    Heater core to firewall bolt/nut?

    What is this bolt/nut/clip called and where could I find a new one? As the title says, it's the bolt that holds the heater core to the firewall. It's a 1989 r3500 with a/c (doubt that matters tho). I broke one when removing it and would like to replace it. I know I could go searching in a...

    Tailgate protector options?

    So would different truck brand/model tailgate pieces fit? Are they all roughly the same size/length for full size trucks? If so, I may just go high up the junkyards around here and make one fit mine. Not too many squares left in the yards around here unfortunately...

    Tailgate protector options?

    Wondering if anyone has installed a plastic tailgate protector like this one but for our trucks? Where did you get it from? Or does anyone have any better ideas on what to use to protect the tailgate when down and being used?

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    Definitely much smoother now. Been driving around with pride now, instead of trying to feather the throttle sheepishly everywhere I go lol. This is my first big block so I don't have anything to compare it to besides my 79 4x4 400 sbc, and I know its no racecar, but wish it had a little more...

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    Just a follow up again... Got it fixed !!! Turns out, the previous owner must have done something with the spark plug wires because cylinder #3 and 5 were switched!?! I replaced the wires a few weeks ago, but when I do them, I switch them one at a time so I don't have this happen... but I...

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    Replaced fuel filter last weekend. No change. Also ran some seafoam thru the intake. Gonna hopefully change the o2 sensor tmrw and will change the plugs and wires whenever they come in (love/hate relationship with rockauto... The prices make the wait worth it... Plus the magnets...) Any...

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    Fuses are all good. I forgot to say that I checked that before making this thread. Still no luck with the CEL but found out I've got a buddy with a obd1 scanner so I'm gonna use it at some point. Pulled the distributor cap and the coil wire nipples were corroded some so I cleaned them up...

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    SES still didn't come in with the ECM unhooked. The wire going from the SES light bulb to the ECM looked fine . Still don't know what's going on with it...

    Check Engine light not lighting up

    Isn't it supposed to light up for a few seconds when you first turn the key on? Mine doesn't even do that.
