If that’s the case, you can take the Schrader valve out, clean it with brake clean, dry it and then put some 134 a oil on it and reinstall it to see if it stops leaking, or just replace it with a new Schrader valve.
apparently, your truck has been converted from R12 to R134a as the fitting you show in the picture is for R134 a
Is it leaking from the thread where it screws in or is it the Schrader valve leaking inside the fitting?
Check the rubber boot between the door and the body, sometimes the copper wire will break, but still be connected with the rubber coating.
Last summer, I fixed a friend of mine’s 2008 Silverado same problem three wires in the rubber boot were broke if you reached in and grab the rubber boot and...
Not sure if this will help your problem, but it sounds like a similar problem I had with mine a few years ago pretty much doing the same thing it turned out to be the temp sensor in the top of the intake not to be confused with the temperature sensor that is in the head.
After replacing the...
Not sure if this will help with some of the problems you are having in your Cluster as it is from a 1992 C1500

replaced both neoprene hoses. Problems solved..
LKQ has a search engine on their website if you would happen to have any of those salvage yards in your state.
It’s easy to look up the year and model to find out if they have any instead of going to the yard itself and not finding what you’re looking for.
With the cam that you are using? Do you foresee any issues with the stock computer?
Or is there a prom that can be changed in the computer to accommodate the cam?
Wow, you have a lot of work ahead of you to get that all back together especially with the messed up wiring.
Hopefully you’ll be able to find some of the original wiring to put back that has been all chopped up.
And while you’re at it if your 1990 has moon gauges in it, you should look into the...
After doing some research, I find Timkin bearings are made in the US and also China. Guess we’ll have to start looking closely at the box to see what country it was made in.
also, checked into SKF and they’re bearings are made in about 12 different countries, including the US.
Thanks for all the input from everyone,
Richard,
Thank you for the part number I checked on Amazon and ordered that for $10.38 delivery should be this Friday. We’ll see how it works. :)
Looking to find a nice oil filter wrench that will fit into the tight area of the LS motor with the stock aluminum oil pan.
preferably one that will slip up on the oil filter and you could use a 3/8 or half inch drive ratchet to remove.
The ones I have here at my garage work great on a small...
