not to hijack but. i have all lights, running and signal. the break light switch is like a 3 position switch and i only get lights at the top and the very bottom of the switch. so a light press and the lights come on. firmer and they go off. slam to the bottom and they come on. and this is even...
so i just got my 97 k1500 ext 5.7 back from the trans shop. i was driving down the hwy enjoying how it could shift between ALL the gears again and i got up to around 95 or so and i heard a loud bang. i looked in the rear view and saw something long and black fly away from my truck. my first...

i was driving home and she died out of nowhere. started back up no issues. but i pulled over and saw the coolant return hose was collapsed. i went to remove the thermostat but didn't have the necessary tools. i was close to home and didn't want to pay for a tow so i chanced it and kept going...
im looking for any info on the recirc actuator for my 95 k1500. i just replaced my blower motor resistor block (for no reason) to find the 12v and ground connection to have melted and was the actual culprit. now i cant get the recirc door to open for some reason. everything else is working and...
