    Full-Page ads taking over forum???

    I use an ad blocker extension when using the internet. Don't know of many people who don't these days. I use Firefox browser and the uBlock Origin extension. Never see any ads when browsing this forum.

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    Forgot to tighten the nut on the alternator cable on our Cobalt. You know how alternators are. They have a stud, you place the cable on the stud, and you fasten the cable to the stud with a nut. Well, as you can imagine, over time, the constant arcing from the loose cable actually welded the...

    Steering shaft slop

    There are two joints that create slop in the steering. One is the rag joint; the other is that joint. There is no longer an OEM replacement, so you will need to source an aftermarket shaft like Borgeson. You can read starting here for more about that joint...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Understood. And I agree. No way for any of us to know who is in the right.

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    A lot of people damage their stock gear box during removal, and when they send it in, they expect to get their full core refund. If you damage something on your gear box, the company has to replace it, including the Pitman arm shaft when you're trying to remove the Pitman arm. They can't keep...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Interesting. Edit: So, I went to GMPartsGiant and plugged in 1998 Chevrolet K1500, 1998 Chevrolet K2500, and 1998 Chevrolet K3500. (I used 1998 since GM produced 1/2-ton Silverados (GMT800) in 1999, right?) The K1500 uses P/N 26100345. The K2500 uses either a P/N 26100345 or a P/N 26100335...

    '97 Steering Gearbox Replacement Guidance

    Edit: Nevermind. I see yours is a K1500. Apparently uses a different steering gear box than the K2500.

    ISO door courtesy light pigtail/ wiring

    There's a 99 manual for sure. I know because I scanned my own and posted the links to it on my Google Drive. Edit: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/88-98-service-manuals.43575/page-12#post-1366872

    Electrical Shorts & Limp Mode

    I would have checked the DTCs before disconnecting battery.

    Curiously the 1999 service manual does not seem to have the connector in it. Nevertheless, found it in Delphic Connection Systems Catalog, p. 58. Connector is Aptiv 12047662. Available at Mouser. You would also need to buy the TPA which is a terminal lock, either P/N 12047664 or 15324070...

    What to look at, for fixing lopey idle and running rich?

    For driveability issues, always check for DTCs first (including stored DTCs).

    Can someone tell me what this part is on my 98 chevy c1500 ?

    To confirm: EVO was first implemented on 1997 C/Ks, right?

    Sounds interesting. Do you know of one that would work with Hydroboost?

    Plug and play. Nothing else needed except the tools and power steering fluid. Check Engine Light will not come on. The only reason a Check Engine Light comes on is from an emissions-related fault. EVO does not affect emissions. Tie the loose connector up out of the way as it will no longer be...

    Electronic variable orifice (EVO) valve. Once the OEM one is faulty, most people opt to install the EVO bypass instead. For example, GM 19168825.

    Micropack

    I did a brief Google search. If I am not mistaken, that connector is a Metri-Pack 150 pull-to-seat. You're not going to be able to remove the terminals. It's not the more common Metri-Pack 150, which is push-to-seat. Push-to-Seat With the more common push-to-seat terminal, the terminal is...

    AC accumulator problem

    AC accumulator connects to one of the lines coming out of the evaporator core. That line is not replaceable as it is brazed(?) onto the evaporator core. You'll need to replace the evaporator core, which would require removing the entire dash and also recovering, evacuating, and recharging the...

    Replacement OEM Wheels

    You can try https://www.oewheelsllc.com/ or https://www.rpmtakeoffs.com/. Easiest way to find aftermarket OEM-like replacement wheels is to find out your wheel's Hollander number, then use Google to search for that Hollander number.

    I believe that would be the connector for the underhood lamp.

    Yup. I forgot about that. Same with the axles tubes on my former Jeep. So, did a basic Google, and maybe it's this stuff that you were referring to: https://www.rudolphbros.com/customer/docs/skudocs/hl228258-tds.pdf Not having much luck actually finding a retailer. Possibly not even...
