That is a pricey sensor.

Yea I know. I get sidetracked a lot I plan on getting some progress this week. Getting the seams sealed and interior door and fender panels primed and painted. There are just not enough hours in the day. I am doing well. Work is crazy and I am only 1 person. Not like it was when I was 30-40...

Good Luck. I am going to be talking with the local GM dealer and see if he can get me an origial Delphi pump. You have a relic from the past with that original AC fuel pump. I am still weary of that left pump doing the job you intend it to do. I have been down this road several times and have 2...

Hey and the next time that happens where the arm rest screws are rusty and you can't drill them out. Gently pry out on the door panel and get a ratcheting wrench up under there and remove the 2 1/4" bolts that hold the metal arm rest bracket in place. It is that easy. Then you use a vise grips...

I know a guy in Pennsylvania that has a few OEM used CUCV door panels. A few. Are you interested? Let me know. I even have Blue ones that are stock blue thru and thru.

CODE RED: That does NOT look like the correct pump. Just saying. It has that slight bend curve in the end of the arm. That style has free play in the stroke. The box had the straight lever. I am just pointing it out from far away. Some looks odd here. Place it in the palm of your hand and...

Easy way to test is if the resistance pumping action begins immediately upon depression of the lever. No free play (zero) It will have immediate resistance and the pumping begins. Make sure to change the push rod cover plate gasket at the same time. Grease the push rod and shove it. Assemble all...

This is a good picture of my Grand Son. My helper. I prepped a bunch of parts and hung them up outside. I primed and painted them and told him NOT to touch the things. An hour or so went by and I wondered why he wasn't coming in the garage and was sitting on his bike for a long time. I called...

I opted to bend my own on one truck and the other I had hydraulic hose made up and ran them tight up against the floor and secured them in place. 2-3 years on a snow plow truck and they are still perfect. I liked the rubber hydraulic hose but will say it was pricey. But when they are not leaking...

I agree but a fuse is POP and it's gone the connection is broken. The fusible link can take a bit more punishment. It can get weak but still hold till it is burnt completely thru. I have replaced a fusible link with a maxi fuse just on my own stuff. But fusible link wire is inexpensive and...

Most times I just jump the front battery on a CUCV with a standard 12 volt vehicle. Think about it. If you leave the headlamps on 12 volt, 99.9% of the vehicle runs off the front battery during normal operations. That one starts most vehicle with a jumper cable to 12 volts. Unless you have a...

Next question will be "What are Fusible Links" They are easily replaced and not as easy to find and diagnose. I use a test light to check them. They can melt out in the center and still appear good. I hope that helps. My diagnosis from a far is difficult and wiring issues are my weakest link. It...

The gear shift indicator just clips on the plastic collar of the steering column shift housing. That easy. Remove the instrument cluster only if you must. It is going to be fragile. Be Careful. Make sure you disconnect the speedometer cable and get everything unplugged. Carefully. No force. It...

That part is NOT needed. I would eliminate it. It must have been for radio equipment. Good Luck.

NO. You will need to drop the transmission. Just be sure that is where it is leaking. This only happened one time to me but I had a vacuum pump sucking transmission fluid and leaking down the back of the bell housing. Just check all the options. Other transmission leaks can occur up top are the...

Clean up your socket metal contacts with a wire brush or a pencil eraser. Bent the ears of the socket out a bit and make sure the contacts are going on top of the printed circuit board so they are in direct contact. Sometimes they will go under the printed circuit board and just make contact...

Check your 4WD light socket connection and then crawl under the truck and look at the right side of the upper transfer case. There is a 2 prong plug and switch. Unplug that and cross the 2 prongs of the wire connection. Does the light work? If it does the transfer case switch is bad. But if the...

Im sure you know this, but just in case you dont. When you add fluid start up the truck and move through the gears but dont drive around. I move through each for 3 seconds then back through each to park for 3 seconds before double checking fluid level. You can leave the engine running when you...

Internal seals and valves are worn. I had this happen several times with the TH400 in CUCV's. On this note I want to share a bit of sad news. The friend that rebuilt my transmissions the past 25 years has passed away yesterday from the virus. He was in good health, non-smoker, never sickly. I...
