haven't looked at a carfax for this truck, but I bet it was in an accident. If you look close enough you can tell some of the body panels are not exactly lined up right on the passenger side. It...

So I noticed the day I got this truck, last year on easter weekend, that it had some wind noise coming from the passengers side door/window. In colder temperatures the noise gets louder.

If I am...

So far in the past few months this truck has had the fuel pump/filter, plugs/wires, intake gaskets, alternator, ignition switch, ignition lock cylinder housing, fuel pressure regulator,...

Your probably right.

Yeah, a very poorly installed remote start wiring job. When I was under there looking for the flasher relay I noticed everything was a cluster mess. Nothing was mounted where it was supposed to be,...

Just got it back today. Replaced lock cylinder housing and soldered some wires into the ignition switch.

Thanks for the words of encouragement there J lol. Well they have done right with my families stuff, and I haven't actually taken a vehicle to a shop in years, this is one of the reasons why.

He called today, said he needed to replace the ignition switch....Then later he says something about the ignition lock cylinder housing.

At this point I have so much other...

I think the guy at the shop actually did that. He said he has some experience with the passlock on these. He said he installed some remote starts on some of these GM vehicles with the passlock, but...

Seems like a simple concept to me.

The key doesn't have an external chip. It will start for a split second, literally like one revolution and then it shuts off. Its at a shop now, the guy is looking into something in the ignition...

Well I no longer have the remote start, I had the guy at the shop completely remove it and wire everything back to factory spec.

This good?

Ok...that is actually a great diagram of some of the solutions I was reading. Thanks J.

So I find out my truck has a remote start system wired in, had no idea until now. Bought the truck last year on easter weekend. The previous owners didn't give us any remote or anything

So I...

So I have a no start issue. It starts for a split second then it just continues to turn over. It will run long enough to burn off some starting fluid so I know I'm getting spark.

One thing I...

So looking at the bolts and the way the manifold gaskets have rubber that goes around the bolt holes, I am assuming that the bolts and the sleeves on the bolts are designed to seal the manifold when...

Warranty the gaskets out? I pulled them off and see nothing wrong with them.

Unless I am missing something, which is likely given my track record on this project...I got a...

Haynes was right, I just didnt realize it was Inch/lbs. I was right around 40lbs....it did crush one of the rubber grommets on one of the bolts, as well as broke another.

I've got the specs and the sequence from a haynes manual, the problem was I was using a bad torque wrench. I was using my dads old wrench, he goes "oooh yeah, I used that on my '67 Camaro back in...

re installing, I got it out though. It snapped up high thank god. Just spent all day running around and calling places, can't find anywhere. Wandered around a junk yard for about 45 minutes, no gm...

Well well....Last night....snapped a manifold bolt..........

You could have left it on but like i said but no matter. If you have a 3/8 or 1/4 torque wrench use it because if you dont tighten the intake right it will warp.[/QUOTE]


Yeah I saw your post...

Alright got the manifold off, peaked into the port for cylinder 8....and there sits the little rubber piece from my MAP sensor, sitting on top of the closed valve.

This is the gasket set I got.
