Tailgate Handle Assembly
No video, but below is the parts dwg/list. It might be of some help. I don't see any type of return spring (shown or mentioned), so what you are currently doing may be just the way it is. But on the other hand, I suppose its possible that there is a spring - it is just not sold separately (i.e...- chengny

Steering column
I am guessing you mean "cruise" control - correct? Yes it will work. The cruise control components are all external to the actual column and the wire is separate from all the other wiring. Just snip the wire if it gets in your way.- chengny

Reverse lights not working!
If equipped with an AT, the switch is mounted on the steering column - down where it penetrates the firewall: The DK BLU lead runs from the fuse block to the switch and the LT GRN runs from the switch to the B/U lights - in the rear harness. You might want to read this...- chengny

Coolant Temp Gauge Question
You are pegged high correct? What you need to do is look for is a short to ground in the DK GRN lead that runs from the gauge to the sender. It comes out of the loom behind the distributor and runs along the LH valve cover to up near the front. Then it drops down to the sender. Start at the...- chengny

1982 gmc k1500 tail lights not working
The tail light circuit (which also includes front parking, front and rear marker and plate lights) goes like this: Out of fuse block (20 Amp T/L CTSY) and over to the headlight switch on ORN 40. If the H/L switch is in either the parking or headlights position, a set of contacts are closed and...- chengny

Fuel Selector Valve - 1 wire > 6 wire
You know, I was just looking at the wiring diagrams. Although they operate in completely different ways, both types (solenoid & motorized) of valve/sender set-ups only utilize 3 wires from the dash to the tanks/valve. The old system ran two leads back to the senders (one for each tank) all the...- chengny

Fuel Selector Valve - 1 wire > 6 wire
Yeah really, talk about price gouging. There is one on ebay. He wants $350 plus - get this - $100 for shipping! In the event that you do decide to hit the salvage yards, see the list of target vehicles below. Just as info, the 467511 valve is a single terminal but with only 3 ports. T.H. =...- chengny

Fuel Selector Valve - 1 wire > 6 wire
Parts Voice shows these two vendors have the correct valve in stock (single terminal 6 port - P/N 467513). Don't get your hopes up though, who knows when they last updated their inventories: Dan's Obsolete Gm Parts Chinook, MT 59523 406-357-2615 Shows 11 in stock Craig Motors -Napa Gm Napa...- chengny

Fuel line
FWIW - If for some reason an in-line filter is needed, it's easy to splice one into the rubber hose on the inlet side of the pump. This shows one done like that (the hose is disconnected from the pump inlet and plugged with a spark plug):- chengny

Redid brakes, drums dont fit
These brakes have self-adjusting shoe mechanisms that assure correct lining-to-drum clearances at all times. The automatic adjusters operate only when the brakes are applied as the vehicle is moving rearward or when the car comes to an uphill stop. Although the brakes are self-adjusting, an... -

Bench seat front row in a suburban 1987?
Is there any bechseat original for the suburban in front? Yes. Here are the dwg and parts list for 1985 and up: Also, I checked back to 1973 - there was always a bench seat available for the 06 series. As far as securing the seat to the cab floor. Between the seat frame and cab... -
Redid brakes, drums dont fit
Perry is right about the star wheel on the self-adjuster needing to be fixed to the rear shoe. It follows that the self adjusting arm also must be pivoted on the secondary (rear) shoe - so it can make contact with the star. Those locations/positions are fundamental to how these self adjusters... -
Seat belts
It's hard to manually activate the centrifugal brake for the seat belt. It's all about human nature and the sense of self-preservation. They are designed to only engage at a certain rate of payout. If you try to test them by leaning forward quickly or pulling it out with your hand, most people... -
90 Burb brake lights out
That's weird. The brake warning light on the dash has nothing to do with the brake lights. There are only three switches that - if closed - will ground the brake light and cause it to illuminate (the other side of the brake light is always hot whenever the ignition switch is in any position...- chengny

Recommend rear wheel cylinder?
Looks like you have somehow got a 1/2 ton truck with a D60 rear axle. The 60's normally were only installed in 3/4 & 1 ton trucks. Look on the lower right hand gusset - as shown below. You will find a 2 digit number in the casting. You should be able to read it through the rust. But if you... -

I tried a couple of those polishing kits. I spent hours and hours on a particular lens one time - just to see if it was possible. If you do it long enough (and the scratches aren't too deep), the process will eventually bring the area around the scratch down enough so it blends in to the depth... -

Epoxy over Ospho. Yes or no?
Ospho (phosphoric acid) is used as a rust converter, not as a rust preventative. If you get your frame back (and it's down to white metal), but you won't immediately be able to apply your final coatings for awhile, then you should get some kind of light primer coat in the interim. I have been...- chengny

squeal from alternator, water pump or belt?
No, you're okay on that. The belt seems to be riding at just about the correct depth in the sheave groove. The reason it appears to be too deep is due to the design of the sheaves used in automotive applications. The sheaves used on stationary machinery have a much sharper profile - almost like...- chengny

air conditioning condeser
The stock GM condenser (P/N 3053293). This condenser will easily handle the heat transfer load generated by a standard cab under any ambient conditions - certainly those found in MI. From 1985 -91, that condenser was the only one specified for all series of the GM light truck line. It was...
