I believe my sending unit is bad because my fuel gauge needle is interfering with my oil pressure gauge, it has been reading wrong for a long time. Well now I have some added incentive to fix it because it is leaking $4 per gallon diesel from what appears to be coming from where the lines...

I came out of the store the other day and noticed a pretty good sized spot under my truck and it turned out to be diesel fuel. My Son tried to find the leak yesterday and said it was dripping down by the starter and that it leaked more when it was shut off. I'm gonna try to find the leak later...

If I use 2 stroke oil as a lubricant how much per gallon do I add? Thx, Bob

I replaced the AC control head and now my AC works again. I still have the problem where I switch it to blow out the vents and it still blows partially out the floor, and when you drive it for a while sometimes you hear it clunk and then it blows fully out of the vents. Can anybody point me to...

Mine has been acting up for a while like switching between defrost and heater and hot and cold, now the AC blows nothing but hot air. Last summer started off the same way then it got better and I made it through the summer without replacing it. I know there are several other things that can...

I am thinking about putting a set of 285/75/16 Cooper Discover ST tires on my 95 K1500. Is anybody running 285's on their K1500? Any problems with clearance? Thx, Bob

I was asleep at the switch and overfilled my truck by about 1/2 quart. Should I drain some out or is that ok? Thanks, Bob

I have the drivers side front wheel speed sensor gone bad on my 95. I see them on the internet for like $50 bucks or so for both sides, my Son can get the whole hub with the speed sensor for like $125 through work. I guess I'm trying to figure out if I should get the whole hub and replace it or...

Well my 95 is getting a little long in the tooth with 328,000 miles on it. It still has the original motor and transmission and is my daily driver with an 80 mile round trip if I just go to work and back. I don't work it much but haul some firewood only a couple miles from the house as well as...

I am going to add a fuel pressure gauge and ran across Glowshift. I hear you get what you pay for and Glowshift is quite a bit cheaper that it's competition. Anybody got anything good or bad to say about them? Thx, Bob

I've done some searching and found a few threads on electronic fuel gauges that guys were going to try but I haven't been able to find any feedback on how well they worked out. This is one I was thinking about using http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-26-503/. If any body is using an...

I am still running the factory flat air filter and box in my 95. Went to buy a filter the other day and the WIX filter was $30. I thought at that point that I would explore my options like going with some kind of after market filter and get rid of that big box and flat filter. I wanted to see...

I just replaced my CDR because I was seeing a little oil on occasion leaking out the rear main seal. I was wondering what happens to them to make them bad? I took a look in there with a flashlight and it looked pretty clean, especially for 327,000 miles. I guess I was expecting to look in there...

Can anybody give me the rundown on replacing the Ignition switch? I think this may be my next move with my problem where you turn the key on but you don't get any lights on the dash for several seconds. I went through the grounds and am running out of options.

I got ready to leave work tonight and when I pulled out the truck never shifted. I had to pull over and shut it off and restart it then it shifted through the gears. About 15 miles down the highway it lost power and the lights on the dash came on like it died but then it took off running and...

My drivers side door has gotten really hard to unlock and is worse in the cold weather. When you put the key in it seems pretty sloppy and you have to keep trying it in both directions back and forth and finally it will make and you can unlock the door. Anybody know of an easy fix for this...

The other day my SES came on right after pulling a long hill and stayed on till I got to work and shut it off. I cheched the codes lastnight and there was a 78 - Wastegate Solenoid code. I have been using a homemade mechanical boost controller for a year or so and few months back upgraded to an...

Well I noticed a spot under my truck about right under the drivers seat. When I crawled under it there is diesel fuel on the frame. The rubber lines that come from the filter canister look dry but right after that where the hard lines are connected to a bracket everything is wet. I guess one of...

I'm getting tired of having to reach over and kick my blower motor so I invested in a new one. How big of a pain is it to change and can anybody give me some pointers on what has to come off? Thx, Bob

I have been looking for an F code chip for my truck so I can get rid of the EGR codes. One of the users here has one for me that is a BPAA chip. Can anybody tell me if this will work in the truck in my signature or what I need to check to make sure? Thanks, Bob
