94 k1500- never ending

[camok10]

well, i traded my stepside for this truck and now i think i should probly rebuild the motor because after 70 mile's of driveing it my oil smell's like a gas tank (and i changed it when i got it). so i guess that make's this a new project. i cant be to mad, i traded a truck with a bad tran's for it

94 k1500 ext cab short box, it got the usual 350/4l60e/241 combo with 373 gear's. it's also got 17" micky thompson classic lock's with 285-70-17 bfg at's. i turned up the t.b's a little to fix the monster rake it had to the front. that's about it nothing to fancy. dont think im going to lift this one just fix the motor and drive.

Lookin' good! You need to just break down and get a 2500! Enough of the half tons, they don't hold up anyway!

3.73s were NOT with towing packages. One of my 1995 has towing package on it with 3.42 gears.

camo does that have a 14 bolt rear? If you you heavy-duty chassis truck.

The 3.73 came on every truck that was built with a 3.73.  That's it. it wasn't an option tied to a hitch or 4x4 or anything like that.  it was probably seen most common with a factory hitch, or with other options common with heavier trailering equipment, but it wasn't necessarily installed on all of them.  most likely 3.42 was the most common gearing because it allows a little tow power and a little bit of fuel economy.

maybe linkage problem with the reverse?? and probably full tune up will help the mileage

no i think it's a problem with the engagement but it still work's so im not going to worry about it right now

and since i started a new job last week, im throwing around the idea of a 6" rough country lift and some 33's




also got a sticker for it from B.D. at the 52 bog in perry last weekend. thank's B.D.

[Kyle]

y do 33s when u can fit 35s? 6 inches will easily clear em!

[camok10]

I drive 120+ mile's a day for work now and 35's suck with out regearing. plus im going to try and keep this out of the mud for the most part

[Kyle]

regearing is a small price to pay for the gas mileage ud save...
