S-10 :: 1997 Chevy 4.3 Vortex - New AC System Not Working After Installation
May 3, 2016
I have a 97 chevy s10 4.3. Did a complete new ac system installation. Install new ac pump and put oil in holes, new condensor, new accumulator, new evap core, orifice tube, ac hoses. Did a vacuum for a couple of min it went to -28 closed the manifold gauges and turned off vacuum pump..waiting 30mins it held -28. Next added freon and put about 3 cans of freon. System took freon starting cooling fine. Ran truck for about two hours then heard some noises near glove box then ac started losing its cool slowly. Did i over charge? not enough oil in compressor? Did i damage compressor? How can i check compressor before i buy another..

I have a 1997 F150. I installed a trailer towing kit round 7 pin. I followed the instruction and replaced three different fuses after installation. The passenger side turn signal will not work. I replaced the bulb. The brake light works and the bulb is on when the lights are on it just will not blink. When the turnsignal is on it clicks very quickly.

A while ago, the front (mid) tank on my '97 F350 4x4 stopped functioning. I thought that because when I'd switch to the front tank, it died. I decided to put it off and use the rear tank cos it worked.
Today I accidentally bumped the fuel tank switch to front, and it was working! Truck didn't die then I noticed the fuel gauge pegged past full. Having tested older trucks by grounding out the gauge sending unit wire, it would peg past full. So I think I had an electrical issue that caused the front fuel pump to stop working in the first place, not that it went bad as I originally thought...
So, does that mean the front fuel pump had been working all this time, just not grounded? Does the front fuel pump ground itself on the tank or is there a grounding point? I currently can't find any way to see how it was grounded, as it's crusty and all.

Well I just set the timing on my rebuilt chevy 5.7 1999 suburban. It still runs sluggish when I accelerate and idles nice when it'd parked. I rebuilt the whole part part of engine. This is what I did notice when I cleaned under the lower intake manifold where the fuel injectors plug in. Here is a attached picture.

I have a 2003 Chevy Malibu LS. Occasionally, my theft system light will come on when I start my car. I usually have to wait 10 minutes until it deactivates. I don't understand why it does this!

Is that normal? it says check connection of air conditions. Also the energy page went kind of blank on the battery part, and mpg and miles don't get updated any more, is that normal? how should I fix it?
I noticed there are three wire connector(besides antenna) connects to original audio system, I unplugged all of them, I plugged two of them to the new audio system, should I plugging in the other one back to it, does that work?

I have a pretty stock 98 Ranger XLT (Single cab long bed) MFG 11-1998. 3.0 v6, automatic, 2wd. Manual crank windows, Manual mirrors and I presume manual locks as well (All tho aesthetically they look just like powered locks, pins sit flush with panel when locked) It has the PATs system (uses a transponder key and has the theft light). When I got the truck I got one key nothing more.
I would LIKE to have an OEM alarm system in this truck. Blinking lights, remote, that sort of thing.
My questions, would this truck have come with the alarm computer (I think its called the RAP module). If so where would it be located? If I don't have one, can I buy one, plug it in, program remotes and use it? If so how do i program the new remotes without power door locks ..

I have an 1980 Ford F-150 with an inline 300. I just installed a new egr valve on. Here is the problem:
After the engine warms up with everything connected, the engine starts to cut out and die while idling. This is due to the VCV opening up and allowing vacuum to the EGR. My question is why is this happening? The EGR is not suppose to open up during idle.

I have a 2006 F250 XLT Super Crew. I want to add an in dash double din DVD and run a flip down monitor from it for the back seat passengers. Now I can see an outline in the ceiling where the previous owner had one at one point and removed it prior to selling the truck.
I cant do headrest monitors due to the fixed headrest. When I look at the headliner there isn't much of a flat surface to mount to the head liner has two drop down pieces, one at the dome light and one 8" or so to the rear of the vehicle.
Installing a flip down monitor in this vehicle or one similar? if so how did you get the head liner to secure to the monitor and not leave a gap? I'm looking at a 14" Tview TFT monitor from Car ID.

I just bought a 2002 Excursion limited. It has a tiny flip-down screen in the roof and a VHS player in the back of the center console. I would like to install a larger-screen flip down DVD system, but do not want to chop things up. In other words, what options are out there for a stock-appearing setup with larger screen?

I am trying to install a 3 foot fiberglass cb antenna on a 2005 Ford F150 pickup truck. I originally was installing on the hood, using the hood channel mount, but in order for me to be able to get in and out of the garage without hitting/damaging the antenna on the garage door, I was going to have to go down to a 2 foot antenna. I don't want to have to go down to a 2 foot unless I just have to, so I am willing to relocate the antenna to another location.
The problem is this. I am limited to the places I can relocate. I could simply relocate it and mount to the bed rail, but I have an Undercover tonneau cover that overlaps all the way over the sides. One place that I was thinking about trying was between the cab and the bed, mounting it vertically in the center on the bed side. I could temporarily remove the tonneau cover to make installing the vertical mount easier. Is there somewhere else I should consider mounting?

I'm looking to install an aftermarket exhaust system (cat-back system) on my '01 F-250/6.8L/V10. I'm looking for recommendations....Ideally, I'd love to find a system where I don't have to remove the spare tire, and still have a dual exhaust where the tailpipes exit on the side (aft of the rear tires).

I have a 2016 F-350 Lariat. I want to install a second backup camera (high mount) to see my fifth wheel hitch when hooking up. It will be located either near or in the third brake light. I really do not want to add another display or change the OEM display. My question; is there any way to add a second camera input the the OEM head unit? Or can I use the A/V inputs and disable the OEM Backup Camera when I want to use the high mount.
