    Truck won't start

    I have a 1986 c10 that was running, but now does not want to turn over. I have replaced the battery and the starter both. It was running, but then one morning I turned the key and all I hear is a ticking sound. Whenever I am trying to start it up I can see the belt and fan moving, but no...

    Starter help

    Thank you for your help, the illustrations really helped me as well. I ended up getting it all back together then found our that my battery was dead as well. I replaced both components and now she is back up and running again.

    Starter help

    Ok, so the biggest wire of them all is going to go to the b terminal. The other two wires that are together both go on to the s terminal together?

    So I was replacing my starter today, forgot to take a picture of the wiring, and now I cannot wire my new starter right. Has three wires all together; one big wire, to other wires together, one being very small, and the other is a little bigger. Solenoid has two big connections one top and...

    Timing chain problem help

    Now that sounds intense. I am going to double check my starter first because I noticed the solenoid is going bad on it, so hopefully this is the cause of my issues. Thank you for your help either way

    Timing chain problem help

    Alright fellas, so this morning I went to start my 86 silverado c10 short wheel base and it attempted to turn over, but made a sound that sounded much like a chain being scraped against cement. It got it started for a short period of time and then it just shut right off. After a couple more...

    Replacing fuel tank

    I found a small hole in the drivers side fuel tank, so I am replacing the entire tank. I would prefer not to lift the bed up, but just simply drop the tank. Can anybody give me detailed instructions on how to do this? Pictures would help as well if possible. I have an 86 c10 short wheel base if...

    Choke Light

    I have never replaced a fuel tank on this model, but from what I can see the sending unit is on top with the lines hooked up to it. There looks to be two different straps that hook onto the rear bumper by two bolts. Is this all I would need to take off in order to drop the fuel tank and put in...

    Choke Light

    Alright so I did not figure out the choke problem, but I did find that I need a new harmonic balancer, a new fuel tank cause the old one has a rusted hole in it, and the starting problem was from the starter solenoid being completely covered in grease. It just needed a cleaning. The harmonic...

    Choke Light

    Just thought of something. The wire from the alternator to the battery is one of those ****** red insulated cords that the previous owner did himself. Could this be the reason for the choke light coming on and my ****** starts. The battery is a very ****** rural king battery lol. This was not...

    Choke Light

    The truck is a short wheel base, which I am assuming does have a cv axle. I bought this truck about a week ago so I haven't delved into it too much yet. So what exactly would I have to do to fix the choke? Replace the oil pressure sending unit? Could the engine be choking on oil?

    Choke Light

    Gauge for oil pressure doesn't work. I just did an oil change on it and put a k&n filter on it. The only light that is on is the choke light, that is about all that I can tell from the gauges. The carb I have on it is an edelbrock carb, which is pretty much brand new.

    Choke Light

    Hey fellas, been working on cars for about two years now, but I am sort of new to the classic years. My choke light is on and I have no clue what that means. If it helps every time that I really step on the gas my engine wants to shut off, it actually did **** off on me completely once. I have...
