    So got home this afternoon and went to work on the truck. I started with pulling the plugs on the selector valve under the truck and cleaned all the dirt off and plugged it back in. Switch now works inside the cab and have the passenger tank reading on the fuel gauge. Checked pink wire from...

    Fuel gauge reading past full

    I’m going to try and tackle this tonight. I’ll start at the plug under the hood and go down the line like you explained. Thanks for all the input

    I have not tried that. I have some 14g wire I can strip and use which should work to test that. I’ll give that a try and see what happens

    Fuel gauge reading past full

    @JamesSam good luck on figuring it out. If you have any help it would be appreciated. Unfortunately I live in Texas and this heat is limiting me on how much I can actually work on this. Goal is to get the truck running on its own and then will tackle the massive oil leak is has. I’ve rebuilt the...

    Fuel gauge reading past full

    Unfortunately I have no clue if the gauge worked or not. It was running when parked in 2004 and I pulled it from a barn in 2021. Both tanks had holes so I dropped them and replaced with new tanks and sending units. If I pull the fuel lines on the pump and that go from the tanks into the pump and...

    Also after putting new gas tanks and sending units in both sides truck won’t start. I can pull lines off pump into a gas can and truck fires instantly and runs. Truck sat for about 15 years prior to me getting it. Is there a process needed to prime it or just have to keep cranking and it will...

    Fuel gauge reading past full

    Ok, got home and checked both grounds. Sanded where the grounds connected to make sure it was getting good ground and still reading 3 o’clock position. With the key of it will drop to about the 1:30-2 position. The transfer switch in the cab I believe it out. When I push it I don’t hear anything...

    Fuel gauge reading past full

    I’ve got an 83 C-10 and I’ve recently changed both tanks and sending units. Got them all installed and the gauge is reading at the 3:00 position. A lot of post say the sending unit is bad however I changed all parts so that shouldn’t be my issue. Both were grounded to the frame in the same...

    Carburetor rebuild issues

    Just thought I would update the post on this one. After doing some more research and tearing the carburetor back apart and rebuilding again got it installed and started it for the first time in 15+ years. Runs pretty smooth now to tack down all the oil leaks

    Carburetor rebuild help!

    I did my first carb rebuild on the Rochester quadrajet and after installing back on the truck I realized it was flooding instantly. I pulled the carb back off and adjusted the float to the correct setting which I was misinformed on the original. After pulling the air horn off I noticed a plastic...

    EGR bleed solenoid

    I agree. The truck I’m starting to rebuild sat for about 15 years and I’m trying to get everything out back to stock so I can have a good starting point to see what all needs to be done to it. Unfortunately I know a lot of parts are no longer manufactured especially some of the emission parts.

    Carburetor rebuild issues

    Does anyone recommend a YouTube or any other tutorial to follow while rebuilding? I found one on YouTube but I’m beginning to think they might have left out some steps in the process.
