    Quadrajet rebuild problems

    That does help, thank you. I'll verify timing and adjust screws tomorrow, and report back. Wish I had an insulated garage

    Quadrajet rebuild problems

    Rebuilt the carb on the truck after fighting various idle troubles, and pulled intake a distributor to reseal front and rear China walls. Put it all back together, and it won't start. Tries and almost catches, but doesn't start. I'm pretty sure I did the rebuild right, doing small engine stuff...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fresh shocks all around, and a carb rebuild with well plug seal. My how nice it is to have time off to work on things.

    Th400 Torque Converter Shaft Seal

    Read up on the bushing and figuring I'll replace it as long as the trans is out, because it seems to be a common source of leaks on higher mileage transmissions like mine. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

    Th400 Torque Converter Shaft Seal

    Thank you for the response. Totally right, I might be losing my mind lol. Rockauto had pump seal and torque converter seal separate so I assumed different things.

    Th400 Torque Converter Shaft Seal

    Going through the truck fixing up leaks and such, and figured I would replace the torque converter shaft seal while the transmission will be dropped for front pump seal replacement, just to be safe while it's out. Was looking around, and didn't find much on it, so figure I'd ask where it's...

    Turn signal troubles

    Thanks for the diagram. Much appreciated. Fresh bulb, and brake is also out unfortunately, so most probably a ground issue. I'll check andreport back

    Turn signal troubles

    Rear harness under bumper has been the source of past problems, hence the trailer harness delete. I'd think grounds would be the source of trouble here, I'll look into some diagrams.

    Turn signal troubles

    All I did was tap into the brown for liscense plate lights, brown being running lights and side markers. Those still work. Trailer wiring has been spliced off for months, no problem. I took the liscense plate lights back off, and no change. I assume I bumped something, so I was looking for help...

    Turn signal troubles

    Got a new bumper, disconnected all wiring, splicing off trailer wiring, adding new liscense plate lights to constant brown. All was well, then no right rear turn signal.All bulbs are good, running lights work there, but no flashers or turn signal on that side. Dark green feeding in from rear...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Shockingly he did, but it was absolutely a paid restoration. Talked about how only people with money or who inherited can own good classics... lol

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mr. Paid restoration had a very perfect bland truck, which he quickly directed my attention to post disapproving look at my rig. For some reason I gravitate towards the cars that can be driven as intended without worry, so tough cars appeal to me.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Totally didn't get it, but these are the gated community paid restoration guys, sooooo... Personally I'd welcome a new guy if I saw him, not slide less-than-subtle digs in.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Oh I absolutely agree. This thing is still a utility rig just as much as it was 20 years ago. Short beds are laughable in my eyes, I've got a truck to use for truck things.

    Exactly. That thing has probably taken out more deer than that dude has hunted in his whole life.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Showed up to the weekly cars and coffee today for the first time in this old work truck's career for no particular reason. All sorts of nice cars down the line. Guy with the blue square was super nice and had a cool rig to boot. Some dude with a 37' chevy made fun of the brush guard and long...

    Show your daily driver

    I think this is going to be my daily for the next decade or so, unless there are other circumstances. It's a pleasure to drive, quiet, good sound system, comfy seats, and has no real issues mechanically. Great to not have a money pit alongside the square, so theoretically I'll have more money...

    Man good for him. I've been looking for a good reliable daily driver, and I regularly see these on marketplace with 250k plus miles, so I snapped this up less than an hour after it came up for sale.

    Show your daily driver

    Snapped up a single owner awd highlander that has just over 100k on it. Absolutely immaculate inside, and it has a tape deck! Should be great for winter and more fuel conservative ventures. Comfortable, spacious, and doesn't look like too bad, unlike almost everything 2010+ Seems to be a perfect...

    Thanks, I'll have a more thorough look at it after lunch. I hate dealing with electrical stuff.

    Never mind, lost both fuses again. No good. Let me know if you have ideas.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fresh flasher relay, and boom, return of the turn signals. It's nice to not have to take 5 million plastic covers off to access everything, just to find your problem.

    78 Turn Signal Help

    Was out for a morning run, came back to the truck, started out, and signaled left, nothing. No hazards, right, or left signal. Got home and swapped fuse. Good momentarily, pulled into garage and then my mind got the better of means I had to retest. Lethargic clicking on one side, fast like a...
