Hi all, we're willing to swap a C3500 14 bolts full float rear end on a 1997 K1500 6.5TD which is equiped with a 14 bols semi-float rear end. Other than the 8 lugs instead of 6, is it just a plug & play swap, or does it involve mods and weldings? Also, we heard about 6 lugs full float rear...

On a 6.5l, the rear main seal just slides over the rear of the crank, so it's an easy maintenance. Though, as for the 6.2l (casting 660) it seems tess easy to do, as this seal is a 2 pieces one. Is it more difficult, I mean, should I care about something special? As far as I understand, I...

If you have the opportunity to grab an engine, would you choose the 6.2l (casting 660) or 6.5l (casting 506)? Also, would it be worth it putting the 6.5l HO oil pump on the 6.2l or is it just useless, even not good?

My rig is lightening the MIL ON, throwing a DTC35. She does that especially in the 5 minutes following cold start, at acceleration. The MIL turns Off if I release the accelerator OR if I floor the pedal, WOT... At cold, no or slight vacuum in the tank. Untill the past days, she is now...

Would a 1995-1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN SILVERADO 1500 4X2 REAR END AXLE ASSEMBLY 3.73 from a gasser fit on my 1994 4x4 Full size BLAZER with a 10 bolts rear end axle 3.73 8.5" ring ? Mine is "bent" on left side and need to be replaced...

Hi all, here are torque specs I gathered. May I ask you to have a look and confirm I collected well, especially on the "1 pass" specs? Looks something is odd about the 506 specs. Main cap bolts: 1988-1996: blocks 929, 599, 141 1 pass • Ext (12 mm bolt)-- 100 ft/lbf • Int (12 mm bolt)-- 110...

ne more. But this one is a 2003 Silverado. If I'm correct, there's no cap and rotor on this one. The guy was cruising, and suddenly, the truck started bucking and run rough. The truck does start almost easely, iddle a bit high but not rough. The scanner shows DTC P300: Doing cylinder...

I'm not very used in chevy gassers. though, I accepted to help a buddy who owns a 1998 K1500 with a 5.l Vortec engine. The truck starts fine and purr like a kitten at iddle. Though, when driving, it starts to stumble a bit once we reach 2 000 rpms and the MIL comes on. I hooked my scanner...

I remeber I have read a post explaining that you can install a K2500/3500 rear end on a k1500. The k2500/3500 being 8 lugs, there is a kit which can transform them to a 6 lugs, adding rear disc brakes at the same time. As I am very intelligent guy, I found this very interesting but...

More than a year after... I bought a universal aftermarket kit, from JOM, a deutch brand. It seems to be almost easy to wire, as it is able to work with several kind of vehicles, positive or negative controlled, etc... But, because there's a but, what is a 1994 Full size Blazer? ...

Hi all, I remark that not all push rods are equal: some are a little bit shorter, e.g. the SEALED POWER Part # RP3238 is 8.824" overall (to fit 1994-1997 K1500) and the SEALED POWER Part # RP3342 (with one side copper coloured, to fit 1988-1998 K1500) is 8.8215" overall. This is not a...

Hi all, like says the title, we have a pickup, a 1996 K1500, experiencing very rough cold start. She does start almost easy, but smokes white as hell ( smells fuel) for 30 seconds to a minute. Engine shakes, runs like if some cylinders misfire, then it goes more stable clanking, and then...

I'm experiencing oversteer and tire drift with my Blazer. Front sway link are new, the front sway bar looks good, but I remark there is no stabilizer bar on the rear suspension. Does it exist an OEM setup or a kit I can install to cure these problems?

Hi all, I'm looking for a good head to replace one I suspect a crack in. I'm a bit tired at the moment of repairing things or dealing with "used but good" item... So, I found some heads on ebay, at affordable price, average $400~450 loaded, said to be new. One seller says the head is not...

We're on the way to install a Ted's 6.2l in a 1997 K1500. Everything is going fine, but we forgot one thing: the 1997 K1500 uses high flow hoses which are bigger than the oil lines found on 6.2l and early 6.5ls... Soooo, we have to match the 1997 oil cooler lines with the smaller oil cooler...

A guy asked for a conversion from his 1997 K1500 automatic to a manual trans. He tried to have his 4L80E rebuilt locally and now has no OD and no rear. He is fedup and wants to go manual. Other than mecanichal aspects, is there something we have to care about electronics/ECM?

I'm looking for the part number of an oil switch fitting which was used on 1994-1994 setups, before GM decide to put the oil pressure switch under the intake manifold - why make things easy as we can do them more complicated? - :rolleyes5: It's part #6 on the diagram. It bolts on the...

Here is a picture of my oil pressure, idle hot. It then establish at 275 cruising hot, and is around 300 at cold when starting. Nothing to compare with my previous optimizer which was settling at 275 hot idle and 400~410 cruising hot The oil pump is a brand new HO SEALED POWER Part #...

My oil pan is leaking like a cow pissing in the field :mad2::mad2::mad2: I used Permatex "make a gasket", and will never again... Now, I have to pull the oil pan. Anybody has already done that with the engine inside the bay? We are willing to do that by looseneing motor mount and...

My rebuilt 506 is less 1 000 kms. Does work fine, though I saw almost quick that some oil is leaking a t cyl # 2, at the exhaust manifold. No blue smoke at the exhaust tip, just a smell of burnt hot oil in the engine bay. We changed the stem valve seals. Could we have broke one? Could...
