    Thanks, wish someone else had done all this work before I had to cuss and beat my knuckles up figuring it out...

    brake light help

    Do your hazards work? They share the fuse with the brake lights. If no hazards and no brakes then possible stop/haz fuse 1. Does your high mount stop light work? It's energized with the brake pedal but is independent of the brake relay. If it lights and no tail brake lights then your pedal...

    Need help with a simple electrical switch

    Ok at a guess... I'd say the pad and via (through hole) that is between D1 and D2 is the common for the LEDs and the pad/via by R1 is to complete the path with the switch one way and the pad/via by R2 is for the other. The 2 diodes make a simple half wave rectifier so that the circuit only...

    Help with AC please.

    As you stand at the driver's fender with the fuse box in front of you there are three relays on the far (passenger's) side. The middle one is the AC relay. Pull it and jumper between the closest left terminal (should be constant 12v) and the farthest right terminal. The other 2 are the terminals...

    Need help with a simple electrical switch

    Do you have access to a DMM? 2 poles (1 and 4?) will have continuity when the switch is closed and be open when the switch is open. Use might be able to use these to turn your relay on and off. This switch is designed for AC and as such probably has a little circuit inside to convert that to...

    Help with AC please.

    Ah the ever forgotten ground. Good job. When the blower switch is on hi, the power bypasses the resistor pack, and goes to energize the high blower relay and the power is run direct to the blower. It's ground is the same as the one for the air and temp motors so it's not that. It's power comes...

    Help with AC please.

    Not sure if you can see the actuators or anything under the dash. Looking at my manual, you might be able to switch the controls from heat to cold and see if the actuator for the heater core flap moves. I believe it's on the front of the heat/ac plenum just to the right of the heater core. I...

    What have you towed lately

    Towed this from middle Georgia into the Ozarks and back. I bet this is near 6000 lbs... Oh and 8 MPG...

    tires way off, rough alingmnet

    Can't quite judge the true results right now because I do have some slight play in the right side wheel hub, but my steering wheel is still not quite centered and the truck doesn't quite track straight. Once I replace that then I will try to string again and see. Just judging from the picture...

    tires way off, rough alingmnet

    Have been working on my 97 Z71 that I just bought. It was a farm truck from SC. After an almost complete brake system, trans rebuild, new tires, and just new ball joints, I used a string to get a rough alignment. Locked the steering wheel straight and I was stunned at how far the tires were...

    98 GMC Sierra Fuel Pump Replacement

    Seems to me that moving the bed would be the easiest method. Here's the steps for the two methods I can remember from my 07 Silverado... First - remove the tailgate, remove the rear lights, undo the light connectors and unthread them so they are hanging out from under the truck, remove the...

    knockout plates gone?

    Just posted a pic of the inner hole. So this does not have the knock out plates gone?

    knockout plates gone?

    I didn't remove the control arm just to change the ball joint. I removed the control arm to see if the plates were gone. It also allowed me to move the knuckle hub enough to get the half shaft to pull out. Couldn't get a ratchet and socket onto the upper ball joint nut with the half shaft still...

    knockout plates gone?

    I have the upper A arm off as part of a ball joint change and was wanting to make sure the knock out plates are removed. Can anyone tell from this picture if they are? The interior bolts holes are mostly round with a couple of slits going inward and outward.

    Truck Stalls in the Morning - Help me diagnose the issue

    That's a good place to start. The cleaning is practically free. I also cleaned her idle speed control valve. Not sure if the Cheyenne has something similar, but again, it's an almost free thing to rule out before moving to more expensive stuff.
