92 Sierra..... cashed out clunker.

That's a perfect PoS 'ya got there! I love it (minus the automatic), the body looks SOLID and the rest looks like someone tried to love on it. Can't beat the price, I probably would have gambled on it if I was in the market.

NICE find, I’d say she’s ready for paint !!

Thanks fellas.
I definitely agree, it's about as delicious as a POS can get.
Not quite there on paint, eye spy alof of flaking/cracking/missing body filler, trying to source a junk parts truck(s) for body panels.... and hopefully some interior panels that match.... any one of the colors. We have red Grey and I think painted.... not including the door panels and anything that isn't original to the year.
Names... I usually have to drive them a while to see what their personality's are.

In the mean time,
It has a horribly draggy starter, and many gauges don't work, also the plug receptical for the ecm coolant temp was.... well missing ... among other things.
So, starting the slow process of cleaning up wiring, connectors and vacuum/vent lines.

So far, just some slightly better terminals and cables made/cleaned up.
Replaced the red ground cable with a black one.
Ecm temp sender and connector replaced
And one Rocker Cover breather and hose fixed.... old one was loose n floppy, had legitimately 4 pieces of different hose cobbled together just beautiful.
Starter operates very well now
Check engine light off, would stay running with tps plugged in now.
Ran out of time after checking those functions.
It would have spouts of dumping too much gas before hand so hopefully that clears up now.... to be determined....and mo to come.

Oh, I forgot to mention it has 96+ doors, probably seen in pics, no interior door handles sadly

I didn't think you could put newer door panels in the 88-94 because they'd hit the dash? Or is it the other way around?

Coolant temp sensor in dr. Cylinder head. The wire with the female spade was inside the plastic wire loom going to the temp sender.
Temp sender is the single prong that takes the plug style.
Coolant temp gauge doesn't work being why I came across it.
Anyone know what it needs to do?

I may be wrong, but that might be a Ford style battery in your truck. I know the GM side terminal batteries have the positive cable on the engine side, and the negative cable is closer to the fender. Ford batteries have the positive cable on the fender side, so it's closer to the starter solenoid on the fender. Older Fords were easy to steal because if you could get the hood open, and use a metal tool (screwdriver, pair of pliers, pocket knife, etc.) to jump across the two smaller terminals, you could start the car or truck (not actually done it but know many who have, and told me the process).
