    Loud thunk at idle after coming to a stop

    I have a 1990 1/2 ton Silverado. It has been doing that since I bought it brand new. Not all the time, but, often. I have always been told it's normal.

    A/C Compressor worthless now because of electrical design??

    Hey Everyone! I have searched the site over and can't find anything on this particular A/C problem. My serpentine belt slipped off last week because of a belt tensioner going south. That's an easy fix and it's done. But, when the drive belt came off it whipped the electrical connector on the...

    Brake goes to the floor and abs kicks in on turns

    Hey John. You said it started right after you installed the leveling kit. Are you sure the brake line is not kinking when you turn?

    Spotted Windshield

    Before you do that, try a clay bar on it. Those things are amazing!! It took over spray off my paint that even acetone wouldn't touch.

    Interesting issue..

    I am the original owner of a 1990 SWB, same tranny. Before someone talks you into opening the transmission check the Modulator Valve and the Governor. If the valve is leaking, it will show up by dripping off the pan. Change it out! It's about 8 bucks and one 1/2" bolt holds it in there. Very...
