    Bell housing dowel needed

    If you can't find one and need it right away, maybe you could make one out of a cut down drill shank or grade 8 bolt that is the same diameter.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    If you could get the homeowner's permission that would be a great place to do some metal detecting. You might get lucky and find some historical items or maybe even an old farmers bank from years ago. ;Sweet

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I by passed the heater core this morning so my recently upgraded a/c system cools the truck cab a little faster now. It's 109* now at 5pm Phoenix time and the a/c vent temp is now getting down to 60* driving around town. I realize it's not super cold but it's better than last month driving...

    Spinning Hub Stud

    I think a angled nut splitter like this would solve your problem without damaging your rim or hub. The only other way I could think of would be to cut the stud flush with the top of the lug nut then center puch the stud and drill the stud out starting with 1/8th inch drill bit stepping up untill...

    Vacuum Pump

    O'Reilly's still sell Cardone vacuum pumps but they are under new part numbers according to my local store. I had to replace my vacuum pump last month and they had to order a new pump under a new part number because the part number for my old pump was discontinued. They were still able to find...

    Hydroboost Conversion

    I replaced my vacuum pump last month. Got it from O'reilly's auto parts, but had to order it because no auto parts stores near me had any instock. The manager reluctantly honored my limited lifetime warranty since the pump was 3 years old. He said the warranty was for manufacture defects, not...

    Hard brake pedal

    My old vacuum pump would have good vacuum when I first started the truck but would quit working after driving for a while. The vacuum pump I replaced that one with four years ago just got weaker and weaker on vacuum before being replaced. Apparantly they have more than one way to fail.

    Hard brake pedal

    I had to replace my vacuum pump a few days ago because my brakes would have power assist in the morning but after driving for a little while I would lose all power assist to the brakes. The brakes were doing this for a while so I first replace the vacuum booster because it was making noise when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make things work. I usually just use electrical tape over the open vacuum line with a wrap of tape around it to keep it from falling off untill I can do a correct fix.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I was up at 5 a.m. this morning installing a new vacuum brake booster on my truck. I wanted to get it done before the sun started shinning on the truck and making it to hot to work on. The high today is suppose to be 113*. It is already 97*. It sure is nice to have working brakes again.

    No start/crank

    It's might be the ignition switch has gone bad or the actuator rod for the ignition switch has broken, both are located on the steering column.

    80-91 tilt column rebuild

    A few years ago the crimps on my trucks ignition switch worked loose and the truck would sometimes start and sometimes not start so I replaced it. The new switch started doing the same thing just a few months later. I fixed it by drilling some holes through the crimp tabs and upper half of the...

    Starter solenoid(s)

    Are you sure you are getting power from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid? I had a similar problem with my truck and it turned out the upper half of the ignition switch that is mounted down on the steering column was starting to separate from the bottom half allowing the contacts...

    Why the adds now? New Comp. from Win 7 to Win 11

    Try switching to the Brave browser and set up ad block. If that doesn't work you could always load Linux Mint to get rid of all the Microsoft crap. Thats what I ended up doing because I got tired of all the crap on Windows 10. My desktop is so old I couldn't load Windows 11 even if I wanted too...

    Batteries 100% drained dead - new problem

    Another thing to look out for are relays that should be off when the key is off, but may be stuck in a on position drawing power directly from the batteries even when the key is off. I had the TECA relay on my truck stuck on like that and it took me months to figure it out. Good luck.

    The first time I filled up at a Sinclare gas station in South Dakota I grabbed the green pump handle and pumped 3 gallons of gas in my half full rear tank when I realized both handles on the pump were green. I fineshed filling up with diesel and other than a drop in miles per gallon the truck...
