Maybe you bumped the vacuum line going to the trans...there's a valve at the the throttle cable that feeds off the vacuum pump back where a distributor would be in a gas engine...shouldn't be that tough to find.

So all this crazy warm weather has really got me goin on these projects on the trucks...I got new straps for the tank and used a 26 inch bike tube to insulate the tank from the mount and straps...worked great...I found some allen head stainless bolts to hold the straps back on which worked as...

You'll need a volt meter and see if your getting the 25 up volts while running...if you had the plug that you cleaned not plugged into the alternator when it sparked the regulator should be ok...that plug goes into the regulator.

That spring shouldn't be that tough to get...probably have one in a hardware kit. Looks like tomorrow will be warm as well...plan on getting more done while it is warm out!

So as usual just replacing the fuel tank that should take about a half hour is now going to drag into tomorrow...I broke one of the hanger brackets so that was another trip to the parts store plus looking for something to bolt the straps on with...found some flat head stainless bolts that will...

If I remember right yes on the number...if you look at your last pic you can see the yellow 20 gauge wire with fusible link written on it...the pull method works but just to be sure you need to check for volts with a test light or meter...the pull method is great for quick checks or roadside...

yup those little buggers are meant to let the smoke out but look fine...sometimes if they burn good you can just pull on them and they come apart...another good thing about pulling on them is you may find one that isn't burned all the way that isn't related to what you have going on but needs...

So I finally got around to draining the fuel out of the tank in the 1028 and it really stinks of old turpy fuel...only got a few gallons out! I removed the filler hose and found nothing but rust and gunk as far as I could stick my fingers in there so I'm going to get a new tank and sender for...

Dang....ok yeah that won't work then.

I watched a video on youtube not long ago about what wire did what but can't find it!! Anyhow,,,pop a test light on the wires coming out of the card and turn on the ig switch and find the one that goes off with the light on the dash...probably the quickest way to find it without knowing.

did you check voltage at that plug yet? Also did you check the wires up at the fuse block on top by the batteries? Probably fried a link...pull on them and see which one comes apart and replace it.

That's excellent!! I see a 4th groove on the water pump pulley...did you add one on the end or get another pulley and also add one on the crank too? Did you make another one of those brackets or have a diagram on how to make it? I got 2 of these that I need to get ac in. I assume the...

Well, I think I've exhausted what I'd look for before I'd replace a part...be nice to at least see some change in it when you try something just to give some verification...well...wish you weren't on the other side of the country...I'd buy that setup all day!

That does make sense...just hoping it could be something cheaper!! It would take some brake lines to put the 2 lines going to the hydro boost to bypass it to see if the noise goes away...I'd be curious if a valve in the boost is vibrating or pressure relief spring is weak or broken in it...the...

That's a nice setup!! I wanted to ask if you have done the 3 foot screwdriver to the ear sound check on the 5 idle pulleys on this engine...that ac clutch one is magnificent...great way to keep the stock belt routing...just throwing that out there just to make sure it's not one of them vs the...

I get the heavy duty flasher that helps if you hook up a trailer with lights as well.

Having it out would make it easier, I try to have someone with to hammer while I hold it square.

That's a great rebuild of the front axle...that center come out easy enough I hope. Should be good for a long time now.

There ya go!! Gotta have both of those lit with the key on not running and sometimes both will be lit when turning over or sometimes 1 will go out but 2 stay on...with really good batteries and solid alternators that's what mine do...the power to the alternators regulator goes through those...

You say no alt lights for gen one or 2...do the lights come on with the key on and engine not running?
