. You might even try swapping a bulb that is working into the socket that isn't working - just to see if the bulb is the problem. Yes sir. Testing to the pin in the bottom of the light socket is a good test. Testing for ground is pretty easy too - but it just seems weird the first time...

. I guess that could be possible - but that mode of creating the mark would suck in a big way. Would almost be like creating the timing mark on the harmonic balancer after it is on the truck.

. Sad but true. Standing behind the counter rather than walking out there with you and looking... Or maybe better yet, here is the belt number you asked for and the next 2 sizes larger and smaller. Don't Know and Don't Care. I can have all the patience with stupid or maybe even plain...

. I made a point of being SURE that there was no HOA when I bought my house. Not that I mind people wanting to band together - but I figure I bought it - and it is my patch of dirt. Me and the government... So long as I pay my taxes I get to continue living there. But a grumpy neighbor, heck...

. Socket looked good when you replaced the bulb? Do you see a ground wire? If not, maybe a short wire with alligator clips on both ends - so you can jump from the housing of a working dash light to the oil light that isn't working? Other than that, next point to look at is the sending unit...

. Sad part is that they are going to work at whatever speed. Not much you can do about it except be unhappy. On the bright side, if you can get your corrections done and into their pipeline - maybe you can beat the Christmas rush and vacations that happen at the end of the year.

. Yes sir, and I have figured out that a quick couple of steps toward the truck - so the momentum helps carry me - helps a lot too. Not so much on the back of the wrecker though. You can tell those steps out back were made for young men!

. It would be pretty amazing if that solves your problem! That is part of the wonder of working on your own vehicle. It is a 50/50 proposition. It will improve your situation or make it worse. Right?

. Engine compartment looks really good and REALLY GOOD when she fired off and took you around the yard! So cool...

. Sounds like the backlit version would be a nice way to go!

. A new harmonic balancer would be an incredibly good investment. Old rubber dampening material, riding in a hot engine compartment for 35 years is just asking for trouble. When it goes bad, it goes really bad suddenly too!

. Wow! I wish you were located a little further south... I have gone to several junkyards (I have been corrected too! They are called salvage yards!). Everything air ride that I have found is more in the $300 range - and that is a bouncy seat with a rag for a seat cover.

. chucky, It's either that - OR - maybe Third From Texas or I just drive so dang fast that we have to have a "turn over gauge" so we don't fall over in the middle of the road :cool: Believe me, I am too cheap to have spent $150 for the factory model. It came that-a-way in both of my toys.

. Sad but true wandering neurons You mentioned the magic word. Anything that is Airplane related = Big Bucks

. I thought something similar. I know limited quantities are how things get sold and what appears to be incredibly high prices - but this definitely seems unreasonable. The fancy version with 4 functions was $90 when I was looking at it...

. It is pretty amazing... One of the guys I used to work with at a big computer company was part of the NASA Apollo Computer group. There were three of those in the capsule for redundancy. I recollect him saying many times that we put man on the moon with a slide rule.

. Not sure what you might need to present to a proper locksmith to verify your credibility. With the lock number and knowledge that it is for a 1983 Chevy truck - the right guy should be able to cut a key.

. That surplus version is just absolutely RIDICULOUS. Post #836 is pretty impressive. And it is less money. A lot less with more features!

. Came on my M-1088a1 and on my M1089a0

. Me too! And it isn't even my truck... You have done incredible work Spot_ll !
