    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    Putting aftermarket chrome valve covers on my 4.3L. Do I need to purchase grommets for the PCV holes in the covers? Is this something that could be re-used from the stock covers?

    Manual transmission fluid

    Apparently, when they called carquest for fluid, that is what carquest gave them. It was GL4 80w90 gear oil, which is used in the heavy duty 4 speed and heavy duty 5 speed. There must have been some confusion when they called them. anyways, I took it back and got the right stuff from GM.

    Manual transmission fluid

    Thanks guys. Everything I have read online says not too use 80w90. I'm assuming the read something wrong when they looked this up. You would think a transmission shop would know this. I am going to return it and go to GM and get the proper fluid.

    Manual transmission fluid

    hey everyone, What type of fluid does my transmission take? I just had it rebuilt and they gave my 80w90 for the transmission and atf for the transfer case. My transmission is an hm290 or 5lm60. Just spent a lot of money getting this built and I want to make sure I put the right stuff in it.

    Mouse Nest

    I think I'll try this. HAven't found any droppings, just nest material, seeds, etc. Once I killed them they were never back. AS a side note, I removed my transmission yesterday and there was seeds in the damn bellhousing!

    Headliner

    thanks oldblue for the procedure. Before I can tackle this though, I have to get the existing fabric off of the good headliner board I have found. There is no sag or anything on this board, so I am wondering how to remove it. I'm worried about damaging the fiberboard underneath.

    Headliner

    Hey everyone, The headliner in my truck is shot. I had it out and attempted to re-bond the material to the board but the board is in too poor of shape to re-use. I stumbled upon a headliner in good shape out of a 1998 truck. The only problem is, the color is red and my interior color is...

    Snapping Noise

    No. COuldn't tell you the last time they were changed... I noticed a ripped boot on one side.... If this was the case would they not snap in 2HI as well?

    Delay Wipers

    Yeah, that's all it has. Kind of a strange setup. I haven't looked at it in depth yet, just trying to get an idea of what I may need to do the switch over.

    Delay Wipers

    HI Everyone, I have a 1989 Chevrolet K-1500. My wiper setup has always got on my nerves, I only have low/high and off. I would like to put intermittant wipers in my truck. What do I need? New motor or just a controller? Obviously I will need a new wiper/signal lever. Has anyone done this...
