    Belt Hell

    Thanks Big Ray! Didn't take it off. Just loosened the two bolts in the tensioning brackets. Somewhere along the way it pulled forward. Eventually, after a lot of sweat equity, I got it done. Now, of course, my squeal has stopped but it's apparent that the AC compressor clutch is bad. LOL #moneypit

    Hi all! I used up every ounce of energy this afternoon wrestling with my friggin belts. 1987 Chevy R10. Three belts. AC truck and power steering. Got them all in place. Alternator belt is good to go. Power steering pretty good too. Any tricks on how to get my AC compressor lined back up with the...

    R10 Fan

    Hi I have a 1987 Silverado R10 with AC. I cannot find a radiator fan to save my life. Will fans from any other models work just the same?

    Please Help me get this truck going!

    Funny you should say that! I checked voltage on the battery yesterday. It was over 12 and stayed strong with the engine running and with accessories all turned in. What I don’t understand is the drastic impact on the engine when I Simply turn on the headlights. I did the unthinkable yesterday...

    Part of my issue is I'm a novice. So, throwing parts is my default. Definitely would love to try everything above. Just not sure how.

    Thanks everyone! Chipping away at this. New MAP sensor, new CTS, new O2 sensor. That O2 sensor replacement took a year off my life. Hopefully I didnt cross thread it but it’s location makes it very difficult to get it threaded. TBS on the way. Also, I took the dash apart and replaced the light...

    The engine light is out. Blown bulb maybe. Tried the paper clip jumper trick but no luck.

    The only thing that has made a difference is unplugging the coolant sensor. It is like it breathes new life into the engine. Still stalls when accelerating though.

    Ok, I have a new spark plugs, a new map sensor, a new fuel filter, and a new coolant temperature sensor. 1987 R10 Silverado With a 305 engine. It is running very rich and none of the above fixes has changed anything. In fact, I can’t really get it to run it wants to cut off. The throttlebody...

    Electric Fan Conversion

    Hi all! Brand new to this forum and nice to see all of the recent discussions. I currently have an electric double fan attached directly to the radiator. I have an urge to try to find an OEM seven blade fan and a shroud but see a lot of mixed opinions on it. I do like the extra space in the...
