I had the same symptoms. It was a heater core.

Thanks Junk. I will look at the adjustment for the hood latch.

Thanks. I was moving in the dirrection of Magna Flow.

Junk: I have adjusted the rubber stops on the back of the hood (windshield side) and have also noted another rubber stop adjustment on the frame area towards the front. I am getting fogging on the windshield when it rains, and assume that the hood needs to adjusted down by screwing in the back...

After my initial posting, I had a Magno Flow X pipe installed in place of my Borla resonator, which had been damaged from dragging on traffic hump. Shop had little problem installing the "universal" x pipe. Much louder sound coming from rear of car (previously with Borla there was resonance...

I want to replace my Borla resonater with an X pipe. Anyone done this before. Will the universal from Magno Flow work? Have not found one yet that was specifically for LT1.

RV Guy: I would still focus on tire balance. I had to take my vette to Discount 4 times before they were able to successfully balance the new Goodyears I purchased from them. Turned out the balancer had more than one program, and the program for "alloys" turned out to eradict the vibration...

Does anyone have any info. regarding adjusting a 1992 hood. I bought some new front tires that were not balanced correctly, which really made the hood shake and rattle. Prior to this I had very little rattle or noise from it. The shop "tightened" the hood, apparently by screwing the rubber...

Zaino. They have made it much easier to maintain with a clear coats spray for maintance. People that look at my ride think I have had it repainted. Just used Zaino and maintained with their products. However if you have scratches, note that you will need a scratch remover, as the regular...

Also look at flushing the radiator and a lower thermostat. I live in Houston, where is gets very hot with a lot of traffic. I run a 160 but probably not suited to cooler climates. Also, I use 65/35 water over anti-freeze. Anti freeze does not cool as well as water. Finally, if this does not...

Thanks gmjunkie. Tire balancing, for the 4th time, took care of it, as least for now. Learned there are at least 3 programs for balance, and the "alloy" wheels was the one that worked. Now, does anyone know how to tighten up the hood to keep it from squeaking caused by the out of balance...

I am having a problem with vibrations (which is shaking the hood excessively) starting at 65mph. I have had the front end checked and the mechanic says everything is in spec and aligned. Went to Discount, and they replaced free of charge the 315's I had on the back to go back to stock 275s...

Does anyone know where I can find an EGR for a 1990? Shop states it has been looking for days without success.

Looks like it is that time. Anyone used the plastic graphite replacements or greaseable replacements? I understand the the earlier versions squeaked, something I would like to avoid. Suggestions on overall front end replacement parts appreciated.

I have had my truck painted twice by Maaco. It lasted about 3 years, and then had to be repainted on my dime. It did not include a separate clear coat (they say it is mixed into a single base). Each time it looked good for 2 years and then went down hill fast after that. Perhaps a separate...
