Replaced the radiator just this April. The bottom hose fitting was cracked, no way it could be repaired.

I had that thought too, that there might be a positive indication in that... It is possible. I went through and fixed a lot of external coolant leaks on it. The quick coupling, the crossover, the return hoses to the overflow tank. While fixing all that, I may have gotten into the habit of just...

Hey guys; haven't posted in a while since my escapades with the dash removal and a/c flap/distribution box replacement. So I have this observation about my truck. The pressure in the upper radiator hose seems high. It does NOT build up when the engine is cold; not for several minutes. What I...

I replaced ALL my coolant hoses, removed the "quick disconnect" fitting and replaced with a barb fitting. The radiator is new. The system holds pressure. There is still a coolant leak somewhere. I don't think its the headgasket. No coolant in oil, no instant rad hose pressurization. Does...

The goal is relocating the PMD. I looked at threads that describe what people go through to remove the PMD without taking the intake off and I would much rather just remove the intake. While I am in there, I am thinking I will do the 'gut the intake' mod, drill it for boost gauge, delete the...

I heard a few times that some are a bear to get to but could not find any threads with pictures on how exactly to get to them... is there any step-by-step on how to do that?

What is this? A common failure item to replace 'while i am in there' ?

I was thinking of replacing the intake with the non-EGR kind, but I dont want to spend 100 when I can just 'gut' it with a dremel; I think I will also create a blocking plate for the EGR. I will do the vac pump delete eventually but for that I will need a computer reflash. Also, I think I might...

I have the PMD relocate cable that should be getting here pretty quick... I searched and read the posts that descrive removing the PMD using some contortionist tricks and ground down allen wrenches. I am thinking I will just remove the manifold, which will allow me to do the "dremel intake...

Yeah I know I gotta do the PMD relocation thing... Just havent decided if I can do it all in one evening or if the truck will be out of commission longer than that...

I was looking for something, and came across a thread where people were saying that the plastic cover (the one that says Turbo Power) should be removed and left on the top shelf in the garage. Why? Does it make the engine hotter? Or is it just because they don't want to keep having to...

http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?24601-Removing-the-dash-trying-to-get-to-the-defrost-door-in-my-95-Sierra-k2500&highlight=hvac It really isn't that bad, but my pictorial will only pretty much take you through the dash tilting-forward part; I wasn't after the heater core, I only...

Bob's radiator shop on 83rd and I in Omaha (or somewhere nearby). The guy who owns it, Bob, is an honest guy and I had my radiator the same day and didn't have to pay for shipping, and it was only like $110 bucks.

Step 15. Put everything back together: Rotate the dash into place and bolt in. Reinstall the steering column and metal plates. Reinstall the knee panel. Reinstall the dash bezel. Reinstall the seat and the center console. A few notes on reassembly: - When rotating the dash into place, keep...

Step 14. Install your new valve box. Here is the hvac box without the valve box: Install the valve box. Starting with the side closest to you, then the rear part of the flange will snap into place. Use the three metal clips to affix the valve box in place. I am sure three clips are...

Step 13. Taking the valve box out is somewhat nontrivial. There are four metal clips that hold it in place, plus its flange is fitted inside the rest of the hvac box. This pic actually shows my new valve box in place, but you get the idea. The two clips in the front are easy. The left rear...

Step 11. You can now get to the hvac box and replace the infamous part 52467204 with the two doors in it. I was able to see the problem right away. My defrost door fell out of the pivot hole, its rubber outer gasket is all melted, not a pretty sight: diesel65 is right, the door does not...

Step 9. Let's get the dash out of the way now. Dash rattle stop screws. There are three of those screws. They are right in the middle of the defroster vent. You can't possibly miss them. Take out all three. Step 10. Dash pivot bolts. they prevent the dash from rotating. There are two of...

Step 4. Remove all steering column nuts. There are 4 of them, in two pairs. Upper (further away from the firewall): Lower (closer to the firewall): Step 5. Finish removing the steering column. Remove the air bag fuse (this should probably have been done way earlier). Disconnect the yellow...
