    Replacing my ball joint dust boots

    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...

    1995 GMC Sierra, Codes 35 and 36

    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...

    Rotate dash, replace defrost door, hvac flow distribution flap box

    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...

    Gauge pod to cover up dash crack?

    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 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Universal-Dual-2-Hole-52mm-Dash-Gauge-Pod-Mount-Holder-/390341629824?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ae22c9780#ht_3193wt_948...

    Uneven rear end, how to fix?

    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?

    Pressure in the cooling system

    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...

    Coolant blockoff plate(s)

    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...

    Intake manifold on 1995 6.5

    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...

    Why do people say to remove the plastic engine cover?

    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...

    Removing the dash, trying to get to the defrost door in my '95 Sierra k2500

    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...
