    Do I need new door hinges, springs, or pins/bushings?

    To check your hinges slightly open the door and lift up on the latch side. If it moves up and down then your hinges need replaced. The top hing is a bugger cause the third bolt is under the dash through a little hole the washer barely fits through.

    Symptoms of a bad/failing ECU?

    Also couple things to check for the ecm if it's bad or not but with truck running give the ecm a little wack with your hand if the engine studders or changes there's a short in it. Also you can run a test light to the injectors. One side is ground and other side is power. On the ground side...

    Symptoms of a bad/failing ECU?

    Sounds like you might have a power issue to the cluster. Or the cluster bands itself . The ecm gives ground to the ses light and the same with the 4x4 light. I just redid my harness on my 89 tbi suburban and kinda made it a stand alone from the truck harness. I had to run a hot wire to a bulb...

    Heater box question

    I used 3m strip caulk on the outer box and 3m double sided foam tape on the inside. That 3m foam tape held like a sun of a gun. Took out all the screws and had to still pry it off. You could also see were it had sucked in more on different spots on the firewall so the extra material helps. I...

    Sports mirrors on 1987

    I just put a set on a 70 c10 and there were holes from old sport mirrors once we installed them we could barley see out of the passenger side. Super upset cause all body work was done and nothing could be done now. So when placing them make sure your able to see out of them.

    Need help with lights

    I actually ran into this before. Fuse had a hairline crack in it. Looking at it briefly looked good. But when squeezed the terminals together it opened up. Now when checking fuses I do both side to make sure power is going to both sides. Glad it was a easy fix for you

    Need help with lights

    Columns are all black unless some one painted it. The no brake lights aswell is a weird one cause it is not really associated with a flasher. Almost sound like nothing but the ignition has been hooked up on the column. Any wires dangling around on the top of the column. They are a bugger to...
