    Door latch mechanism functions? Parts blowup?

    Yea, I had everything removed from the inside and I had the access plate also completely removed when I was trying to fish out the latch. But since the window crank and window frame was attached to that plate, I put everything back together temporarily when the wind latched the door. I only...

    Cracked, NEW AC Delco water pump

    Wow, thats too bad to hear, AC Delco Gold is my go-to for most Rock Auto orders. I thought they were better than this. I've never had any problems with them, knock on wood. Maybe try a warranty pump first? Welcome BTW, you should post an intro thread with truck pics

    Door latch mechanism functions? Parts blowup?

    1989 K1500 SCLB plow truck. The drivers side door has no electronics... manual locks, crank window, mirror, etc. The problem started last fall, the inside door handle stuck in the open position and the door wouldn't latch. It was like this all winter but being a plow truck I just dealt with...

    Trackmotive CV joints.

    Also, I noticed your original search was for a 1999 Tahoe, try 1998 instead next time just to make sure your not getting GMT800 parts.

    Resurrecting the snow plow

    That makes more sense, being at 6400ft. Are you going to keep the plow for winter? Or are you just wanting a 4wd truck? If your going to keep the plow then you dont want to lift it, you'll end up breaking stuff. Thats a pretty sweet setup you have, its a newer Meyer with what looks like a...

    Are the coolant temp sensors the same?

    They are not the same sensor. The easiest way to tell when getting a replacement from the parts store is the one by the T-Stat for the ECM is 2-pins and the one on the head for the gauge only has 1-pin inside the plug housing. I tried looking up part numbers for these but nothing seems...

    1998 push 3 button 1500 stuck in 4low.

    I had a similar situation on a 2000 S10 Blazer. Just to baby it through the winter I found that if you press the desired range then turn the truck off while its blinking and start it back up a few seconds later it will finish the cycle and end up in the range that was blinking when it was shut down.

    Mysterious radiator hose connection

    That would have been good to know on the first post. If its a GMT400 body then it was built in 1998 and just carried over to 1999. I'd bet you got the wrong radiator, check if its the same part number for a 1998. In the future, order parts for a 1998 instead.

    Why Hallo!

    Welcome! Nice rig. And yea, anything is possible with skills and budget but generally a 350 of the same era is the cheapest and easiest otherwise you could consider a 454 swap also. Also not too difficult especially if you keep your eyes out for a wrecked donor truck.

    Mysterious radiator hose connection

    Replacement radiators are made universal so they dont need to make multiple different part numbers depending on what options a vehicle has. So they come with extra fittings and stuff that doesnt effect the function if its not being used.

    Fan constantly running

    Yea, I think you have aftermarket electric fans installed by a previous owner. Who knows how they wired them up.

    3rd or OD in the mountains

    3K trailer, dont worry about it. Run it in OD... it'll downshift if it needs to. Your drivetrain (not suspension) is built to run a 10,000lb GVW Dually with a bed full of bricks. If it was a 4L60, I'd say go to 3rd in the hills. And yea, for any 1996+ truck I'd recommend getting the trans...

    Stalling When Pulling Away From a Stop

    Good to know L31, thanks. Just shooting out ideas here

    Stalling When Pulling Away From a Stop

    The TPS may not be completely faulty, possibly just worn where the two meet... if the throttle shaft spins before it engages the TPS, it wont give any more fuel.

    Ticking tapping noise

    More details please... What exactly were you 'messing with' in the valve covers? Unless you found one rocker that was loose, there's nothing to fix/adjust on hydraulic lifters. And if you found a loose one, there are more problems coming very soon. And how loud is the ticking? Con you hear...

    Stalling When Pulling Away From a Stop

    In my experience when an EGR goes bad, it will not idle. I second the TPS idea

    Tie rod ball joint question.

    up and down movement, no its bad Twisty / spinney movement, yes it normal. Most have a hex or torx on top to keep them from spinning until it seats in the hub

    Yeehaw

    Nice! Welcome! Im surprised it doesnt have a notch already, you have to be tapping the frame on bumps. There have been a couple threads about people trying to half-a$$ a notch and end up folding the frame, please do it right and take the bed off, remove the leafs and support everything with...

    Parking Brake Stuck or?

    Unfortunatly the common way to solve a rusted parking brake cable is to cut it off at the drum. Cut it off with a hacksaw or cutoff wheel, something that wont pinch it and keep it from releasing. Then spray penetrating oil inside the cut brake side cable if it doesn't immediately release.
