    Bent fuel pump rod

    New pump in and new rod as well. Started right up and runs way smoother than it did before. First time out of the garage in 7 months. Thank you everyone for the input!

    Fuel pump

    I ask only because that’s the exact thing mine started to do at that speed. Ran rough as well. Fuel pump died while sitting in the garage. So we have the same issue with fuel delivery. I read that was a sign of them starting to fail. Thank you for the reply and makes my guess at the issue a good...

    I get the long short bolt exchange, I just was attempting to say I had not gotten that far to use that trick so no long bolt was ever used, by me. I the past from old owners no idea.

    Bent fuel pump rod

    Well the truck is an old farm truck and say go 20+ years in a barn in Georgia. Front of the engine has old oil and dirt all over it. Took the mounting plate off to get to the rod, no gasket. So that answers where the oil had come from. Enough years of oil and dirt roads stopped the leak. So if...

    Bent fuel pump rod

    I think someone was in there at some point. The plate had no gasket behind it. At least found the oil leak issue! Thanks for the responses! The bolt that “holds it in place to change it” was the short one so that was not the issue. Been searching on the internet and I have touched nothing prior...

    Bent fuel pump rod

    Has anyone experienced a bent fuel pump rod? Truck has been parked and apart for months. Always started prior, ran rough the last few months and the new fuel filter never completely filled with fuel as did the old. Went and purchased a new pump and while installing it I could not push the rod...

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    Amazon has many options. I did my 84 and they work great for the headlights. The dash is simple, they plug right in, spade bulbs, again Amazon. Side markers I choose black out led lights. Chrome came off in the sun in less then a year. So I will strip them and paint them black, the trim that is...

    Wanting an Upgrade

    I would also go with LMC. I had to replace a few of my interior parts that were broken. Fit was good and not too expensive. They are easy to work with as a company.

    Oil pressure gauge problem

    Mine did that exact same thing. I ended up running a new wire and soldered it on the top right prong where the pressure gauge hooks into the dashboard. My brown wire was gone so had no choice. 1984 GMC off the oil pressure sending unit behind the carb.

    Repopped Fender Badges-where to buy quality badges?

    I have looked all over and no one makes them. Only people that find them pay big money. I have a 84 C15 and went with a billet grill. Will attempt to find an emblem that will work.

    Oil pressure sending unit on manifold 305

    My sensor by the oil filter has 3 wires. The rest are the unplugged wires from whatever was cut out. Is it possible they put in the wrong sensor by the filter and it’s a 3 wire and I have to change that and take one of those wires and attach to the awning unit on the manifold? I know a brown...
