Truck got hit from behind and I'm replacing the bed with a flat bed. Have flat bed and have brushed, Ospho'd, primed and painted the underside.
Here's what I'm doing so far:
- Pressure wash everything, prime and paint.
- Clean out tanks, replace pickup tube strainers so I can get pas 1/4 tank.
- Replace rear leaf spring bushings. (Will be replacing front leaf springs too at some point -- they're shot)
- Add some Hellwig helper springs.
- Replace rear shock absorbers.
- Chase down a fuel line leak causing engine mounted mechanical lift pump to suck air.
Some things I'm considering:
- Maybe replace fuel level sending units. They work fine, but they are dang expensive: over $100 each -- almost twice as much as a new tank. Any strong opinions about replacing them? Any way I can clean them up or rejuvenate them? Sure is easier without bed on. But I don't want to spend the money if I don't have to.
- Maybe replace fuel tank selector valve. But it also works and none of the replacement units seem to have the same port configuration, which seem like it would make it a pain. Not really any easier with the bed on or off.
- Anything else I should be looking at?
Some questions:
- Those nylon fuel line connectors... Just looking at them, I'm not sure I trust them not to leak. Should they be replaced or are are they pretty reliable? And replaced with when, more of the same, or rubber hose and hose clamps?
- Any advice on chasing down fuel line leak letting in air?
Thanks!
