    88 GMC with code 32

    I purchased a new EGR valve and got it installed. It was Advance Auto Parts part number EGC1114. The actual part did have a N stamped on it and as near as I could compare the two they are a match. So far I’ve only taken it for a short test drive, but it seems to run fine and I didn’t have any...

    88 GMC with code 32

    Went out this morning and did manage to get the EGR valve off without in problems. I tested the solenoid with 12 volts and it clicked so I assume it is functioning properly. I tested the solenoid plug for volts but did not detect any voltage by just turning the key on. Based on everyone’s...

    88 GMC with code 32

    Schurkey; Ok, yeah thanks. I somehow missed someotherguy’s second paragraph regarding that second port being open. Tomorrow I’ll do some more checking to see if I can determine what is wrong with the EGE system. Thanks to everyone.

    88 GMC with code 32

    I appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions. I recently had a serious exhaust leak between the Cat. and the muffler repaired and haven’t driven the truck much distance since then. Could that have been at least part of the problem? Also, I don’t see anything on or near that EGR solenoid that...

    88 GMC with code 32

    I have a 1988 GMC Sierra 305 with 400 Turbo that on longer drives has the Service Engine Soon light to come on, but almost never on with shorter (5 to 10 mile) drives. Once it does come on it almost always stays on until the engine is shut off. I will say that there really isn’t a noticeable...

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    Thatrebelboy48; thanks for the reply. If all I need to do is cut down one bracket and drill 4 holes it sounds like something that would be worth the trouble to have new seats. Guess I need to check and see if the seat I was considering is still for sale. Thanks,

    88-98 Bucket seat alternatives

    I’m considering installing a 60/40 front seat out of a 97 extended cab in my 88 standard cab with the factory bench seat. What all would I need to do to get the seats properly installed in my 88? Also, would those seats from the extended cab fold forward so I could access the things I currently...

    ** 1988 Sierra window felt installation

    I am replacing the inside window felt on my 1988 GMC Sierra and was curious as to how everyone attaches the felt to the inside door panel. The factory installed them using a decent size staple which I have saved in case I need to reuse them but was looking for suggestions on the best way for a...

    Warning Buzzer Question

    Kran; wow, that was really quick thanks for the fast reply. I went out and checked and there is nothing plugged into that area on my fuse block. I’ll try to round one up. Thanks again for your help!

    Warning Buzzer Question

    I have a 1988 GMC Sierra that we purchased in 1999. Apparently the previous owner disabled the warning buzzer. Where within the cab is the buzzer located and what would have been the easiest way to disable it? Is it on a separate fuzz that could have been pulled or would he have actually...
