    My new square has a miss

    Add some oil to that cylinder then redo the compression test and see if the compression comes up. If it does then it will be the rings, if not then suspect a valve job is in order.

    Gen v oil cooler plug size

    If it is not a four wheel drive truck, why not just remove the oil cooler adapter. A lot less chance of having oil leakage that way.

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    I believe that the 93 was the first year of the 4L60E transmission. Same as the 700R4 except of the E stands for electronically controlled, instead of a cable like the 700R4. I`m not sure what it would take to adapt them. The 93 and 94 years would interchange, the 95s howeer was a one year only...

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    How many times does the transmission shift when driving, if You get five shifts, then it is a 700R4 as the torque convertor will also lock in and seem like another gear. If You get three shifts, it would then be a TH350 or TH400. i`m not sure when they started with the 700R4, but to My thinking...

One look amnd I knew what the problem was, someone had installed a vac boost to it and it was not working well with the hydro boost master cylinder. Finally after I explained...

    My new square has a miss

    What 87 Jimmy said. A plug wire may appear oksy and put out a ton of spark, until it has to push that spark against compression. If You can not confirm when it was last tuned up, replace it all and use AC/Delco plugs, wires too if they are available, distributor cap and rotor. You might also...

    Np205 OIL TYPE

    You might check the specs for that transmission. I am thinking that it is recommended for engine oil in the transmission, unless it is the newer over drive manual transmission, then it calls for a special lube with synchromesh additives in it. Others with more experience and knowledge might...
