I'm with you on that. the less electronics the better! Its hard to find someone that knows the old school ways now a days, especially in a machine shop. I actually prefer for gas vehicles the old points and carburetors over any electronics. some electronics are nice for creature...

I had ordered the liquid line that goes between the condenser and evap for my 95 but to my surprise I goofed and ordered one that was made for dual front and rear units. it was only $16, but it's not gonna work unless I can figure out how to plug off the extra line port. it also has...

Ok this is starting to make sens now, I was thinking the truck was going to be a daily driver with "occasional" HD hauling. don't quote me on this, but iirc the 4l80 and 4l60's are electrically the same for the most part, but parts are not interchangeable between the two. connecting the...

If I understood the layout on the page you posted, the box your looking for is on the inside of the steel where the silver box in the pic above is on the outside. I don't think you can see or get at it with the column in place. it's buried way up in there!

is there a reason your wanting to go from a 4l60 to a 4l80? if the trans is slipping, your best bet is to have it rebuilt and while your at it have it "Built" for torque and HP's the cost of doing the swap, controller or modding the ECM, modding the drive shaft and transfer case is about the...

has it ever in a previous ownership had any audio or alarm installed or removed? does the drivers door button or rear button actuate the rear door actuator? GM's wiring is funny. if there is a issue at ether switch that can cause it not to function. other than that, I would probe a test...

I was just looking into them. they are a type of flow restriction device. some are adjustable, some are not. but they simply restrict flow so the spike is not seen on the gauge.

do you have the high pressure fan switch installed in the back of the compressor (R4 compressor)? I forget if yours has that style compressor or the one similar to a sanden. iirc on our trucks, one of the high pressure switches need to be swapped out to one that is designed for a electric...

I don't think many folks think much about the acidity concentration in their batteries. I think the reason why they say to just top off with distilled water is for when the water evaporates, the acidity will increase. I have in the past brought some old batteries back to life by giving the...

Be nice if they also had a collar with a grease zerk in the center that would fit in the middle free floating on the pin but fit snug from top to bottom. that would help keep the pin to bushings greased. I do recall someone made a bushing kit that was greaseable with a zerk at one time.

Does the snubber go inline on the supply to the engine or just to the gauge sending unit? from all the pressure spikes I would think it needs one inline to the engine.

is the regulator the type that controls the pump electrically or does it just bypass to flow back to the tank? if it just bypasses the flow, then you might need a snubber or bladder to eliminate the pulsing pressure. the IP is creating the pulsing when it takes in some fuel as the injectors...

Wife took it back out today for work and I got a notification from the GPS I installed on it that her battery voltage was low! she came home and I went to check the alternator and found the side post battery cables loose! Just gotta work all the gremlins out of it in due time LOL

Took the trailblazer out to the coast this weekend for about a 300 mile round trip. it drove great! pushed it hard on the return trip trying to keep up with my son n law driving up to 95 mph!! only complaint was the tires need balancing since there is a shimmy at about 70 mph. other than...

@MrMarty51 sorry we were out at the coast for a fam vacation. your system was very low on 134a. even after you added some and got it to 35 . 185 it might still be slightly low. stick you a dash vent thermometer in the vent and head down the freeway and see if it begins to warm up compared...
