Thank you kindly!

Basically just trying to figure out the difference between these two alts before I rebuilt them. Thanks.

Finally got the alts tested and I'm about to rebuild. I first rebuilt them in 2013, but it seems they're shot. Both stock alts are identical (have the isolated ground post), other than the capacitor on the passenger side being on the outside. My questions are: 1) why on the outside of only...

Hey guys, Searched a few threads regarding axle seals/leaks but couldn't find any photos that helped me diagnose this... For a while now the right front tire rim has been collecting grease/soot. I've heard it could be soot from brake dust but the calipers were changed a couple years ago and...

Starter was around $80 from O'Reilly's. The flexplate can only be put on one way right? The raised rectangular patch (whatever its called) on the plate should be facing the rear right?

No machining, same housing. Correct flexplate. Yes, they shimmed, but shimming wont move the starter forward.

Hey guys, Had my 27mt direct drive starter rebuilt because I must have improperly installed a new 28mt gear reduction and it chewed up the flexplate while the tranny mechanics were doing some adjustments. Now, for the life of them, they can't seem to install the 27mt with a new flexplate...

So this nasty grinding thing JUST happened to me when I tried to start it. Only thing I had done since I last parked was an LMC headlight wiring kit. I looked under the truck and found that a cracked starter bolt had fallen out (i'm assuming after this failed starting attempt). Recently...

My stereo loudly pops my speakers and my gen 2 light flashes when I brake. From what i've read both of these things can be related to a bad earth ground, but I've checked a few obvious spots already. I can't figure out which ground would be associated with applying the brake from looking at...

This clip is a better example of the sound... https://youtu.be/70dX6tfikFE

https://youtu.be/o0UHTgBGyTY Putting my ear to the oil pan is where it's loudest, or maybe just beyond it, more towards the rear. It stops when I put it into gear sometimes, but usually I can hear it again at random times when I'm driving. I know it leaks oil, and possibly ATF. I haven't had...

Nevermindaua

So the one they gave me was this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BWD0/PT778.oap?year=1984&make=Chevrolet&model=K5%2BBlazer&vi=1050589&ck=Search_pt778_1050589_-1&keyword=pt778 I just compared it to the one I should've gotten...

Maybe I got mixed up here... After reading the sticky about the temp sensor, O'Reilly showed a part that looked like this (but it's called a coolant temp sensor)...
