Mad Texan I have to ask, is this your first Chevrolet because you sure have a handle on the mechanics involved. Great job and I hope that you can find time to drive your truck. Keep it Going on.

Take your time and keep after the project! Even if you just look at the parts and figure out ways to accomplish even the little things different solutions will come to light. There are ways to do things if even indirectly. If you find that one bolt that will work today and do nothing else you...

I have began bidding again on trucks of all flavors and have been thinking about how long the wait would be for pick up. Will they let you pick up truck without 97? As long as the 97 comes I am in no hurry but a 1 year wait kind of concerns me.

Yes it was, I thought that I would not take the credit from someone else, that stated a stone cold fact.

Sorry I would not use 4inch bolts to do the job anyway. Nothing I have read makes me think that the flywheel is damaged. Now the man is unbolting the trans to replace the flywheel. It will not hurt to replace. I could give many reasons for the engine not turning over. And to eliminate any...

Enjoy the work. The reaction of one foot.

Blocking the engine on the oil pan as to not push in bottom with a 2x6 and a small hydraulic jack will help articulate the angles of both assemblies, trans and engine, so that the angles line up on assembly and to disassemble without getting into a bind, sliding on the pilot bolts much easier...

CUCV Diagnostic plug under dash, is that the wire you are talking about?

Have you separated the the fuse box yet? Look to see if the connections in the box are clean of the water protection paste. I took mine and separated the box and cleaned the contact points up, enough to make the contacts work and put mine back together and cured allot of my wire problems.

Hello jgilman, you posted on an old thread. You need to open a NEW thread about your problems and allot of Troops with information will be by to help. But you need to open a new thread. Welcome from Missouri!

Welcome At @Guyfang He comes on later at night being just east of us.

Congratulations to Bill, Jan, MUTT on keeping History alive.

Welcome from Missouri! Looks like you got a runner there. Someone has been visiting as the spark wires do not look real old. My advise is to check the fuel and if it is old then do not even try to start with that fuel. Get some fuel line put it into a fresh can of fuel and hook up to the fuel...

I just want to say Rutjes that it is great when someone posts useful information without having to write blocks of paragraphs. Also the library of information here on the site is very useful as well. That is what brings me here to SS time and again, knowledge.

I have used permatex no.2 for over 40 years on every head bolt or stud I have ever removed and or replaced. I have never had one leak. Even when using ARP on my HP engines I use permatex no.2. I am sure that there is other newer sealants but why change what works.

Glad that you found the problem. That is the reason I always suggest to look at the bulbs and sockets over closely. Water seepage is the primary reason for socket failures. Look at the lens gaskets close as when they crack or are missing water gets blown in when traveling and from idle...

How do the ride heights compare to each other?

Very helpful testing procedure done right on the truck. :goodjob:
