Loosen the plastic petcock valve at the bottom of the radiator to drain the coolant from the radiator, loose and remove both hose clamps slide them down away from the clamping area then take a pair of large channel lock pliers and sqeeze gently and turn the rubber hose to crack the bond that exists between the rubber hose and the metal tube, be sure not to squeeze too tight when getting the hose to turn, proceed to pull the hose off. Install the new hose with clamps slide the clamps over the hose ends and tighten them being sure to locate them 1/4" from the end of the hose, refill radiator and check for leaks.

93 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 extended cab , shifts hard into drive and when shifting from 1st to 2nd. just put in a new 4L60E transmission.

You have the electronic version of the 4L60, so if it was doing it before with your old tranny. I'm going to point the finger at the computer. Probably nothing wrong with your old unit.
If you didn't replace this, then maybe you should.

I have an 1995 GMC Sierra Truck that overheats whenever I drive for more than 20min. with the A/C on .What can the problem be ?

Your thermostat may need to be replaced and your water pump may be weak and need to be replaced also. Try replacing the thermostat and flushing out the coolant system and replacing it with new antifreeze. Also inspect the radiator hose, check for the condition there in, if there too soft and when they get hot, the hose may collapse and restrict the flow of antifreeze though the system. After that has been done and you are still over heating, the water pump could be weak and needs to be replaced. Recap: service the cooling system with new 50/50 mix antifreeze, replace the thermostat and replace any coolant hose that is soft. Good luck and hope this helps, keep me posted, be glad to help.

'95 sierra 2500. not heating up. replaced thermostat .

check and see if the heater valve is opening. it should be on one of the heater hoses. If it is open make sure that all the air is out of the engine. check and see if both sides of the radiator are the same temp. They should both be the same. If it was working before you changed the stat, then it could be a bad stat
