I hear ya! Even though I have acquired a couple of manuals and such since acquiring the truck, I catch myself searching online for something before the light bulb goes off and I remind myself to go look at those books I just purchased. They weren't meant to be dust collectors.

Well, three trips to town and back in her and she seems to be running well!

The last two of wich were to get her registered and go to one of those self service car washes to blast all of the residual oil off that i could. 24 hours later, i checked my cardboard to find.........NO LEAKS!

Took the heater controls and cables out since all 3 levers are broke. Soaking the cables as Barry suggested. Had to oil up the hinges in the duct work as they felt stiff as well. Discovered my defrost duct was missing going to the drivers side. Whenever i get new levers, that will be ready to put back in. Still need a blower motor as well.

Next i plan to start troubleshooting and modifying my light wiring (head light and parking) based on suggestions i have discovered here.

Finally got her home!

Brake lights are iffy...sometimes one comes on sometimes two. Wiring check in order as well.
More than likely, it is the turn signal cancellation in the steering column. The plastic bits are a common failure. There is a whole discussion about that elsewhere in the site.

These are funny critters I replaced the flasher last year and it just sat over the winter and tried my turn signals. They didn't work and after checking everything out it needed a new flasher, oh well...Vernski

Thanks. I'll hunt for that. I have found several wiring articles on the club portion of the site. Yesterday afternoon was spent hanging out in the storm shelter. Looks like we may get to do that again later today...oh boy! Then I'll be out of town for the weekend, so my troubleshooting tasks keep getting put on hold.

It's funny you say that. After getting her home, I opened the glove box to find about half a dozen flashers ... and they were all different. I'm not sure what was going on there.

Right now headlights and taillights work, though on the low beams driver side light is pretty dim. Both rear turn signals work, but when I turn on the left turn signal, the dash indicator is intermittent and the front signal does nothing...yes, the bulb is good.

When I turn on the right signal, the dash indicator does nothing, but the front signal may work or it may not. I assume some loose connections somewhere. Maybe that is what WDShaffer was referring to.

Its sounds like more the one non-grounding problem? I have been recently working on mine which hasn't been touched in ten plus years and I have been cleaning all grounding connections and its improving by leaps & bounds. Nice Truck and love the pics

Looks like my housing has more issues than the gasket that was missing. That lower spring was not in my housing and the large washer between it and the filter was actualy on the outside of the housing with the small washer pictured above the bolt. All of the other pieces shown around the large washer are not present.

Who knows what else is not assembled correctly on this beast.

I am sure I will find out as I continue to work on it through the years.

The little parts get lost over the years from careless ones that figure it don't need that if it still functions in any manner. GMC put them in there for a reason and leaking may be the result, isn't these little problems fun to cope with?...Vernski
