Do you have any updates? Has the vehicle been released to you? If not what is holding it up from being released? I hope you have it or at least have a time line that you will have it. This transaction started back in June/July. Keep me posted.
That right rear 1/4 panel damage will buff right out if you hit it with the right compound. Really it looks like a decent rig. Needs a lot of TLC but it can be brought around in due time.
The Goodyear Duratrak is the best tire for the M series pick up and cab chassis combination. over the years as the Goodyear Work Horse evolved into the Duratrak I have bought and worn out many sets. on the M1009 IMHO the Goodyear MTR Kevlar makes the look and performs flawlessly on and off road...
It can also be leaking higher up in the engine. The valley under the intake has a hole in the rear and that is directed into the bellhousing rear of engine and that hole is where you will see a leak. The oil leak coming from higher up can be a vacuum pump seal or the vacuum pump itself leaking...
That was painted on the frame by the contractor that supplied the frames to GM assembly in Flint. I toured the Flint plant back in the early 80's. Huge facility at that time. But now the Fort Wayne truck plant makes that old plant look like a stone age assembly plant. But that was on most of the...
I am not sure if we discussed this but make sure the fuel pump is the correct one. In this case if the shoe fits wear it does not apply. I seen this issue end up as a wrong fuel pump a few times. Lets look at that pump. I personally would like to see the lever that is activating the fuel pump. A...
The wires you have there are the fusible links on the alternators. Replace them with new fusible links. That taped one has to go. That is looking for trouble. You can buy fusible link wire at an auto parts store. The black rounds are just fancy butt connections.
Yes I had 4 brand new injection pumps. I used one and it lasted less than 6 months. I used the others as cores and gave a few to friends that wanted a spare core. I don't trust old injection pumps. If in doubt replace the injection pump.
I am not sure where you are on this project. But if you vacuum tested the feed and return lines and they held vacuum I think the lift pump and hose needs to be looked at. I just completed a no start project that lead me down a rabbit hole that found multiple fuel related issues. Even when I...
After 2 hours of tedious light hammering I was able to remove the locking hub assembly from the right side axle. I will be able to reuse the hub assembly after some cleaning a bit of filing on the housing. I clamped a vise grips on the housing and tapped it back and forth to no avail. The axle...
Disconnect the fuse box at the bulkhead connection and look into cutting and replacing the burnt circuits with in line fuses. It works and beats the pants off of changing an entire wiring harness. The 30 amp light circuit/fuse can be replaced with a circuit breaker. No vehicle should blow the...
After the second incorrect fuel pump from Parts geek they opted to not ask for it back. they issued a credit and told my Wife to keep it or discard it. I guess I could make it work if I were to weld a piece on the lever that would take the free play out of it. But I am not going to risk that. I...
