Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

Alan do you mind measuring your fender heights for me? Just to the bottom of the stainless trim in the middle of the fender? Also those are 285/75/16 tires correct?

Thanks a bunch in advance

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

Here ya go measured from the bottom of the chrome trim. 6"/front and 8"rear. I mentioned before about the suspension lift. There are 2" blocks in the rear and torsion bars are twisted up in the front.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

It's up for sale in the trucks for sale area. Here

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.

I've had my rusty ford for 25. It's almost dead though.:smoke: Can't last much more than 5 more years. :lol: Best 5g I ever spent. I think I got my $$ worth.

Hey Alan -- Dave,.....Joe and Scott!!!! Good to see you !!!
I just bought a 94 GMC Z-71 for my youngest daughter and was just checking this section out.
I have never had a reason to be up here in this "newer " section of the forum..:gmc2:
I was afraid that i would be lonely away from the 60-66 guys.....

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

You really need to get out more.:lol::lol:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

I now realize that post did sound pretty pathetic ......
As for getting out, I was just getting home after the Boise State game celebration ..:barn:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

Ya texting stuff after you've been drinking is never a good idea.:ito:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.

Attachment 834801 Out for a test drive in the desert. This truck should not take so much work as the 64.
On the way home , the service engine light came on with a #32 EGR fault code ---SOB!! I dont get fault codes on old classic iron!!!

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

Drive it on over ill take it ;)


Sounds like just pulling the EGR off and cleaning the carbon out to me, just a thought to check.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

You are joking right, Scott? ;). I didn't want to think you are joking and you are actually serious. :lol:

Bubba I agree with Scott.

Been keeping an eye out for one that is broke that just needs something but by the time i could fix it i could save my knuckles and time and just buy the dang thing :lol:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

the light only seems to pop on when I run it up to around 60 mph. I think you are probably right.
My friend never was a fast driver, It may be full of carbon and need cleaning and an Italian tune-up.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

If you decide on it let me know. ;)

Go blow the carbon out of it. I remember my grandma doing that in here 69 Camaro. :haha:

BTW, what's an Italian tuneup? :uhmk:

About the same thing
Blowing the carbon out at full throttle like an Italian driver.. .
Personally I never met any Italians yet but That is how my friend refers to a "drive it like you stole it " adventure.:lol:

I picked up a EGR gasket tonight, I will pull it apart this weekend and clean up the EGR. I noticed a vac line broken off from the charcoal vapor canister also. I will head to the Pick a part this weekend and score another one.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

Im half Italian so you met a partial :lol:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

He lied he met my wife . She's 100% Italian.:m5::lol: I think she was being nice that day though.:lol:

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
 

I'm wondering if it would be worth it to swap in a 5.3? I can get a complete 5.3 with accessories and harness for $425. Just wondering what other expense would be involved. Fuel, PS, old 4L60 hookup, exhaust.

If there is a good thread where someone else has done it ease LMK. I'll do some searching.

Hard to say Alan. Uniqness probably. More power or value, I am not sure if it would be worth all the changes.

Re: 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 joins the family.
