    Starter and Alternator wires

    Thank you all for the help. I’ll go take a look and see if I can make sense of it now.

    Starter and Alternator wires

    The cut off portions on the starter are gone. The starter was sitting inside the cab. The alternator was gone completely. I think I’ll be good to splice some sections in. I just wanted to make sure the right wires were there and I wasn’t missing any fusible links or anything. I haven’t done much...

    Starter and Alternator wires

    Looking for some help or at least a direction to go to find an answer. I picked up a '79 GMC k1500 Suburban. The previous owner started to pull the engine out and then gave up. The wires to the starter and to the alternator were cut. I'm not sure which wires and how many wires there should be...

    SM466 input bearing retainer thickness

    Thanks for the tips. I looked pretty close at the bearing. It looks good and rotates well. I replaced the pilot bushing with another bushing, not a bearing. I put a luk clutch kit in it. I’m mostly curious about that retainer gasket. I can probably find one to order if the .030” gasket material...

    SM466 input bearing retainer thickness

    I discovered the input shaft bearing retainer spout was broken off when I pulled the transmission for a clutch replacement(sm465). I have a new one ordered (I think it’s the right one) but I’m curious about the gasket thickness that goes between the retainer and the transmission case. I’m...

    Fusible link?

    I’ll check for pinched wires. Would it be possible that there was a grounding issue somehow through the column when I was pulling it? The small fire happened while I was removing all the hardware to pull the column out. I don’t remember if I had started disconnecting wiring connectors yet or...

    Fusible link?

    I thought the pictures posted with my first post. I’ll try again. Hopefully they come through.

    Thanks for the advice and the welcomes. Update: I found a used pedal assembly and swapped it out today. Clutch pedal is better aligned and no longer squeaks. But, (I think I started another post with this same story/question) when I was pulling the steering column out today somehow along the...

    Fusible link?

    I believe I burned up my fusible link. I’m new to working on rigs and I’m learning learning. I pulled out my steering column to replace my clutch/brake pedal assembly. In the process I smelled smoke and noticed the rubber spacer between the power steering box and the lower steering shaft was...

    Thanks for the comments. After looking at it some more it does appear to be bent. I think I’ll try and heat it and bend it back. I’ll also try and get some pictures up under the dash.

    I’m new to the forum. I’m in South Central Idaho. I do not have experience working on square bodies or much mechanic experience period. I grew up driving a ‘74 Custom 10 all time 4 wheel drive. I let it go and have regretted it since. My grandpa bought it new and I was young and dumb. I just...
