Silverado (c/k) (1988 - 1998) | Forum profile

Looking at a 1996 Chevy 1500 4x4 Ext. cab with a 5.7 and auto tranny. It all seems to be orginal and has 182,000 miles. No visible leaks or problems. The interior and exterior are both clean. Truck drives well and transmission shifts fine. I've never owned a Chevy before but I can get this one for $3000. My only aprehension is it has air shocks and trailer brakes that makes it appear ...

I have a 1991 with 19,000 original miles on it. :-) Bought it last october with 15,000 original miles on it.

thanks for all your help it turns out that it was the fuel pump.i never had a fuelpump do that before. the old pump went too 53psi when u turned the key on then went too 0 psi when turned off.the new one goes to 60psi then to 45psi when turned off. thanks for all the replies joe

My brother has a 97 that did that but in both directions. Not fun when your in traffic and the steering just goes away like that. Anyway his ended up being the steering gear and had to replace the whole thing. My 98 did just like yours, just to one side. Mine ended up being a steering sensor in the column which was a easy fix. Sensor wasn't cheap though. Good luck.

truck stalls out at stop lights i need help what could it be?

Well I will be repalcing my 10 bolt soon. I am leaking gear oil on the driver's side. I pulled the drum and saw the destruction. My question is, If I can find a 10 bolt that came out of a Z71, will my axles work in them? Is the C-clips the same? My current one is a 5 lug and I believe a 30 spline count. I love my 4.10 gears, but 3.73's would work. I think I can limp it for a few weeks ...

I have a 96 chevy 1500 with a 4.3l v6 vortec engine. i want to get a new muffler for my truck. i was wondering if anyone could help me choose between the thrush glasspack or dynomax superturbo or other chambered mufflers. please only people who know or have heard these set ups on the v6.the mods i have on the truck are custom air intake and throttle body spacer. i only want to replace ...

I have a 99 Tahoe with Daytime Running Lights. I was wondering if it is possible to disable them? I would much rather turn the heads lights on and off on my own. Has any done this before? Is it more hassle than it worth? Any insight would be much appreciated. Thx.

prob a hole in the fire wall or around the fender area. you will need to get down there to find it. A good way to do it is to pull the carpet up(you will need to do that anyway to let it dry out properly to prevent mold....) then just find the hole and patch it up with whatever. Are u sure it happens only when it rains, cause thats what mine seemed to do but it turned out to be the ...

it does start sometimes but i"m afraid i"m going to get stuck somewhere if i drive it.its not throwing any codes.the fuel pressure goes to 53psi when i turn the key on but as soon as i turn it off it drops to 0. some people say this normal others say it should maintain pressure that the check valve in the fuel pump is bad. any ideas?
