Got "new" (junk yard) needles for my gauge cluster, arm rest as mine was broken and spongy, and several wedge twist lock bases so I can get leds in my dash. I'm going with green throughout the interior.
Which brings me to my next point. Anyone know what these bulb #s are?


They are the ones that light up the hvac controls.

T5 or #74.

I recommend these:

2x T5 74 3-SMD SMT LED Green car bulb | eBay

Those bulbs will pull right out and these will slide right in. Cheers.

Or if you're looking somewhere besides ebay, this site is always reputable.

But usually you can't beat the deals on ebay like ranger posted.

The pump is still pulling a good amount of moisture out of the system as evidenced by the foggy mist coming out of the pump outlet. Gonna let it sit on there all night to get it good and dried out.
Checked the air outlet temperatures last night and they were down at a chilly 51F with an outside temperature of 82F without the system in recirc mode! The $16 line fix with RedEpoXy is holding just fine!

well yesterday i put the new diff cover on the k5. nice and shiny. only problem is i tried using the bolts it came with and i guess they are too long. cause i snapped one off... oh well. so i just used the old bolts. they looks just fine anyways. and i dont really care if one is snapped off. this truck is just my beater. filled it with a little less than two quarts of 75w90 gear oil and also bought the haynes service manual. now i know what i am actually doing!!!!

Well, I drove the blaze to autozone and it still is acting funny. Got an EGR gasket and once it cools down, I'll start trying to repair the blaze. I'm going to clean out the EGR valve and replace the gasket on it then clean out the IAC Valve and hopefully that'll get rid of my high rev problem. Yay! Lets hope!
