Thanks for confirming that OEM are the same part # for both sides [thumbzup] I thought this was the case, but wanted to confirm before I ordered anything. The one's it has currently are just some cheap auto parts store replacements. Which is why I'm wanting to get the Wilson Delco Remans. If...

Hey All! 👋 I didn't want to make a new thread about this as we spoke some about it in this thread. I hadn't drove my truck in about a month, have had my Dad in and out of the hospital a lot lately. But I went to drive to town the other day and not only has the squealing come back, its back with...

just came across this thread while looking for some info about alternators. Its been a year since my last update to this. I figured out I had a leak from trans pan. I had just replaced the filter and gasket with AC Delco. But for some reason the gasket leaked, and I had properly torqued the pan...

here's my entry too :beer: I need a new set of batteries for my truck, current one's are getting weak and this cold winter weather isn't going to help.

I know I replaced that hose when I installed the Stanadyne rebuilt pump a couple years ago. But changing it to Viton may be a good idea.

well, thats true. about how many feet does it take for all of it? I know the one line going from the front injector to the hardline is longer. I was going to order 10ft just to have extra, but I think about 6 or 7ft would probably be enough.

I'm going to order some Viton tubing soon, had some other 1/8" fuel hose to use temporarily on the line that was leaking. McMaster is $6.60 ft + $10 shipping now. Duda Diesel has it for $3.58 ft but shipping is $18.... :roll: Good idea on making the plugs, don't know why I couldn't think of...

Hey all, just thought I would post a "final" update about the alternator bracket. Had a bunch of other work I ended up getting into, but I finally got around to getting the passenger side stock alternator upper bracket I got from Hillbilly Wizard changed out, with the hacked one that was on the...

Well, I'm glad you brought this up about the return lines. Instead of a coolant leak, I found I had diesel fuel leak. It was the main return line connected to the hardline on the passengers side. I had bought some UV dye and put it in the coolant system, a couple days later I drove to town and...

Good question. Where I park I always have to back out before I can put it into drive. Next time I'll park the other way around and see if it does the same thing in drive. Either way, I thought it could be torque converter leaking down. I did have the cooler lines off about.... 2 years ago...

Well the original one's were cracked and splitting at the connection points where the clamps were. The first "new" one's I put on were the actual OEM kit. I don't know if they were NOS or what, but they didn't last. I did not know that silicone rubber was permeable. Thanks for the info...

Just an update. I removed the locking hub guts again, removed outer axle nut and lock washer. Loosened inner axle nut all the way. Retorqued to 50lbs while turning wheel. Loosened and torqued to 50lbs again as per TM. Then loosened inner axle nut half a turn. reinstalled lock washer and...

wow... forgot this thread... five years ago... I need to read through it just to see what I have done to the truck before, as I have forgotten a lot of it now. just so I don't continue to leave this thread hanging... I did end up replacing the heads with reman 6.5 heads, can't remember now how...

I have used that in most electrical connections. Can't remember if I put any in these new bulb sockets though. But I switched those two bulbs w/sockets with two other sockets/bulbs in other spots on the cluster (i think seatbelt and.... forgot the other). The place I put the original two, they...

yep, done that too. even changed the bulb sockets, changed back from the LED bulbs to the standard 194s, no change.

I just replaced the "flexible" circuit board on the back of the cluster a month or so ago with a brand new one. Cleaned the main plug and everything, and it was working fine at that time. And this time I plugged and unplugged it several times, making sure it was fully seated. I don't know...

well my temp light nor my low coolant light come one when I turn the key to the "on" position, nor after I start the truck. They worked perfectly after I replaced the sensors a couple months ago. Have no idea what happened. All I did was pull the cluster out to push the speedometer cable fully...

temp light doesn't come on whether it is grounded or not. so I don't know if it's working either. thing is I just replaced both of these sensors a couple months ago and they were working fine

well at least my temp light might work. low coolant isn't though, even if I unplug from sensor which would leave an open circuit it should turn on light. but nothing. oh well

screw it, I'm putting it back together, i have too much other work to keep fooling with this. need truck tomorrow. I always keep check on fluids anyway, have a small antifreeze leak that i cant locate thus far. going to try some uv dye and see.. have no way to know if temp light works, if she...
