    help..start up issue.

    Do you have a meter where you can check the voltage going to the starter solenoid? If you have 1 lead to the big terminal (wire goes to battery positive) and other lead to ground, you should be getting whatever voltage your battery is, 12.something. Also check voltage going to small terminal...

    Big 3 Upgrades Questions

    Replaced my ignition switch, not too bad but not a fun job - had to search several stores to find the E4 and E6 Torx sockets needed. Well, that didn't fix it but sooner or later probably need to be done anyway. Yesterday I replaced my neutral safety switch (which was a very easy task) and that...

    Starter issue

    Check for voltage on the small terminal on the starter solenoid (with someone turning key to start). That was my problem but it started sometimes and sometimes wouldn't. When it would not start that was the problem - no voltage going down the purple wire/small terminal of the solenoid. I...

    Starter issue

    1997chevydriver is right on. I'm no expert but have been fighting intermittent starting prob for a while. Going to replace my ignition switch this weekend. While you have starter off hook a meter up with one lead to the ignition wire/one to ground then have someone turn the key to start and...

    No and was pretty sure it wouldn't, but I cleaned up my old wiring (slightly corroded and with poor crimp connections, etc), learned how it was wired and how it worked, corrected the set up and added larger, clean wire and more grounds - so it was good. Next step - ignition switch.

    Big 3 Upgrades Questions

    Got this done today. I didn't use any fancy wiring or terminals (or really big wire) just a bunch of 2ga from AZone. Replaced ALL wiring from both batteries: On my starting battery I grounded to body, block and frame. On my aux I grounded to frame and firewall.

    Big 3 Upgrades Questions

    I am still having intermittent sarting problems, think now it's a switch since I can run a wire from batt positive to ingnition side of starter solenoid and start car when this happens. PO had installed a dual battery set up (with isolator, etc) and I took all of that out plus every wire going...

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    After several visits to local JY's and waiting longer than I could stand it I settled for some good leather seats from a 2004 Buick Rainier ($150) - I figured for that price "I'd make them work". Going to be a big pain making some brackets for a couple of reasons such as both sides of the seats...

    No start

    You probably know this but remember to disconnect battery when you remove starter.

    Starter interchange

    Reviving older thread but was wondering if anyone knows of a similar interchange from an NBS that would match a 1997 7.4L?

    Newbie question - hole in transmission?

    Here's a pic (it's more on the driver's side and almost all the way up to the oilpan.) I think you can see it in the pic. Doesn't sound like a big deal so I'm not going to worry about it, just trying to learn as I go.

    Newbie question - hole in transmission?

    Well after a few minutes of thinking a plug came out and I have been running without fluid, I checked the fluid level and it was fine then web check found a few people mention GM been putting the holes there for a long time - I just really wanted to make sure it isn't something I am supposed to...
