    power window motor

    Well I got my used power window motor. It came with the whole inner panel. Now do I drill out the three rivets that hold the motor in, or do I have to replace the whole regulator with the motor? Thanks. Steve

    power window motor

    Hey guys. My passenger side power window is inop and I found one for sale off of a 1994. Will this motor work on my 1995? I know this was a transition year for the interior and I am unsure if it will work on my truck. Thanks. Steve

    coolant temp question

    I finally got to installing a genuine ac delco 195f thermostat the other day. My temp still goes right up to the 210f mark, but doesn't go over like it was, maybe because the ambient temp has been lower. I also did the fan clutch mod, but I still don't notice the fan whooshing away. The only...

    headlight polish

    I buffed out my wifes cars headlights last week. I used 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper and sanded the lens till it was cloudy looking. Then I used a drill with a buffer wheel I got from Home Depot and buffed it out with turtle wax rubbing compound (green bottle). They were in bad shape, but...

    DIY Fan Clutch mod

    So what your saying is you pulled the tab out of the slot, bent it in the direction of the coil, then rebent the tab 3/16" beyond where the original tab was? Great idea, I was wondering if something could be done like this. Steve

    POR-15

    I used POR-15 on the floors on my 1985 chevy and it works very well. They say to use their marine clean, which is a degreaser first then metal prep which converts remaining rust and leaves a phosphate coating. Large scale should be removed first with a wire brush or wheel. Applications of the...

    coolant temp question

    Yes, I totally agree on the great advice given here, and I appreciate it alot. Alot of things, especially the cooling system, are alot different than the gassers I have/had. I will go pick up the thermastat and see what that does for me. Thanks. Steve

    coolant temp question

    One other thing. I am still wondering if the AC thermastat has "AC" stamped on it or not. I will pick one up from the dealer if I have to, but they want $40.00 for it. Also, just for testing sake, could I run safely with the thermastat removed to see how the truck operates temperaturewise...

    coolant temp question

    As far an I know it is the original radiator. When I flushed it out, I got some tan rusty looking crap out of it and the resevoir tank. I am going to call around to see about getting it opened up and cleaned out real good. I did clean off the bi-metal spring on the clutch. It had some...

    coolant temp question

    Temp is 195f. I did'nt notice rubber on it at all.

    coolant temp question

    Thats what mine looks like, but like I said, it doesn't say AC anywhere on it. Does an AC have a stamp on it? If it does then mine must be a different brand.

    coolant temp question

    Gotcha. I looked for a brand name all over it and found none. So an AC will be clearly marked?

    coolant temp question

    One thing I forgot to mention. When I first drive the truck for the day, I will notice the temp gets up to about 210f, then it will drop all of a sudden down to about 180f, then after I drive for a while the temp drop is not that drastic. I'm not sure if that is the fan kicking on, or the...

    coolant temp question

    I checked the thermastat that was on the truck and it operated smoothly, but I did not actually test its function with hot water. Is the "whoosh" sound of the fan hard to miss? Maybe I am just not noticing it over the sound of the engine and wind noise (while driving). I did not remove the...

    coolant temp question

    Hey there fellas. I just removed and cleaned out my radiator today because I think that my engine is running a bit hot. While cruising about 55 mph, temp will get up to 210f, sometimes a shade over according to my gauge without pulling a load. I flushed out my radiator inside and out and am...

    Main drive pulley ?? Where to buy?

    When I shut my motor down, I get a squeak sound with a little thud, if that makes sense. I grabbed my belt and am able to see the pulley move about a quarter inch or so without a whole lot of effort. Is this normal or is any movement bad. Thanks. Steve

    What regulates rear brakes?

    You could also have a leaking axle seal. May want to pull the drums and check for oil contamination on the shoes. Steve
