Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) This is probably a BAD idea...

I don't think I've got a cooler, thought they only came with automatics, but I'll take a gander.

Hmmm... maybe its just me then... Ok, I'm planning a flush and refill in a few weeks with a synthetic fluid(versus the generic NAPA I have now-1yr old). I have a better bleeder this time around, that we used when doing my brothers truck. If it makes a difference I'll post up. I don't have access to a vacuum bleeder, but if I could find one for a reasonable price, would consider purchasing one... .

Harbor Freight has a red star commie cheapo bleeder that works well.

I know of a few guys who use their vacuum system on the truck to do the same thing. (they just tap into the brake booster hose with a barbed "T" and a pipe plug cap to seal it when they don't need it. A simple vacuum rated bottle with a high and low cap to evacuate the fluid without contaminating the suction pump is all you reall need. ( A Mason jar will do it if you drill and install two fittings in its lid) Not hard to build and will cost you little to nothing to do.

I have a Vacula vacuum bleeder that I paid $70. 00 for several years back. It is not a great one, but works well for its size and also being a hand pump design.

Nope, yer right. Sorry, forgot you had a manual. Those should do it... .

Just so I can be armed with the correct info, what year make model GM do the wheel cylinders fit, my NAPA guys are a little ummmmm "different" if ya know what I mean...

Besides Boost, EGT, and I'm assuming Front and Rear Diff's, what other guages do you recomend??

are front and rear diff temps needed seems like it would be just like a standrad transmission not real hot would be kool tho

I can't remember for sure, but I think I asked for a 97 chevy 3500

Use that NAPA Part number I listed. Thats all you need. Don't confuse the counter guy with details.
