yours looks practically new! let me see if I can find the plastic ring that holds the filter like your FTB one. I feel like that is my whole problem. these aftermarket caps the auto parts gives you with the filters now rotate on the seal when you tighten down on them, I'm sure the...
I still have the FFM that came off the 95 truck that at the time didn't leak, only reason I removed it was I didn't like the fuel hoses under the intake. problem is on it is I made a mistake. drained the fuel from it and left it in the shed. went to get it out and found it plumb full of...
What did you replace your FFM with? I know it gets mighty colder where your at than in central Texas. we rarely see anything below freezing. Although when we do...Burrr....
as for the facet LP with the sediment bowl, I have that on both trucks down on the frame. I see the jungle site shows little 100w and 75w filter blankets. I think that wattage is too much. maybe if I can come up with some 12v heat tape like used on water pipes that would pull maybe 50 watts I...
That might work. I would like to go back to the OEM style filter that had the metal top and removable ring. I can get the filters but have not found the ring for it. I feel like that style would seal better than these aftermarket one piece caps.
I doubt the fuel heater will help me anyway since I have the facet LP down on the frame and it also has a clear sediment bowl. I will find out later on if the weather get cold enough. I always treat the fuel for the winter anyway.
Back at it with the FFM on the 93 again! got home from work this evening and popped the hood just to check on it and the oil leak from the oil pump drive. Found the cap seeping fuel on the FFM. the fender wasn't wet but the cap and housing was wet. got my filter wrench and cranked down on...
I would come and do the swap to have a good engine for my truck but your a little far from my area.
just curious on the other van, if it's a decent van of the same weight class, even lighter weight doing a suspension swap, would it be more practical to fix it up using parts from your current...
On your gauge pod atop the dash, make you a bottom cover from plexi-glass or wood so you can place some velcro strips to hold it into place. if you use one of those carpet dash covers it will stick without the need of the other strip glued to the dash!
I've looked for them but they are all for like you say 96+. since this is a 93 the seats are slightly different. curious though if those for the newer model would work or could be made to work.
Once I get that sorted out I also want to attempt something on the drivers seat foam on the bottom. I can't find any replacements for the older pre-94 seats that won't break the bank. the fabric is not torn just has some wear. the foam at the drivers door has collapsed for age and getting in...
I have the steering wheel soaking in a pan of water with some dawn soap and two dishwasher pods to try and break up the motor oil in the foam rubber. I had cleaned the surface but if you squeeze your hand on it your hands start turning black and feel oily. I don't want to use too harsh of...
@Big T run you a longer loop. it looks like the return piping is closer to the IP that it normally would be. not an issue though, just add about 8 extra inches of length and loop it around the turbo oil feed hose and you should be good without a kink.
My post above with GMTDscan is for 94-95 only OBD1 trucks. I read your signature and see all yours are 96+ OBD2. there is a procedure to do the TDCO without a scanner for them but is not the best way. use a tech 2 for them and it will make your life much better 😉
@Rodd what are you using to set TDCO? tech 2 or the GMTDscan on a computer? lots of fellas try to use a Snap-on scanner for this but they are known to show incorrect timing readings and why folks have so many issues getting it right.
what has worked for me and seems to be the method in the...
Hey guys. Question for y’all. I was digging around in the parts bin I got with this 93 truck and pulled out this steering wheel. It’s in good shape other than the top has separated from the inner steel so I would like to try injecting some glue to fix but that same area is also saturated...
the one I linked is a knock-off from china. I was just looking at the reviews and it seems the tanks are also not DOT approved meaning no one here in the states will fill them. might be a better option to just plan to buy new tanks here and get the setup without tanks online.
you can also pull the GP's out and pull the thermostat housing off filling the block to the level with coolant or water. then use the compression tester to pressurize each cylinder one by one to determine where the head gasket is not sealing. iirc there is a different spec to use on how far...
