    A/c mode door cable issues.

    I have an issue with the cable that goes between the climate control panel and the blower box. The cable will stick and bend instead of moving the door. Net effect is that the air does not come out of the proper vents. I have disconnected the cable and verified the smooth operation at the blower...

    For years it would not work on 3, so I finally swapped in a new resistor pack, Then it would now work on 2. I think that's how it was... Well now, It only works on 1 and 4, but a lot of times it keeps running when in the off position, unless I switch to 1 and back off... the switch itself does...

    How to: Evaporator core replacement.

    It seems to be a common failure from what I have read that the top pipe into the evap core breaks off inside the air box.

    Front wheel bearing torque specs?

    It is a 94 4x4. Axle nut replaced with the Warn spindle nut kit. This should not make a difference. I do have the proper axle nut socket. My issue is that when I tighten down the bearings to where there is no play in the wheel, I get a bearing noise. I will take the bearings out later today and...

    Radius arm bushing replacement Question

    Is the Nut on the radius arm 1 1/4 or 1 1/8? I seem to have a problem getting a socket on the passenger side because the catalytic converter flange is in the way.

    Replacing rear hatch/5th door

    My back door bent when i had to force it open after the hydraulic rod failed and had to prop it open with a stick. Now the door does not close well anymore and i think i need to just replace it. Too much damage on it. Will a 2nd gen rear door fit? It looks the same.
