    Shuddering when braking

    After spending time organising for the discs to be machined on the vehicle, and shop not able to do it as the top hat arrangement their machine could not reach. So stripped it all down, to take it to them, found bearing were very worn. Replaced bearings and found another shop that had bigger...

    Shuddering when braking

    I noticed one of the inner brake pads is nearly down to the metal, so gonna order a set, then pull caliper and disc off and will dress it with flat dresser. My manual says should be no greater than 006” out. So will check all that when they out.

    Shuddering when braking

    Put a dial indicator on the rotor and when rotating it was 004” or 0.100mm out both side. Would this be enough to cause the shudder? Got access to a lathe if I have to skim them. But don’t want to take them off if the runout is acceptable.

    Windshield wiper and washer problem

    Found out the problem was a spring missing (don’t know where is went) in the motor that held the ratchet down when wiper operated. As it was missing instead of it going one revolution and switching off, the washer just kept on going. Fitted a spring I had and it works fine now. It’s not always...

    Shuddering when braking

    Do not feel it in steering wheel. Think I might jack up front take wheels off and put a DTI on the rotors to see if they are warped. But everyone I spoke to kept saying it’s the rear drums that is causing it, so will be good to check the front hubs. Will keep you informed on outcome

    Windshield wiper and washer problem

    I have a wiper switch in my 1982 K10 which is on the dashboard. To operate you slide switch to the right once for intermittern wiper operation (on the switch you can rotate for how much delay the wipers work), then over again for fast and faster operation. Problem I have is when I operate it the...

    Head Light Issue

    Solved I got new lamps and put them in and still had problems with lights now coming on on hi beam, but top set dim. I left the light green in the middle on the connector, and swapped the tan and black arround. Tried and that side worked, so did the same on other side and all OK. Ran engine on...

    Head Light Issue

    Looks like I just missed you as you posted the same as me. If this does not work, i.e. wrong wattage lighting up 40 watt on full and 60 on low, the only thing this could be as someone suggested today, is that the Aussies have the connections on the lamps differently, and have the low beam at the...

    Head Light Issue

    Ok so does this now mean that when selecting Hi beam the 65watt upper quad lights up or does the lower wattage light up? Or is this still correct: ? Im assuming top quote and this is correct? From one of your previous posts I managed to order 60/40 watt Hi/Low today, so should...

    Head Light Issue

    After seeing the diagram, I noticed that my wires are not in the correct positions in the plug and the tan colour is at the top (middle position) light green at side and black on other side. (do not know how to load a photo yet) It appears that it looks like the hi beam may have been on all...

    Head Light Issue

    Thanks Guys, will try all your suggestions and get back to you, hopefully with the good result. I'll also check the wattage of the sealed beams as well, in case they have something to do with the problem.

    Head Light Issue

    Hi All, I have a 1982 K19 Silverado, that was imported into New Zealand from California. Problem I have is that when I put the headlights on full beam, after about 5 minutes they start flashing and all headlights will go out. If I press the dip switch the low beam comes on OK, and low beam...
