Tie the replacement horn wire to the defective wire, at the bottom of the steering column and pull the new one through with the old. There should be a conical rubber plug at the bottom, where the wire exits. Make sure that plug is there to prevent chafing and a horn that goes off randomly. It...

Yes, you probably have a chafed wire that shorts to ground when it should not!

I did a little digging and note that the Chinese manufacturer is still offering these. They are made by Chinahanji and are a drop-in for our PSB6 AMBAC pumps. Old threads exist here; for a while these heads were on eBay. They have been looked over by people that know this stuff and found to be...

Glad to see you are back on the road. The ordeal is behind you.

Yes. "But....why?" is my question. Fuel economy? LOL. Not even going there. Hub and axle cost more than your fuel savings if you drive the truck as much as most people do. If it is your daily driver, well, different scenario. With the front rear axle locked out, the empty truck can get hung...

Just beware of "project creep"! Seeing you have the engine out already, you could..... see where this is going?

My job is insane. I simply need a series of projects lined up to stay sane. I also need to be able to pause projects...to stay sane. We live in strange, but interesting times.

I think the War Whistle refers to a smaller size turbo for the 6.2/6.5 GM. In any case, the "C" depicted here is an aftermarket/import product. I recall someone much more knowledgeable than me on this forum giving them a very close look and he determined that they are well made, good quality...

The turbo you have has the clamped-on exhaust section and the narrow scroll; that sure looks like a "C" turbo to me. I can't speak to the sound that one makes. If it helps, the original C-turbo is a Schwitzer 3LJ-319 . The stock truck has no real "exhaust"; it's a header with a stack and the...

Curious to see a pic of the turbo, especially the "scroll". The "C" turbo has a very characteristic scroll.

Yes, I need to lift the box up a bit, too. That is why I am not worried to accidentally drop it. Yes, Lola is singled in the rear with military surplus Goodyear G286. They are a road tread but ok off road as long as the ground is hard. On soft ground or mud....gone, baby, gone.... Glad you liked...

@Dipstick You got that right! Since the battery box with two batteries weighs a gazillion pounds, the risk of you "accidentally" sliding it out so far that it falls off the truck is nil (based on experience, sample of 1). I did not bother with the part. Mine does not have it installed (and I...

@SCSG-G4 Yup, I just splurged for a (new to me) 3/4 in drive MAC Tools torque wrench.... don't need that for the Subaru!

I have found C&C to be a helpful and honest company in my dealings. Why not start with them? I tried, but cannot make out enough details on your pictures (such as a type or part number) to be of any help.

The wheel bearings specific to the A3 are indeed different and super pricey compared to the A2. You can turn down/modify/replace the spindles and use A2 bearings if you do not keep the CTIS functionality. Threads: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/a3-to-a2-bearing-conversion.133550/...

Good progress! Was it hard to get the correct bearings?

O2 sensor socket has worked for some. You just need to do the torque math because of offset.

Taking the 14000 lbs convertible for a topless spin. Good times! All fun up to about 30 mph (50 km/h). Then it's goggles and a mask!! Driving longer distance with the windshield down is like riding a Harley, but not ina good way. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

@JSBIRD69 I looked at your picture. If your issue is that not all the dots on the front LED light fixture are lighting up, welcome to the club. THAT is a light fixture problem. I had one of these and it annoyed me, each and every time I looked at it. Then I found a spare on the shelf, swapped...
