    1987 Silverado Wipers Slow

    Still wipers slow I thought I was on to something. It seems that when I removed the wiper arms and linkage, the motor ran faster. I took the cowl off, greased the arms and tested it. It seems ok. I put the hood and all back on as well as the arms and tested it again. For about 3 swipes, it...

    1987 Silverado Wipers Slow

    As far as reading the voltage when the wiper motor is running, where do I need to read it? Rookie HERE! Also, I see some of the diagnostics referring to control module, I assume that is the rectangle device under the steering wheel? By the way, I just put this motor in from Advanced auto.. and...

    1987 Silverado Wipers Slow

    slow wipers Thank you for the help but.. As far as the post from sub89, the wipers run slow when in "lo" and run the same speed when in "hi". I don't see that on the diagnostics. I do own a shop manual (the fat one) and it wasn't much help either. As far as Chengny's questions: Have the...

    Dual Tank selector switch Help!

    Selector switch continued Ok, I did what you said, took the old switch out. When I try to plug the new switch in, it's a really tight fit. Seems to be off.. Also, after looking at some diagrams, the wire colors are different. The wires coming out of the dash are Tan, Tan/white, Grey, Black...

    Dual Tank selector switch Help!

    So, I realized the engine was only getting gas from the passenger tank. I tried the dual tank selector switch and it did nothing. I pulled it out from the dash and realized it's not wired. Long story short: I bought a new switch. Meanwhile I looked under the dash and found this connector and...

    Ok, So I am going to get 2 new power window motors to make these windows go up faster but I see there are many brands. Can anyone shoot me a review of which brand they like? Dorman? Cardone? AC Delco? A-1 Cardone? VDO? I noticed Rockauto had them all cheaper than LMC!

    tank selector I had a previous post where I wasn't getting fuel, realized the passenger tank was empty and the tank selector switch was broken and not even wired. I bought a new switch and some used wires with the plug but need to find out how to wire it since it's not there.

    How to Remove Gauges 1987 Silverado

    Ok, once again I am back. Thanks for all the previous help. The previous owner has left a lot of wires that go nowhere behind the dash. I have taken off the bezel, clear cover and black cover behind it. How do you get the white/green colored plastic piece that holds the gauges OUT? I have the...

    1987 Silverado Fuel/Wiper Problems

    Fuel tank and switch Ok, I put gas in the passenger tank, started right up. So, meanwhile I ordered a new switch and am getting the new wiring harness for it. I am hoping this solves the problem and I can switch to the left tank. As for now, I will check the wiper linkage to see if that makes...

    1987 Silverado Fuel/Wiper Problems

    Fuel switch I dont know alot about the fuel pumps. Am I to assume their are Two inlets from the pump for each tank or do those get determined at the valve on the frame rail? I guess what I mean is on the mechanical pump there are two inlets and one outlet. Is one inlet for each tank?

    1987 Silverado Fuel/Wiper Problems

    Fuel/Wiper Thank you for your reply. On another forum, someone made some suggestions. I took off the selector switch and noticed it isn't even wired. So, I am not a mechanic, but maybe the switch was locked on the driver's side fuel tank, which I did not fill up. I am going to add some gas to...
