1991 gmc sierra headlights really dim

Bulbs do dim over time but they shouldn't be 'that' dim. With the engine running. Remove a bulb and use a test meter to test the voltage at the bulb socket, it should be between 12.5 and 13.2 volts. The with the engine off, test the voltage at the battery terminals. It should be just over 12 volts. Then test the bulbs with 2 wires to the battery. Spray the bulb sockets with WD40. Are the back reflector surface of the headlights in good condition? Have you polished off any yellowing and dirt from the headlight plastic lenses?

Remove the blend door motor and move the door by hand. Blend door motors are cheap. Why not just replace it?

91 sierra heater control display comes on shoes fan on low temperature centered vent on floor but none of the controls work

Could be the controller. Check the vacuum line from the engine to vacuum ball. then from the ball to the controller. Vacuum is what controls the vent actuators.

I have a 5.7 motor the heater works on the floor not on defrost what could the problem be

Under the dash near the floor there is a panel that moves to divert air where you select it to go. Some are vacume controled and others electrically controled. Some times it is just an actuator at this module that is bad and you just replace it.

Sounds like a timing issue. Has the timing belt been replaced? They are usually good for about 60K miles, depending on how hard the truck is driven.

Why my oil pressure raises while idle, then falls when engine is reved

Likely electrical issue or bad fuel pump which draws excessive amps when reving up thus blowing fuse and creating drain on electrics making oil gauge reading drop.

Ok I am wondering if my motor in my 91 gmc 5.7 l b8 is a vortec or a 350 it has throttle body carb and not sure thought if I could interchange it with an older 350 ..

Here, is what I think you are asking. The TBI intake from a 91 will fit the same size engine from 88 to 95. The Vortec didn't come out till 96 I believe. So if your 91 is the original engine then it is not a Vortec motor. If you want to swap your 5.7 with another 5.7 (5.7 = 350) Then the 88-95 should work, Just double check your sensors and locations as the plugs may be different and or in different locations. I know my 88 GMC and my 94 chevy (both K1500's) were a little different. Hope this helps.

I have a 1991 gmc sierra and my oil pressure is dropping down to zero and it has began to knock it was not knocking or anything until i noticed my brake light was flashing now i reset the computer but

These symptoms usually mean you have a failed main or big end bearing in the engine. If it gets more noticeable as the engine warms up, that type of failure is even more likely. If the knocking varies with revs it is more likely a big end. You may be able to get the sump off without pulling out the engine, and do an inspection. I can't think what the brake warning light would have to do with all that.

Find the fuse to fuel gauge on 1991 gmc siera

That fuse feed the whole dash. You have either a bad sending unit in the tank or a bad wire. Rarely does the gauge itself go bad.

Windshield Wiper

Unfortunately, theae are common problems. There is more than likely a bad circuit board. Most major auto part stores carry these. A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if this answer is helpful to you. windshield-wiper-zb4bomd1rt4qms0dqd12kkt2-5-0.jpg

Is there a good heat sheild to use

there is a kevlar heat shield tube that can be used around electrical wires Probable available from an electrical equipment whole sales shop. Next fibreglass matting cut into strips and wrapped around the wire will do the trick. Just do not use epoxy as this is what makes fibre glass inflammable. Best bet is to have an accredited auto electrician make up a battery cable with a length so that the cable can be positioned away from any heat source.
