working ok for now. Nope, didn't save it, after the BRIEF foamy part, i got consistant diesel out of the hose.

Not sure, any way to tell once it's in the tranny? (color, smell...) I have not replaced any of the fluids yet.

Yet another UPDATE. Went out to do the lift pump test and when I turned the key to the on position, i heard the familiar noise that I believe to be the lift pump, so I figured I might as well see if it'd start and SURE ENOUGH IT DID! Drove it 2 blocks home, truck started heard and idled...

Got the new Dtech PMD, plugged it in...nothing! I still have to check the lift pump and try plugging the new PMD directly into the IP harness, but it doesn't look like it's the PMD...what else should I be looking at?

That was the first thing I checked, plugged it directly into the IP harness and nothing :( Ordered a Dtech PMD with #9 resistor from Pensacola Diesel...+ $40 for overnight shipping

Almost the exact same situation, except I was probably 40 miles away. Ambient temps were just below 40F.
