    What new tools have you got lately?

    Just ordered a thin spark plug wrench for BMW motorcycles because mine didn't fit, only to find that there is one included in the toolbox under the seat

    Driveshaft vibration

    I'm absolutely no expert on chasing these vibrations, but i think it can still be your torque convertor. A damaged friction material ring can cause an unbalance in the TC even when not in lock up. In lockup however it will be worse

    Test for lockup on 700r4?

    About your first note, the hard 1-2 shift. I had the same issue with my stock '91 K5 with 700r4. I adjusted the tv-cable multiple times as described but that changed nothing. Until somebody gave me the advice to adjust it one notch further manually and after that it felled like a new...

    Wind noise is running me stir crazy

    I had the same problem. Adjusting the doors so that they close firmly did a lot. Now i have to slam them a little harder but it really helped. Then i added this, which also helped a little.

    Ignition switch switch draining battery

    Be carefull, my ignition switch caught on fire a couple of weeks ago. I was only able to stop the fire by pulling one of the battery cables. Just shutting down the engine and pulling the key was not enough. Apperently the switch was so worn that the metal glider got in contact with a constant +.

    Play in steering box at normal operating temp.

    I tried and checked everything in the previous post but no change. I own this truck for 5 years now and it really has had this problem ever since. In the past years i changed about every steering component including the steering box and pump that were rebuild ones from rockauto. Which leaves me...

    Play in steering box at normal operating temp.

    Well i finally found the time to flush and fill the PS with GM approved PS fluid but that made no difference.

    Ignition switch caught fire

    Thanks but i was unsure on wich pin of the blue connector the purple wire needs to be connected. I have 2 possible pins or terminals (not sure how you call this in english) left on the blue connector. Anyway i think C10mixmaster already answered that.

    Ignition switch caught fire

    This '91 K5 is my DD, i use it to visit clients. So last tuesday first client was a 40 mile drive, mostly highway. I got there without any problems but when i started and backed up the truck 1 hour later a lot of smoke came out of the steering column. Shutting off the engine didn't help but...

    Play in steering box at normal operating temp.

    When starting after the truck has been sitting for a couple of hours the steering is great. As things warm up there's an increasing amount of play in the steering box when driving straight forward, not in cornering. Everything is stock, power steering filled with full synthetic atf which looks...

    Vibration

    If you choose to get rid of the vibration, here's what i do when chasing a vibration. First determine if it's engine speed related or vehicle speed related which in your case it probably is. When it's vehicle speed related i check if the vibration is still there when coasting or when in neutral...

    Inner fenders : which models are the same?

    Hi guys, this '91 K5 is my DD. Both front inner fenders / splash shields are toast due to salty roads in winter time. They're only 50 each at rockauto but about 1000 to ship overseas. I'd like to find a pair of good used ones on a USA car junkyard, which are not numerous here. So i might have to...
