You are correct! There are two vents on the side towards the top that leak when the tank is filled up and it looks like there is also some activity at the top panel too. I removed the tunnel evaporator not knowing how small the top access cover was, thought I could get replace the leaking...

LOL, I like your low stress comment...that's one of the reasons why I like working on the truck...it takes some stress away :)

meant to type a reply

Maybe I am overcomplicating things in my mind thinking if there could be any alignment issues after removing and reinstalling the DS,? Usually the less parts are being removed, there are less potential issues to have, but it doesn't sound like removing the DS is a big deal. Thanks!

I finally got around to remove the tunnel evaporator and found the small access panel under it…and another bucket of sand, which I vacuumed :) There is not a lot of room to work on the top of the fuel tank through that small opening: Could the fuel tank be dropped without removing the rear...

It's not so much about affording it, but more about getting to know and understand the truck. Part of getting this truck or other MV, is learning as much as you can about it and do as much as you can yourself. For me, working on the truck and driving it, it's an escape :)

Do the house first. I don't think there are many banks/ CUs that would do a loan on it with a good rate, however if you do the house first, then you can get a HELOC (some run 2.9%) and use that if you are low on liquidity, plus getting the house it's the right thing to do in this increasing...

You are absolutely right to be paranoid about the Chinese infiltrating the supply chains worldwide with fake stuff. Here is a Chinese factory that sells ECV metallic brakes as OEM for...$5-$15!!! The real dangerous part is that these are huge operations owned by Communists in China, nothing...

MacMotors has a great deal on shipping, medium box FedEx two days for about $15 whatever could fit insisde, and the WF CDR valve does, I did get one too. Check with Craig if you need to talk with someone, he's great!

Yes, some pipe sounds like the way to go, thanks!

It sounds like excellent advice…yoke contraction vs sleeve dilation…thank you! EDIT: I saw there is a differential seal tool, but it’s made out of plastic and it breaks easily? Is there something specific you used to install the seal?

Excellent, that gives me some very good direction, thank you!

Mine also had tons of sand and even after several washes, including high pressure, there is still a lot of sand left. I used Crystal Simple Green foam, it has the least chemicals that would attack rubber, plastics, etc, yet in foam mode, it stays longer on a surface to get in and loosen the...

Oh yes, I do have an impact wrench (got a lot of tools to work on the truck, I even have a mill to machine parts if needed, even as I am an electrical engineer, not mechanical), I built the 4 wheels with new tires myself and it would have taken forever to do each wheel 24 bolts twice, like the...

Congratulations!!! I remember the feeling when I finally got mine…awesome day :) I have a whole thread with some of the things I ran thru and like many said the fuel lines are perhaps one of the best return on your efforts to replace. The original fuel hose is GoodYear rated 30R7 (or at least...

But there is more, always something to do on these trucks like many others have said…boom…here comes the front differential…I have been noticing very small splashes of oil around the front wheels and in front of the engine under the truck, and finally found the source…the front differential is...

Thank you very much!

Here is how it looks installed, on mine it wasn’t removed, it does look like an antenna cable pass-thru, too small of an opening for anything that would deliver higher current, it looks like it would support about 2x 14AWG:

Could someone please take a clear picture straight on (as perpendicular as possible) of the turn signal label and post it please? Mine is missing and was thinking to print a new one on mylar or something similar, but don’t have a good picture of it: Thank you very much!
