Year to Year Changes
1991 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
The 7.4-liter V8 engine was revised, and could be mated to a 4-speed automatic instead of the prior 3-speed. In the 454 SS, that engine now made 255 horsepower--25 more than in 1990.
1992 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
Sportside trucks with the flare-fendered cargo box could have an extended cab this year. All C/K trucks got freshened interiors, and the four-speed manual transmission was gone. A new turbodiesel V8 engine debuted for heavy-duty use.
1993 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
Automatic transmissions now had electronic controls to determine shift points. A flare-fendered sport option package went on sale.
1994 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
Two new 6.5-liter diesel V8s debuted. C/K trucks now had side door guard beams and center high-mounted stoplamps.
1995 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
A driver-side airbag and standard 4-wheel antilock braking came in 1995.
1996 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
All the Vortec gasoline engines were retuned, while the 6.5-liter diesel was replaced with a turbodiesel of the same size. The other big news was the availability of a passenger-side rear door on the C/K1500 extended-cab, short-bed truck, but only on the top-line Silverado models.
1997 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
A new standard passenger-side airbag comes with a dashboard deactivation switch that can be flipped when a rear-facing infant seat is used. The 5.0-liter V8 delivers 230 horsepower, ten more than 1996 models, while the 5.7-liter checks in with 255 horsepower, five more than before. For 1997, the optional third door could be ordered on any C/K 1500 model, not just the top-line Silverado.
1998 Chevrolet C/K 2500/3500:
Chevrolet made few changes to the C/K as it readied a replacement for the 1999 model year.
