SOURCE: 2005 GMC Sierra Overheating

If your sure there is no trapped air in system after refill and air bleed off, is fan clutch pulling good air thru radiator? Even if it is, the heater should have coolant as hot as what temp gage is showing! Try backwards flushing heater core (dex cool is notorious for plugging these up). There is a TSB for cracked cylinder heads from GM for unexplained coolant loss.Remove drivers side valve cover, and look at center three head bolts for coolant around them, if coolant has been getting in thru this suspect area, there will be a milky/pudding like goo under valve cover and on head. GM had a company called Castec cast these and the areas near the head bolts were found to be too porous (NO recall YET!) Ya, you guessed it, replace heads! Unfortunately, if its gotten hot to many times, it has probably hurt the heads/gaskets. Hope this helps. PS: The castec logo is under the rearmost pair of rocker arms,may have to remove them to see.

I suggest that you visit the autozone.com website and register the vehicle. It doesn't cost anything and will give you access to an online repair manual. The steps for replacing the water pump should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

SOURCE: 1990 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. Windshield wipers, Cruise Control

May want to look at replacing the wiper circuit board.It is located on the firewall adjacent to the wiper motor and has a some what square black cover with 3 torx screws and wireing harness pluged into the side.We had a truck that every time you washed it the wipers would stay on until it dryed out.You can try removing it and spaying it down with contact cleaner just watch the brease on the two contact tips.Well hope this helps.

Truck has no electrical current (power) throughout truck. Has not run in several months. Battery still good. Alternator and ignition switch replaced.

Sounds like its not grounded properly. Make sure your battery is grounded to the frame and the engine block. This way the assorted accessories and whatnot, that has (Pos.) power via wire connection, that is mounted to the frame or block, will successfully complete the circuit.

How do you install an alternator 95 gmc sierra 1500

1] disconnect the positive battery cable. 2] remove the serpentine belt.  you need a socket wrench to remove the tension from the idler arm pulley. 3]disconnect the battery wire from the alternator, and unclip the other smaller wire from the other side of the alternator. 4] remove the bolts that hold the alternator to the engine. 5]install the new one in the reverse order hope this helps

Alternator overcharging

ok, there is an earth wire between the engine and the body (usually bolted to the exhaust manifold), you need to undo it from the body, and with a piece of sandpaper or a file, you need to clear away the paint from under where the wire connects to the body, (might be a bad earth giving a faulty sensor reading, because on the production line the body is painted before anything else is fitted), clean the end of the earth wire contact and re-connect.

if you still have the same problem, you need to see an auto electrician or your nearest dealer.
