don’t get in a hurry to buy inferior knock off parts…especially on these aftermarket kits.
I Suggest going on the FB forums where many folks I know sell OEM soft top kits.
The black post is a structural support and the green cover is a not only a cover but connects the lower B-pillar support to the roof B-pillar.
I guess you can do anything you feel is justified.
many of these trucks have collapsed catalytic converters due to long idle times and JP fuel usage, drop the turbo down pipe and drive it…if not change your Turbo charger isn't working….
As you can see, look how thin the tube is as it is flattened out so it doesn’t hit the flex plate…literally a small amount of sand or debris clogs the tube, it’s actually impossible to keep it clear under normal operating conditions.
The problem with following the TM is, is that a lot procedures are old and outdated.
using the term “glow plug controller“ for example on late model trucks, because it changed to a Temp sending unit and the term ”GPC”
is no longer valid, same as when they refer to PCB “Protective control box”...
Unplugging the the hole is a bad idea if the tube is removed, as it is on the melton rebuilds, all that water will end up on the rear main seal…even with the drain working, you will have water in the valley, the water exits the front the motor at the low spot around the timing cover.

I’ve never replaced a 200amp due to failure, the regulators fail, but I’ve never had to replace the core.
400amp? I’ve had stacks of failed generators cores along with regulators…add to that the...
if the TM has a torque spec, why not torque to spec? I’ve replaced more OP than I want to admit…ive Never used a torque wrench, I use a 1/4 socket and one hand…it’s metal to metal, so once the bolt stops, you are lucky to get a 1/4 Turn on the bolt.
As the TM states, apply liberal amounts of RTV...
I know of no rebuild kit for this pump, the pump is reffered to as the “whiny” pump, for 2 reasons, one because it’s English and the other because it’s noisy. I’ve opened these pumps up, they are like nothing you have ever seen, frankly a marvel of engineering, noise comes from air, if you have...
