I should add that when we put everything back together from the pump repair everything was dry. Had also replaced the fuse prior to the pump repair and it was dry then also. This occurred after drving it for a bit after the pump repair. Was gonna replace the 2 amp fuse with a 3 amp and when I...
I pulled the in tank fuel pump because it was running but not pumping. The bottom had fallen off. Repaired the bottom, pumps fine now. New problem arose. I took off the cover to the in-tank fuse to check it and found diesel fuel inside the cover. Why would diesel fuel be inside the cover...
I just want to say thanks to FMJ and Boat Carpenter for the pics posted on this problem and all of the others who commented on a fix. My in tank pump was running but not pumping fuel and after researching this site and reading this I pulled my in tank pump and also found the bottom had fallen...
Eureka! pulled horn button assembly off steering wheel yesterday and the wire inside was badly frayed and grounding out. Replaced wire, added new connectors with heat shrink crimp casings, reconnected ends and voilla, horn works great now! Had some 90w gear oil leak out of the bottom hole where...
I use a 2 quart plastic cranberry juice jug, cut about 1/3 of the top off with an exacto knife. It fits snug on the stack pipe and wind won't blow it off.:wink:
Mine started blowing coolant out of the radiator cap. When I checked the overflow tube it had been intentionally plugged shut with body putty. When I cleaned this out I found out why. The overflow tube had completely rusted through at the bottom at the fill neck where they connect. I've...
Let us know how this replacement cap works out. I have similar issue with coolant blowing out of the cap, wondering if your replacement solves that problem. Thanks for the info.[thumbzup]
I may have an answer but not sure, someone suggested that when filling the steering gear box with 90W gear oil, some overflowed/spilled down into this channel and was trapped there by the rubber plug that holds the wire snug. There is a square pipe fitting fill plug on top of the gear box where...
The hole through the steering column and out the bottom of the box seems to be a simple open at both ends channel pass through. There is the rubber boot that connects the wires together and then behind that was a rubber fitting that just wrapped around the wire and held the wire firmly in the...
Tracked the problem with my horn not shutting off to the wire shorting out inside the steering column. Pulled the assembly out of the top of the stearing wheel and the wire was terribly frayed down inside the column. When removing the wire accroding to TM, I pulled the wire and rubber plug...
To continue with the Gremlin theme, before winter storage I drained the radiator and flushed the system. When I filled everything back up I filled it pretty close to the neck (I know, too full). While driving when it got up to about 190-200 degrees I saw water/antifreeze shooting out the left...
My truck has Gremilins or something. Today I went and jacked up the driver side tire. It did not let loose or spin or anything when it cleared the ground and there were no noises. I was able to freely spin it. Then went through the sprag adjustment procedure with tm in hand, first in reverse...
No road defects, smooth asphalt pavement. I thought ok, maybe a tie rod came off or something but everything is tight. Then I though maybe a wheel bearing gave out, but that looks ok too. I am lost and it is intermittent.
The strangest thing happened while driving today. I was out and about, no issues. Had backed into several driveways to park visiting various places and to turn around. When leaving to park for the day I was driving down the street at low speed and the front end started pulling, first to the...
Thanks for all of the replies and identifying this for me. I sure hope I don't find anymore surprises like that. My next project is to change the oil and filters. Who knows what may come out of that. Then after that I'm going to look into why I can hear my in tank pump running but nothing is...
It's 3/16 of an inch in diameter and it appears to be some sort of compression fitting. It is not a solid ring and will expand/contract if you push on it where the v shaped ends join.
When changing out the secondary fuel filters and cleaning the canisters, the following came out of the drain cock at the bottom of one of them. It is a tiny/small steel collar ring of some sort. Anyone recognize what this is? I'm not sure if it lined the drain hole or not. When I replaced...
Yes, tried it in low and high range. Doesn't work either way. Had buddy watching from outside. Truck hopped a couple of times like it was trying to engage but nothing, almost like it was an adjuetment and wasn't quite catching.
Thanks for the response. I definitely have a sprag system. Have checked a number of threads which had TM listed and potential adjustments that can be made. I'm thinking mine is shot because I don't have front wheel drive in forward or reverse. Will try checking the suggested adjustments...
