    Cold start sounds interesting.

    Awesome, I thought it seemed normal, sounds pretty neat ;)

    Cold start sounds interesting.

    This is my first carbureted vehicle, so forgive me, but should it sound like this after first starting it afert 8+ hours? It was about 30°F this morning. http://soundcloud.com/terry-allen-jr/79-gmc-sierra-idle You can hear it go into high idle shortly before the end.

    Blower motor!

    Alright, the plug on the one above was too wonky and the motor I pulled from the junkyard popped and I got my money back. Went to Advance and picked one up for $25. Also noticed I posted in the wrong section, sorry about that. Finally got it going though, with some future knowledge. Thanks for...

    Blower motor!

    I'll do that, before I make the drive to the yard again, wish me luck. It's cold, not Buffalo cold but cold. Edit: New(ley pulled) one shows dead, this is the orig is there a way to take the blower fan off to tighten the plug?

    Blower motor!

    Well it beeped, so there's no resistance, but should seeing as it is a coil motor. So it's shorted somewhere in the motor?

    Blower motor!

    So I tested with an ohmmeter, and the one that is currently in the truck registered null. The old one that was in the truck showed 0, but not .4 ohm.

    Time to roll out of bed and go test it.

    Blower motor!

    The three you went through, did they just not work or gradually die on you? I will test what others have suggested and get back soon with results. Maybe it's overvolting? Either way roughly 12.4V through relay. Weird that it died after working fine. I did notice on my last one yesterday, that...

    Does this look right?

    Blower motor!

    Thank you, I will check the other stuff later. I did run a jumper wire from positive terminal to the purple wire at motor and no go. Where exactly or how is exactly does the blower motor ground out?

    Blower motor!

    Well now that my damn truck has decided to have the blower motor go the hell out, and its on average this week 26 degrees, I don't know what the hell to do. Checked the relay you can hear it click + voltage checks out, the motor I just pulled from a local pull a part and installed it worked...

    How tight a fit?

    How tight of a fit is it to get to the oil pressure sender unit on a 79 Sierra with a 1st gen 350? It looks like a bit of a pinch, or maybe I'm over thinking it.

    TH350 Leak

    Ok, I'm going to clean it off in the morning. See where it leaks from there. Also should there be something connected to that plug or is it alright to run it like it is? Where would it run from? I understand it is a lockup for the TC, to improve mileage? I'm not too sure about transmissions...

    TH350 Leak

    Thanks for the info, this is my first GM truck. I've wanted one for a while but finally found one at a decent price. Grew up in one and I love this truck.

    TH350 Leak

    I've recently bought a '79 GMC Sierra Grande and have noticed quite a leak of ATF. The person I bought it from told me it was there but a slow drip. I'm not sure what his definition of slow is, but it runs! Either way, I'm not really sure where to start on this, I thought it may just be the...
