I see nothing I hear nothing
I rediscovered how much I hate a GM starter and removing the "S" wire. It's even worse on this truck with all the heat shields in place.
Today I started pulling the engine out of my 90 C1500. It's a 5.7 that has the heads leaking and the intake is also leaking. In addition the rear main crank seal is pouring out oil. If it were one or the other I would have left the engine in place.
I hate GM starters and the damn "S" terminal.
Having "trouble" with the bolts the PO used on the shorty headers to fasten the headers to the "Y" pipe. It's hard to get a wrench on the top side to hold the head of the bolt. He also deemed it necessary to use lock nuts, making it doubly difficult. I will be tak welding some nuts on the top side of the header flanges while they are out. That will fix that issue!
As much as I do not like Fords at least Ford doesn't have that damn "S" terminal on their starters.
Getting all the wiring and connections removed was a piece of cake. Not really much to take off. I do need to rent a power steering pump pulley remover. Kind of a dumb design IMO.
Spent more time getting that damn wire of the "S" terminal on the starter than any other thing.
Been a long time but was able to pull the hood all by myself. Did it on my 66 GTO all the time. But then that engine came out in 45 minutes.
Oh, by the way did I mention how much I hate that FRICKING "S" terminal on GM starters????
