    Sm465 knocking while in reverse

    The centers are seated. I made sure of that when I installed new springs. Would the tip of the drive shaft cause a knock like that you think?

    Gas gauge wiring question

    I was looking into it today, reading some schematics and reading some threads. There's two in the truck side of the plug I'll call it and three on the tank side. From what I can understand, black was ground, pink was gauge or fuel level, and the third was power to the pump. So I'm gunna try...

    Gas gauge wiring question

    I never mentioned, the truck I'm putting the saddle tanks on is an 87 with a TBI and has an in tank pump, the sending unit has 3 wires and plug on it. Ground, gauge and to power the pump I assume I have two new sending units with no pumps on them. That would be used with a mechanical pump and...

    Parking brake cables

    Trying to figure out or track down the lengths of the park cables I need for my truck. It's an 87, C30 C&C. It had the cables routed like the one in the picture but LMC doesn't say any lengths. Rock auto has a lot of different lengths, not sure what I need. Thanks
