Thanks
with two fuel injectors on top ( each side has 2 wires going into the top of the fuel
injector assemble) It looks to me as if to much fuel is coming out as i look down the card throat.More like a heavy spray as appossed to it misting out.
I've checked Chilton book, but it has no wiring for the radio system, and a call to the local Chevy dealership service department was no help. The gentleman I talked to said he didn't know and they had no wiring diagrams. When I asked him how they worked on them, he said they had access to computerized diagrams, but tyey would not let customers look at them.
Pretty different from how I've been treated by Toyota and Chrysler, both of whom have been very open when I needed similar info. And me in the market for another truck in the next year or so....
Here's what I found so far, hope it helps someone else as much as me!

First click on the appropriate year for your truck, then make sure that you select the "normal size" icon, otherwise you won't be able to see it.

If I drive to the corner store, shut the truck off, go in and come out. The truck starts right up. But if it sits forget it. :lemon:
Bet it starts lousy, too.
Good luck,

Thx
Another possibility might be an airflow sensor, but if the vehicle is not recording any codes, that one might be tougher to ferret out!
Good luck.

I seem to have a bit of a problem with my brakes. I noticed it about 3 days ago, I have to give the brakes hell to slow it down. I hear the sound of compressed air or something, so I figured it's probably just my brakes needing to be bled. The only thing is, I have a bleeding screw, I know its a 2 person job, and I know 1 person has to be inside stepping and holding down the break but I don't know what the other person is supposed to be doing. I don't even know where the bleeding screw goes?! Please someone help me.
Open your master cylinder (in the engine compartment) and make sure both reservoirs are filled with fluid. Close it. Now you are ready to begin. With the person in the cab applying pressure to the brake pedal, open the bleeder valve with the appropriately sized wrench - it has standard threads. as soon as it is loosened slightly, you should start seeing bubbles from the hose in the jar and the brake pedal will depress for your helper. When the pedal reaches full compression, the person in the cab should hold it, tell you it is down, and then you close the valve. You tell the other person it is closed, that person releases the pedal, applies pressure, and you repeat 3-4 times until no bubbles form and only fluid enters the jar (you'll see the fluid level rising!).
Repeat this procedure for all 4 brakes and, if you have significant amounts of air or are transferring quite a bit of fluid to the jar, be sure to check the reservoir level and again at the end of the procedure.
It is quite simple and should not require more than 10 minutes to perform. You should not need to remove any wheels to do it. Do not reuse the fluid that is expelled into the jar, as it may contain impurities that could (conceivably) clog your brake lines. It is not absolutely necessary to use the hose and jar - you could just open the valves without them - but this makes it much less messy and the air in the line becomes quite obvious. I highly recommend using the hose and jar!
Good luck!

i would suggest looking down the throttle body, and see if it is injecting while cranking. if it is, then check for spark while cranking.
that will narrow down what the problem is.
p.s. if you have the same problem, get a factory egr valve, or you won't pass emissions.
Your recommendation was right on..........the cushion pad was missing and that was exactly the source of the clank.
I cut three inch strips of old fan belt, took some JB weld and placed the strips on the leaf and now it rides nice and quiet!
That noise was just about to drive me to the point of insanity so I very much appreciate your insights and your recommendation.
Out of curiousity, how did you attach your homemade plastic inserts to the leaf? I thought about some designs but a bolt running through the hole would seemed to allow metal to metal contact.
Thanks again for sharing your experience......
are you getting any "check engine light"?
also, did you remove the harness from the bulkhead when you pulled the engine? there could be a loose conection there.
enclosed clutch release arm w/slave cylinder bolter to tranny housing..
all new components purchased..master,slave,and line
the instuctions for the slave indicate that the push rod should have a retaining strap keeping it compressed inside the slave until enought pressure is built up,causing the strap to break,and sending the pushrod into the clutch release arm..my new unit did not have the retaining strap..when i called the parts store and had them look at others,they were described as bieng the same as the unit i have.
my question is this,if the slave cylinder is instaled with the pushrod extended,will i be able to proberly bleed the system,or will there be an air pocket that will not expell?
p.s.on this tranny,there is a plug about the size of a half dollar right where the pushrod meets the throw out arm...so if it came down to it,i could compress the rod into the cylinder if need be..or i may take the slave back and get one with the restraining strap..
and disconnected my computer all together. you'll have remove your EGR Valve and put a "block off " plate in it's place, and after that you should be free to remove it all.
p.s. do they even make conversions or will i have to replace the hub, or can i even do that i dont know i just got the truck so i dont know much about em please if yall know somethin help me out thanks.
Thanks-
George
