    Power only comes on intermittently

    Ricko1966, Thank you! I’ll look into that. I had given up on finding a source.

    Power only comes on intermittently

    OP here, apparently my notifications weren’t working to let me know if somebody had been replying, and I hadn’t seen much for a while. So, I kind of quit looking at it. Sorry guys. Anyhow, I know Dorman does make fusible links and Napa usually carries pretty much everything Dorman but I couldn’t...

    Instrument gauge problem, can’t find much info

    It was the gage/idle that was blown. Replaced it, hasn’t blown yet but no change. Gonna try 75GMCK25’s suggestion. Hopefully tonight after work.

    Instrument gauge problem, can’t find much info

    Interesting thought. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get a chance to do that. Another “newbie” question: what should the temp and oil pressure typically run?

    Instrument gauge problem, can’t find much info

    Just to clarify, I have seen other posts about gauge problems, but it’s mostly been “check fuses, check grounds” in the replies. As I’ve done that to the best of my abilities, if someone has other suggestions, I’m all ears.

    Instrument gauge problem, can’t find much info

    My ‘88 Suburban V1500 is my father-in-law’s, I’ve been using it off and on for six or eight years, daily driver for last 2 1/2. Out of the blue one afternoon my water temp (stuck at 210,) oil pressure (stuck at 10,) volt meter (zeroed out) died and my fuel gauge started running backwards. It’s...

    We’ll, hours later, busted knuckles, more swearing than a battalion of Marines, and a sunburned leg, I went back to square one. Burnt out fusible. I had cut into it above where the wire itself had blown out. Replaced it more or less correctly and darn thing fired right up. Occam's Razor, “the...

    Power only comes on intermittently

    75gmck25, I’ll go back and check those out again. I did continuity but not voltage. Maybe I’ll just replace all three of them to be on the safe side.

    Power only comes on intermittently

    I’ve been through most everything I can find on this problem, but mine seems to have a twist no one else has reported. Beast has run just fine off and on over about the last five years I’ve used him until now. Has been in pretty much constant service for the last two years. Sorry, it’s kinda...

    1988 GMC Suburban V1500

    Thought I’d take a minute and say Hey. Have had my beast for a while (wheel and tire changes since pic,) “borrowing” from my father-in-law. Running into some issues, and from reading, looks like this is the place to be.
