    Anyone have a fuel pump push rod break in half?

    M1008 Fuse Block

    The fuse block on my truck has some broken off terminals where the fuses slide in. It looks like many years ago the fuses bonded to the brass holders they slide into and when someone went to remove the fuses they took the actual brass holders along with them. Anyone know where to get a used...
