    Cassette player belt

    I am trying to find out the correct replacement belt size for a 16141425 cassette deck player (5 channel equalizer). This player is the version with three wheels, two large and the smaller motor drive pulley. I have tried a 9.6" belt, but I think it may not be taut enough.

    No 4wd

    I had problems with automatic hubs on my 1985 Suburban not locking up, so I replaced them with a manual lock set from a 1970's pickup.

    Cold case Radiator Swap

    I had to replace the radiator in my wife's Jeep Wrangler this January on a sunny 16 degree day. I have installed Spectra replacements in some other vehicles and they were Canadian made good fit parts. This one came from China and was a little off in certain ways, but works none-the-less. I...

    Suburban overhead console

    After removing the old interior and comparing both consoles, I have come to the conclusion that they are electrically interchangeable. The controls all have the same part numbers and the wiring colors and connections to the controls and pigtail connector are all the same color and position.

    4x4 light on dash

    If the indicator light works on the floor plate, everything's good. There is no dash indicator for four wheel drive.

    What have I got?

    This is a similar truck which I own. 350 V8, TH700R4, 4.10 axle ratio, limited slip differential, tilt column. Yes, it is a K2500 "3/4 ton" truck, with 6 bolt wheels and semi-floating 14 bolt rear end. It rides like a 3/4 ton, and shifts out like one too, with the 4.10 gears...

    Need help finding an interior panel

    That trim piece is the same 1988 through end of the run, however if you want the color to match exactly it should be 1995 or later. The 1994 and earlier grey is a shade lighter.

    1989 3500 4x4 454 in the UK

    Two things I notice from the photos: 1. The carburetor looks to be bolted through a Quadrajet (spreadbore) adaptor plate to a cast iron intake manifold, and the valve covers are the older design where the bolts go through the gasket area instead of through the center. The engine must have been...

    99 Interior to 93 Swap - Manual to Power, No tac to tac, etc

    The amount of work involved in the change over you describe is immense. All the wiring harnesses, the dash, door panels, inner door panels and handles, computer, steering column support, have to be swapped. I am not sure if the HVAC system and anti-lock brake components also do, but I suspect...

    Suburban overhead console

    I'll know for sure when I strip out the old interior and compare the two. I want to use the newer console because of the filthy condition of the truck's original. If need be, I may have to swap the switch controls between them and the also the rear passenger controls.

    Suburban overhead console

    I own a 1994 Suburban and recently bought the headliner with overhead console from a salvage yard 1999. Are the switches for the A/C and heater the same electrically and will the plug ends interchange? Thanks

    1988 & 89 two-tone interiors

    I have seen two versions of this in junkyards lately, one being brown and tan while the other is dark grey and light gray. I'm pretty sure both of the trucks were Scottsdale (mid-level) trim. Were these two-tone dash and door panel truck interiors as uncommon as I think? Maroon or dark blue...

    1988 Chevrolet K2500 78000 miles

    This truck was equipped with the following options (based on what I can still read of the RPO codes in the glove box): fleetside box, stainless mirrors, HD front springs, 4.10 axle ratio, limited slip rear axle, 85A Delcotron, 350 V-8, 700R4 transmission, 34 gal. fuel tank, tilt steering...

    HVAC systems and firewall

    I've searched the site but can't find answers to a question. Are the cab firewalls substantially different between those trucks factory equipped with heater only, and those with A/C? I know in the squarebody trucks there is a significant difference on the firewall depending on which way the...
