Where is the radiator cap on a 2004 Chevy truck?

It may sound stupid, but how do you drain the water from a 2004 chevy truck and where is the radiator cap?

If there isn't a petcock (small drain valve) on the back edge of the radiator (normally they turn to the left to open which is opposite a normal valve), then you may have to remove the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator and block.

My 2000 1500 chevy truck will only start if i press on the gas pedal while i start the truck.?

You have to stomp on the gas pedal to get the truck to start. And when it starts the truck runs a little rough.

I sounds like the Fuel pressure regulator is bad. Pull the cover off and on the drivers side of the engine the regulator is on the fuel rail. Pull the vacuum line off and see if any fuel comes out of the hose or if it seems like fuel. I have changed many of these for this problem.

where can I find a free Brake diagram for a chevy truck.?

A die hard BMW enthusiast I am looking for a site like www.realoem.com but for chevy trucks.

I just picked up a 1996 chevy silverado with a 305. extended cab and a 10' bed. brakes are sticking and cracking upon departure after parked on driver side, Tomorrow I am going to tear it down, and probably rebuild the caliper. First truck i have worked on so any tips will be greatly appreciated. I will let everyone know how it went!

Hmm, a 10 ft bed on a pick up . That`s a new one, most extended cabs came with a 6 or 8 ft bed. Don`t wast time trying to rebuild the calipers, they are cheap enough to just buy rebuilt calipers. Not hard to change, remove wheels , undo 2 bolts 3/8 hex socket , remove flex line , replace pads and reverse to install, bleed brakes. Autozone gives a fairly good breakdown on how to do it.

1986 Chevy truck With 48" Chambered exhaust Turbo tubes

http://www.myspace.com/mrtsautomotive
This is it! I am done changing the exhaust! I have gone from small pipe to large and 18" short mufflers to 48" long mufflers and I like these 48" (Same as a Corvette sidepipe)mufflers they are deep and more mellow than the shorter 18" long mufflers. I keep with the 2 1/2" pipe and left the iron manifolds. It's just a work/trash truck not a hotrod or show truck so I don't need it to be to loud! I am going to take out the Th350 and rebuild a 700R4 for better fuel economy other than that I'll leave it alone and drive it when I need it. Now it's time to start my Camaro Project!!!!!! I'll need a roll cage!!!

Setting ignition timing on chevy truck?

How is the ignition timing set on a 92 chevy truck with a 350 engine. Motor was changed and the timing was not set.

There is a bypass connector either under the hood or below the heater box on the passenger side of the interior. The lable under the hood will indicate where it is located. (tan/black wire.) With the engine at operating temp. disconnect this connector. With a timing light set the timing to 0 deg.

A Good Chronic Constipation Treatment

Treating chronic constipation is complicated by the fact that it can be caused by a variety of factors. The presence of severe or acute abdominal pains along with constipation may be an indication of a blockage in your digestive tract. Unless this blockage is removed, waste will continue to back up and bacteria will rage throughout your entire system. In such cases, constipation treatment will probably include a colon cleansing to remove the blockage and get the system flowing smoothly again. Colon cleansers made from all-natural products are recommended over those made with harsh chemicals which may kill good bacteria living within the digestive tract. More often than not, however, chronic constipation is the result of a chronically poor diet, lack of exercise, and inadequate water intake. Bottom line: long-term constipation treatment almost always includes adding fiber to your diet, increasing water intake, and reducing intake of foods that are known to cause constipation.

Help The Baby Sleep And Get Healthy Rest With Natural Sleep Aids

There are times when it isn't you that needs a sleep aid, it is someone else. Anyone who has ever had a young baby in the house is well aware of the misery that follows a sleepless night. Not only is the little child uncomfortable, but so are you. In this particular case,the chances are very good that you do not need a sleep aid,it is the young one that does. Of course you do not want to give harsh chemicals to a baby simply to encourage sleep. However looking to a natural sleep aids and some well time schedules may help both get the rest you need. Establishing predictable bedtime routines is one of the best ways to make sure that everyone in the house will get a good night's rest. Of course with very young infants this method will take time and they still need middle of the night feedings. You can even help young infants establish a feeding schedule in the night. Once the nighttime feedings are a thing of the past, a great baby sleep aid for insomnia is to warm a bottle or breastfeed right before you lay the baby down. Being feed and the comfort of being close to you will help them settle in for the rest of the night. For a child sleep aids should be natural and easy on their growing systems. SleepSoGood is an excellent example of this type of sleeping aids.

Herbal Therapy A Menopause Symptom Relief

Many women throughout civilization have treated the unpleasant symptoms of menopause using herbs and plant extracts to ease hot flashes, vaginal dryness and the changes in libido.

Many plants make phytoestrogens, which act as estrogen that is produced by mammals. This is a natural method to restoring the levels of both estrogen and progesterone. This method, however, does carry its own side effects. Some herbs can increase blood pressure or lower iron levels in the blood. It is important to speak to your doctor before treating yourself with herbal menopause remedies.

How To Protect Your Chevy Truck Seats

One of the great on-the-road ironies is that while you are sitting comfortably in your seat driving along, the seat itself is going through a huge amount of abuse. From dirty clothes to wet swimsuits, anti aging skin care liquid spill-out, slobbering pets, kids eating in the backseat and the harsh sunlight shining in, there are a lot of potential options out there to ruin or wear out your great looking seats. And if something horrible has happened to your interior you could be looking at a very expensive re-upholstery. One proactive solution to all of these problems is to find yourself some good custom seat covers for your Chevy truck. Protecting your seats with a snug fitting seat cover will take away the worry of staining your car seats or being embarrassed by ripped, tattered and unkempt upholstery. Not only will you be taking care of your seats now, but they will look great too! There are a couple things that you want to know before you start shopping your Chevy Truck seat covers. The first thing to figure out is the type of seat that you have in your vehicle. For Chevy trucks there are only a couple of options. The front seat application usually fits into one of these descriptions: Low Back Buckets w/ Adjustable Headrests, Low Back Buckets w/ Seatbelt Through Seat, High Back Buckets, 40/20/40 Split Bench, or 60/40 Split Bench. For any type of bucket seat, make sure you know if you have adjustable/removable headrests. Also, note the number of armrests on each seat if there are any and if the armrests are attached to the seat on the outside, or inset to fold up into the seat. The 40/20/40 and 60/40 benches can also come with Pull Out Arm/Consoles. Make sure that you note this when ordering to be sure that you receive the correct custom pattern to fit your seat. The rear seat applications are generally going to be one of 3 types: 60/40 Split Benches, 50/50 Split Benches, or a Solid Bench. Once you have all of this information, you are ready to move on to the next decision which is "What type of covers do I need?". Now you need to decide what it is that is your main concern when protecting your Chevy truck seat covers. Are you using your Chevy truck for industry work and moving a lot of tools and guys in muddy work boots around? If that is the case look OEM or Vinyl seat covers. These are the most popular type of covers for industry vehicles, with many fleet and maintenance managers buying custom fit OEM or Vinyl seat covers to help maintain the vehicle's resale value. Or, are you more worried about the wet kids jumping in after a swim or spilling drinks on the drive? In this case, you might be more interested in a waterproof Neoprene seat cover. Or maybe for a bit more fun look into Hawaiian seat covers.
