Evening and thanks for letting me in. Fritz here from North Carolina. I just bought a 62,000 mile 1990 5.7 C2500 Scottsdale with snowplow (why miles were so low,just used on farm & short supplies runs I was told). I have been looking around the internet on rich running 5.7 tpi motors & have seen suggestions of new plugs,wires,cap,rotor(already done by P.O.) next gonna check the temp.sensor,MAF &TPS but thought I’d join the gang here since I have wanted a nice Chevy V-8 4x4 for decades & while I was “wanting “ many of you were driving and might be able to share some wisdom to head me in the right order. Truck hesitates (like flooded) to start so I cleared the flood like on an old Quadrajet by putting the pedal to the floor while starting. That fires it right up but I have to feather the pedal to keep it going,there is a real bad exhaust leak (hopefully just the donut gasket) so hard to hear any clues,great oil pressure, but smokin excess fuel & filling the cab. Can’t even tell you how happy my wife was to see another project out there belching smoke & sounding like a dirt tracker lol. i am very excited about it though & once I tame it, I think she might even kinda like it (that’s optional though because I damn sure will! Lol : ) Thanks in advance for any advice, also gonna be looking for a reasonable source for door panels,headliner & seat (drivers manual window been off the track so lots O mold to compliment the clouds of rank gas! Ha ha). Has good bones though. Thanks for having me. Regards, Fritz

I'm looking for a radio for my 1990 GMC S15 pickup. Salvage guy found one for a '93 vehicle that looks exactly the same. Did GMC use the same radio in '93 as '90? Thanks, Rick

Hi All, Just set up a profile. My name's Andy and I live in Tennessee. Bought a 1990 GMC R2500 Suburban for next to nothing back in November of 12'. Just now I've got it running good after a new crate motor install, new accessories, re-built the front end, new exhaust and new tires. Also added a nice aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold & K&N air filter. Didn't do it all myself, had some help. I'm no pro mechanic, shade-tree at best. It's still got some kinks to work out so I'll be pickin' brains. Mainly bought the truck to pull a 31' Airstream but It'll be doubling as a camping/bug-out vehicle. Since I've put so much in it so far I'm looking to paint it next and see about replacing the Turbo 400 transmission with something with an overdrive. This thing loves gas. Added some photos to the gallery. I think you all can see them. Anyone else out there got the same vehicle? Thanks!
