    Blower motor won't turn off

    I recently rebuilt my entire a/c system. At first when a/c was running I had a constant fog horn type noise that appeared to be coming from the blower motor relay. I replaced the relay which was new and it would also do it intermittently. Replaced again with a different brand and would make the...

    Humming From Relay

    I recently completed a rebuild of my a/c system that had missing components when I bought the truck. When the air was on, I noticed a loud humming noise coming from the blower motor relay. I got a new one and it did fine for a couple of days and then it started doing it too. Does anybody know if...

    Throttle Return Spring w/Idle Compensator

    I recently built a 350 with Edelbrock manifold and carburetor. Now I'm trying to get the A/C going. I can't figure out a good way to hookup the throttle return spring after I install the idle compensator for the A/C. Does anybody have a good setup for this?

    Which PAG Oil to Use

    It is the same as what you have in that picture, but it is silver instead of black. I have that same bracket setup too.

    Which PAG Oil to Use

    I recently bought one of the aftermarket A/C kits that has the compressor, evaporator, orifice tube, o-rings, and oil. It came with a bottle of Pag 150 oil, but it has this sticker on it. Does anybody know what I'm supposed to use?

    Master Cylinder Leak

    Finishing up a complete rebuild of a 79 C10. Installed new booster, master cylinder, lines, etc. The reservoir keeps leaking from the lid at the back and running down the booster and onto the frame. Even though the lid and gasket were new, I've replaced them and still the same thing. Any...

    Speedometer Gear Moving on Shaft

    I have a TH350 transmission that was recently rebuilt. Since then the plastic gear that goes around the shaft in the tail housing that is held on by a metal clip and engages the speedometer gear has slid down the shaft twice and caused the speedometer to stop working. Has anybody run into this...

    Air blowing out dash vents even when defrost or heat is selected?

    I had this same problem and it was from the actuator that controlled that door having a slight leak that kept it from closing the door all the way. You can test it by pulling the rubber piece where all of the vacuum lines connect to the back of the dash controls off. Then plug a hand held vacuum...

    Were you able to find one that wasn't and if so where?

    Dome light housing reads resistance

    I recently had an issue with my interior lights not shutting off when the doors were closed. I understand this is a constant power circuit with a ground created by the door jamb switches and I was able to isolate the problem to the dome light. This is a new dome light housing, as there was not...

    The vendor parts that work, parts that don't.

    Dash panel molding I paid $80 for from Classic Parts of America. Silver accent line rubbed off on my hands and smeared on my dash while I was installing it. I had to use acetone to get all of the silver off the dash pad. Emailed customer service and they said sometimes you have to clear coat...

    Wiper motor turns continuously in the same direction

    Sorry for the late update. I ended up taking the wiper arms off so that I didn't have to deal with them binding up trying to go down through the cowl and I could see how the mechanism was operating. Noticed the they were turning down then up, instead of up then down. Removed the linkage from the...

    Wiper motor turns continuously in the same direction

    When I installed it the wipers just kept trying to go down past the point they were able to, even after I changed the position of the arm that bolts onto the motor shaft.
