I use seatbelts. They are everywhere and last longer than any other material I ever used. Seatbelts are good for many things besides holding your arse in the seat. I have some I have hooks sewn into and have used to pull engines on smaller vehicles.
I don't think it needs re-cored. I think it needs repaired but if a good repair shop was to remove the tanks and clean the core, they would be able to repair that radiator. Good Luck. I bought that at Auto Zone. It was a lifetime warranted radiator.
Go to the hardware store and get a brass fitting that that sensor fits into. I had to adapt that coolant sensor on a few radiators already. But like I said. It never ends. Stay Cool.
Out for more Fun in the Sun. I have big plans today. Hopefully they come together. Take Care and stay hydrated. I hope to have progress to report. I mean I could be hand sanding a lot of small parts. Could be. More later.
Never done it. Glad I never did. May I recommend if this is happening you have other issues. Hard starting vehicle and low amperage batteries. That is the only time it ever happened to any CUCV I know. And I have seen Fords and other vehicles with a HD solenoid relay do the same thing. Ever see...
It just never ends. I am thinking about how you will mount that threaded low coolant sensor into a barbed pipe nipple. I suggest you cut the threaded pipe connection and place it in a 5/8" hose just long enough to connect the hose to the barbed connection and the treaded connection together. You...
I might know a guy that has a few of these. Try Hillbilly Wizard and then I can look. I know I have them. I am slow and unresponsive at times, but eventually I get it done. Have a Great Weekend.
Surplus 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe K1500 4x4 SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7161409)
I am guessing this will sell for less than the M1009. If it does it is the better buy. It runs and drives. That is always a +. Let's watch see if it brings $2500. It would look good...
This is vehicle related and involves my job. At work someone entered the property overnight and removed exhaust components with a Sawzall. These were geniuses. They had access to over 500 gasoline truck chassis and made way with the first 18 trucks closest to the rear railroad gate. I went to...
Surplus 1986 Chevrolet D10 Blazer SUV in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7111454)
I am beyond words. WOW. I have scrapped a fortune 20 years ago.
Another potential transmission leak on the stock CUCV. The kick down switch. It is sealed with an O ring. 3 prongs hold it in the case. The transmission pan must be off to gain access. O ring And just a parting shot of the transfer case output shaft with the splined rubber that I think is a...
As you have already discovered it has a nylon bushing that presses an O ring into the sector rod hole. Very easy to get out with the selector rod removed. Not so easy with it still in place. I can't imagine trying it with the transfer case in the truck. Remove it save the violence and cursing...
This is the magnet that was in the transfer case. And by the way, this episode on ! 81 was back in the late 1990's and 3 AM. I wanted to show you also that if you are changing O rings you may as well change the front out put flange seal. This transfer case is still full of lots of great parts...
OK I am back from the operating room. I have lots of valuable information about seals and failures of the TH400 and NP208. The transmission and transfer case I dissected was destroyed during a front drive shaft CV joint lockup at highway speed. The driveshaft locked up because I just bought the...
Keep in mind a new seal is not a guarantee of no leak. The shaft could be grooved from sand and dirt cutting into it. I would suggest that you get a visual on the seal you have and remove it and seat the new seal a bit deeper or shallower. Clean the area thoroughly before and after removal. Good...
