Herewego, I was reading a long Pirate4x4 thread about the TH400 sending unit, apparently that's a pressure test port. They think there's not normally fluid flowing past that spot in park, so I'd keep that in mind when reading your gauge. It seems there's a lot of debate on the optimal spot...
Herewego:
Just looked and saw it for myself now. That's awesome. Do you know what the threading was that your unit s then? I'm guessing it's an NPT. I bought another Autometer Autogage 2355 to use as a transmission temp indicator, it comes with 1/8 NPT, 3/8 NPT and 1/2 NPT, hoping one of...
I could use a pic of the transmission one. I bought the threaded water jacket cover for the passenger side for water temp myself, and used the oil tap next to the overflow tank on the drivers side for oil pressure, but I was going to tap a new deep pan for my transmission sender since I wasn't...
Just swapping the front tray for the civvy one if you have a standard size battery like that would clear the room for a civvy cold air intake wouldn't it?
Anyway, yeah you have to lock the front hubs for any sort of 4WD behavior. The visors should actually have the 4x4 info stickers on them if you're lucky and don't have your -10 manual handy. Driving in 4 with the hubs unlocked could be damaging to the drivetrain. 'Death wobble' is a commonly...
Do you have a Mity Vac? I think that would be more likely to work than a turkey baster :)
This is why my next mechanical upgrade will probably be an electric fuel pump.
Would a continuity test between the negative terminal and the alternator housing be sufficient for checking the rebuild before install? Would be a good tip to spread around if so.
You might try putting some cayenne pepper on the wiring. Maybe mix it with a raw egg and spread it on the wire? Messy I'm sure, but probably less harmful to teach the dog that way than waiting for him to chew through a welder's 220V plug or something.
My tailgate cables didn't come with the springs that make sure the cable stays tucked when you shut it, anyone know where to get new ones of that? One of mine is broke and the other is probably going to break soon. LMC wants $35 a pop...
If your resistor isn't bad, is there a good reason to change from what is working to something else? Just rhetorical really, but I personally wouldn't change my setup from stock unless I simply couldn't find a replacement for a bad part.
When I first got my CUCV, I thought there were no dash lights, and then a friend said, hey, try turning that headlight knob. Boy I felt like a horse's patoot.
And thanks richingalveston.
I had a windshield with the hidden antenna when I got my 09, might want to check to see if you have one before drilling holes in your truck. Then you just need to find the cable with the button end that attaches to the windshield, which I'm still trying to find myself. Not sure what it's...
Finally installed my winch. Got it from Walmart or Sams a couple years ago, a CPE (Champion Power Equipment) Power Sports 10k 12v electric model. Didn't even notice it came with a winch mounting channel already in the box until I started trying to figure out how to install it a couple weeks...
My camera's not the best but I will try to get some shots. It ended up involving a lot of, "why'd I do it like this, when this would be much easier" but I finally got it done.
