    Looking for what might be a "non-standard" serpentine belt size

    '89 7.4L with A/C but without air pump. (I want to remove the air pump). On rockauto.com I see listings for with A/C, without A/C, and with air pump but I haven't come across listing without air pump. So a question is, in '89 was the air pump standard on the 454, or not? I'm guessing it's...

    '89 door pull strap?

    C3500 Silverado This is the plastic strap you pull in order to close the door. It's got metal ends, that I suppose bolt to the door panel ... and one has rusted through. (I didn't find any reproduction parts available such as for square bodies.) Rather than search junkyards for another piece...

    pre-bent brake line ... can't find it from the usual sources

    Seems that if I want to rebuild a truck I'm golden, as full kits are generally available. But just getting an old warrior back on the road? Not so much. Am I going to have to bend my own line? My track record is poor for that. I'll need to whine about it first. '93 6.5L turbo C2500, 2WD...

    '88-'90? How to remove wiper pulse module from wiper motor?

    (The '91? - later trucks have a different design.) I found an image that provides a hint. I can maybe kinda sorta reach that screw underneath. But I can't turn it. Certainly can't see it. And without knowing if it's phillips, Torx, hex head, whatever, I don't want to waste time messing it...

    Seeking: wheel center cap emblems

    I have all four center caps, but only one of them has a bow tie emblem. On the ones that are missing I see 3 small holes, like maybe the emblems attach that way? Or maybe it’s adhesive. Thought I saw some aftermarket ones but am unsure. Got a recommendation? Found a pic online of what the...

    Is there a list somewhere of light bulbs?

    I'm slowly going through my truck and considering replacing some but don't know what bulb type should go where when the old bulb is already missing. Things such as: - the under hood light (the one on the underside of the hood) - courtesy lights in kick panels - dome light / reading lights -...

    Rain guards / vent visors?

    The wife is interested in those plastic things that let you have the window down an inch or so without rain coming in. Years ago we bought a van that had them and liked the functionality although I never cared for the taped-on look. They never fell off, so there's that. As I'm scanning Amazon...

    So I wanna replace my turn signal/wiper stalk, I think.

    '89 C3500 Silverado with Cruise and Intermittent wipers. Today, I turned the key on and the wipers started. The Low and High speed settings work but the Intermittent speeds are all "Low" (non-intermittent.) And the wipers would not STOP without the key removed, so of course they stopped in the...

    Remanufactured trans?

    Wondering if anyone has experiences to share. My step father in law has a ‘93 turbodiesel auto C2500. So it should have a 4L80e according to my understanding. ( I suppose I could crawl under it and count the pan bolts. ) Twice now the trans has gone bad. First time he paid someone $2K and there...

    Is there a way to prevent cab corner rust?

    My ‘89 has low miles and has likely not seen much salt. No rust as far as I’m aware. Other than it being a shitty design that rusts, I haven’t yet read WHY these trucks rust there. There’s also both a ‘93 and a ‘94 in the family, both with either cab corner rust or rust under the extended cab...

    bed rail hooks?

    I'm a little spoiled by my '04 Tacoma's 4 loop hooks at the base of the bed corners. You can tie things down, not merely across. My '89 Chevy came with a Tuffliner; does the plastic liner hide similar loop hooks? (This is my first Chevy truck.) I'm considering something like bull rings for the...

    Tailgate lights on a 5th Wheel tailgate?

    Have not seen this, just making a comment about why not? Consider: -- 1 ton dually trucks come with tailgate lights due to the truck's width, for legal reasons -- 1 ton dually trucks commonly pull 5th Wheel trailers due to having more rear tires -- "5th Wheel" tailgates are sold to make using...

    middle TN here

    The wife wanted something to pull horses short distances. Her step-father-in-law has all the gear but doesn't want her driving his F350 PowerStroke, so she's getting something to get the job done. We found a low mileage '89 C3500 in very good condition, so that'll be it.
