Heater not blowing at all
It was the blower motor! I put a new motor in, and everything works as it should! Part of me wishes I'd just spent the $21 on a new blower motor to start with, but hindsight is 20/20. It could have just as easily been a 20 cent fuse. It confuses me how the female PO said the heat was working a... -
Heater not blowing at all
I ran a wire from the battery directly to the blower, and it still doesn't turn on. I have the key on and the fan turned to high and heat control all the way to the right. I just ordered a blower motor and will pick it up at the store today Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -
Heater not blowing at all
Do I just take a wire from the positive side of the battery, unplug the plug I circles, and touch the wire there to make contact? It should move the fan if the fan works? Do I need to run any sort of separate ground? Also, in the second Pic, what is that part I circled? Is that something that... -
Heater not blowing at all
An update on this. I removed the resister (circled and numbered 1). It looked fine. Old, but not burned or out of the ordinary. I cleaned the contact points with steel wool and put some electrical contact grease on the pins. Tried everything, and it still didn't work. Removed part #2 (not sure... -
I bought some brand new headlight bezels and radiator molding. What total garbage!
I usually buy or restore original factory parts, wherever possible. I decided to break my rule and just order some new parts from Brothers. The inner grille is fine, because it's just plastic anyway, but the headlight bezels and upper/lower radiator molding are junk! Made in Taiwan cheap and... -
Bumper guard install
I didn't realize the bumper guards came in left and right? That may have been part of my problem. When I tried fitting it, I just used one of the bumper guards. It fit on the passenger side, but not on the driver side. I figured it was because the bumper was a little tweaked. When I hold it up...- MisterB

Found a factory tilt steering column with wheel!
Didn't I take that with me, as pictured above? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

What do you mean by metal box? If you look above, I posted a Pic of my engine compartment. Can you point out what you're referring to? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -

Good to know. Can you point me to where the resister is located? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -

Not yet. They had a factory tilt column at the yard I took, so I've been playing with that today Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -
Heater not blowing at all
By the way, I went to another junkyard today. They had around 10 73-87 square bodies. All of the trucks with AC had a ground wire. Non AC trucks did not. I went ahead and took a ground wire and screws from one of them so I have it just in case I want to attach one Sent from my SM-N975U1 using... -
Found a factory tilt steering column with wheel!
Glad to hear it. I figured I better just get it while it was in front of me. I unbolted and took everything I could Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

It's off a '76 suburban. I have an' 80 GMC K2500. I sure think this'll plug and play, right? I wasn't in a spot where I could do a whole lot of research, so I just bought it for $32. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

Bumper guard install
The bottom bolt is fixed on both of them. Top bolts move in and out or can be removed. Even with the top bolt removed, it doesn't line up even close. Maybe I'm missing something though? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

It's just a bolt. Might be there as a ground for AC equipped models. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -

Yours looks quite a bit different than mine. I don't have that ground wire at all, as you can see, but your truck is newer than mine Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -
Heater not blowing at all
Here's what mine looks like. I got a circuit tester and tested the three wires that come out of the firewall and head over to the blower, and all light up red for positive. This is with the key turned to accessory and the heater blower switch on high. I tested the rest of the connections all the... -
Just joined, and I have a 1980 GMC K2500 4X4
I decided to upgrade her from 33 muds to 35 muds. She definitely sits higher up. Old tires are in the bed Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

Some fun at the junk yard for small missing parts
Spent less than $10, but got factory ash tray, cigarette lighter (it works), and rubber parking brake cover. Also got the horn button parts to take my truck back to a stock steering wheel Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk- MisterB

Awesome. Thanks Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -
Bumper guard install
Got it, guys. Thanks. I've got the proper bumper and the proper bumper guards, but only the right side will go on properly. Turns out the left side of the bumper was sort of crimped a little from a chain connected to the front tow hook. I tried heating the bumper with a blow torch and pounding...- MisterB

I can see yours, but yours has AC and mine doesn't, so everything looks different. Also, the blower on mine doesn't blow on low, high, or anything in between Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk -
Heater not blowing at all
I've been reading up on this some more, and it looks like I need to do a better job of finding the ground for the blower and making sure it's good. The problem is, I can't find where the damn ground is. I've heard it's on the firewall inside the engine near the blower, but where? I'm not seeing... -
Heater not blowing at all
The PO's a good person. A friend actually. It's just.. She's a girl. She bought the truck already all restored about 5 years ago, and this type of smaller stuff is likely way over her head, and so it didn't get fixed and sometimes she probably didn't even realize something needed fixing Sent... -
Bumper guard install
I have some factory bumper guards I'd like to install on my stock bumper. When done, it'll look like this Pic I found of a similar truck. I got the two bumper bolts on each side removed, but when I go to put the bumper guard on, it almost seems like the holes don't quite line up. I'm guessing I...- MisterB
