    700R acting up

    1600 RPM at 55mph, 265/75/15 tires roughly 30-5/8" diameter, 3.42 gears. I haven't been able to check the pressure because I can't get a gauge anywhere locally. Even the old timers at the parts store look at me like I'm speaking Greek when I ask for a pressure gauge to read transmission pressure.

    700R acting up

    My big RPM drop on a 3-4 shift seems to a drop from 2100 to about 1600 RPM. This happens most notably when letting off the accelerator at about 55mph. I've never noticed two separate drops and it doesn't drop any lower then that drop to 1600 RPM.

    700R acting up

    So after a few days of everything working fine I'm having issues again. From a cold start sometimes it is perfectly normal, some times I get a few late 1-2 shifts and no overdrive until it warms up a bit. Once it gets too warm says 15 plus miles of driving I get late 1-2 shifts and it refuses to...

    700R acting up

    Well I'll have to get myself a pressure gauge. But for now I pulled the governor. I knocked out the roll pin and got the valve out, it was pretty sticky. I let everything sit in my parts washer for an hour, gear looked good. Put it back together, drove about 15 miles to let it warm up and it...

    700R acting up

    So as is the usual something always has to go wrong. '92 K1500. The Saturday before last I drove about 120 miles total in 95 degree heat, everything was fine, truck stayed cool, etc. I came home and parked it in the garage. About 20 minutes later I went into town and back, which is about 5 miles...

    Washer nozzle replacement

    Thanks everyone. I'll look into this weekend when I get some time, I'm most likely going to try to unclog it and replace the lines for now considering the parts store wants $26.99 each for those nozzles.

    Washer nozzle replacement

    The driver side washer nozzle on my 92 barely sprays at all while the passenger side works fine. I've tried cleaning it out with a safety pin but no luck. How hard is it to get in there and replace the nozzle? I'm guessing I'll have to figure out how to get the wiper arms off, always fun. Then...

    Really good actually. Just about everything is new. Brake lines, fuel lines, exhaust. Frame is really clean.

    It does only work with the interior lights on. But even then it's intermittent.

    I put new door pins and bushings in the other day and it's better but not perfect. I think there are some other alignment issues but it's good enough for now. Also got the A/C working it was about a half a can low on refrigerant. In my experience it's usually inexperienced people charging the...

    Yeah by Ohio standards that's minor rust. Most trucks here more than 10 years old have no rockers or cab corners. These are soft, real soft in some spots but still there.

    I'd be happy to get 4-5 years out of it. Nothing has ever lasted me over 4 years yet, I either get hit in a non fault accident and the vehicle gets totaled or something stupid happens like and engine or transmission failure. For someone who's been working on vehicles since I was 10 and keeps up...

    It's far from perfect but the older I get the less I feel like trying to maintain a perfect vehicle, most people I know have goine the opposite way. It also would have been really hard to turn down a $1600 4WD truck that runs and drives like a 50,000 mile truck.

    What is this!

    I'm not trying to hijack MNorton's thread but I just wanted to say my truck says '92 on the title and the build date is 04/92 but the plate on the firewall says '94.

    Hello all. Newbie here from Ohio. I just bought a 1992 K1500 Silverado regular cab long bed at a dealer auction for $1600. I'm 34 and this is my first truck I've always had older Cadillac's and a couple of Lincoln Town Cars, but I've been around these trucks my whole life. The body has 210,000...
