My first car, an 89 k1500

Let’s just say, I wouldn’t drive around without an air filter either.

"Just sayin' "

YES, look at everything and put the cover back on so it can do it's job.........COVER!!!!!

By the way.....post a link of the noise when you can.

I'll try and get a video tomorrow, and when I have time I'll get some new bolts (there are none) and put the cover back on.

Alright, here's the video you've been waiting for. I finally got a chance to take a video at the NAPA

I know I need to clean the interior too lol

Here's what my new speedometer looks like. Not bad for 40 bucks. I plugged it into my cigarette lighter and the cigarette lighter socket surprisingly works.

And does anyone know a cheap way to get the plastic letters that go in my grill? I'm missing the G on the front and rear.

So do you guys think it's a throw out bearing? It works just fine, it's just noisy

 

[movietvet]

Throw out bearing can be noisy and still work ok. The pressure plate could be coming apart or the disc could also be coming apart. All will work ok, till it doesn't.

These trucks are just a ton of fun and honestly pretty easy to work on. I've had alot of fun fixing up my '89.

When I got my '89 my dad also got a '91 chevy 2500 from the same guy. The '91 had a blown transmission, so we've got a junkyard one we're gonna put in it, and I spent the day pulling the blown transmission out of the truck. It was a little easier than I thought it would be.

I went to the scrap yard today! I got a few minor interior pieces and a few parts for my dad's 2500. I think the best score of the day was my new seat. I paid 50 bucks because the truck it came out of was scheduled to go to the crusher . They are overall really nice, and the split bench will help with my short legs fully pressing the clutch lol. I will have to drill some holes into the floor because my truck is a single cab, but the comfort and adjustment is worth it.
