Earl, First, thx for the red flag. Unfortunately, kcgonzo is operating on ebay and they generally don't do much about bad seller like this. A trip to his place might be in order, but perhaps just 'getting the word out' will be enough to put him out of business. Having said that, as WC FIELDS...

Earl, Check your email. I sent you a guy that sold me a set of mirrors. His name is Frank and he owns Franks Surplus. He is a new SS member and though computer challenged, I am trying to get him to start posting some of his stuff over here as well as on ebay. Thx for the heads up about...

I WANT PICTURES! We get snow every once and a while but have not seen much recently. You would think living in Mile High Denver we would see loads of snow. Unfortunately, for the past few years we have NOT seen a whole lot. So, I want pictures of two feet of snow. We could USE the...

m35a2cowner, THAT'S JUST SLICK. Those are spin on filters, right? That's a pretty good 'modification' if you ask me. Seems to solve ALL SORTS of problems. Especially all the opportunities for leaks that our setup seems to have. Plus no need for all the parts necessary to assemble our...

I'm NOT being critical of Sarafan. But from a business stand point, this sounds like a business on the 'edge' of failure. They are so tight on cash flow that they don't ship anything before they get the money. It sounds like they are 'penny wise and pound foolish'. Calling a customer before...

emmando22, This bolt is attached to the frame of the truck. If you pull your battery tray out and look at the negative cable and where it goes up under the cab, it goes from there to the frame (attached by this bolt) and then another cable goes up under the passenger seat to the Nato slave...

Gatnom, YOU are absolutely correct. It IS the pump AND motor as one assembly. They don't sell either individually. jim

m35a2cowner, Yes please. I would like to see pictures of your oil filter setup. If you have any problems posting pictures, pm me and I'll try and help. Don't forget to size them properly (480 - 640). thx. jim

One new bolt, washer, lock washer and nut later she fired right up. Purred like the kitten she is. I started today being scared silly by loads of sparks from an unknown problem. I finished today having my ego boosted by reconfirming that this is absolutely THE BEST VEHICLE I've ever owned. I...

ALL of you were dead bang on the money. The culprit was the bolt that attaches the negative cable to the frame. Boy did I fry that puppy!! I'll post the results after I replace it with a better one. thx to everyone. SCARED MYSELF SILLY! jim

OK, upon closer inspection, one of the neg connectors was loose just a little. I tightened that up and now have power back. BUT as soon as I touch the start button, MEGA SPARKS under the cab. What have I DONE?? thx in advance. jim

Bjorn, I thought of that and inspected the batteries. They LOOK ok, but I'm going to go out and check them with a voltmeter. Having said that, is there ANYTHING under the 'trans tunnel' that IS electrical?? thx. jim

The Olympic part number is 10946915. They don't sell it just as the motor. Dave Armond (ext 224) just called me back. He's from sales and marketing department. The price IS $225, BUT they ONLY sell the pump itself, NOT just the motor. I realize that a tad high, BUT if you've talked to...

Went out to start the deuce. Flipped the accessory switch and hit the start button. I saw sparks arcing underneath the space next to the drivers seat. Opened the panel up on the drivers side floor and hit the button again. HUGE sparks and then nothing. I crawled up under the truck but...

houdel, for everything you got, that's a SCREAMING deal! Way to go. Now it's time to start all the 'little' projects that will bring it up to where YOU want it to be. Keep an eye out, as I'll be posting pix of my truck with it's new Super Single tires here in few days or sometime next week...

Saturn has a pair of windshield wiper motors that are still air assist, but have a much larger drive motor. They sell for $160 for the pair. Consider the 'windshield wiper' conversion. You use a regular wiper arm AND wiper and they are much more efficient than the ones the military put on. I...

I think your statement of just replacing needed parts and systems is correct. I could be wrong. Having said that, it looks like my truck (Rebuilt by Tooele) got a new engine and AT LEAST a new drivers side front window, frame and all, as it looks new. I've not actually crawled up under the...

Ok, apparently I've NOT been real clear about this. I ASKED Mr. OShea if they would sell us JUST the motor as a part. NOT the whole in tank unit. He said he thought they would. That means if YOU don't have an 'in tank fuel pump' AT ALL, this won't work for you. IF you have a non functioning...

Chuck, SKIP Memphis. GO TO SATURN. THEY take that 'extra step' you are talking about. I've had NOTHING but a good experience with Saturn. Parts turn around was phenomenal. Talk to JAY on the parts counter. YOU won't regret it. I promise. jim NO, I don't work for them, but am just a VERY...

RDD, I STAND CORRECTED!! Sorry about that rdixiemiller. And MANY THANKS for the CD with ALL those manuals. They have already provided me with the info I needed for the oil filter change. I can't thank you enough. SORRY BOUT THAT RDD!! jest gettin old I guess! jim edit - I edited the...
