I actually did this today to test. I got off the spring with some needle nose pliers and then pushed it forward. I disconnected the wiring, but that was likely not necessary. Unfortunately it's not very cold, but it was the main issue. I moved it back and forth once the engine warmed up and made...

So I just unplug the connection in the first pic and zip tie out of the way, disconnect the two hoses in the second picture and remove the electrical heater control value and insert the new manual one in? The shut position on the valve should be AC and the open heat, correct?

Found it on Amazon. Thanks!

Is this...

I wasn't finding anything useful on YouTube and searches on here did not help much either. While I have fairly decent mechanic skills and a few good tools, I am pretty clueless when it comes to A/C systems on cars (successfully replaced capacitor on home A/C before! haha). I need help. When I...

I tried carriage bolts initially but didn't like the look and they don't lend themselves to tightening up well in this application since it is just a hole. I went with flat Allen head 3/8"-16 (NC) stainless steel 3/4" length bolts. It isn't perfect, but it looks much better. Anyone like this idea?

If your Smartbox goes out, Camoteck is the way to go.

I would try a propane torch and maybe some channel locks or specialized removal sockets. The welding idea sounds like something to consider as well, perhaps can weld some rod perpendicular and use as a lever to spin it out or weld a larger nut and get another socket. Was it rusted? This one...

Yes. I can MIG, flux, and stick weld; but not TIG as well.

I cannot speak to how much crapier non-Wellman non-AC Delco plugs will be, but the passenger side removal and installation on my M1151A1 is such a massive pain in the ass, I wanted to make sure they are the best. I have the A/C and turbo and just too tight of a space to work in. If your truck...

I am in AL, but should make no difference here. I got classic car insurance through American Collectors. Insured value is stated by customer. I really just wanted the liability coverage so I said $10k for comprehensive. I have a 2500 mi annual limit currently. Last renewal was less than $300 a...

Did a couple searches and nothing immediately came up on this. After side armor is removed during demil the body is left with holes. A couple have a nut/threaded backing, most just the aluminum body drilled out. What are some things you guys have done for a better cosmetic effect?

Yea, I got my doors from Adam at West Kentucky Surplus as well. He said they are stopping production of the RV camper window aluminum style, they are still on the website but listed "out of stock". It was a slight pain measuring and drilling out the holes and had to widen out the holes in a few...

I wondered why mine were so hard to get off and back on. I impacted them off, at no point could I spin them by hand. Never had that on any other vehicle, I wasn't sure if it was the paint on the stud. Probably some USMC private just blasting them with an impact?
