I took advantage of truck being a cab and chassis and replaced the fuel tank sending unit.
My gauge was not very reliable. It would read near full and then about 1/3 tank. Even when the truck would be near empty the gauge would read not read empty.
The tank was pretty clean on the inside...
Replaced Alt 1, all belts, and the harmonic balancer. The charging system is now to the high end of green and the belt squealing has stopped. The crank pulley still has a little wave to it but nothing like before.
Found I had the opportunity to replace my heater core. Of course I broke off 2 of the bolts at the plastic housing. It's back up and running with no leaks and a repaired plastic housing. I'm not sure if I can see the difference in heat living in So Cal but at least the passenger's feet won't...
I had the opportunity to remove and replace my radiator twice. The second time I opted for a re-core. So far no leaks. After seeing the old core, I don't understand how it wasn't over heating.
When I was trouble shooting my lights in the gauge cluster, I energized each circuit to make sure the path was good, bulb was good, and the connections were solid. I also cleaned the connections with a pencil eraser. This helped me narrow down the issue.
