    What’s the best way to make sure absolutely everything is flushed out before switching to 134?

    134 condenser

    Anyone know where I can find a condenser replacement that uses 134 refrigerant for an 85? I think it’s supposed to be 27” across. Looks like this is a part that is not in stock in a lot of places.

    Bed liner on cab floorboard?

    Anyone tried this? I have given up on keeping water out of the cab which means my carpet is always going to be a mess. Thinking about ripping it out and spraying in bed liner. I know this is common in Jeeps. I know heat on the floor can be an issue but other than that, any pros or cons?

    Passenger side kick panel - what do these parts do?

    Yeah, that’s helpful. I wonder if the red light thing was part of an aftermarket alarm system. It doesn’t have any power going to it, but you can tell it once did. Yes, that makes sense of the flap that opens snd closes on the kick panel. I wonder if it’s driven by which setting the climate...

    Power door lock issue

    Thanks Eskimomann I actually found a relay and got the power locks working again But apparently they don’t make that particular relay anymore and the substitute I found is getting rare too Hold on to yours - it’s going to go up in value!

    Passenger side kick panel - what do these parts do?

    The passenger side kick panel has never really been attached on my truck The wires all seem to be there, but I guess the previous owner didn’t have the screws to get everything right and tight Heat and a/c seem to work ok - blower motor seems strong But what are these parts for - and what do I...

    Power door lock issue

    Eskimomann209, are you putting that relay up for sale? Does it work? TPISly-c10, yes, that’s it - mine was close to the gas pedal too, up by the steering column, obscured by insulation. It is not easy to get to. It was behind and above another panel that hold relays for horn, etc., plus what I...

    Power door lock issue

    I pulled out the power door lock relay housing to see if the wires on the diagram above match what is on my truck The wires do not have much slack so it is hard to get a good look at everything But it appears that I have 2 orange wires, a green wire, and a black wire going into the power door...

    Power door lock issue

    Thanks Unfortunately I am not great at reading wiring diagrams If it helps, I have the same issue on both sides - so whatever it is that is sending out power to push the actuators up at all times, it is a “centrally” located issue I’m guessing it has to do with the relay or the way the wires are...

    Power door lock issue

    Here is the situation: My truck had factory power door locks. They have never worked since I have had the truck. Since I was taking the doors apart to fix other things, I figured I’d look into the power door locks as well. Turns out, there was no actuator at all on the driver side and the...

    Dash replacement

    LMC sells a foam wrapped vinyl dash pad. It’s not cheap but it sounds like whether you go this route or refurbished, you’re going to spend over $300. https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-87-chevy-gmc/cc-csb-1973-91-dash-pads

    Dash replacement

    Mine is cracked and ripped so bad so I don’t know that it can be refinished. USA-1 looks good, but pricey and several months out to get. I might take a shot with the LMC one and see how it goes. I’ll let you know once I get it in.

    Power door locks - replacing actuator

    So what’s the best way to install? Bolt actuator in, then connect to the rod? It’s tight in there!

    Gas tank pressure - air rushes out when the the gas cap is unscrewed

    Bear with my ignorance....what would it take to install an evap system?

    Gas tank pressure - air rushes out when the the gas cap is unscrewed

    My truck is an 85 but does not seem to have any emissions equipment I’m not sure it has an evap system of any kind or charcoal canister The engine is a crate 350 with a carburetor I might just go with a vented cap and see what happens

    Gas tank pressure - air rushes out when the the gas cap is unscrewed

    A lot of times especially when I’ve been driving for a while, when I unscrew the gas cap, it lets out a strong rush of air. Air is definitely being pushed out. My truck has a crate 350 and had no real emissions equipment that I know of. I’ve never dropped the tank on this truck so I don’t know...

    Leak under dash

    I have a leak - water is ending up on the floor on the drivers side. I thought it was coming from the vent window or door seal. I changed out the seals only to find out water is actually coming down though the dash in the corner. It’s dripping under the far left of the dash. Any ideas on what to...
