Thank you. This was a few years ago, but I seem to remember it being somewhere around $500. It's not quite as fancy looking as some of the big name brands, but it's also less expensive -- or at least it was at the time.

That's cool to see those engines in that type of configuration. 4.3? Been around a long, long time and very reliable. Yeah - that 350 is a killer engine. My personal favorite (in the marine industry) is the 350MAG 300HP. It's such a fantastic engine, but still cost effective (relatively...

That sounds like a really cool trip and experience at Merc. I would DEFINITELY enjoy that. Too bad I won't be able to see any 454's (or even 496's) any more. Will - thanks. I always wondered because the tip has a concave feature to it, almost like a reverse dimple. I've since rounded it off...

Glued? Nah, they just get that way sometimes (actually quite often). Very normal. I think I once saw one of these "pick" tools at Harbor Freight (same size/shape as mine). It was a WHOLE lot less than what I paid for the MAC tool (which, to be honest, is actually for some complete other...

Not sure if it's the same thing, or not, but "plumber's grease" is silicone based and safe for rubber (it's meant for o-rings). You can get it at any hardware store. Also be careful with certain types of anti-seize. The most commonly available has copper in it. In the marine industry...

This is the one I keep in my "boat toolbox" that goes with me to every customer that I work on and I use it all the time on my own boat. It's got a pretty long tip so it gets in there quite far. Another trick is to use a slip-joint pliers and twist the hose to "crack" it free - a rag will help...

I had a leaking valve cover a few years after a rebuild, but all I had to do was tighten the bolts down - they had loosened up. Any chance that's all you have to do?

I can't answer your question, but I can give a possible alternative... I have a ScanGaugeII that I originally bought to be able to read and clear codes on the fly, but also figured that it had some nice, extra features. Two of these are an instant MPG and an average MPG (during the time the...

I upgraded my lines with the Lube Specialist kit, so I can't comment directly on the c-clip. But, if it was me, I would probably just call a local dealer to see if they have it?

Sounds like a good plan of attack. Keep us updated.

This was my thread regarding a similar problem. http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?18064-Suburban-Rear-Heat-Not-Working&highlight=HEAT My solution may not be your solution. That being said, there was a TON of helpful and knowledgeable advice given and you might want to read...

The compressor looks like it is angled upward. That's keeping the CDR tubing higher, as well - which is possibly making it hit the hood as mentioned above. Adjust the compressor and CDR tubing and see what happens. I would also venture a guess that you do, in fact, need a new grommet. The...

Sure, no problem!

I think it was somewhere around $20 here. I could send one to you if you wanted. The only reason I knew about these is that I work part-time at a boat store and these were originally designed as a power inlet for boats.

Forgot to add... I bought my block heater at NAPA about 6 or 7 years ago after the cord failed on the one that was in there. PS: I'm knocking on wood right now...

I added one of these into my front/ left bumper. This way the "cord issues" are eliminated. I also, just recently, spliced in an oil pan heater that I got from Kennedy.

This doesn't directly answer your question... but... I'm only going from memory here, but I think my amp draw drops to somewhere around .5 of an amp (maybe a bit less?). Mine's an OBDII, so if anything, it would likely draw a bit more (I think?). Pulling the fuses while watching your meter is...

Once a month... remove the vac line from the wastegate and spray a little WD-40 in it. It will help to lubricate the little check ball in the solenoid. "Supposedly", it makes the solenoid last longer...

I see that LMC doesn't list one. But I wonder if they actually have (or can get) one, just not listed on their website? Their number is 1-800-562-8782.
