You can start by checking the ground wire at the tank sending unit then the snaps on the ICVR on the back of the instrument panel for a good connection and or any corrosion.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck cleaning up a heater control panel. I found one in a junkyard that has almost perfect lettering but the black is stained and won't clean up. I wet sanded it with some 1500grit and got most of it out with minimal scratches and just wondering if I...
An AC condensor is where refrigerant is converted from a gas to a liquid. I'm not understanding how you all think transmission fluid will flow through it efficiently enough to cool it. If anything, It seems as it would be restrictive, creating pressure which would lead to leaks elsewhere in...
The easiest way to remove a tailgate from a dent that I have found is this:
With the tailgate up, remove the the lower right bolt from the hinge.
Lower the tailgate and loosen the upper top right bolt from the hinge.
Manuever the tailgate up/down to raise and disconnect the linkage (be sure to...
It has a 570cfm Holley and everything seems tight and adjusted correctly. In the past while looking for vacumn leaks, I sprayed carb cleaner on the throttle shafts and it bogged it down when I sprayed the throttle side. Is that a sign of a bad bushing? I tried looking at an exploded view of it...
I'm back again with an another off the wall issue. Since I bought this truck back in July I have slowly but surely fixed most of the major and minor issues and when it comes to the engine, fix one thing and something else is revealed like the timing, then an off idle stumble, etc... So where...
I thought I'd update my problem here. I changed the transmission fluid(drained the TC and replaced the filter) and substituted a quart with a can of seafoam transtune. I didn't notice anything odd about the fluid and there wasn't any debris but the bottom of the pan was coated in a black film...
The wheel bearings, races, rotors, well everything is new except the spindle and I-beams. Less than 300 Miles on them. And the sound is like running over rumble strips as well as the feel..
The tires I put on were coopers, 275-60/15 (on 15x8 wheels) but the vibration was there with the old worn out cupped tires. The C6 is usually in 3rd gear by 25mph just normal driving but when the vibration starts I'm pretty sure it's over 2200rpm. I was told by the previous owner that it had a...
Shocks are good, tracks good, and no noises when cornering but this is what I did find that might be the culprit. While checking for wheel bearing tightness, I felt slop in the driver's side tire but not from the wheel bearing. I jacked it up an inch off the ground, put the handle under the...
I have a weird vibration that starts after about 30mph and seems like it goes away at about 70. I hear it more than I feel it and I can barely feel it in the steering wheel. It started after I replaced everything in the front end except the I-Beams. So everything between the pitman arm and...
I appreciate all the responses, I feel better now... I also let me wife read them so I could prove either that I'm not crazy or at least not the only one...
