Members Rides / Re: 1986 C10 after 14 years finally started on

« Last post by zieg85 on Today at 05:30:06 PM »

At last a little progress... It now steers with the floor shift column.  It felt good to work on it finally.  Went back to work after 6 years of retirement so spare time is scarce combined with decent weather.

General Discussion / Re: Windshield wiper hose

« Last post by Mike81K10 on April 26, 2024, 08:28:16 PM »

The hose terminates at two spray nozzles that is attached to the cowl cover with a screw. It sprays on the windshield from the nozzle and does not connect to the wiper.

I lived in Hampton, VA when I was stationed there for the Air Force.

General Discussion / Windshield wiper hose

Are there "clips" of some sort the hoses attach to on the wiper blade assembly?  I don't see anything to plug the hoses into.  They are just dangling and flop around.

Thank you!

I understand about the health thing, I've been having to sub work out myself, and I hate it, especially when it's  something I've done 100 times.  Good luck on the rehab from bypass...

Think I'll put my diagnostic rig on and see what the traces look like on the screen for each cylinder.

RTX = Retro, they were modeled after the original dash layouts for each year split.  73-75. 76-78, 79-87(91)

I prefer the look of these also.   I am only showing as Mike asked and this is the reason we don't offer factory replacement

Hi, The truck seems to be starting better, wires at coil were loose. The only reason I did not do the job myself is that I am recovering from bypass surgery. Now that I have seen the work that is coming out of this shop now and the prices, I wont go back. I was a little hesitant going in but gave them the work. They did the tune up, trans service, and an alternator. Thanks to everybody here for the help.

So is the consensus that the severe reduction in volume, i.e. 1/2"ID to 1/4"ID is not a concern?
