    yes, i thought he had a 12si already The 12 si is just a stronger 12si There is , however, a delta wound alternator that is the same as these, thats called the 27 or 15si , i think the CUCV came with it. more charging potential with the same size. The electronics are the same and the...

    Alternator amps

    i dont advise it but as it stands CS130 have a heat problem that kills them Rebuilds just using cheap parts dont make that better There is a modified CS130 case by a company online which makes them cool better, youd need to spedn a lot for their custom alternator One could rebuild it going...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    so you said you checked everything 5 times, but you verified you replaced things as a parts canon and did not inspect things up close So you are lying to us or maybe us and yourself You needed to replace ALL the parts? To the brake pedal pad, to the drums/discs at the other end, to the...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    the backs get pressure first, the to overcome springs and begin their self-energiziing design, then the fronts have less distance to move to apply, and once the rears were beginning the fronts are getting the pressure and they begin braking, so it feels balanced Then the pressure is mostly in...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    brake hose diameters swell in and restrict, uncle tony showed one that had a pin hole diameter to through it And was like wow, but when they do this they are not sound structurally, any reverse of the pressure in the system might check valve the line to stop the fluid and thus hold pressure

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    i disagree, if everything is checked five times , then it couldnt be the case unless your tires are grossly different in pattern size and stickiness

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    tho a LSV would physically function on a half ton , it was designed to let a 3/4 ton truck use modified brake bias and then when they were unloaded, they could limit the rear when unloaded

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    ass stated before too the diameter is different, look at mine, my front one is larger diameter THe wrong size wouldnt fit the opposite direction at all (too large and would be obviously incorrect) The other way would be smaller and be evident for the opposite reason Id imagine the valve only...

    81 K10 fuse panel layout

    crank no start while you wait sounds like ignition components or fuel system. Id open up the distributor cap and see what your module looks like, if its OEM , basically, and id also ohm your coil Id also ask for a picture of your carb and the fuel line and the fuel pump

    81 K10 fuse panel layout

    you had to wait ? Thats not a neutral safety switch Thats likely something else Playing with the shifter or putting it in neutral, is the neutral start switch You should explain what happens when you try to start it, and what is different about when it works Is it crank, no start No crank...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    I Think the trucks with combination valves which have the bypass are diagnolly split systems, that means it would probably be necessary or it would deplete the fluid BUt the advantage is you get one front brake and one rear, which keeps you more stability -safe and more braking than just rears...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    It depends on the master Delco-Morraine vs Bendix vs whoever else they sourced them from, and the size of them The low drag brakes have different masters than the earlier ones, and the ports are sometimes different The combination valve in a split reservoir truck wouldnt have to block the...

    1988 Camaro

    interesting.. the first year or two of the series 1 supercharged used one belt. you sure it wasnt like a 95? Unless pontiac was different from Buick on this, the same body platform even being compared on this The series 1 had a lot of changes and its short run and older than most internet...

    GMC-IH

    maybe a good idea to investigate if engine oil which runs hotter and higher pressures and different oils overall is compatible, probably is but never hurts to be safe

    1988 Camaro

    the m62 heaton in all of its glory, making like 20hp and 5psi of boost and requiring 91. stronger rods and pistons Those first years didnt even have a way to change the oil in the supercharger, nor did they put a service interval on them I think that year only had a single serpentine belt too...

    that actually works against them in that case, multiple blades on razors are very diminishing returns, and the cartel of razor manufactures (only a couple big names, and no big innovations despite frequent product line changes , conveniently requiring new handles to use new blades.. any razor...

    Coolant Hose Popped Off the Thermostat

    did you apply them with a channel locks or a dedicated tool? They dont by chance have a "lock open" feature like some newer versions of those clamps (2000s newer cars, not always) i ask because the paint looks removed on the part that you use to open them, id probably paint them before using...

    Coolant Hose Popped Off the Thermostat

    those dorman ones are good enough quality you feel and strong? I might get some myself! And I d recommend some plastic conduit protection or some other friction reducing method for the hose if its resting on the shroud If you want to try this hose (if the ends are the right size) so it...

    GMC-IH
