    Fuel Gauge Pegged Past Full - HELP!

    please explain in better detail which two you wires you are referring to, where they come from and where they go. What we are trying to do is ground out the pink wire that runs up to the gauge. this should take the guage all the way down to empty. If it doesn't there is an issue between that...

    1999 Suburban 10 bolt pinion bearings replace.

    We came across a 14 bolt SF six lug axle for $200 but I am not totally sure on the fitment. I read that it bolts in and all you need is a conversion U-joint to go to a 1350 on the 14. I also read there was a width difference. We looked at it last night but passed because I was not sure if the...

    What happens when you jump the pink wire to ground? Does the guage respond to that?

    1999 Suburban 10 bolt pinion bearings replace.

    I figure it really needs a full rebuild. I havent ever done it and really don't have time to putz with it right now. Thats why we were looking for a different rear for the truck.

    vacuum port question

    The brake booster line was connected to the back of the carb with a flared steel line. The adapter that threaded into the carb is 1/4" npt. The 3/8" ntp port on the manifold would have had a vacuum tree in it used for emission control stuff and the vacuum for the trans.

    Write up: Gas Tank Relocation

    If you get a blazer tank you will also want to grab the cross members that are in front and behind the tank and some straps. Its pretty much bolt in from there.

    Fuel Gauge Pegged Past Full - HELP!

    It would be the ground at the tank I mentioned before. If you find a good ground point on the frame and can measure the resistance between the signal wire and that ground this will tell us if the sender or ground is an open circuit. If your ground at the tank is good and you get an ohm reading...

    1999 Suburban 10 bolt pinion bearings replace.

    Hey guys, A buddy of mine has a 99 Burb with a 10 bolt that is making some pinion noise. We are assuming a bearing issue with the pinion. I haven't pulled the cover yet to see if its full of shavings or not. We have been searching for a different rear axle with little success so far because it...

    Fuel Gauge Pegged Past Full - HELP!

    Was the switch in the dash and the valve removed from under the truck? Have you verified the ground to the sending unit in the tank in in tact?

    I didn't think the cab mount looked correct and the fuel tank seems low to the body.

    Can I rebuild it?

    Besides, you can always pull and rebuild it later.

    Can I rebuild it?

    I know @Iowan is a young man just getting started in the world of trucks. I would like to provide a little lesson I learned when I was younger. When I was starting out I had all sorts of ideas that appealed to me. I wanted to put a V8 in place of the I6 in my Dart. With the help of some great...

    After a closer look that doesn't appear to be correct. I see there is a substantial body lift on it too. There may be 4"-5" of suspension lift.

    I imagine they used another 2wd frame section and stuck it under the existing frame creating the 10" of lift. Then installed a 4wd crossmember to accomodate the motor mounts. You know that idea came about over a couple beers while looking at some cut up truck frames...

    I agree, there are plenty of 4X4 trucks that look good but never hit the dirt and never need to be put into 4X4. When the question of lifting a two wheel truck comes around the answer is not easy. I would like to know more about how this was fabbed up.

    Long cranking time

    If your choke is set properly try starting it with this method.: Pump 3 times, crank to the count of three, pump three times crank to the count of three. Repeat as required to get it started. Mine was the same way. If I had ran it the day before one pump was all it took.

    Right? I guess some guys just like the look without the function. Gonna require a special buyer.

    Dome light.

    Once upon a time I had an issue where a poor trailer wiring ground caused a back feed through the dome lamp. I would have to look at a wiring diagram to find the path it took.

    Dome light.

    The white wire is the ground wire and the orange is constantly hot positive. Both the light switch and the door jamb contacts complete the ground side of the circuit to turn the dome lamp on or off. You may have a short or partial short to ground in the white wire.

    Glad to see it wrapping up. I was concerned the project stalled when you were gone for a bit. I love the look of it.
