Finished installing my roof rack, aux. light, roof fans and my large pvc tube container. Paint didn't stick very well to the stainless steel covers on the roof fans. I will have to get them powder coated. Still need to wire up the aux. light. Now the box has both heating and some cooling.
Changed the oil and am now running my first tank of 75% desiel and 25% waste motor oil. Was waiting for warmer weather. Will let everyone know how it runs. Had to change my rear pinion seal last year because GL tweaked it when they made the drive shaft into a pretzel.:beer:
That is one of the vaccuum lines for the transmission. Good find and a cheap fix. Mine was the vaccuum lines and the pump. The pump had a dried up and cracked diaphragm.:beer:
Looking good. I didn't go with the lift on mine, just 255/85r16"s. Still fills the wheel well out better. First two pictures are before last one is after.
It is a vent cap. The other cap doesn't allow the engine to breath building up pressure. Civy engines at the time didn't allow this for emissions reasons. The Government can do what they want.
The Stant 10076 is the correct one. I am not sure bout the vacuum pump pressure but it sounds about right. Check on line here for the TM's, also since you are keeping this truck and want another you might want to buy a set. Good luck and green machines do self multiply.
Just a few things. First great truck. Second your filler cap is the wrong one, it will over pressure the oil system causing leaks or worse. The correct one is from a 1978 1500 Suburban with diesel 350 engine. It will allow the engine to breathe and it is only $9 at o'reilly's. Third the shifting...
Mine was to far gone. Took the socket into the local parts store and believe it or not they had both the side marker and front turn signal light sockets. A quick splice and some heat shrink and good to go.
Hello and welcome, Sorry about your loss. There is alot of local members who could give you a better estimate than I can. I will check around and see if I can put you in touch with someone who can help.
