Like Barrman said, make sure you trace that leak in case its not the throttle shaft seal. It could very well be the input line from the filter or one of the 8 injector lines. Dry everything off as best you can, you should be able to find precisely where the leak originates.
My fuel leak I had from the valley drain was coming from a deteriorated rubber fuel line near the CDR valve, it connects to the steel line from the lift pump on passenger side. Try putting a rag underneath the IP, you'll be able to see where its leaking from.

I've never taken the alt off. Its easier to get the rear most bolt started first as it has the worst access. Just thread it on a few turns..install fuel fitting and tighten, then install the forward bolt, lastly tighten the rear bolt. On rear bolt I use a 1/4" ratchet with combination of short...
The pic you posted shows a gear reduction starter. Does it look the same as the one you took out? Stock is a direct drive, it's thicker and heavier, which would explain why your support bracket doesn't line up, you'll need one for a GR starter..or make your own. Chances are your friends 95...
Don't forget to check your bushings while you're at it. They are a major wear item. The armature shaft can wear right through and start to dig into aluminum. You'll have slower cranking speed from the sagging armature rubbing against the case.
At least the tire shop I used knew to tighten the lug nuts to 100 ft/lbs. Years ago I had a mechanic whom I had known for many years previously replace my front axle u-joints. Imagine my surprise when just over a year later I went to service my hub bearings and found that one nut was definitely...
I dont plan on having any words with the young mechanic at all. Thats the owners job, to address this issue as he sees fit. This is a shop with some 10 mechanics. I've sent the owner an e-mail outlining the situation. I will speak to the senior mechanics I know there about the repair.

This shop does good work, I've had my transmission rebuilt there. Its a transmission and differential specialist, came highly recommended. I believe the person who did the majority of the work was not the same one who "buttoned it up." They have a junior newb that I suspect as the culprit. As...
Today I was under my M1009 lubing u-joints and steering components. Noticed the front 15/16 bolt that attaches the brace to the transfer case was protruding 1/4". Went and put a wrench on it..it came right out!. The shop that had taken apart and resealed my transfer case last fall obviously had...
I think that Wix number is 51061. Its sold also by Napa; Gold 1061. Apparently they also have a Two Quart Version -51794
Did some searching, appears the 51060 will fit the 6.2, but it is the lower quality filter, sold as Napa Silver line. Info from Wix web page ;
Filter 51060 Beta Ratio...
"started bucking and shuttering" sounds like fuel starvation, not just one cylinder firing improperly. When was the last time you changed the fuel filter?
I've read several threads here where people have broken the pushrod. It always baffled me how a piece of steel could break in two, what forced this to occur? Never was resolved by anyone as far as I know. Seemed to recall they just tried a new pushrod and another pump, perhaps the pump was...
The longer stud with the threaded extension for the mount bracket is part #1975326. They're available, its an easy job to replace, no need for a rebuilder. Let me know if you're interested, I can PM you the link.
