    1989 GMC 3500 C&C truck needs intermittent wiper upgrade

    I have a 1989 GMC 3500 cab and chassis that has no intermittent wiper; just low, high, and off controls on the directional stalk. I'd really like to have a delay option. Back in the 80's, department stores used to sell a little aftermarket under dash kit where you could set the knob for the...

    454 choke light stays on

    Hey guys. I just completed a long block swap on my 1989 GMC K3500 454/SM456/NP205 truck. During the swap I got a completely rebuilt quadrajet carburetor and I replaced temp senders, oil pressure sender, hoses, belts, etc. The truck runs fine and I got the carb adjusted properly. The old carb's...

    454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues

    OK, that's what I thought. Now for the next question; here is a side by side of the oil pressure sensor (or switch, I'm not sure what the difference is?) I bought from Rockauto vs. the one that was on the old engine: The new one is a little longer, but they both have the same thread which...

    454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues

    Thanks! I am confused (sorry for my lack of knowledge here...) According to this illustration it should have been a coolant temp sensor? OK, I'll see if that connector will go onto a spade terminal as well for the sensor in the head. The connector I showed here: is on the passenger side, on...

    454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues

    That sight is awesome; thanks! Here's the problem though: This is the sender the catalog suggests based on my VIN. Assuming it's the same thread as what I have, should I just use this style and replace the connector to match the spade terminal? On the sensor up on the intake I'm in the same...

    454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues

    Part deux: There was no wire going to it, but this one was near it. This is the sensor NAPA supplied which obviously does not fit the wire/connector that was close but not connected to the broken sensor: Besides that, neither the old broken sensor nor the NAPA suggested replacement fit the...

    454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues

    Hey guys – Need some help. My 89 GMC K3500 Cab and Chassis 7.4l (454) spun a lobe on the camshaft. Since I really don’t know the history of the engine and I plan to keep the truck, I decided to buy a long block for it. The truck, although an 89, is a square body since it’s a 1-ton C&C truck...

    Smog removal and valve cover replacement

    You can find the plugs for those tubes at 12bolt.com here: https://www.12bolt.com/store/p174/250_292_EGR_Plugs_Head.html I have a GM 250 straight six in my homemade skidder with the integrated head. I already pulled a bunch of that crap off of my engine already and it runs great. I'm not sure...
