Default all questions in one....

ok guys and any gals who might be here too, here is a list of questions, anyone who can please feel free to answer any or all...and if they have been covered else where please point me to the thread... this is on 2 different trucks as well so here goes.

buddys truck, 90 ext cab, auto, 350.

90 q1:the ac blows cold, and sounds like its blowing its butt off, but the vent air flow is more like a mouse fart. also his truck has no max ac button or recirc, and sometimes going down the road, its like the fan kicks into o/d and blows even harder, but still very little vent flow.

90 q2: how many bulbs are in the guage cluster (the old dial looking set) ive redone many guages on the imports, just hope someone has an idea so i can order before puilling it all out.

my truck, 96 silverado ext cab 350.

96 q1: the tailgate latch is fubar, like my old silverado only one side will release, i looked it over today, one side wont pull in far enough to release, same side sticks out further then other side as well.

Ok , I will try to help with this one.

Have you checked the cabin air filter?

You may be right, there may not be one. Maybe the AC coil is clogged.

Definitely no cabin filter. Pull the blower motor out and look for leaves and what not. Are all the vents open?

yea all vents are open, it blows a little, about like most systems do on low. i think he is planning to open it up tomorrow to check the coils etc so if its blocked im sure he will find it.
