    Carb Idle Speed Solenoid

    I think there is a wire that is setup to go to a carburetor solenoid so when you turn on the AC it opens the throttle slightly to keep idle. I'm going to use it to activate the electric fan(s) on mine. Can someone confirm it is the pink/black wire #39 in this diagram? I was thinking it was...

    Interior Vents

    I'm finally about to get the AC charged in the truck. I know they like to put it on max to keep the air recirculating. Questions: When it is set to max - The vent on the outside cowl is closed, right? The vent in the passenger kick panel is open, right? Asking because I don't have the...

    I installed a set of Dakota Digital gauges and they retain the factory gear indicator but now there is not a light on it. I don't mind but my daughter would really like one there. Anybody run into this and have an easy fix?

    Window antenna button

    Been working in the truck so long I can't remember the safe place I put the button piece that attaches to the front window for the radio antenna. I bought one from LMC and it wouldn't fit. In my attempt to get it to work I demolished it. So, if anybody has one or two laying around and would...

    What is this??

    Gotta transmission question, I think. This thing on the firewall, does it control passing gear on the TH350? This cab is an 85 that had a TH350 but now has a 700-r4 with the TV cable. Do I need to worry about it or just remove it? What the heck does it even do?

    Brother's 1 piece windows

    I've been having issues with my windows rolling up all the way since installing new felt. No matter how I adjust them they will roll up, fast, until about 3/4 of the way then stop. I know about the relay mod to get more power to the motors but this isn't the issue - I can't even pull them up...

    Water Temp Sensor

    I know the factory sensor is in the driver's side head but was wondering... I'm installing Dakota Digital gauges and the fitting actually touches the header. I have places that are drilled and could use but want to see what you guys thought about accuracy. Water pump Thermostat neck...

    Starting Issue

    Issue started out of the blue. We would start the truck every couple of days just to keep fluids moving - it has yet to be driven since it's not done being built. Started fine one day then the next just a click from the starter. Nothing changed from the day that it work to the next day. Went...

    Size: 7/16 - 14 Finally getting to under the hood and I need to run the ground strap, which is already attached to the firewall, back to the head. Issue, I lost the bolt. Doesn't sound like a big deal, right? It's not except I don't know the bolt size & pitch to get a new one. Anybody have...

    Black/White wire - Seatbelt?

    I have a small, maybe 18g, black/white wire that is about 6 feet long that comes out from the bottom of the fuse block under the dash. I think it may be the seatbelt buzzer wire but unsure of how to test it. I've read that if it is grounded (seatbelt is being worn) when you turn the key forward...

    Steering Wheel

    Looking for one of these steering wheels, cheap. The outer ring doesn't need to have the padding as long as it is still mostly round but the center needs to be in decent shape - it is going to be recovered. Show me what ya got cheap.

    Steering wheel replacement

    Been looking at replacing the steering wheel and adding the quick release as well. I have two questions though - 1) Quick release is in addition to the regular adapter, correct? 2) How much closer does it move the steering wheel towards the driver? Thanks!

    Ground strap

    Truck is about to go to paint but they want it to run for ease of moving. I finally got it started but I want to make sure grounds are working so I don't get any weird issues. I have one strap that is located by the AC box and I have no idea where it goes. Is it to the back of the head or on...

    Two Connections - What for?

    I have an 85 Sierra Classic cab that is going on an 82 Sierra chassis/engine/trans. These wires com out of the fire wall then magically multiply and end in these 3 plugs which I have no idea were they go (well, the white square 4 pin should go to the transmission). None of the diagrams I have...

    Tailgate "link"

    Has anybody here found a replacement to the tailgate links, as they're called at LMC, that keep the tailgate from dropping too far? I'd like to get rid of the metal bars and go with cables like on newer trucks. I have only found one set that says it will fit just not sure if I believe them or...

    Drive shaft grew?

    Having an issue on my 85 getting my drive shaft back in, it's like it grew an inch and a half. I pulled the entire rear half of the truck apart - if it was bolted in, it came out. Painted everything and installed a flip kit when I put it back together. Everything went together and fit properly...

    Price question

    I've got a parts truck and someone wants to buy the door panels. They are full electric with switches, pulls, pocket and arm rests - everything is in really good shape.

    Surface Rust Removal

    Working on the cargo area portion of the bed of the truck and I'm trying to get the rust off so I can put down some sort of liner. The front corners look as if the previous owner left leaves/grass there and moisture rusted it. It is not through but a thick surface rust as in picture one. I...
