Lowering truck
Yes, or you can drill a new pin holes in the rear axle saddles, forward of the original pin hole. 1 inch to 1 1/4 inch center to center. This will move the axle back.- Turbo4whl

Spider gear reinstall?
Put one gear in with the bushing. Turn one side gear so that spider goes past the pin hole. When you go far enough you can put in the second gear and bushing directly opposite of the other. Put the axle C clips in. Turn the whole diff so the pin hole is facing out and slide the pin in.- Turbo4whl

How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!
We had one in our machine shop. Brake blocks were square cut. Rivet punch machine, punch the rivets, clean and paint the shoes. Switch out the machine and set all the new rivets. Our large brake lathe had a hoist with a scale. Open center wheels, 10.00 20 duals still on the hub with the bolted... -

I think Perry said it all by liking the posts I made about brake burnishing. He even laughed about the Escapes. The Transits I service are even worse than the Escapes, stupid, batteries under the driver's seat, how lame. -

Taylor, where you can really tell the difference between burnishing the brakes and not doing it is on the larger trucks. F550's rated at 19,000 lbs and up through all the brands, you can tell the difference by the seat of your pants, and the more solid pedal feel. On lighter units, the brakes... -
Anyone live near Alamo, California, 94507
There is an EBAY seller that has a bicycle frame I would like to buy, but they will not ship it. The frame has been listed for weeks and I guess no one nearby wants it. I sent the seller a message about shipping, no reply. I will gladly pay the shipping and your time.- Turbo4whl

How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!
@bucket People also ask How to properly burnish brakes? What happens if you don't burnish brakes? Put simply, you'll have less braking power. Skipping the brake burnishing procedure means your rotors won't be coated with brake pad material. At the same time, the pads might not have... -
How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!
This is my point exactly. No one asks to have rotors or drums cut now. The old established stores have people that knew how to cut a rotor. Now the same people at chain stores that don't know how to lookup a part in a book, are the same people who will try to cut a rotor. They can't do that either. -
How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!
Yes. Each truck manufacture lists their procedure for brake "break-in". Brake manufacture Meritor, who makes lots of brakes for many vehicles lists their burnish procedure as two high speed stops with cooling time in between. I have found this works well for almost all new brake pads and shoes... -

Yes, they are cheap junk too. My 2 cents: I know it's hard to find someone to resurface those rotors. Clean and inspect your bearings and races. Pack the bearings with quality grease. New grease seal and put those rotor/hubs back on and run them. Burnish the new brake pads, truck will stop fine! -

Tach wire and relay
Electronic spark control will use the tach port. It usually will have a short piggyback empty plug you can use for the tach signal. If it does not, you can add the piggyback jumper.- Turbo4whl

Running new taillight harness?
There is a round plug like this next to the firewall under the brake master cylinder. Then another plug like it at the rear of the bed. There is no ground in that plug, the light assembly grounds to the body. Sometimes the rust between the body and the frame, the body looses it's ground. No...- Turbo4whl

Kirk welcome to the forum. Your 1973 and some 1974 square body trucks are the only one's that had point distributors. All newer SB light duty trucks have a GM HEI.- Turbo4whl

1985 Scottsdale, finally getting some love.
Well if you have lights, (always hot) and you have wipers, (accessories) then you probably do not have a burn fusible links. The ignition switch low on the column is connected by a rod to the key cylinder. Tilt column has more parts. The ignition switch is adjustable. The rod may not be moving...- Turbo4whl
