    Who makes a good Oil sending unit?

    Just bought an 80psi Standard Motor one, in less than 200 miles either it or my gauge died. Won't read over 30psi now. I do plan to test the pressure with my mechanical diagnostic gauge to make sure, but at this point i am really pointing my finger at the sending unit. So who makes a good one...

    New Slip Yoke for NP241

    does the brand really matter? they range in price from 43.00 on ebay for a Century Automotive, up to 140 for a Forged Sonnax. I am not running anything that would required the forged unit, so I am not really considering that.

    Fishing wires through door connector?

    The inlet is like 2" above the door boot, which looks riveted on? What is the absolute easiest way to fish some speaker wire through? Yes i know kicks would sound better, but they will get in the way of my foot, and i currently only have the 4x10s in the back so adding something to the doors...

    how to fish wires through column?

    someone was a moron (me) and when the old turn signal stalk was removed a piece of wire, string etc was not attached to the other end of the cruise wires so i could have easily fed my new ones through...... so how do i do it now?

    anything to look out for on newer Burbs?

    don't get me wrong. I would LOVE a squarebody burb to be my new family hauler but it just isnt realistic. looking at 2006 and newer burbs, but in my price range mileage is around 100K. not worried about that as I would think they can go 250k+ easily, but is there anything that starts to go...

    Thermac system?

    I understand the basis, and i believe it is supposed to try and regulate the temp between 85-115. My 2 questions are: when it is 20f outside, will the door in the snorkel open once at operating temp, because mine did not today. It will open when the engine is off Will that door open under WOT?

    Transfer case output seal leak?

    Fresh rebuild np241, all seals and rear bushing are new. After only 250 miles, the tcase was down 0.75qt. The pic area was cleaned and dry before going on a 25mi test drive and this is what it looked like after. From what i can see the seal is still dry, case is dry everywhere, and the only...

    New speedo reads really slow

    I got a entire cluster from a 89 diesel burb. I swapped my gas fuel gauge and put it in. I changed to an 18/42t combo for the speedo drive on the tcase. Original combo was 18/44t. Currently reads like 15% slow as compared to gps. Smaller gear should read faster right? Tires are 29.6" diameter

    do i need to drop tank to get to ground?

    was looking yesterday at the drivers side tank. but can't find where the grounds are for the tank. is it accessible w/o dropping the tank? if i need to drop tank, i think the cat converter heat shield is in the way. lots of threads on bad grounds, no so much on their actual location

    How much for used gm 10 bolt?

    I have only called 1 yard, they want 250.00 for my ratio. I think i need new pinion bearings, as there is about 1/8" side to side slop. I thought it was just a bad seal, until i pulled on it. There is also my whining noise under acceleration, which would make sense with that much slop to me...

    what exactly does this do?

    i mean, I know it is a light, and it goes in by the fuel gauge, but what is the other part? the fuel gauge appears to work w/o it plugged in, so what is it?

    Trick to get glass lined up in door?

    I swapped my passenger side vent window and installed new seals, but am having issues getting it all to line up properly. Seems i can only get 1 side in at a time. I had both partially for a little bit, but couldn't get it fully in. It also binds a bit, i lubed up the regulator and that helped...

    Bent vent window frame

    So when the junkyard removed my newer vent windows, the managed to tweak the drivers side, i need to bend it back. Do i dare stick it in a vise and try to tweak it back? I should clarify, it is the actual window track that was tweaked, not the vent window Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

    Sticky right front caliper

    Both calipers and hoses are new. But the right front doesnt seem to fully release. The left side has a bit of play in the caliper when the brakes are released, but the right has none ans the brakes are dragging. I have bled everything including rears. Not sure where else to start looking...

    What does everyone do? Last part to reinstall on my front end. Read some stuff online about 90w gear oil, others said nothing, some said bearing grease. Does it matter? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
