Look in the yellow pages under "Transmission Parts". Go to them and buy the proper cooler. They will show you the proper way to install the cooler. Do NOT use an auto parts store. (The top line is from the trans. to the rad., the bottom line is the return. Fluid flows downward in the radiator.)
Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do, that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.
When replacing the knock sensor in a GMC Truck will there be a need to replace a gasket?
THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANSWER IS: MAYBE
You need to provide the following information:
- Year
- 1500 or Sierra or Half Ton or 2500 or 3500
- Engine size.
What makes the fuel gauge arrow float back and forth giving inaccurate readings of the gas tank?
Generally it involves the float or sending unit. If vehicle had a fuel pump installed recently talk to the people who did it and inform them of this!
33s on 8" wide wheels should work fine just remember your speedo will be off
Where is the fuse or circuit breaker for the headlights on a 1994 Sierra 1500?
The circuit breaker for the headlights is intergrated with the headlight switch.
Do you have a Belt diagram for 1989 GMC Sierra?
Check the belt wiring diagram on the top of your radiator.
How many quarts of oil 2009 GMC sierra?
My serria takes 5.5 Qt. of oil, that is with a 5.3L. larger engine will require more oil!
How do you install an outside door handle on a 1994 GMC Sierra?
you have to remove the interor door panel then take and pull up on the outside handel you will see a rod on the end of ti there is a plastic peace gently un clip the plastic peace by turning it. now there should be 2 nuts on the back of the handle remove them. and if your sierra has the option on it there will be a lock cylinder that is held on by a c clip remove that and you should be able to remove the whole handle
Where can I find the radio wiring diagram for a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab?
try website http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/
This is a very useful site, but it is for security(how to wire alarms) nothing about the radio
Answer: turbulated or swirling air behind the vehicle
Answer:
Drag is the generic term for friction caused by the interaction of a fluid or gas on a fluid or solid. Drag is somewhat related to the materials interacting (as regular solid on solid friction is), a great portion related to shape, and slightly related to by temperature. Surface area of the substances directly correlates to the amount of drag experienced.
A flat thin surface placed so largest face is towards the flow of fluid, it has all it's area in contact with the fluid and if the force is perpendicular to the surface, and drag is maximized. Rotate the surface and you change the angle the fluid hits the surface and how much is imparted to it. Turn it sideways (90' from flat) and you have the least amount of drag: initial surface area is dropped by 2 to 1000's of times. The thicker the second surface is, the less drag is reduced by rotating the surface. This is called "angle of attack" when it comes to wings and air. Angle of attack changes both friction and lift.
A wing (on a plane) is in an offset teardrop shape because (what I was taught in school but read somewhere is not quite right ..) the flow speeds over the wing need to be different to create the force of lift (vertical pressure.) The distance the fluid has to move in the same time increases with more offset. The bigger the difference in flow speeds, the greater the lift (to a limit of course.) BUT. Since an increase in surface area in contact equals an increase in friction, the wing produces lift but "fights" against forward movement: induces drag.
Design of the wing, the body, the control surfaces, even the engine all change flow characteristics of air over a plane, and therefore change the drag generated. If there were no drag, much less powerful engines would be needed to over come drag.
Gas and liquid flows come in two generic types: laminar and turbulent. Laminar is seen in the middle of a river - with no obstructions the fluid all travels in orderly layers and in straight lines. Remember an object in motion tends to stay in motion in the same direction unless acted on by an outside force. Turbulent flow is what you see when the laminar flow hits and object. The friction between the object and the fluid causes the fluid to "stick" around the object and clashes with the laminar flow from the rest of the fluids. These cause eddys and whorls (spinning vortices) in the fluid and increase the drag felt by the fluid.
Subsonic (less than the speed of sound, ~700mph at sea level) planes use the old offset teardrop shape to generate large amounts of lift and because the speed forward is not near as important with high speed planes (generally military) they want slower laminar flow over most surfaces to increase mileage and control by the crew. Trans (around) and Supersonic planes have wings designed differently because at sonic speeds the flow changes dramatically and what was efficient now has lost the ability to generate lift, prviously laminar flow is now turbulent (often because the layers are packed so very closely by the plane flying through them.) All planes are designed to increase laminar flow of air over them, they have to do it in different ways due to the characteristics of air flow at different speeds.
Not all turbulent flow is bad - a lot of planes have small "tiny rudders" on their wings at different places to help direct the laminar flow as wanted - like small orderly placed rocks in a stream, these appendages create small amounts of turbulence to control a larger laminar flow.
You need to bleed the system like you would a brake system. This requires a friend (or you can buy a bleeding system). Have you friend press and hold the clutch down. Release the bleed bolt on the slave cylinder and air should come out. Tighten the bleed bolt. Have you friend pump the clutch a few times and hold it down. Release the bleed bolt and air with some fluid should come out. Tighten the bleed bolt. Continue this process until no air comes out and just fluid from the bleed bolt on the slave cylinder.
Position of knock sensor on 1990 GMC Sierra K1500?
It is screewed in the engine block over by the starter.
What transmission does 1996 GMC sierra has?
If its an automatic half ton its the 4l60E if its a one ton its the 4l80E
What makes your 1994 GMC sierra cut out and backfire?
could be a number of things the fuel pump usually goes out on these trucks. You should get the fuel pressure tested. A bad plug or even a plug wire not being properly connected could do this. You should also check out the rotor bug under the distributor this may cause it also if it is bad or corroded. just a few things to do before getting too serious. meaning you could have a leak inside the engine dripping on the plugs. your distributor gear could be warn also causing your timing to be off.
What kind of paint should you use to paint a car at your house?
Any of the quality brands will work...I have painted many cars outside/at home, etc and the key is prep and keeping the area as dust free as possible. But also, some kind of "controlled" venting to allow the air to clear during and after painting. The other big question is single stage or two stage painting...single stage is a mix of color and clear vs. a two stage in which the color is applied first, and then the clear is applied. I prefer two stage just because if I make an error with the color, you allow it to dry (which is quick), and you can then do a light sanding, etc. before moving on to the clear. Srnoncom
Where is the TCC solenoid located on a 1990 Chevy Cavalier 3.1 transmission?
In most cases it should be under an access cover on the end of the trans. Raise the front of the vehicle, remove the front driver's side tire, remove the wheel well access cover and you should see the solenoid cover. Please note: you will need high temp "form a gasket" to re-install the access cover once you've replaced the tcc solenoid.
