Hi Darren, If the brake cylinder in that wheel has seized it will need to have the drum removed which will not be easy. Chock the wheels, make sure the parking brake is fully released and loosen the lug nuts. Jack the vehicle and remove the wheel. Open the bleeding nipple at the back of the splash plate, thereby releasing the pressure of brake fluid. If the wheel rotates freely when you do that, the problem is with the master cylinder which will need replacement. If the wheel does not rotate after doing that work the wheel backwards and forwards until it rotates. Once it has become free, you should be able to work it off. When it is off you will need to disassemble the brake assembly. Before doing that make a detailed sketch of the whole assembly before taking anything off. Once the assembly is removed and you've grazed your fingers and cussed enough, remove the wheel cylinder and free the pistons and disassemble by removing the pistons. It would be a good idea to replace the cylinder but if it is not scored inside replacement brake seals will be in order. Make sure you fit them the correct way around and reassemble after installing the new brake seal kit. Adjust the brake so that travel is even. Once done bleed all four wheel. Begin the procedure at the furthest wheel from the master cylinder and work closer each time, bleeding each wheel until all signs of air have been expelled. Test the brake pedal for firmness and then fit back the wheel, lower the jack and complete the diagonal tightening procedure. Test the brakes by pressing the pedal. If the pedal sinks to low bleed again. In a safe place, test do a road test to make sure the brakes are correctly adjusted. When finished go inside, put your feet up and have a long cool drink, or a cup of coffee, tea or anything else as a reward for your labour. Best Regards John

Check the timing, if this is not the issue try changing you cricket under you destributure cap

Worn bearing caused by a defective oil pump or low pressure due to leakage around the worn bearings. Either way you need to overhaul the engine.

See if you can get a pick or a small screwdriver and pull or pry the broken piece out. take that end of the key to the dealer or locksmith to cut a new key. if your handy with tools its not that hard just try not to break anything else while your doing it.

you may have a bad ign module located under the distributor cap or a bad pick up coil mounted on the bottom side of the distributor assembly this requires careful replacement as it is easy to cause the vehicle to become out of time you have to mark the location inside the distributor as well as mark the spindle

I think there no issue with your A/c compressor. Please check your fan blades, there may be some thing blocking them.

No unless they are worn out, if they are you must do both sides.

These trucks use a small electric motor to control the blend doors. You may have a door that is sticking or a motor that is binding up. You'll need to remove the motor assembly and take a look.

Lean condition causes miss fire and pree ignition causes back fire.

Yoy have to check for anti theft codes if any are in the computer you will have this problem. clear the codes a code reader with OBD capabilities is required.

could be the fuel injector if it is stuck open or shorted to ground. check the compression first on that cylinder. if the compression is good check the fuel pressure bleed off time. if the pressure drops more than 20psi in 15 minutes it very well could be a faulty injector.

Tech, not teck. He faked his diploma or does not care that he screwed up your vehicle. Sounds like he disconnected something.

Try replacing the fuel filter and check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve. Low fuel pressure from a week fuel pump or dirty fuel filter will cause hard starts, a bad ground will also do the same thing so check the ground wire for the fuel pump which is separate from the main wire harness to the fuel pump sending unit.

Good luck and thank you for using FIxya.

sounds like the wiper switch is bad, the contacts on inside of switch are not making contact right. and it wont control the wiper motor. therefore, it stays on one speed. good-day !

There are 88 model Chevy Trucks that still had a mechanical fuel pump and a carburetor, as well as being fuel injected with a electric pump in the fuel tank.On a carbureted vehicle, that would indicate float adjustment problems in the carburetor - too little fuel, or, a plugged up filter attached to the pick-up tube in the fuel tank. There would be significant sediment in the pick-up area inside the tank based upon the age of your truck. On a fuel injected vehicle, I would suspect that either the pump is weak, limiting the amount of fuel available under a strain, or, that the strainer in the fuel tank is somewhat plugged and that there is sediment in the containing area where it sits that shifts as you go uphill. You wouldn't notice downhill as the fuel requirement is less.I would consider replacing the the entire fuel pump assy with a new pump filter included. Just replace the filter for the truck with a carburetor. In both, remove any sediment when you're inside the tank.This is based upon no other problems such as a vacuum hose leak, plug wires not secured shifting as you go uphill and grounding, etc.Good luck!

I need to know whare its leaking from what area main baering valve covers is there antifreeze in the oil pull out the dip stick dose if have a foemey white yellow on it

Tensioners should be replaced about every 80 thousand km when u let of the gas it relieves tension on belt tensioner if the spring inside is wearing out chances are there's ur squealing sound would sound like a belt squeal not a bearing

Have you checked the "Bump Switch" this is a small inertia switch which turns offf the fuel pump to prevent it running in the event of an accident. They are usually mounted in the boot(trunk/load area) . There should also be one mounted under the front of the vehicle to initiate the Airbags. They usually cut the earh return(at least it does on my Granada, XR3i and Sierra XR4x4) hope this helps.
