    1989 radio suggestions

    They have a few direct replacements for the legacy control head too. https://www.crutchfield.com/g_370850/Custom-Car-Stereos.html?tp=49934 Browse around and you'll find they also have single-DIN heads with double-DIN sized screens that will fit into your cassette player/trash slot underneath the...

    OEM Caps for '88 w/Steel Wheels

    Sorry, don't have the numbers. My '89 came with those awesome hubcaps (sarcasm implied) when I bought it brand new. Here's a pic. From the dealer pamphlet for an '88.

    Driveshaft yoke comparison between 4L60E and TH400

    Beware of ones with the infamous "vent hole." I had one dump out 2 qts., luckily just sitting in the driveway. After my motor's 500-mile oil change, it somehow decided to mark its spot overnight! Had to go "Dr. Pimple Popper" on the junkyard rescue of a non-vented one. I did a search here and...

    A/C compressor not cycling on

    Yup, I'd say replace everything for warranties and peace-of-mind. My Granddad used to put a couple of candles on the dash, go back inside and eat breakfast. He'd go back out and the truck would be warm and the windshield would be defrosted. Of course, the windows were the A/C back then too. A/C...

    Replacing the bed, RCSB

    You might think about cutting a hole in your new bed for access to the fuel tank's guts and cutting a cover for it from the old one. Makes life a little easier than wrestling with dropping the tank. Saved me a lot of work when my AutoBone Fuel Pump's "Lifetime Warranty" was very short-lived! I...

    No brake lights. Brake light circuit diagram needed.

    If you do have to go upside down and sideways under your dash again, you should take a look at the Neutral Safety Switch (plastic) too. Mine disintegrated when troubleshooting my Reverse Lights not working. I just looked at it wrong! It was the problem for not getting power back there. Oh well...

    No brake lights. Brake light circuit diagram needed.

    Here's a link to manuals with wiring diagrams "hatzie" posted years ago. https://www.gmt400.com/threads/88-95-service-manuals.43575/ I didn't check the links to see if they still work, but I can send you screenshots from the ones I downloaded if need be.

    1989 gmt400 Wrangler Edition?

    Off the lot. Bare bones. Just A/C and a gigantic gas gauge! Bought it for traveling with my dog and toolbox. I was a migrant aircraft mechanic for years. Pulled the hubcaps after I lost one.

    1989 gmt400 Wrangler Edition?

    Hey, I resemble that remark! I have a '89 Half-Sucked Atomic Fireball Texas Border Edition! It's the only truck I've ever bought brand new.

    AC stopped working

    Bigger/larger is better for the 134 due to the molecular size difference with R-12.

    Just down the road. Yep, Arc-Rite Welding is still pumping stuff out!

    AC stopped working

    The Orifice Tube usually comes with the o-ring already installed in a sealed bag. You'll need 2 more o-rings for the Condensor Line connections. Lube them all with PAG Oil. You're probably gonna have problems down the road, if you install new parts as-is, since that leak-stopper crap was used...

    AC stopped working

    You got that right about the desert! I just changed out almost everything (Compressor, Condensor, Accumulator, Orifice Tube, Hi/Low Press. Hoses, Switches) just to be on the safe side and to cover the parts warranties on my '89 when the original Harrison R-4 gave up the ghost after 32 years. My...
