Known issues on the 1993 K3500. Three recalls stand on the federal record. Replacement fuel filters sold for these trucks may fail to seal at the connection and leak fuel where it can ignite; replacement oil filters can seal badly and drain the engine of oil to similar effect; and the automatic transmission can force fluid out of the vent tube when it runs hotter than expected. One owner complaint is logged with NHTSA under structure. The fuel and transmission sections carry the procedures, torque values and diagnostics the first two entries call for.
