    Aftermarket windshield wipers

    1994-1996 iirc The early 90s had a pin arm like the late squares A little bit of loctite (yes , seriouslly) is wise if you want to prevent stripping the post It can be removed if you use a miniscule amount of heat, just use a leather glove or something to lay on the area around it to prevent...

    Big oil filter downsides? such as WIX 51794 or ACDelco PF932

    shear stability of oil through its life span If you have a real nasty narly oil (likely, highly neglected life AND current oil past due by a long time) you may start making your oil into a pudding

    Heater Motor?

    oh Idk i guess. SOmething to note is after a certain point, the government is barely the bad guy in an arena of regulatory capture and special interests. GM has benefited greatly in this regard

    Heater Motor?

    The exhaust leak thing was about carbon in the cabin, not government regs. lol. Thats one of the purported reasons gm went to flow-through ventilation in the 60s with the cars especially, they werent well sealed and the intake of air from the cowl area, hidden wipers and imperfect cowl...

    Heater Motor?

    Oh i see now! With heat only and non-direct vents , i cant see medium 1 and medium 2 being compelling enough to have the 4 speeds vs having an off position in your pre 85 or whatever truck. I support it. Just dont have exhaust leaks lol!

    Heater Motor?

    The one you ordered is, i think, the model you would use for a DELUXE HEATER (RPO option) Those trucks had a, best I can tell, better heater core, the 4th speed switch, no AC, and came with cab insulation, possibly a cooler tube that ran to the blower motor but unsure, and stuff. so youll like...

    Heater Motor?

    I meant more like you could use aftermarket replacement for that year but 4 speed blower switches are for the Deluxe heater models, right? @bucket i feel like we have a thread on this switch and why it was used in some but not all models And 1985 was the year i think i thought of, i think 83...

    Heater Motor?

    you dont have to do that to get an off possition, the 1982+ trucks im pretty sure have no constant on function so the electrical from that could swap im pretty sure

    Big oil filter downsides? such as WIX 51794 or ACDelco PF932

    also something to note, im not sure if its all LS engines, if truck engines have these, or if it was only the LS4 in fWd cars, but the oil pressure sending unit has a screen that sits before the sending unit on the LS4 at least, so maybe others to, which can get debris on it and make oil...

    Big oil filter downsides? such as WIX 51794 or ACDelco PF932

    Not to say AFM is inherently bad, but dont you think maybe a lifter replacement is due so you dont have a catastrophic death of them? 300k is insanely good mileage /luck or maybe its a factor of your persistence to maintain , but id be airing on the side of replacement to at least make the...

    Big oil filter downsides? such as WIX 51794 or ACDelco PF932

    More filter effectiveness, quicker plugging results. long term things like Wix XP filters are made to be used for multiple oil changes but sacrifice filtration for being able to run longer if you have clean oil and change regularly, not a factor to worry about

    Tank strap issue

    This is what i had to do to my gas tank long ago, the pinched welded seam around the perimeter of the tank did not allow the strap to reach but the original tank did not use a seam like this (im pretty sure it wasnt the same kind..)

    Firewall circuit breaker

    MAXI fuses are designed to replace fusible links, not sure about MIDI or or mega. even then, they are engineered differently so you wouldnt use equivalent ratings between them or size wires youd have to be much more subject matter expert to be able to confidently replace it on your own
