    Why can’t everybody do videos like this? Show the process, (very well done) and save all the unnecessary narrative that so many people add. Good video. Thanks.

      Exactly, even though it’s sped up he gets the camera right up in there where you can see exactly what goes where.

    This here is a prime example of why if you don't 100% know what your doing you should prob not try this a home. I'll be bring mine to a professional like this guy thank you very much. Hats off to you Sir

    Awesome video!! pretty much the only one that truly shows how to disassemble. Most don't show the ignition rod coming through the cone housing the ignition and wiper switch👍🏼

    Earned my sub. Took my steering wheel apart last week. Other important things came up, and I forgot how to put it back together. Watched your video and just did the opposite. Thank you sir.

    This video was awesome really appreciate recording this entire process I need to do this to my Chevy 78 C10 pickup truck steering column. Wish I had you as a neighbor I would pay for you to do mines

    My former square body pickup was a 1981. Loved the dimmer switch on the floor. Old school. Now my 84's dimmer switch quit and after seeing how insane it is to change I'm going retro. Wire a switch on the floor.
    Hope this works well...

    Those wires are always a pain fishing back in the columns. Done that job more than once over the years. Great video. Sounds like it may need some high idle choke work before winter though.

    Thanks for the video. I am in the process of doing the exact same fix to my column. Never replaced one of these wiper switches before. Found your vid trying to figure it out. This helps a ton

    Your videos are always great!! Keep those square body’s coming.
    Any chance you know what the 2 wire harness plugs are fore that come off top of fuse box? There only 4” long..
    Learned a lot about harness but stumped on the last 2 wiring plugs

  • @cheozaid4218

    Thanks for the great video.. i got a problem on my steering column for your video i think i know what i did wrong..
    So this is my problem.. the shift changer doesnt go completely into park position.. so therefore i can’t take out the ignition key.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

  • @holinessorhell1964
    @holinessorhell1964 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad I found your channel. I subbed you, Do you have any videos on how to reconnect the high beam rod on a 1986 Chevy C10? I was installing the new ignition switch and the rod fell out that holds tension on the turn signal high beam switch. Thanks for any help

  • @peterhamouroudis7467
    @peterhamouroudis7467 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’m missing a piece that holds the wiper switch assembly in place. Does that install thru the bottom of the pivot? Does it look like a pin with a flat piece on the end?

    Thabk you, my high beam actuator rod appears to be broken. Mine won't touch the dimmer switch and is off centered towards the passenger switch. Do I need a new rod? How easy is it to replace?

  • @martinolivas319
    @martinolivas319 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you wired a remote start on a square body. I ordered the compustar 4900 and hope to install it on my 76 Silverado with a 6.0 ls swap soon

  • @mblake0420
    @mblake0420 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why would my steering column be protruding out of the dash slightly towards the door? And not centered in the hole?

  • @zmurray9499
    @zmurray9499 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That is a ridiculous situation, did you take the column out for demonstration purposes or necessity. Luckily I unplugged and plugged back in the wiper switch plug and they started working again. Just a matter of time before I have to take the column apart.😕

    • @milkcrate82

      More for demonstration but I have a real hatred for laying on my back and working under dashboards.

  • @holleywoosleyvennes998

    Can you put it back together without the specific tool to compress the spring? If so how?

  • @normankaster917
    @normankaster917 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Got one for ya, what's the deal with my wipers coming on when I turn the ignition key to start my 86 K10. They come on for a few cycles and then stop, I already have replaced my steering column due to the bearing in the tilt mechanism falling apart and I figured my problem was in the column but after changing the whole column out it's still a problem. If you got an idea that'd be great if not no big deal I'll figure it out.

    • @oldbiker9739
      @oldbiker9739 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      sounds like your circuit board in your wiper motor needs soldering .

  • @lwjw3184
    @lwjw3184 ปีที่แล้ว

    Small price of advice, tidy up all of your under dash wiring while you have that bad boy out. It will make the reinstall way easier.

    What’s the name of the switch at the bottom of the column?

  • @ruwithlee1970

  • @shawnmcclure7282
    @shawnmcclure7282 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey milkcrate did your column have the plastic pocket on the side? If so does it hold the ignition rod or the wires for blinker switch?

    I have an 89 i partially took down to change the lower ignitioni. When i went to put it back together the rod was /is turned the wrong way so it wont go into the lower switch. As im watching this, it appears that it cant happen. Am I mIssing something? I Guess i need to tear it down further but though i would ask just in case im missing something. Thanks any comment appreciated

    Should i bend my rod or replace a certain spring if my key rotates to 'off' while driving. I replaced the ignition switch but that wasnt faulty, its mechanical not electrical issue
