    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    Thanks @TotalyHucked Zach for all the info. I will be going to look at and drive the truck soon. The snow here is kind of holding everyone up just enough to get in the way. I hope I can go see it Saturday. I just got a positive response from the owner and plan on taking pics to share.

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    All you just mentioned. I want to drive a truck daily. I love my square but want to keep it running as long as possible and practicality of daily driving it is not real for me. When I drive it though I definitely tend to want to keep driving it the next day, and the next day, and so on. If I get...

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    Oh yeah, I have been following Huks thread on his 2005 daily. I really admire seeing all the thorough work he does on his square and his cat eye. Both cool trucks.

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    Ok, Just got a call from a friend that was asked by a good friend of his if they would be interested in a 2005 Z71 4x4 extended cab. He called me and told me the details as this sounds like a good deal. I am now waiting to see pics. and potentially set up a test drive. It is not posted anywhere...

    How to rehab a window regulator manual or power

    I reused my original drivers side regulator the first time I replaced the power motor. The 2nd time I replaced the power motor the regulator failed. I used Dorman power motors and regulators. They work great.

    How to rehab a window regulator manual or power

    Also there are two different thickness widths of glass GM used. I believe I have read that on here before. That means there is likely more than one thickness of felt for respective years of production.

    How to rehab a window regulator manual or power

    Make sure the glass pane is actually in the track. Not a knock at you. The Last time I replaced my drivers power motor and subsequently had to replace the old worn out regulator that seized, for a couple of days I was baffled with why the window would not go all the way up. I then finally...

    Excellent knowledge to send out. I learned all this the hard way on my own trials and tribulations.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks @Redfish Andrew. This is what I need to hear. I have been wary to even think about swapping out a carb for the TBI ever since he suggested it a while ago. I knew there would be way more to the system than just deleting the intake and swapping on a carb. I think he is just more familiar...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Was busy most of the day getting all the Christmas decor down but when I finally had a half hour for myself, I popped the hood to see if anything obvious would jump out at me. Made sure all sparks were in secure and plugs were actually on. Took off the air filter and checked all the connections...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    After installing a new TPS and having great initial results, a one ride improvement, like the first time I used Seafoam. I drove the truck after the TPS and it performed well. The next day I took it out to refill the tank and get the RPMs up over neighborhood speed and had a moment of sputter on...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So I popped the air filter off and checked out the throttle body. @Ajax19 , Ajax you were more than helpful and spot on with the TBI electronics. @ChuckN , Chad, thanks for pushing me in the right direction. I was looking in to everything it could be and most things pointed to throttle position...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    When ignited and just in park( warming up) idle is normal. If I give it some gas while parked and not in gear it starts to idle a bit rough and shakes the truck just a bit more as well.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It's TBI. 1987. I got some CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake cleaner as I heard fuel injection cleaner works different than what TBI needs. I haven't tried before but I have seen quick clip videos of the throttle cable being pulled at the air intake and the jets on the throttle body pumping the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Changed the fuel filter in my quest for diagnosis. First time on this truck for me. Fuel filter is on the passenger side, wich is opposite from any of my Eww Toob research had shown(all were on drivers). Also every video I watched must have been on 2x4's cuz my filter was annoyingly close...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    After getting oil level back up to correct levels I was driving it to work for about three days. It was driving great! I parked it for about 3 days and then took it on a short trip to drop my daughter at a Girl Scouts meeting. It was sputtering uphill. Looked at all possible reasons even though...
