    A/C compressor replacement.

    I read that the 95 GMC OEM ac compressor is not what it should be. Is there an after market one that will hold up and keep my drink cold?

    Truck doesn't want to get up in the morning

    It's a glow plug or three, they've never been changed, I can see all 8 from the top, nat asp, I got an over the phone quote of 500$ to change them, that seemed a tad high. 100$ for some OEM plugs, 120 labor and 100 for what ever. Is there something that I don't understand, looks...

    Do 6.5 starters get weaker?
