    Manual window locks to power

    Ok, so anyone wondering, it worked got an inside panel out of a 94, and swapped it onto a manual door. Funny enough, the manual door rods actually were setup for a power actuator, so I didnt' have to swap the rods, I Just left them in. Put the new panel it, and it all lined up!

    Manual window locks to power

    Hey guys 94 Yukon SLT. Originally power everything. Got in an accident. Driver side door was replaced with a manual window/locks door. All the wiring for power is still there. Is it just as simple as swapping the inside retaining panel, and throwing on my old door panel on? Do I need an...

    Issues only when hot

    Had an issue. It was because my 97 was misfiring. The pcm didn't allow lockup. For me it was an EGR so I unplugged it, no misses, had lockup It may not be tranny related is what I'm saying. Do you have any active or stored codes? My truck was misfiring for a year but the cel only blinked twice...

    E brake light staying on SOLVED

    Hey guys, so I had this issue on my last truck (93). I ended up disconnecting the RWAL black box, and the e brake light turned off. I spent months looking for a functioning black box, couldn't find one, and gave up. So I got this new truck last year (94), took the cluster out, replaced a...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Ok guys. Time for an update For those of you who said it was tranny related, the reason I dismissed this was because it is impossible, in my mind, for a bad torque converter to cause a blinking check engine light I took the cap off, it was covered with corrosion, cleaned it up with a wire...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Oh dang that's an old pic and the only one I have!! I don't have a spark tester. Will ask my friend he may have one kicking around. As I said, the vehicle doesn't miss under load which makes me have a hard time believing it's spark related? Also, the only 'code' was the blinking check engine...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Good post. Very good post We did have a vac leak at the brake booster (last year). I sealed it with rtv. I fished around with propane the other day but didn't find anything. I used a small hose with one side to my ear and didn't find anything. I may check again. It kept dying when she put it in...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Compression test results was 7 were 190 +\-5 and one was around 205 How would I get a fuel pressure reading when it misfires? Also, wouldn't the fact that the misfire is load depending indicate it's air/fuel related? Also, my neighbor insists it's the intake gasket leaking coolant in.... how...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Opened the distributor up last year and the cap looked ok Also, would it make sense with the issues I'm having? Being load related? Going away under throttle? Also, why doesn't the computer store misfire codes??? Does anyone here have an instance where a bad intake manifold gasket lead to...

    Misfire is turning my hair grey!!!! Damn you truck

    Let me know how it goes. Injector? Or injectors? I thought there was one. Also, I looked at the intake gaskets, it looks like if there was a coolant leak that it would go into the crankcase, not the intake system...... me confused

    97 Tahoe 2dr 5700/4l60e 315,000 kms Symptoms: - misfire consistently under LOW load (lightly pressing accelerator) - makes me suspect fueling, injector, fuel filter, pump, etc - goes away under high load or when accelerator pedal is completely left alone (coasting downhill or cruising uphill)...

    1997 Vortex 5700 Stutters/misses

    Hey guys, 97 Vortec 5700 in a 2dr Tahoe. 200 miles. The issues is at low load (under light throttle), the truck stumbles and hesitates and kind of jiggles around. This is also felt at cruising speeds, 65 MPH, also under light load. When floored, it doesn't do this. I initially thought a...

    so My temp gauge is 30F too hot When I press my blinkers everything shakes When I press my window buttons and they reach the bottom and if I keep holding it my speedometer spikes from 60mph-80mph All engine and frame grounds good. Is there an interior one? Fuel gauge actually works great lol

    Brake light wiring WTF

    so I'm pretty sure my truck was an ex Walt Disney vehicle and Mickey Mouse was the primary mechanic. I ripped out at least 3-4 yards of bogus and unused and looped wiring. I've got everything back to stock and here's my question: The main tail light harness. I always thought it was 4 wires...

    It's hot and this compressor is screwed?

    hey guys, I got a 94 with a 6.5 Just charged the AC system and it started leaking profusely. I could hear it hissing so I grabbed my stethoscope and the refrigerant is coming out between the AC compressor pulley and clutch? Steady hissing noise. Are these rebuild able or just get a new one...

    New ignition switch - no accessory

    Key cycles fine. I've never dealt with column electronics but there was an alarm installed previously that I've ripped out. I will do some more digging and check into this. Thx for the help guys!

    New ignition switch - no accessory

    I've never removed one or taken it out. Is the culprit in the cylinder or in the steering column you guys figure?

    The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

    Hey guys, my temp gauge reads high. Is there a ground for the cluster somewhere? Also, my turn signals will play with my speedo a bit sometimes when blinking. All other in engine grounds cleaned. Just need to assess the interior. Thx
