    1988 K1500 HVAC controls

    That makes sense I did swap a newer one out a while ago that I thought had something wrong with the module. It did that very thing started working then flashed and quit. Just figured it was a bad unit.

    1988 K1500 HVAC controls

    Couple questions. Is the 1988 hvac controls different then every other year. Had a junkyard tell me that and that I would never find the controls. He said best bet is to junk the truck if it’s important to have hvac. Mine only works on ac and defrost. Try changing selection and it does...

    overheated in -20 weather

    overheated in -20 weather

    Man scratching my head here. Conditions were poor to say the least out. I had my trucked plugged in all night and when I started it, it seemed to bog down a little but then ran with a whine for a bit that went away. Figured it was just cold. and actually had just put a fancy new thermostat in...

    Coolant going somewhere

    Coolant going somewhere

    So budget built a 5.7 in my 88. I ran it for 1500 miles then rechecked adjustment on my valves and when I had valve covers off there was some build up in rear of the valve covers that seemed to be coolant. Not a huge amount just minor. Wasn’t green but tasted sweet. I had also put in marvel...
