All are solid.
Haven't dug into the Dash yet except fuse box.
The Dash wiring...
I did that yesterday and physically checked every fuse link.
Already applied Electrical grease to everything and made sure all connections tight.

Installed new blower resistor and fan doesn't work after a bit.
Doing same thing.
Fan comes on and works fine, then quits and GEN1 light comes on.
Alternator works fine and when GEN1 light is on, Dash VM is still reading fine.

Still waiting to hear from a source...
Running that turbo wheel as is and you risk bearing failure or worse, the wheel will/could disintegrate at speed causing a lot of damage.
It’s like a grenade going off.
Your guaranteed an engine rebuild then with all the metal it will injest.

As noted, ACDelco still makes them.
There was a SS member who repaired his using AN fittings and braided hose.
