    Is there a way to remove this....

    Heat gun or hair drier. Just don't get too hot with the heat gun as it will melt it and should peel off slowly using razor blade or exacto knife to peel up.

    Heat/AC Blend Doors

    I have noticed when the selector is set to OFF, air is still coming into cab thru the vents. The amount differs due to vehicle speed. I have deleted the low speed fan and it does not blow all time on low setting so I know the blower motor is not running. Is there a door that should close not...

    Heat/AC Blend Doors

    There could be some differences in the year models. The diagram in my OP was not what I intended to upload. Could not delete after discovering how bad it is.

    Heat/AC Blend Doors

    I have a 74 pdf manual. Looking for someone to confirm how many blend doors I have. The diagram shows 3. Defroster Door, Air Door, and Temperature Door. I know there is one at top of the passenger kick panel but I have never had one of these apart to know the exact number. I am thinking mine...

    Sticky steering wheel and other plastic interior parts?

    Mine was like that so I used 99% alcohol to rub them down and after a couple of rubbings it was not bad at all. If the alcohol makes them appear whitish color, use vinyl upholstery restorer to make it look better.

    74 window crank handles?!

    I got my replacements at O'reilly in the help section. No issues. There may be an issue with the regulators if they were somehow replaced, that were not for the 74.

    Advice on Muffler Replacement

    I've had 2 Flowmaster 40's on mine for a year and ready for something else. Tired of the "drone" (roar) from them. Not sure if I want to get Flowmaster 50's or maybe MagnaFlow.

    Engine Rebuild or Replace???

    Correct. Diagnosis is blown head gasket right side. No issues with oil or coolant. Should be completed by Friday.

    Engine Rebuild or Replace???

    Yes it was white smoke. Thought it may be steam but did not dissipate quickly as steam does. I do have a TH350 that was rebuilt last November.

    Engine Rebuild or Replace???

    Went back to check on truck. Oil looks good and full. Coolant level still full. If it definitely is head gasket, I may have stopped it in time before oil and coolant was affected very much if not any at all. Will maybe find out tomorrow what shop guys decide. I did notice a little smoke coming...

    Engine Rebuild or Replace???

    Head gasket was a thought too. Forgot to put that in 1st post. I did check dipstick and it showed plenty of oil. Did not appear to be light brown as when it has coolant in it. Going by shop today to check out more. It was blowing out a lot of smoke.

    Replacement AC compressor

    Temp slider on mine was binding when I purchased it. I removed cluster bezel, removed climate control screws. Pulled out just enough to find the slider was dry and not wanting to move. Oiled slider mechanism, now works fine. Yours could be this also. Another thing to check.

    Vapor canister leaking gas

    Update After several fill ups with no more leaking, installed new canister and new cap. No more leaking. Maybe it is good even after several fill ups since new parts installed.
