Worked on the '99. Spliced the gas gauge wires, have to see how it works but I think it will need the sender. Changed some PCV thing that had broken clip ears and would blow off sometimes with a big smelly puff of smoke. Added the missing headlight/key in ignition buzzer. I have the DRL module that was missing but I'm not sure if I want to put it in.

Gunner41 · 01-23-2021, 04:11 PM

Same thing I have the past week. Trying to figure out why my Aux fan will not work on my 3500? Ughhhhh

Just call me Sean · 02-02-2021, 02:34 PM

This damn thing keeps blowing off. It's new, busted the ears off like the one I replaced.

I've been hearing this noise, sounded like the alternator bearing. The noise got pretty loud today, so I removed the alternator belt and started it up. Well... it was the alternator bearing making noise, but the louder noise was something separate. I think the transmission is close to dying. I just put that thing in there, and it looked recently rebuilt.

Just call me Sean · 03-14-2021, 10:51 PM

Had a chance to check it out better. Luckily not the transmission, but the noise was pretty close to it.

Just call me Sean · 03-15-2021, 12:07 AM

So this dust shield whatever thing broke off, so I had to cut it off. Bearing is fine. That's all I can do tonight, have to pick up the mount and alternator tomorrow.

The temperature door motor for the '99 is bad. I managed to get it to open to cool and unplugged it, so I have a/c again.

Just call me Sean · 04-24-2021, 08:48 PM

I changed the master cylinder reservoir on the '93. Hopefully that will stop the leaking. I changed the master cylinder twice.

Just call me Sean · 05-14-2021, 07:12 PM

Sudden tire failure at 70MPH on the expressway while pulling my trailer. Chewed up the rim a bit.

Just call me Sean · 06-24-2021, 09:56 PM

Picked up a hitch from the junkyard. I'm going to have to cut the old one off my truck.

Just call me Sean · 06-26-2021, 09:29 PM

A few pics of the old hitch.

Pulled off my grill to find power steering pump cooler leak and fixed. Now I replaced my gtill and Im pulling my hair out trying to find a 97 3500 Grill emblem that doesn't cost $100+. I cant help it I like the gold look on the grill.

**special-K** · 07-06-2021, 05:36 AM

I like the gold bowties, too. Nice gold bowties! Dang, $100.

The announcement I need to make is I greased up the front end on my Suburban Saturday morning. Not your ordinary lube job here. The driver side upper ball joint zerk wouldn't take grease. No problem I figure. I have a bunch in my bins. Oh shoot, metric! No can do. I make a Saturday evening run for metric zerks. Sunday evening I put the new zerk in and greased her up. So it took two days for that lube job

**DeadheadNM** · 07-06-2021, 07:48 AM

Installed an upgrade OE radio and a CD player.

**special-K** · 07-11-2021, 12:31 PM

Nice. I have one, too, and an upgrade steering wheel to install. I need to replace the multifunction switch in the column, so the wheel goes on then. And the stereo will go in when I replace the heat/AC control panel, once I find one.

Just call me Sean · 07-15-2021, 09:23 PM

The '99 started misfiring the other day, and since I know the timing is off I figured it's the distributor cap and rotor. Picked up a brass terminal one and it's running as it was. I think my brother or one of my cousins has the thing I need to set the timing so I don't toast the new cap. I'm not sure if I can use the old bad one to do the cut a hole in it trick but I might try anyways.

Just call me Sean · 07-16-2021, 03:48 PM

Still good for a spare?

**DeadheadNM** · 07-18-2021, 01:28 PM

Added a dash mat. I’ve used these for years in my cars. Really helps cut glare.

Snarl95 · 07-18-2021, 03:08 PM

Replaced steering damper and alternator.

Replaced radiator.

I just rotated the tires and fitted the new air filter.

Just call me Sean · 07-31-2021, 09:19 PM

Installed a power steering pump I got off a Cadillac. Had to change the reservoir.
