    1989 fresh air door actuator part#

    I can't seem to find the part number for my 1989 fresh air door actuator (recirc). If memory serves me correct, when you turn the key off the fresh air door is "supposed" to move to open to vent the cab when the truck if off. Then when AC is on medium or high that door closes to "condition" the...

I honestly don't care about the 5 hp that I would gain from the extra expense of electric fans. Which leads to a thought... Comp cams has 3 options for a replacement cam that utilizes the...

    Why not use factory clutch fan

    I am in the process of gathering materials and info before I do my 89 chevy truck ls swap, my question is why does everyone switch to electric fans?
