AC control vacuum lines
It's four, zoom in. I think either the low or high didn't work. Looks like we can order that switch, if that is the problem.- Sgt Gus

AC control vacuum lines
Ok, looking for this tiny vacuum line. Not local or with LMC? It was brittle where it went through firewall. I can slways splice if I can get more line. 87, pickup, R20- Sgt Gus

04 Suburban oil pan, whew
Well, it's not good. Have some lifter noise when start up, briefly. Thought about thicker viscosity, but if it's harder to get into hydraulic lifters then that's not really helping make sure top end is lubricated. Just worry about lifter collapsing or bending, throwing a rob. Silly really...- Sgt Gus

04 Suburban oil pan, whew
Well, no. Upon start she gets that 38 to 40 PSI but once warmed up to temperature I'm back down to 20 psi at idle so she's just worn out unless I want to mess with oil pump. Opinions?- Sgt Gus

help me find this ticking noise on my truck ( 1978 Chevy C10 305 )
I insulted someone on this forum because I thought a stethoscope was funny...I didn't realize there was such a thing as a mechanics stethoscope. I have one now, and have used it to isolate noise and fixed. :)- Sgt Gus

04 Suburban oil pan, whew
She's got alot of miles... I put 5.5 oz of seafoam in oil to clean up, and ran for 100 miles. I had a lifter making noise and it bandaided that. No noise immediately. Replacing oil pump o-ring and gasket. Oil pressure been low, but not dangerous, well sure didn't help (lifters).- Sgt Gus

TH400 Information Thread
So question, our 3/4 ton with th400 seemed to go into gear kinda hard if that makes sense. Park to drive or reverse, like a race horse wanting to get outta gate. Drives fine, shifts fine. Just seeing if that seems...normal?- Sgt Gus

Almost met Jesus this AM due to a faulty thermostat!
I've seen my dear old Dad put the Stat on the stove. Glad your ok, scary. I better prepare my daughter for potential situation since it's her truck. Pulled off the t-stat yesterday on our build and had a 180° motorad in it. Think I'll put a high flow 195° ACdelco in when putting back together.- Sgt Gus
