    Grinding when shifting into reverse?

    A noise just started about 30 minutes ago. We came back from an evening cruise only to have it make a nasty clanking noise once we made it back to the house. Clutch in it would be quiet. Out and it would clank.

    Grinding when shifting into reverse?

    Seems like the first step is to bleed everything. In light of the stock trailer post above, the truck was used to haul a 22'-ish foot cuddy cabin. I have no idea on the weight, but I am guessing 3500-4000 lbs lbs dry. Add fuel, water, gear, and trailer and who knows. 3.42 gears. (The truck is...

    Grinding when shifting into reverse?

    Howdy everyone. 1992 C1500 4.3 with the manual 4 speed plus OD transmission. I am assuming the NV3500 though I am not quite sure. I've put about 250 miles on the truck since ownership. One issue I've noticed is when going into reverse I'd say 50% of the time, there's a grinding noise as if the...

    Grandpa’s truck

    We put 92 miles on old red this morning. Definitely needs shocks. Lol The hesitation is starting to go away I think. We shall see.

    Grandpa’s truck

    Thank you. We adopted her from the shelter last March. She is a terror, but we love her.

    Grandpa’s truck

    Here’s our 1992 C1500 that belonged to my wife’s grandfather. It was his baby. He and grandma used it to tow a 22-ish foot cuddy cabin back in the day. Bought it in 1996 with 50k miles on it. It has just over 90k now. 4.3 5 speed. My wife and I always wanted a classic about our age so here we...

    Draining tank of old gas?

    Before and after. We also removed the front air dam.

    Draining tank of old gas?

    I siphoned what I could and hoped for the best. She fired right up. Drove her around a bit and changed the oil. All is good. The temp gauge only read about halfway and the brakes would randomly lock up while in reverse every once in a while. Aside from that, she drives great. Lol

    Draining tank of old gas?

    FJB. Lol He was spotted the other day wondering around.. that means we will have at least 6 more weeks of his presidency.

    Draining tank of old gas?

    Replacing the pump looks like cheap insurance. Rock Auto has a Delphi for ~$38. (*I stand corrected, the entire assy. is $140.) Likely the OE part or at least the closest thing to it at this point. 10 million dollar question. Do I mess with the truck at all at this point or just drain the fuel...

    Draining tank of old gas?

    The bad fuel funking up the pump didn’t even cross my mind. Very valid observation indeed.

    Draining tank of old gas?

    My wife's grandma gave us her grandfather's old 1992. Owned it since 1996 and only put 40k miles on it. He loved this truck. She's in great shape overall and we'd like to get her going for cruising and home renovation runs. Unfortunately, it looks like she's been sitting for about 4 years with...

    Reman Steering Box

    I did no read all 10 pages of the thread. Lol I’ll have to look into this swap for my 92.

    Reman Steering Box

    I have no idea on these yet as I am new to the platform, but do they have a steering coupler on the steering shaft between the gearbox and steering wheel? My 1997 S10 Blazer had one that was shot. Ended up replacing it and that did wonders to the steering. It's made of a reinforced rubber...

    New ‘92 owner

    Pretty stock as it’ll always be “grandpa’s truck.” It’ll have firewood duty as well as home renovation runs.. maybe the occasional trailer haul.. that’s about it. May put a limited slip in as she doesn’t have the G80. I am a BFG K02 fan as well so she may get those even though it’s a 2WD...

    New ‘92 owner

    Howdy everyone. Always liked this body style of truck. My wife’s grandma gave us her late husband’s 1992. Hasn’t run in a couple years, but is pretty decent overall. 90k miles. Little to no rust. We are getting her towed home this week.
