    Seat swapping

    I cant say if the power adjustments will stay, I swapped manual to manual. I would think if the power stuff was already in then un-bolting the brackets from the seats would put the same power set up back in.

    Seat swapping

    the brackets will un-bolt from the bottom of each seat, just swap the brackets from your current set to the new set and ta-da guaranteed direct bolt in. Did this with fiero seats into my sons s-10.

    Rear defrost switch repurposed for heated mirrors

    I installed the heated tow mirrors on my 94 prob about 2 1/2 - 3 years ago and just wired the heat to a nice rocker switch. Never used a timed circuit, have forgot to shut it off a couple times, and like a dummy had wired it to a constant 12v... it heated the mirrors for 8 1/2 hrs and never...

    Low Coolant Pressure?

    Just to add a bit of info on the reservoir cap... I am/have been running a 7lb cap on my truck for the last 2-3 years and have had NO ISSUES at all....

    1994 chevy sub k1500 auto 4l60e broken flexplate

    I had the same issue about 2 years ago, had to separate the tranny from the motor to get at mine. Drop driveshaft and pull tranny mount off trans and slide back on a jack w/boardunder trans pan. Took most of a day to do by myself. Don't forget to support the motor too.

    Pop tester?

    They all acted pretty much the same. Added a shim to one and it seemed to act better, soo I'll set them all and go from there. Got em all soaking again to ensure they are clean.

    Pop tester?

    worked out fine, not sure exactly how it is supposed to work but believe I have it figured out. If I pump until I feel resistance on the handle and then give a good firm pump the injector sprays and the gauge reads the pressure as long as I am pushing the handle (mine are low right now...
