    1995 no brake lights

    Mine turned out to be an issue with the pushrod. I made a shim from a scrap of aluminum and inserted in between the cam on tne pushrod and the plate in the switch. Have been working flawlessly since.

    1995 no brake lights

    Bulbs and fuses are good. And cruise disengaged just fine last night. Which led me to believe switch was doing its job. Oh, trailer brake controller doesn't work either. Where do i look next?

    TBI diagnosing, stumped

    You may be onto something with the icm, judging by the symptom list. At least a partial failure. Ive only ever had them fail to no spark at all. As far as the high counts, no other odd data. Cts is reading realistic values, in a linear fashion. No high blm counts, and voltage sensor reads...

    Gmt800 electric fans mounting

    Any idea why? Is it a van thing? My truck gats used for truck stuff in summer in north Carolina. 100+ some days, 99.999% humidity. However, most i pull is a car on an open trailer. Usually its a dolly, flat tow, or lawnmower to the church/folks place/scout hut. And thats only occasionally.

    drivabeater 4.0: what i should have built last time.

    so, i apparently put the mother******* flexplate in backwards. no wonder it seemed like the bendix drive in the starter coincidentally started to fail. so i get to pull the whole thing back apart. hopefully i can do it without too much hassle, but im not hopeful. ****.

    C2500 ExtSBDD build.

    Ive run urethane bushings in many many things over the years. Dailys, race cars, trucks, muscle cars, etc. These days, on non-performance driving or all out race cars, i stay rubber. No squeaking noise, reduction in NVH in the interior, longer life. That being said, they DO make a handling...

    drivabeater 4.0: what i should have built last time.

    went ahead and got the long tubes in next. The drivers side fell in, passengers put up a bit of a fight but finally went in with brute force and leverage. Got the copper gaskets in, and the insulation on the plug wires. Getting all the header bolts in was definitely tough, especially with carpal...

    Courtesy fuse circuit short

    I've never had faulty bulbs blow a fuse, but it makes sense in theory. And not something I had thought to check yet. I have checked the wiring along the channel beside the door, but that's about as far as I have gotten. Other than the overhead console wiring that is

    Courtesy fuse circuit short

    So, 95 c1500 extended cab. Since shortly after i redid the interior (did not pull dash) it has blown the courtesy fuse (fuse 3). I checked the wire run to the back of the cab, and the overhead console where i spliced into the factory wiring for bare spots and found none. Doesn't mean there...
