Many times fuel gauge reading incorrectly but the sender ohms out okay can be traced to bad/missing/dirty grounds. Because fuel gauge relies on the resistance, if you have a bad/dirty ground, it will cause more resistance and hence read incorrectly. You should be able to verify the gauge is...

I believe what you are looking for is something like this. https://www.performanceonline.com/Shock-Absorber-Stud-Mount/?keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAiA98TxBRBtEiwAVRLqu4ekDnud2sdMtZ9bQnQq4rb81emw67xxTAiG4ZoIYHF0Zm1AqaPQiBoCwFQQAvD_BwE Not sure if this is the right size for the CUCV/K30 trucks but...

Yeah, agree. Most cars/trucks that have a combo running light and turn/brake light use dual element bulbs. One element is a lower wattage (for the running lights) and the higher wattage one for the turn and/or brake light. What could be happening is because the LED doesn't have enough...

It is possible.

Damn! I have never wanted an engine more then I would love to have that one. One sexy beast! Too bad they did such a limited run of these and priced them accordingly....

Make sure you replaced the right flasher. I think there are two, one for the hazard lights and one for the turn signals. See if your hazard lights flash.

I replied to your PM. Thanks!!!!

Hi all, I am working on my custom gauge panel and it would be really helpful if I can get the following piece from someone who has a damaged/cracked bezel. The M1010 I have has an extra hole for the rear door light so I need one from an M1008 or M1009 or model that just has the single gauge in...

If you remove the balancer, replace the seal. That is the timing cover/balancer seal and that can be swapped without removing the cover. Use a seal puller to remove and I used my balancer installer to install, using a piece of plastic tubing and metal plate with a hole drilled in it. Oh, FYI...

I would HIGHLY recommend replacing your balancer, since these fail not just from miles but due to age. Many times you cannot see an issue until you have it off. Here was mine, that I just replaced, that had less than 15,000 miles but is the original '84 unit. See the area in the blue circle...

Spent time yesterday modifying the alternator adjusting bracket, since the "Plan B" alts are shaped a little different than factory. You could not rotate them all the way inwards, which made trying to get a belt that was short enough to not max out the adjustment but still be able to go over...

When I had the new wheels installed I took a cleaning die with me and a cordless impact/socket. After they got all of the original, crappy lug nuts off, I ran my cleaning die (which does not remove metal, only cleans the threads) on every stud. It made it easy to install all the new lug nut...

No, lug nuts don't self tighten. My guess is the shop used an impact and just hammered them tight. Either lazy or didn't have a correct torque wrench. Overnighting can stretch the threads or fatigue the studs. I ended up replacing all of the lug nuts because a number of them felt tight. New...

I would have to agree, 2 12v chargers. As mentioned, a 24v charger hooked to 2 12v batteries (versus a native 24v battery) will not properly charge both batteries. Chargers are looking at voltage to determine how to charge or stop charging. You could have one battery at 11 volts and one at 13...

More work yesterday. My balancer installer came in. I actually used to install the new front seal. Got the balancer installed but still need to torque it. Got the re-cored radiator back and it's nice. Got it installed and then new hoses. I had picked up a NOS lower M1010 specific hose. It...

I doubt it. All gauges I have ever worked with always had a ground connector as many times they are mounted in something non conductive (i.e. the dash cluster). I know on my last M1010 when I converted it all to 12v, I took the original gauge out, cut the two connectors off the old gauge...

Perfect, This is exactly the info I was looking for!!!! Will hit up NAPA. Thanks so much!

Not yet but very soon. I finally got to redoing the cooling system so I have gotten the new oil and water senders installed. Once I finish up getting the radiator back in and new hoses installed, my focus will be on getting the gauge panel installed. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. :)

No I mean the FelPro part number. I don't need GM ones, I only used that part number as a reference since it is in the TM. I just need new O-rings and don't care who makes them. I want to get this radiator in this weekend so I need to get something from the parts store.
