WTB: Transmission - 5-speed 2x4 for 1988 or 1989 Chevy C1500 pickup by
Gene
Want to buy a 5-speed manual transmission for a 1988 or 1989
Chevrolet C1500 2x4 pickup. I am pretty sure it is called a "GetrAG".
Possibly a model NV3500. It's VERY confusing, because everybody
tells me something different. GM said that they only made two manual
transmissions for the "new" body...

Pulsator in Fuel Tank 96 Chev 1500 PU with 305 by
Mountain
I am in the process of replacing my in-tank fuel pump in a 96 Chev 1500
PU with a 305. I noticed the fuel pump is connected to the line via a
"pulsator". Should I also replace the pulsator? It seems likely that
the fuel pump may have been ok, but the fuel could have had an internal
tank leak via...

I took my Ranger in for an oil change and tire rotation at Meineke. It has
13,400 miles on it and is 2WD. It had 18 miles on it when I got it from the
dealer.
This was the first time that I had the tires rotated. I'm sure it was over
due but I didn't think it was by much. The mechanic called...

Now it was 20yrs ago for my last self performed flush on a 78 Nova, but
