:iagree: Ya know, all seriousness aside, this has been one purchase I've never regretted. You can read the whole saga here: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17127 You'll notice quite a few familiar names (the usual suspects ):h ) and you'll get a great look at how folks...

I'll tell ya Matt, that ain't the half of it!! Literally! The cab is supposed to get painted this week. Of course, this is the week for TAKS testing, a series of state-wide standardized tests given to every high school student. Supposedly the guy doing the shooting has already passed...

Don't know 'bout that, but I've sure got some GREAT friends!! :wink5: Seriously, everything about this truck has been great. From finding it, to buying it, to getting it running, to using it and enjoying it. Every step of the way, I've had help from folks on this list and "oil burners" who...

I worked at a technical college and then a community college for the past 14 years, and in both places we've had dual credit programs that allowed high school students to attend college classes for both college and high school credit. Very cool program, plus it really accelerates the ability to...

:jester: Ahhh, I sense a little humor at work here. ):h I'm thinking maybe T-shirts and chocolate chip cookies....

Pretty impressive! Rock solid, usable info within 48 hours of posting. :thumbsup: I love this place!! ):h

You're right Len. My bad. I forgot the gauge was horizontal, not vertical - been way too long since I sat in my truck! :nonod: If you connect the two wires, you're completing the circuit and feeding max signal voltage to the gauge. Now the needle should swing to "empty". Just outta...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Bingo! :D

With the harness unplugged and dangling, the gauge circuit is seeing max resistance. So the gauge should be reading "full". Since it's reading "empty", then either the circuit is seeing no resistance to ground or the gauge itself is bad. If you're going to pull the instrument panel...

Len - I'll look for a schematic. What I have is the GM shop manual set for my 94. GM seemed to rely on drawings and written instructions. I'll keep looking.

Leo - Before you get too ambitious, run a gauge check. To check your gauge, disconnect the lead at the fuel tank. Ground the lead and turn the key on. The needle should swing to the empty mark and stay there. Remove the lead from ground; the needle should swing past the full mark. If the...

Ya know, Wrecker, that's a great idea! :D And i wouldn't hafta rely on a district decision - I could just show up with the T-shirts (and my world famous chocolate chip cookies!) Here at the high school, we have a GREAT graphix department. It'd be no problem for them to design and print up...

Actually, that was the idea behind providing the notebook and commentary. If the school district chooses to use my stuff as the basis for a news article, I'm perfectly OK with that. I'll be keeping a copy of the notebook for the vehicle history and also to 'talk up' the high school program...

The teacher, Randy King, is actually employed by the community college that I used to work for. I've known him from years ago when he taught Auto Body Collision Repair (ABCR) at on of the Tyler high schools and then we worked together for the past seven years, til I left to work for a school...

X2! Last Spring, I replaced my badly cracked dash with an almost perfect one out of another 94 C-series. While in there, I pulled the A/C system apart and replaced both the heater core and the evap core. Also went in and cleaned all the duct work with hot soapy water and then rinsed it all...

Last August I turned my truck over to the high school auto body program. Since it's running great, I thought it'd be kinda nice if it looked great, too. The bed was falling apart, the driver's fender had a kink in it due to some door misalignment, there was a serious dent in the passenger door...

If you're interested in repairiing the valve body itself, go here: http://www.sonnax.com/part_summary.php?id=3624&pl=3 You can see the parts that come with the kit (updated/improved regulator valve) and you can read the instructions (PDF document) and decide for yourself if this is...

Right. Internally, the gas/diesel trannies are identical. Same clutch packs, hard parts, etc. The torque converter and the computer/chip setup determine how the tranny will operate - 'gas mode' or 'diesel mode'. If you can spare the change, get the Automatic Transmission Service Group (ATSG)...

Carbon build-up around the injector pintle indicates injector leakage. The pintle isn't seating properly against its seat, and you've got injector dribble. :eek: If that cylinder were burning oil, the carbon buildup would be shiny. Check that one injector closely. In fact, now would be a...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I LOVE IT !
