I saw that thread, I have a 94, so TBI, are the bolt patterns the same as my alternator?

Ah I understand. Where is the resistor itself located? If it’s cheap and easy enough might as well do that too.Most likely the blower motor resistor, BUT likely caused by the elderly blower motor. As they age and start to drag it puts more strain on the resistor causing it to heat up. Low setting most likely burns out first. A new resistor will likely work for a while but ultimately you will need the motor. I'm facing that one myself. Good luck !

Where do you guys ground an aftermarket radio in 95-98 interior? I don't see anything metal in there.
You splice the aftermarket adapter into the harness that plugs into the factory radio. It is color coded and you have to match wires. Presumably one of those is a ground. All I know is that I plugged it in and all the speaker lines worked and the radio powered right up. If you didn't have a working radio previously be aware that all 4 speakers are likely shot. All mine were, not a peep from any of them. Replace the speakers when you add the new radio and you should be in good shape. Sure is nice to have bluetooth speakerphone in an old truck.
Ground is in the harness, I don't remember which color but like you said they are labeled
And I agree on the Bluetooth; I bought my girlfriend a Bluetooth/hands free radio for her birthday and put it in her Tahoe, She loves it.
Almost makes me want to put one in my truck, but I like my Kenwood head unit too much to take it out.
Still have yet to do speakers in her truck; I did mine same time I did the radio and haven't regretted it one bit.
