For your 1995 model, I think you're limited to 1995-1996 - and *possibly* 1997, it's been a little while since I pulled any headlight harnesses so the 1997 is a big maybe. Yours does have the round "barrel" appearing connector inline. 1994 and older are totally different and go straight to the...

Looked up on NAPA using a 1994 C3500 6.5TD - In the Echlin (NAPA) line, the boost sensor is CRB 216865; barometric pressure sensor (they still refer to it as a MAP sensor) is CRB 216521 - so while they look the same, they're definitely different part #'s. In the Delphi line, the boost sensor...

Driveline brake is from 3500HD models (1991-2002), 15,000 lb GVWR - they have 4 wheel disc brakes with no parking brake provision, so there's a drum brake on the rear of the trans. Output shaft is considerably longer, housing is longer, etc. Here's a side shot of one from a '94 3500HD...

I could be wrong but from his description it sounds like he's wanting to convert his W/T sealed beam grille to the Silverado style grille which uses composite headlamps, like this: As far as I know, no e-code lights available that fit that setup, but I could be wrong. You're right though...

The Eaton Gov-Loc (RPO G80 in the trucks) isn't a limited slip, it's a locker; and you should be using straight gear oil in it with no posi or limited slip additives. There's a TSB out from GM about this exact subject and they state pretty clearly that use of those additives is considered...

The dash clusters from 1992-1994 are somewhat notorious for a poor ground, causing the gauges to read a little low, but more obviously for sudden voltage dropouts to cause weird behavior like the speedometer momentarily dropping off when you increase the load like hit the turn signals. The...

I recognize those pics from the TBICHIPS website. ;) Just FYI those modules are used in more GM vehicles than just our trucks - but in our trucks, 1991 does not use this type of setup. It's built into the dash cluster itself. The GM fullsize trucks that use this setup are only 1992-1995...

I can tell you from experience (and reading experience of others) that pretty much all of the aftermarket copies are poor quality. The two main issues are fit - they will tend to sit crooked, giving a "droopy-eyed" appearance, which can be corrected to some degree by hacking at the mounting...

Thanks Skylark, I remember you from FSC; man my reputation (perhaps not wholly deserved) has preceded me! ;) I've had the benefit of playing with a lot of GMT400 trucks but believe me I don't know everything about them, far from it. But I will help out whenever I can on those subjects. I just...

Can anybody that has done this offer any insights? The drivetrain is a '94 6.5TD/NV4500, so I won't have to worry about the TCM and apparently the ESS, TPS, etc. I've read Mr. Martin's conversion guide several times through and still a little confused, but mostly due to my severe lack of...

They're of similar origins...but with no disrespect intended, implying a TH400 and 4L80E are alike is kind of misleading. Just like a TH350 and the 700R4/4L60/4L60E series have their similarities, the OD transmissions are far more complex and expensive to build. Most shops can knock out a...

That block doesn't come apart, it's just there so it can be secured to the firewall. The wiring continues on to the PCM and a few other items in there; it can all be disconnected just a little bit inside the passenger compartment behind the glovebox. Richard

That behavior sure sounds like it has a hot fuel module installed. I don't think it's going to be related to your starting problem, but I could be wrong. I haven't really messed with any vehicle that has that option. Richard

Don - cool bed floor idea but I think I'm gonna stay with the current style of the truck, which is rough, and raw. It'll probably get some diamondplate (steel, not aluminum) compartments built fore and aft of the notch, some wheel tubs made, and a notch cover between them. It would seem a...

Brooklyn - yep, company truck, 2009 3500"HD" with an 810 Intruder on it. Love the Intruder, probably my favorite selfloader...not really the truck so much. It's OK but it's no real HD. Maybe if it had a Duramax the front end would stay on the ground when it's got a load on, but it's a 6.0...

Thanks, yeah it's definitely not happy, has a pile of codes set, needs troubleshooting. But a few of my friends have been bugging me for video so I took some. :) The clear tube to the injector pump seems to be devoid of any bubbles, that's a good sign, yes? Richard

Leroy & btfarm - yep, far NW side. 3500GMC - your '65 looks like fun. Nice stance. Took a quick video of the '58 today. Not much, just some tripod stuff, but I dig it :) Be sure to have your volume up a bit. (like I would have to tell you guys)...

I just installed 2 BFG Commercial T/A's on the front of my '58/'94. I wanted an E load tire that was made in the USA, and I'm fairly comfortable with the BFG brand. Once I do the suspension work I'll probably get 4 more for the rear. Don't want to do it now or the bed's wheelwell cutouts will...

I tried to find the pictures of his CV's as they were so obviously out of whack it was scary to look at. But the pic links are no longer good... :( Richard

I should have added, I'm not knocking the Michelins for being bad, they were REALLY old as confirmed by checking the date code on the sidewall. Richard
