While replacing my front shocks, I noticed that the rubber boots on the ball joints were damaged. So, going to replace the boots (not the ball joints) while the bj themselves are decent, which they seem to be.
So, I am thinking
- remove the wheel
- remove both cotter pins
- unscrew both...
All of a sudden the SES (check engine) light started coming on; it comes on under acceleration; after reaching
cruising speed of about 50mph it would stay on, but if I let off the accelerator, the light goes away.
When I got home, I scanned the codes. The codes are 35 and 36.
The PMD is...
So, I did the power steering flush today. I used mobil-1 ATF and a small bottle of Lucas power steering stuff. Using the instructions found on this forum, post by HeartbeatHauler...
When I bought this truck, the a/c itself was cold enough but the air was mainly blowing out of the defroster vents, onto the windshield.
Everyone will first tell you to check the actuator motor, and you should. There are two plastic linkage arms that are flimsy and need to be set back into...
My 95 k2500 has a crack in the dash, to the left of center. I am considering putting a 2 or 3 slot gauge pod like this

Got a 95 Sierra 2500 4wd with a 6.5 td motor. If you look at the truck straight from the back, the driver side sits lower.
I heard tell that it's the fuel tank location that causes this after so many years... So, how can I correct this?
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...
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?
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...
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...
The final goal is getting the defrost door fixed. The a/c blows out of the defrost vents which is a waste and also covers the windshield with condensation in the mornings, can't have that!
So I decided to take the dash out and then see if I can fix the defrost door without taking the hvac...
