    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.

    Truck Stalls in the Morning - Help me diagnose the issue

    My wife's car had a similar problem. Would idle on cold mornings, and die when I tried to give it gas or shift or etc. Warm days it seemed fine. For hers it turned out to be an intake leak. Once I started checking for leaks I realized I could hear it. Cold, dense, un-metered air into the engine...

    tips for 4l60e removal/rebuild

    Got my rebuilt trans back today. Yeah, if the rain will stop I can put it back in. The rebuild guy uses the corvette servo as it cures what he says is a sometimes lazy 2-3 shift. Even got a new torque converter still in the box. Man it will be nice to have reverse again. Don't know how many...

    broken bolt in rear pinion yoke

    This is my first older Chevy truck so granted I am new to much of this - but through forum searches I thought there was a specific preload for the differential. The yoke has has a crush washer on it and too much or too little preload with overly stress the internals of the diff, right? Some...

    broken bolt in rear pinion yoke

    No threads sticking out, bolt broke off about 3/8" in the hole. Tried an easy out, no luck. Couldn't get it to spin. I have read some that say cobalt bits will work good and some that say they still had a hard time going thru the broken bolt. For me the cobalt bit was quite easy at drilling...

    broken bolt in rear pinion yoke

    During my transmission removal I broke one of the rear drive shaft universal joint strap bolts off in the differential pinion yoke. I read several threads on other forums that ranged from I'm screwed and it requires a complete diff tear down to you can remove it and reinstall it to the same...

    didpstick tube removal

    Which tools? It seemed that an offset wrench cut down to about 5 inches in length would have worked. I tried a regular bent box end wrench but the angle couldn't get behind the tube to the nut... I tried an offset wrench but it was too long to turn.... I tried a regular 3/8 drive ratchet but the...

    97 K1500 window lock

    I can't seem to find any info on window locks for my year of truck, 97 K1500 3 door. I've seen them in the Tahoes and such. Was there such a a thing for the pickups? My dog stands on the arm rest and I don't want her to roll herself up in or let herself out of the window because she stepped on...

    transmission removal steps

    After trial and error, here are the best steps I think to remove the 4L60E automatic transmission from my 97 K1500 Z71. Total time is probably about 6-8 hours for a first timer that is mechanically skilled. Mine took longer (3 days) as I didn't have these instructions to start, had to backtrack...

    didpstick tube removal

    Anyone successfully remove the trans dipstick tube? I've tried a number of different sized and angled wrenches and sockets and can't seem to get a good purchase nor any turning on the bracket stud nut. I spent 4 hours on this and it's still not loose... What a PITA! What tool did you use? What...
