    No crank no click no start 81 c2500

    There is a fusible link in one of the main supply wires, which is basically a wire that a fuse. Also check the battery terminals. My sons 68 C10 would light the dash but not crank. Discovered the negative terminal was corroded between the terminal and ground wire clamp. As soon as I cleaned...

    Replace seals on power steering gear box on truck or bench?

    I would try replacing the seals and see how it goes. Seal kits are cheap (as am I).

    Strange brake issue

    Probably the proportioning valve got tripped, therefore not letting fluid go to the rear brakes. It should be on the front crossmember on the right side.

    Riding mower takes a dump

    Did you check that the wire to the electric clutch didn't get unplugged when you were dealing with everything else? I had one spit completely out from under the mower on a JD320. Ripped the connector off.

    Hanging I-Beam from ceiling joists

    Beam and trolley are definitely nice to have.

    Hanging I-Beam from ceiling joists

    Keith's suggestion is what I did in my shop. The problem is you would not he able to use the short rail you have. I had to go with a 24ft I beam and a pair of 10ft 4x4 square tubes for the uprights. Plus it runs side to side instead of front to back. Not as handy for things like engine pulls.

    Rag joint replacement difficulty

    It's pretty simple. Remove the two nuts that go from the rag joint to the steering shaft. Then you can pry them apart. Then remove the bolt that secures the rag joint to the steering box output shaft and pry it off. Install is opposite. Also watch as they make 2 different ones, they have...

    Windshield lock strip only replacement

    After fighting it with soapy water and a glass install stick, I got about 18" done. Went to O'Reillys and got the install tool. Think it took about 10 minutes to get the rest done. $15 well spent.

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    Look at the transmission pan. If it's basically a rectangle, it's a 700r4. If it looks like a square with a corner cut off, it's a th350. A search of chev automatic transmission id will give you pics.

    84 c10 won't idle

    Get a white sheet from the thrift store and spread it out in your workbench to disassemble the carb on. Makes finding tiny parts much easier. Spray carb cleaner through every nook and cranny . Take your time, take lots of pics, and you will do fine.

    Idling high and can’t get it lower

    How high? Intake or carb leak will cause it to run high. I used the wrong base gasket after a carb rebuild and it wouldn't idle below about 2k. Major leak.

    Connect phone to factory AM radio

    I just converted the factory AM radio in my 70 C10 to Bluetooth using a $20 Amazon Amp. I gutted the old radio and mounted the Amp so the original on/off/volume rheostat would control it. Someone else had the idea you could just wire the Amp to the power wire for the radio so it would come on...

    Transmission ID

    Look at the trans pan, then search "chevy auto.atic transmission id" and match up. Probably a th350 or 400.

    Loud Knock After Replacing Intake Manifold

    You can grab each pushrod and see if any are loose. Easier option is disconnect the ign power wire to your HEI (or coil wire for non hei) and have someone crank the engine over while you watch the lifters. If any aren't moving, you have a problem. If a pushrod is bent and off the lifter...

    Loud Knock After Replacing Intake Manifold

    8 bolts and you can have your valve covers off. Easy enough to see if a rocker broke or pushrod is bent....

    Dash light question (Is there a bulb back there?)

    There is a bulb in that area. They should be in a small black holder that twists into the cluster. Turn it 90 degrees, and it will pull out. Not positive, but I believe it is a 194 bulb. You should be able to get to it without pulling the cluster.

    Fuel Valve replacement (I made it worse)

    Went through similar issues a couple years ago. Intermittent. Replaced the valve, twice. Turned out to be a bad switch. On the gauge readings, 3 o'clock means grounded out, 9 o'clock means open circuit.

    69 GMC C-15

    Just painted some ralleys and mounted a set of tires on my 70 C10 project. Adapted a squarebody bench seat into it too so it is starting to look like a truck again. Thanks for the inspiration.

    55 Chevy Step Side 3100

    You did just fine at that price, especially if you were able to get a title for it. The days of sub 1k classic projects are long past. I paid $450 for my 50 F1, and similar ones now are in the $3-5k range.

    82 k1500 lost all forward gears no warning signs at all

    TH350 is the same as a turbo 350, just different way of saying it. The 4L60e should need an electronic control module to make it work, so not a straight bolt in.
