1988 GMC Jimmy Questions & Answers
How can I replace fuel filter?
Located under driver side on the inside the frame should just unscrew with 2 wrenches just be careful not to get gas all over you the line nuts should be a size 16 mm wrench and depending on the name brand of the filter 18 mm or bigger will be needed to hold the filter end as back up
I change the thermostat in my 88 GMC Jimmy and now it stalls out it won't run
Be sure the thermostat was installed correctly, and is the factory temperature unit...most of yours would be 195 Degree to open...most will not let you install backwards...but some can...do you have any leaks? Be sure gasket or gasket sealer has not affected the open/close of the thermostat...probably should replace the thermostat again with the correct one. Hope this helps.
PUT NEW STARTER IN BUT ENGINE WONT TURN OVER
1) Low battery, not enough juice. 2) Starter housing dirty, and engine block area where it connects to. Starter gets ground off of the engine block. (Negative connection) Positive connection from battery goes to solenoid. Clean starter, and engine area where it mounts. 3) Brushes for starter are completely worn down. The click you hear/heard, is one of the last it will make before the brushes are changed. Test the starter off of the car with jumper cables, and a small jumper wire for the solenoid. Starter works you know it isn't the problem. Post back in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette
Can I switch out the 700 r transmition for a turbo
as long as u get a turbo 350 trans that is the same length from bellhousing to tailshaft u should be able to. the only thing is the 700r trans has a t.v. cable to control the shift where as the 350 has a vacuum line that goes to the modulator on the side of trans. if your not 4 wheel drive u might have issues w/ speedo being electric vs. cable
