    Starting over Maritime !994 Chev C1500

    Rad started again, looks like the seal on the plastic tank is deteriorating or shrinking, it's also still running like crap, so I dumped some copper rad/coolant system seal in it from Rislone, I used it on my 98 Saturn and got an extra year our of the cracked original. I did try to put the new...

    Starting over Maritime !994 Chev C1500

    Radiator seems to have mysteriously stopped leaking, sprayed the tbi out today, seems to be running a little better now, but the engine seems to shake a lot more than i would think is normal, throttle response is lacking too, plug wires seem to be a little long, I'm thinking I should probably...

    Rad is burst in the front, I'll be getting one from a local scrapper I'm hoping it's not over pressurizing through the head but the way it's running i can't be sure.

    Got the plugs and put them in, so far the acceleration issue seems to have gone down 80%, but now the entire front end is shaking like crazy, need to seal up the exhaust now. Crazyness, tracking down issues and all that. More later.

    Cold outside but I pulled the cap and rotor, cleaned everything up, running slightly better but still shaking, going to buy new stock plugs, not sure what's in it, But I'll be able to tell if everything is OK with the cylinders, if not I'll get a top end kit, and i've been told I can have a set...

    Decided since I had some speakers and wires laying around I'd try to get a little more low end out of the stock system until my Xmas present to myself shows up, I tried to make it look nice.

    Started playing around with the current stereo, waiting for checks to come in and such over the Holidays so I can't upgrade, so I pulled the wiring to the External Tape deck in the console, and with the help of one of the Schematics in the audio subforum, wired this up..(An Audio Aux input)...

    couple pics i forgot I took of the progress of the spring hanger fix, I'll take an after when I get a chance. Mangled and sheared origional stock hanger crosscut and drilled, couple taps with a punch and ballpeen and they popped right out. I used grade 8 7/16 with locking nuts to put the new...

    Low RPM Acceleration issue

    Just looking for some input, after reading a lot seems like a timing issue of some sort, but at the same time not. basic info: 350 TBI 2wd starts great everytime, doesn't tick or knock, runs great at idle, same when you goose it, even better at WOT but if you drive it like an old lady it...

    update: So far I replaced the hanger, after 3 tries from the local salvage to get the right part, got it and bolted it on. put the link in found out I just need a chunk of metal to cover the hole in the heat shield, and there's no damage to the floor, (thank goodness) things found out...

    Starting over Maritime 1994 Chev C1500 Short Intro because I don't have anything to post just now. I came here a few months ago with a 91 chev k1500 that I really wanted to build on, but after fighting with money, family, and rust, I gave up on it and sold it to a local who uses the motors...

    flap flap flap flap... what the?

    K any thoughts on the fuel pump not running? I can borrow a relay to test but if there is a common issue I'd like to rule it out first.

    Bad window regulator? Something locked up? Anyone had this issue?

    Try opening it up, and give the window motor a tap with a hammer or blunt object, 50/50 either it breaks the magnets in the motor or it loosens up and works great I did that on a 94 cutlass, never had a problem after that :)

    Maritime 91 K1500 Scottsdale Back to life

    out looking it over today, would have started really working on it but it was raining and I still can't get it in the shop till the bikes are out for the season. (gotta love that winter storage cycle) Noticed I have no coolant in the rad and no brake fluid up front since it moved to it's new...

    I should have taken some good before pics for reference but didn't think of it till after, so here's the old door, if you zoom into the latch area you should be able to see how banged up it is, the pin side has door side holes big enough to put bushings in, welded and ovaled out really badly...

    Maritime 91 K1500 Scottsdale Back to life

    got it "home" today, already ripped the driver door off, the lock was corroded stuck (po never used them), lucky for me there was a spare door sitting beside the shop, good holes for the pins, and a non-broken latch/outside handle, so no worries there, unfortunately the entire inside window and...

    Wiring under the carpet: Questions!

    check amps required (for ALL of them together), run proper gauged wire from spares in the fuse box to where you need them tape/wrap onto to harness and cut to length (possibly use a distribution block depending on whether the heater harnesses wire together before connecting or not), add a...

    Door hinges buggered, got door closed now it won't open

    apologies, should specify, all new brakes all around, frame work has been done, could use bushings but ball joints and such are ok, motor will run once the gas tank is installed, and I'm getting some used tires until I can afford better, truck was only parked less than 2 years ago, and the only...
