Changed out my wiper/washer assembly as I've go the windshield out to fix a small leak. Thought I put it all back like it was, just noticed that the link arm that attaches to the motor with the 13 mm nut looks like its 180 degrees off. Do I have to redo this or does it not matter, ie; does the...
Yes, when the intermittent function stops working the low,high speed and single wipe still work. The connection at the plug requires more than just moving it a little. I usually find out when its raining, so I get out with the wipers set on intermittent and try moving it slightly it in different...
I've done many fuel pump re & re's. A dab of regular multi-purpose grease on the end has never failed to retain the rod in position. You must be doing something wrong. First make sure it goes all the way up with your finger, as every one else has said. Put the grease on the end going in, I just...
Yes, it works with the original wiper motor/washer pump. Not sure about your resistance question or how many pins, since it was over 6 years ago when I installed it. Perhaps your intermittent control unit is faulty. One thing I can tell you is that occasionally my intermittent feature stops...
Your front axle u-joints need replacing, they produce the very symptoms you're describing. A good wheel alignment shop will tell you if your steering box needs replacing, ask them where to source a quality rebuild. Beware of just picking one up from your local parts store. I did that and the...
I also have a civy column that I swapped in. Yes, tilt is nice, but as I'm not overweight..I rarely use it. Now the intermittent wipers..this is a must have if you live anywhere where it rains often. Also the smaller diameter steering wheel has a better driving feel, and the thicker rim feels nicer.
I also had a lift pump leaking at the seam. If you have fuel at the front end, get underneath with a trouble light and trace it. The fuel usually drops onto the crossmember then drips onto the diff. From above you should be able to see if the crossmember corner underneath the lift pump is wet...
Search...I found some AC Delco bolts online for $1.60 ea. Bought 4, 2 for spares. In 2006 when I rebuilt my starter, I re-used the original bolts and hand tightened them. Didn't know they should not be re-used or the torque value, They held up, looked fine when I rebuilt starter again this year...
First starter rebuild on my 27MT DD was 2007, new bendix, brushes and bushings. Did it myself for about $40.00 in parts. Just rebuilt it again in 2013, it was starting to crank slower, brushes were good, bushings were worn, particularly the nose bushing was almost worn right through to the...
It seems that quite a few people here have broken the rod. I figure it must be that the rod had dropped down into the recess before they have installed and tightened the pump. Make sure the rod is fully recessed and pump lever contacts properly when installing,
If your push rod isn't seated in all the way, put a socket with extension bar on one of the crank pulley bolts and you can turn the motor over.
On the lift pump replacement ; Its easier to get the rear most bolt started first as it has the worst access. Its the harder one to get in so do it...
If its the fuel lift pump you're talking about and not the steel rod that drives it from the cam, make sure you buy an AC Delco pump. Do not buy a Carter, they are absolute garbage and fail prematurely.
Do let us know how that cable fits. My understanding was that the aftermarket cables didn't fit properly, that they were too short or something to that effect. Have searched for one to have as a spare to no avail. Last time mine broke I was lucky to pull one off another CUCV parts truck a guy I...
Could be the lift pump or the fuel lines, thats precisely where it leaks down to. Get underneath the front and do a visual inspection, it should be easy to pinpoint. I had a lift pump fail after 13 months, leaked where the two halves are crimped together. Do not buy a Carter!! Get an AC Delco pump.
