    Hydroboost Repair-Leak Fluid Drivers Side Floor

    Between the plate and the firewall. I was concerned that that is where it is leaking. Do you reuse the old one? I am worried that I am going to get into this and not be able to get that funny nut off to switch the plate.

    Hydroboost Repair-Leak Fluid Drivers Side Floor

    Thanks. Should I replace the master cylinder too ? There is a rubber seal, gasket 14004810. Does that come with the new hydraboost? I suspect that is where it is leaking. It isnt leaking into the cab.

    Hydroboost Repair-Leak Fluid Drivers Side Floor

    new puddle I found a new puddle next to the driver side tire. Under the hood the wiring harness that passes by the steering column has a greasy substance on it, and the area has a lot of dirt stuck to it. I am guessing the leak has something to do with my brakes. 1) how are the brakes...

    If you need advice when you start your ham radio project, start a thread on that here, if you want to. There are several of us that can advise you on that kind of work. Yep. Those things are notorious for flaking out and causing problems. If you want a good one, try the marine supply...

    FOUND THE SHORT. *&@#%!^&**CHEAP CRAP CIGARETTE LIGHTER*&^*%$#@@ My M1008 has a cheap cigarette lighter that somebody plumbed in using the 12 v wires from the courtesy lamp under the middle of the dash. I was using this to charge my cell phone since I bought the vehicle (2.5 years). These...

    M1008 tail lights short

    Thanks. I ordered the short finder, and I am going to work on the front harness. I was thinking that the front harness was on a different circuit, but I see now that they both come in to the same circuit.

    I used to live in southwest PA. Wouldnt mind going back. Is the plug to disconnect the dash panel hanging down by the steering column under the dash? It has a clasp on each end which I popped off, but still cant get the 2 pieces of the plug apart. I found this plug hanging down from the...

    M1008 tail lights short

    Thanks. I will get the short finder. I was going to go into the dash panel and look at the connection and wiring of the bubs, since a couple dash lights are in the same circuit.

    M1008 tail lights short

    I disconnected the harness at both ends, check for short to ground-nothing. left harness unplugged and put the fusebox back together- it is still blowing fuses. So the short has nothing to do with the rear tailights or wiring harness. Any insight on the second best place to check?

    dash lights not working

    I need electrical help. On my M1008, all of the panel lights are out, and the 12 v from the fuse box that is switchable using the blackout toggle no longer has any voltage readings using a voltmeter. Still have the 28v reading, and the non-switchable 12v. I had a tach powered from the...

    Coolant acidity

    As a chemist, I cant pass this up, even though it is a few years old.. In aqueous solution, which radiator fluid is, pH 7 is neutral. There is no "change" in going from living organism to radiator fluid. After all, the aqueous solution isnt alive. The preferred pH of living organisms is 7.4...
