Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
I am going to say you are right on, with the cat theory. From the looks of it, it's got the original cat from the factory.- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
Thanks for all the help my freinds, you guys are fucking awsome! Well, I finally pulled off the driver side manifold, and it has a big ass crack in on it, almost in the same exact area as the passenger side. I'm wondering if there's an issue with something else that caused that? I also have a...- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
I've tossed around the idea of just going to a junker and getting some used manifolds, but I'm really not wanting to struggle with the warping, to getting them back on. I have headers on my 86 with air injection tubes and smog pump, and it passes emissions just fine. I don't see why it would be...- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
It's a one piece bracket, two bolts on ps pump, two on the manifold, and one on the alt. Yeah, since its giving me a good fight, I decided to keep it, I'm gonna dd it. Plus I'm learning a lot from it. My square is gonna take a break for a little while. I love that truck! What I don't like is...- VAL

Yup, got to give you props on that! I got the passenger side off without breaking any bolts. I loosened the driver side bolts, but it looks like I'm going to have to remove the ps pump to get the fist two out.- VAL

Today I plan on taking the manifolds off the heads. I'm kinda worried about breaking another or a few more bolts in the process. What's the procedure on preventing that possibility?- VAL

Do they make headers that fit, the existing OEM Y piping?- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
I was looking at the exhaust manifolds, and I don't see any gaskets at all, on either side. Driver side manifold has a missing or broken bolt. I stuck a screwdriver in there, and I think it broke off in the head. Wtf! If it is, I'm guessing it's gonna be a PITA!!! getting it out.- VAL

It came alive! After changing out the starter, draining the tank and filling with new gas, blowing out the gas lines, new spark plugs, fuel filter and battery, This bitch started up after two turns of the engine, and starts up immediately every time. Its running pretty rough though. It sounds...- VAL

Yeah man, thanks for the advice on the camera. This thing is badass. If you take a still shot, it's kinda grainy, buy on the phone it's better quality. Here's some pics that I took of cylinders 1 and 3.- VAL

By the way, I got a question. I was looking at the starters on Rockauto, and I'm asking myself, why are the new starters with no core required, less expensive than the reman starters that require a core?- VAL

Yup, I did that when I got back from testing it at the parts store, reinstalled it, it turned the engine like a 1/4 turn and then click, click, click. Then I crawled under and jumped it with a piece of 12awg electrical wire, and click, click , click.- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
The battery is brand new, fully charged, and I've manually turned the engine twice, so I know for a fact that this bitch ain't seized. I just want it to crank, so I can blow anything that might be in there out the plug holes. I also went ahead and ordered that endoscope camera for my android...- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
When I took the starter to the parts store, they tested it 3 times, and it passed 3 times. I was watching them do it, it was zero load test. they just hooked it up to 12v power, and a remote switch. the solenoid would engage, push the gear up, and spin. Hell, I did that at home with jumper...- VAL

Yeah, I checked the voltage at the battery, at the starter, and the hot ignition wire, 12.5 volts, and all the grounds. I'm thinking it's still is the starter or solenoid that is working, but too weak to turn the engine over. I just don't want to drop $130 on a new starter and find out its...- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
Gauge was at 1/2 tank, I disconnected the filter, put a hose on it, and let the pump push it out little by little, now it has just a 1/4. I'm gonna put 5 gallons of premium in it and call it good. On another note, I pulled the starter, took it to get it bench tested at the parts store, and...- VAL

So, this is what the gas that's in the tank looks like, still smells like gas too. I got about a quarter tank of it. What do you guys think?- VAL

Just bought a 1995 GMC C1500
Yeah, it was just a thought. Looks like i'm gonna go get that pump from harbor freight, and just manually pump it out, if it doesn't look to bad, I'm gonna put some good gas in it, then do it again and call it good. If it looks real bad, I'm gonna pull the bed, clean it out, and just replace the...- VAL
