Do you have replacement female ends that attach to the Glow Plug? I could use a couple.

After going through almost immediate fail on the Dorman hinge pin kits, I only use Cunningham Machine. Install an anchor hook to a ceiling joist in that garage and use ratchet straps from there.

So I am down to replacing grommet on wiper/washer pump, recharge ac (Will ask for the seasonal discount), replacement encoder motor. That and add another 500 miles before towing the tractor down to SoCal.

I’ll check ABS codes. I called AC Delco on the transfer case encoder motor and they are processing a warranty claim on my behalf with Amazon. Preference priority: 1) New encoder motor that works, 2) full refund. They said it could take up to 5 days for Amazon to respond.

Went to start the ‘99 this am after a fresh snow and temp of 31F. Cycled the glows just two seconds and it started immediately and ran clean with just a little puff of white smoke. Went to fill it up and the ABS light came back on. Still believe it’s a ground issue, but I’ll deal with that when...

Went to start the ‘99 with the new Optimizer this am and no start. Just endles spinning with occasional partial light in a cylinder. I’m like WTF!!!! Sat and thought about it and concluded it must be the curse of the Will L. kinked clear return line. So off to ACE hardware to purchase a foot of...

The return line T?

There is no length that would not kink.

I tried a longer loop and had the same result. Kept cutting it back until this point. Hard to do it in colder weather.

Replace the Will L clear line. The old one broke apart during removal. Due to the cold weather, I had to boil the new line in the microwave to get it pliable. Yes I blow dried inside to dry the water out. There is no way to avoid the kink in the hose. I tried various lengths. Did get rid of the...

I will find out where this chassis ground is. To me it’s like trying to find the G-spot. I will change the Will L clear line today as part of chasing down the air leak. Last time it was on the suction side between the tank and lift pump and everything got replaced. Why it reappeared again while...

Security light has always been on. It’s due to Bill Heath’s tune.

Correction, we use 5/8s tank to go 447 miles.

One last thing on the truck. The ABS light stayed off the entire trip, which means they are working. I think that when our local mechanic cleaned the chassis ground to address the transfer case shifting, we got the BOGO cure of the ABS. That ABS has not worked continuously since shortly after I...

Spent Friday clearing up fuel leaks on passenger side due to crappy return lines. Once the leaks were cleaned up, I did a time set and TDCO learn. Ended up at 3.2 actual timing and -1.14 TDCO. Drove it to Napa to return the Power Steering pulley puller tool and had air in the fuel lines the...

Tried the bypass kit and it had no effect on the bad pump. 2nd pump worked immediately and it is using the eco from the original pump.

My mechanic had it narrowed down to actuator, then a faulty wire. Actuator solved 3 of 4. We’ll work on the rest. Important part is the actuator plays a binary function: Locked axle or not locked. The transfer case shifting is back at the transfer case. Yes I am sitting on a new AC Delco...

The actuator merely locks the front axle. It is a plastic jack screw that pushes out and locks the axle. The shift positions are at the transfer case. The shift or encoder motor is what moves and shifts the transfer case into 4 hi and 4 Lo. The encoder motor does rely on a signal from the...
