20 Most Recent 1988 Chevrolet C1500 Questions & Answers

Hi my name is Tom and I am here to help.

aaah!! the wonderful chevy 350. Probably the best engine ever made. It has had a track record few other engines can match.

Enough of old school. Unless they have moved the sensor in the last 30 years, you should find the sensor below the head 1/2 way to the oil pan.

Remove the electrical connection on the top and using the proper open ended wrench unscrew the sensor. Replace with new sensor and reattached the wire and you are home free.

If I forgot something or I can be of further help feel free to call or email me. Either way, please rank my advice so I can become a better helper in the future.

Pry with a flat screwdriver.

This can be found in the Hanes repair manual that you can get at any auto parts store, Auto Zone, step by step with photos. Not a hard job but you will new a steering wheel puller to get the lock ring out and the wheel off.

The fan is activated by the temperature sender and turns on when it reaches a preset temperature. Yours may be faulty so switches on at a low temperature so it needs replacing (the sender not the fan). It is also possible that there is a wiring problem and the switch has somehow short circuited so is permanently live, meaning when you turn the key the fan starts. If it has always done this, then it is also possible that a previous owner has done the short circuit, something I have done in the past but I put it through a switch that you activate when in traffic and the air flow is low. It might be worth tracing the wires from the sender to see if there is a switch somewhere in the cab.

I was told that they could be used to store extra fuses in case one burnt out. If you add something you could maybe use to wire it in.

FAITH, SOUNDS LIKE FUSE BLOWN, AUTOZONE MAY HELP IF YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO THEM SEE THE GUY ON THE COUNTER TELL THEM YOUR PROBLEM! THANKS

Perhaps. Please go in very soon to a good honest shop and have your oil pressure tested with a meter. If it is really bad, go back to regular oil.

Depending on the model by production date. Some have hub that you have to lock in. The newer version the lock in was done in the front differential. There is a n electric plunger that locks in the 4 wheel drive. There is a harness that goes to it, check the harness to insure it is not damaged. there is a brown wire that ties back to the transmission that must be hook up for it to work properly. Last but most forgotten is you must back up to fully engage the 4 wheel drive. Hope this helps.

check the ground on the frame rail below the driver side rear tire

Check for broken wiring in the harness that exits the door and enters the vehicle contained in the rubber boot

Yes, you can get a Manuel operated window and install it in your present door you just have to disconnect and remove the present window motor and the elec. You may have to change the door pad as well so you have a hole in the panel for the manual crank for the window.
