    Looking for info ? Cooling system !

    Many pardons please. VO2 is in fact a "HD Rad/Trans Cooler" I miss read it. Also my truck has both a serpentine, and a v belt, what can I determine about fan rotation ? I always assumed that engine rotation was based on looking from the drivers seat looking forward. As on a ship, everything is...

    1988 350 V8 engine rotation ?

    I'm getting stupid in my old age, but I'm looking to get a new fan clutch and I need to know what direction the engine turns. Using the fan as an indicator, it would appear the engine turns counterclockwise if sitting in the drivers seat looking forward. The leading edges of the fan pull air in...

    Crazy glove box story ?

    I've been looking without, successes for a inner glove box panel for my 1990 Silverado pickup. It's a odd type part as the hinges for the door are on the flat inner glove box panel. GM made most of the glove box doors to hinge on the door itself, but for some reason they choose to have some of...

    Rally wheel worth

    Well my two cents here, I bought a set of those very wheels for my 88 K5 Blazer when I restored it. But these particular wheels are worth something. They were only offered with the the 86 AND newer bodies. I had a hell of a time finding the set I have, although mine were a new set I think these...

    Diagnosing a transfer box noise ?

    Good idea, Thank you. ALL of the u-joints downstairs and up front are all original ? and the ones where the front axles meet the spindials are horribly coated with mud, but I washed the mud but their still very rusty on the out sides. But not leaking any grease ?

    Diagnosing a transfer box noise ?

    On my 88 Blazer I get a noise or rumble when I am slowing down from 60 MPH. It doesn't make any noise acceleration, only when I'm off the gas pedal coming down? It feels a little in the seat and steering wheel. Any advice is appreciated ! Thank you !

    Need your opinion ?

    Well that would be my thoughts, as K&N are getting too pricey for a stinking air cleaner element . I'll look into "Grenn Filters" Thanks for the tip my friend.

    Oil Pressure Question

    I bought a 'Jasper' remanufactured 350 in my 1990 Silverado. It was really the best money I've spent. Now 09 years later the engine runs so smooth you can put a cup of coffee on the dash and there's not a ripple in the coffee. Now whenever I'm in the truck it stays at 60 pounds at cold idling...
