    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    Passenger front tire spins the CV shaft to the disconnect. Driver's tire spins the CV shaft, AND the differential guts.

    Light sludge in intake valley

    For AT LEAST 20 miles, and 50 or 100 would be better.

    1994 k1500 wild misfire

    I'd be looking in the service manual for the proper procedure for replacing the IAC. One wonders if it's now messed-up due to the connector being installed improperly. Excellent! Not if it's a compression or fuel problem. You might if it was an ignition issue.

    Radial Play Specifications

    10-bolt axle isn't worth the time, money, effort, or enthusiasm to fix. Find a light-duty K2500 with a 6-lug 9.5" "14-bolt" axle of the correct gear ratio. Scrap your rear axle, refresh the brakes on the 9.5" axle, new gear lube, four U-bolts and a conversion U-joint, and have fun.

    AC issue, loud metallic smashing.

    Have you ever worked on A/C systems before, and did they work properly when you were done?

    Light sludge in intake valley

    Does the engine get fully up to operating temperature? A cold-running engine is more likely to sludge. Make sure the PCV system is working properly. Beyond that, the LAST thing you want to do is to solvent that sludge, and then have the oil pump circulate it through the bearings and lifters...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    I don't know nothin' about 10.5" axles in 2WD. I know that there's so little clearance between the drum backing plate and the leaf springs that two inches less clearance would be unworkable unless the 2WD also have narrower spacing between the leaf spring packs, which would then require...

    1994 k1500 wild misfire

    MAP or MAF? I have no idea how you'd clean a MAP sensor. WD-40 is not the right product for that. Aerosol carb cleaner or throttle-body cleaner, would be more reasonable. Up to 50 miles of varied driving--in town, highway, etc., is what I've heard. Potentially longer than that if it...

    Knock Sensore code P0325 in K2500 7.4

    Or a wiring problem, or a faulty computer. "I" would like to see the knock sensor signal graphed on a scan tool.

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    The illustration on that page showing Bolts 137 and Nuts 136 does not look like a 4WD stamped-control-arm ball joint. Maybe it's a 2WD control arm and ball joint. The 4WD ball joints are shaped differently. (never mind the broken stud.) And the control arm it mounts-to.

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    Pitman arm isn't secure on the splined output shaft of the steering box. I though it was going to be wiped-out bearings in the box itself. Either the nut isn't torqued, or the male--female splines are damaged. Ball joint really does seem to be loose in the control arm. Not what I expected...

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    IF (big IF) the steering gearbox is securely mounted to the frame (bolts not broken, bolts torqued properly, frame rail not rotted) then the steering gearbox is shot. Lower ball joint is toast. No kidding that truck is scary to drive. You've proven that the front wheels are not controlled...

    Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

    On the EBC4, yes. Doesn't apply to the EBC310. Exactly as specified by GM in the attachment.

    ...and verify idler arm, Pitman arm, and the tie rod ends that aren't visible in that video. You know the lower control arm bushings are bad. Upper bushing problems are even more common. Get that taken care of as well.
