I’ve been looking for alcohol for 3 months. My wife uses it to get stains out and clean stuff around the house. Blows my mind that 1. people bought every bottle known to man and 2. We can ramp up production of toilet paper to meet demand but not rubbing alcohol. Very aggravating.

What's the best way to clean that black goo out? When I was in cleaning mode, I took apart the main wiring harness from the fuse panel and noticed that black grease. I sprayed it with some electrical connection aerosol cleaner. I don't think it did much good but I didn't really have a good...

Goodness. Sounds like a lot of work. Both doors need adjusting as well. They both hit the front fenders when the doors are opened and make a loud popping sound. They sit flush at the top but both sit low and the bottoms stick out.

Do you know how to adjust them? I’ve been searching the interwebs and the TMs but haven’t been able to find the correct procedure. When I got my truck, the hood latch was missing but the hook that is spring loaded was there. So the hood would stay closed, just not latch down tight. I found...

Yeah I guess the mileage really is irrelevant in my case. It shows 23,8xx. Given the dents, dings, and a few rust spots underneath...it’s probably at least 123k. The interior is missing lots of trim and the windows that open/close all need new rubber. The engine runs pretty good but there’s...

When you replaced the head, did you have to reset the mileage to reflect what was on it or did you just start at zero?

Yes it's an M1009. Are you referring to the little gear box that the speedo cable plugs into? I took that apart and cleaned it up. There was some grease left in the housing that was clean so I used it to lube the little gears. It goes speedo cable, little gear box, then it screws into a...

The speedo lube came in and it was basically a graphite oil. I lubed up the cable really well and it slide back into the housing no problems. However, my speedo is way off and it's bouncing. It says I'm doing about 65 when going 40. I opened her up on the highway, not sure how fast I was...

I have one of those on my truck. I was planning on taking it off. I'm not planning on keeping this truck original. I'm open to trades or would be willing to sell it to you. PM if you are interested.

Speaking of the trailer plug, I’m planning on installing a receiver hitch and am going to have to figure out what to do about wiring. Is the stock trailer plug usable?

Not sure about the slow signals. Maybe a flasher going bad?

I literally just asked about this last week. It serves as the main ground for the wiring harness inside the cab and is a source for grounding accessories. In stock form, nothing else was hooked up to it.

Welcome!

I don't believe so. I was replying to the original poster. I believe the orange wire going to the brake light switch comes directly from the fuse panel. Check that 10amp brake light fuse right above the 30amp light fuse. I believe it's number 6. If you don't have power there, check the...

Could be an issue with your turn signal Switch or dimmer high/low beam switch.

I was really dreading having to take that all back apart. The cluster was really a pain to get out.

I couldn’t get the right signal to work and took apart the steering wheel to diagnose. The switch was all gummed you with old fried grease and broken in one spot. I was able to force it to the right and the right turn signals worked. The light in the dash also worked. So I replaced the turn...

Update: I got the instrument cluster cleaned and all put back together. Also bought a new instrument/dash cover from eBay for $55 including shipping. Pretty good deal IMO. So far, the right turn signal light isn’t working in the dash but is operating outside the truck. Might be a bad bulb or...

That link worked no problem. Since your post was underlined, I thought it was a link. It was white, not orange so I thought it was a dead link. My apologies. Thanks for all your help.

Link to the thread doesn’t work. I ordered some speedo lube from Dorman on Amazon. I have regular red grease for bearings but I figured that was too thick.
