    looking for shocks that work good and wont break the bank.

    Over here, we are stuck with three parts stores. NAPA, Orielly and Carquest. At one time, I bought a lot of parts from CQ, until the corp dropped the CQ store over here. It is privately owned and family run, their prices went double on anything, compared to NAPA which is higher than Oriellys. I...

    My new square has a miss

    Add some oil to that cylinder then redo the compression test and see if the compression comes up. If it does then it will be the rings, if not then suspect a valve job is in order.

    Gen v oil cooler plug size

    If it is not a four wheel drive truck, why not just remove the oil cooler adapter. A lot less chance of having oil leakage that way.

Hook that to the temp sending wire then adjust the resistance and read the gauge to see if it is accurate. The temp...

    You beat Me tooooit. My new to Me truck had the same problem. Parts and brake cleaner would`nt even touch it. Mixed Me up some vinegar and water, applied the mix with a rag and used newspapers to dry it with. Came out squeaky clean.

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    I believe that the 93 was the first year of the 4L60E transmission. Same as the 700R4 except of the E stands for electronically controlled, instead of a cable like the 700R4. I`m not sure what it would take to adapt them. The 93 and 94 years would interchange, the 95s howeer was a one year only...

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    How many times does the transmission shift when driving, if You get five shifts, then it is a 700R4 as the torque convertor will also lock in and seem like another gear. If You get three shifts, it would then be a TH350 or TH400. i`m not sure when they started with the 700R4, but to My thinking...

    Exhaust manifold

    Nope, not necessary. Unlees You are in a state that does emission testing. You can buy plugs that will seal off them holes.

    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    Tell them it has a "HYDROBOOST". Oriellys did the same thing to a guy I know. He was having terrible bad break problems. One look amnd I knew what the problem was, someone had installed a vac boost to it and it was not working well with the hydro boost master cylinder. Finally after I explained...

    My new square has a miss

    What 87 Jimmy said. A plug wire may appear oksy and put out a ton of spark, until it has to push that spark against compression. If You can not confirm when it was last tuned up, replace it all and use AC/Delco plugs, wires too if they are available, distributor cap and rotor. You might also...

    Np205 OIL TYPE

    You might check the specs for that transmission. I am thinking that it is recommended for engine oil in the transmission, unless it is the newer over drive manual transmission, then it calls for a special lube with synchromesh additives in it. Others with more experience and knowledge might...

    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    Be sure to bench bleed the master, then, after getting the master bolted up, start the lines into their ports, then, have someone push the pedal down and hold it while You tighten the fittings. That will save You a bunch of brake bleeding.

    Bad idea to buy a complete LS pullout from a rollover truck??

    If it didnt take a hard hit on the harmonic balancer, or, if it was rolled over and the engine immediately shut down, it should be okay, IMO. Check the transmission case though, it could be cracked.

    Ignition HELP! [solved]

    When viewing the distributor from the back, no. 1 should be at the eleven oclock position, or pointing towards the no. one sparking plug, or close to it. Unless someone has installed the distributor in anything but original equipment specs.
