1997 Chevrolet K1500 - Page 5 Questions & Answers
Air will not blow through front vents
The lube job would not have a effect on this . I would check the fuse box for a blown fuse it sounds like a blend door inside of the airbox under the dash board the part is cheap but depending on the year and make and model it can be a real pain to get to , cause a 94 linicon town car took 5hrs to get to it and put back together
TANSMISSION
My 1997 Z71 did this twice last Summer. PRNDL indicator didn't work, Tach, Speedometer, didn't work. Only 1st & 3rd in auto Trans worked. Fuse for all this wasn't getting any power. Replaced ignition switch. Fixed problem.
Getting very hard to start
Sounds like a timing issue with the symptoms you gave. Have it checked by a good mechanic with good knowledge of your make. Also some of the after market programmers can create major concerns. Try returning everything to factory settings and see if all issues dissappear before going to a mechanic.
Locked in Park
Worn motor and transmission mounts will do that.
Jack up the bumper ONLY to relieve the pressure to the steering lock.
Heater does not get warm
Assuming that you have the proper amount of coolent added, check where your heater hoses connect to the engine block for rust and corrossion, this is a common area to clog up, preventing coolent flow from circulating through your heater core. If ok, check for a thermostat that is stuck open.
Air from heater wont get hot
Check to see if your heater hoses are hot when engine is at normal operating temp. (180 to 220 degrees F) If they don't get hot like the large radiater hoses do, then your heater hoses are clogged, probably at the point they connect to engine. Remove heater hoses from engine and I bet you will see dirt, grime, and corrosion where you took them off, restricting the flow of coolent through your heater core.
