    Have to crack throttle to start when cold

    Hi all, 1993 Sierra, 305 TBI, 135K. Truck runs well, but when it's "cold", aka sitting for hours/overnight, if I turn the key, it will start and die. In order for it to actually start and run, I have to crack the throttle just a tad with my foot. Then it starts, and "catches" and runs fine...

    (2) 88-94 Garnet Red Cassetrte Bezels

    Hi all, Cleaning out some old parts I'm not sure why I ever really kept. Two cassette bezels in Garnet Red. Both in good condition, one will require you to pull the little vent springs out of yours and swap. $20 for the good one, $15 for the one needing springs, shipping included.

    Intermittent No Start...Starter?

    Hi all, Every now and then (although it's getting a bit more frequent) when I go to start the truck, I'll turn the key to "Start" and all I get is a metallic click/clunk. It sounds like the starter solenoid, perhaps. It doesn't sound like a relay. Of course, the starter does nothing. I'll...

    My Next Truck, give me your opinions.

    Hi all, I've been doing some thinking. While I don't intend on selling my GMC anytime soon, I'd been pondering what will come next when the time does come. I really prefer the 91-94 interior. Ideally, it will be a 1993 GMC, or 1994 GMC which I will then swap a 88-93 grille on. I like the...

    Aluminum Wheel Clearcoat Failure?

    Hi all, This has been bugging me for awhile, and I figured I'd mention here, since everyone is fairly well versed on these trucks. A few years back, I got a set of NOS aluminum wheels, for the 92-95 trucks. When I got them, I thoroughly washed them, clay barred them, and sealed them with...

    WANTED: Delco Radio Amplifier 16147065

    The part # is 16147065 . It's for the AM/FM Radio w/ Cassette and Graphic EQ. Mine just popped a capacitor today, and I haven't a spare (I don't think) to swap one from. Does anyone have one sitting around they don't need and would be willing to part with? I swear, this will be my 5th one...

    HVAC box leaking when A/C is running

    Hi all, The black HVAC case under the dash to the left of the blower motor steadily drips from time to time when the A/C is running on MAX. It's dripping from the rectangular box just to the left of the blower motor. It's not so bad that it is flooding the carpet, but it's enough that I don't...

    Bad Fan Clutch? If so, which is the right one?

    Hi all, Flushed the cooling system in the truck today, and noticed when "burping" the system I suddenly had no cold A/C at idle, and the engine temp was ever-so-slowly climbing. The radiator fan wasn't spinning, but I didn't worry as the engine was still cooler at the time, figured it...

    A/C Compressor bogs down engine

    Hi all, I've noticed recently that my AC is beginning to short cycle (10 second bursts) which I know is because I'm a bit low on R-12. (The fact that I am running it when it's in the 50's and 60's may contribute also. ) That being said, whenever it kicks on, I notice a drop of about 200...

    WANTED: Garnet Red Bench or 60/40 Seat

    Hi all, As some of you know, a few years back a bit of hydrogen peroxide leaked out of a bottle and ate away about a 1x1 square of fabric on my bench. The backing is fine, but the seat "velour" is gone. If anyone near Surry, VA 23883 has one they would sell, I'd definitely be...

    Pinstriping

    Hi all, While the paint on my truck looks great, the vinyl pinstriping that the dealer applied is now faded and a bit ugly in places. If I buy an eraser wheel to remove it, what are the odds of me damaging (scratching) the paint due to the friction it causes stripping off the vinyl? Is...

    What temps do your heaters put out?

    Hey guys, I've noticed recently I've lost a bit of heater output. I usually have 105-110* out of the vents, whereas I used to have 125-130*. I guess I just need to flush the cooling system and the heater core to clear any gunk out of it, but I just wondered what temps you guys usually...

    One 16" "sawtooth" rim.

    Hi all, I'm in need of one sawtooth rim. I'm not going to be terribly **** about the condition, but I'd like it to look fairly decent. It'll be used as a spare which I'll mount under the bed. I currently have the factory steel wheel under there, and if I ever get a flat, that's...

    Stumble After Startup.......

    Hi all, I replaced my fuel filter the other day, and since then have noticed a "problem". When the truck is cold (and it seems, only when it's cold), I'll hit the key, and it'll fire right up, and then stumble for a second or two, almost like it's not getting enough fuel, or a couple plugs...

    No Torque Converter Lockup in 4th?

    Hi all, '93 GMC 4L60E, with about 2,500 miles on the rebuild. Recently I've noticed when cold, I'll start going down the road, and it will shift into OD fine, but the converter won't lockup. (running 2000 RPM's at 55, vs. 1700 or so). If I downshift it manually and then back into OD, it will...

    Screwed Up The Cooling Bottle Securing Threads...

    Hi all, Last night when I was finishing up routing my new antenna cable in the dash, I had my younger brother screw the coolant overflow tank back to the firewall. Apparently, he crossthreaded the bolt on the left, and in the process, managed to break the area behind the firewall where the...

    What is the name for this....

    Hi all, recently, I managed to snap off my antenna, and the little black circular piece with notches in it that is screws onto. I need to replace that circular piece, as well as the black filler piece that is moulded to the shape of the fender at the bottom, that the black round piece sits...

    Starter going bad, or something else?

    Hi all, My GMC has 132K on the clock, and as far as I know, the starter is original. It works just fine, spins the engine over with plenty of torque and all, but I seem to be having an issue once in awhile. It probably only happens 1 out of every 100 start cycles, but I'll turn the key...

    FS: OEM 1988-1993 GMC Grille

    Hey all, Selling my old GMC grille. It's the same style as the picture above. Will fit all 1988-1993 trucks. The chrome is in good shape in all places except where the rainwater runs off (edges of the hood for example) it's a bit faded there. The original plastic is in good shape, with no...

    Is There A Power Tailgate Mod?

    Hi all, Looking at the switches I pulled out of a '93 Suburban, I can't help but wonder.... Has anyone attempted to do a power tailgate? I could use the factory switch out of the Suburban, and have it wired up so when I hit it, the tailgate opens, and slowly lowers? It might not be...

    88-94 Chevy/GMC Stuff

    Hi all, I went to Circle Auto the other day, and pulled a few parts I figured you guys could use. A set of switches out of a 1994 Suburban, Rear Defog, Power Liftgate, Dome Lamp, and Rear Wiper. The Rear Wiper and Rear Defog switches are in great shape, the other two....were, until I...

    Swapping Needles on the Cluster

    Hi all, Went to Circle Auto Recycling today (you guys nearby need to hit that up, 4 Suburbans, and 2-3 C/K's) and raided a '93 Suburban. I got (among many things) the correct 1993 cluster with the yellow paint between the 4000-4500 RPM range, and yellow paint near the "E" on the fuel...

    FS: ~1960 Clean O Wax

    Anyone interested in some vintage wax? Got a whole case of them at an auction, all are still sealed, and in the same shape as these. All 100% displayable (and useable!) Got a vintage car, and want something to display with it? Here you go! :D I'm asking $5/can+shipping. I do Paypal. :)

    DuPont No.7 Fast Flush

    Went to an auction yesterday, and found a can of this in with all the stuff I bought. People always said this stuff was the absolute best product to use to flush all the junk out of your cooling systems. Seeing how I plan on changing out both of my radiator hoses in the next few weeks, I...
