how do i fix my retarded electronic choke
you do not need to take your radiator core off to do this, just take the wheel well out and undo the rest of the bolts and remember what number of shims go where.
further explain your problem with your choke, im not quite sure what your asking. i would make sure that you have a constant 12 volts to it with the ign on and the you can always undo the 3 bolt on the black plastic cap that hold the choke spring and turn in one way or the other to open or close the choke a little when its cold.

Cab lights. Me likey. ;D
-
they are all solid lights too! lol and thanks! i had 1 problem which was 1 bolt on the top front corner of the rocker that was hard n ya i took the drivers side off n sorta never knew there were shims..... lol that will be fun puttin it back on lol thanks for the help!

The store here sells those, they are not the cheapest you will find, but they will fit right ( and are close to the same gauge thickness of OEM if not the same ).
There are a lot of people on here that will steer you away from buying the cheapest body panels out there, they not only do not fit right but they are literally made out of the thinnest and cheapest material they can find. You can look through some of the threads in the body section and read what other members have said.

ok thanks im young n gunna lift it so i do not need perfection or oem parts i have the original parts on this truck right now ill be keeping them
-

Honestly never heard of them but researching the sight and looking at the prices plus 24month warranty it wouldn't hurt to try them out. Just keep in mind that the rebuild parts are most likely OE style and will only handle so much power. Besides, if you don't know how or have the want to, to rebuild yours then I'd still say go for it. I mean with what you mentioned bout your tranny fluid being milky it definitely needs to be rebuilt. Most likely the previous owner had some encounters with some water plus leaking gaskets.

Is it like a strawberry milkshake looking fluid? Sounds like coolant or water has got into it

Clean everything really well with some degrees er and sand it all with 80 grit then spray or roll it on. That's how we do it in the shop and that's how i did my truck. Just Make sure you get decent bed liner
-
thasnks i did that all i dont gotta clean the new parts cuz they r all from truck so ya. next is rebuilding the nv4500 n then throwing it in there and the t case and ya.. make her scream i gotta buy a carb kit tho
-
does amy here have any goood advice on rebuild a transmission specifically an nv4500 i am rebuild for this truck and the bearing for the input shaft is shot so im gunna scream becuase the kit i bought didnt have the bearing in it.
-
Don't really have m such to say besides I think those trans have a lock nut problem that allows it to slip out of fifth gear? Id check into fixing that while you are in there. As far as help goes Google and YouTube are your best friends ;)
-

http://www.mediafire.com/download/07c12clxh4kzfib/86_chevy_build.zip click the file download it its a zip file inside there is alll the pictures of the build let me know what u guys think!
-
why make someone download them? host them on photobucket if thats what you want to do. then no downloading files/viruses not saying you do have any but i dont download anything from people/companys i dont know and try to go on sites i trust.
-
idk how to do photobucket. its cuz its all the pictures from the whole build so far thats y it wouldnt even let me upload 1.
-
You can upload up to 4 per post as long as they are not huge in size. Most people aren't going to pull down a zip file from a hosting site....
-
i know i use media file just to have a spot to download all my programs photoshop, games and documents. photobucket is easy, once you register click upload photos. and move them to a file and use the image code associated with that picture. you can even make a gallery, but lets say you upload a picture to the main folder then use the image link so we can see it on here. if you move that picture to another file the image code changes and the picture you posted on here wont be here anymore. you can upload files like capt said but the size is limited but they will always be here dont have to worry about them moving or changing
