    What have you done to your square lately??

    I still have not purchased new brackets, straps, or anti squeak because of the price, as you mentioned @Grit dog , for the brackets. I am still on the fence about buying new or restoring old. I think you just talked me in to grinding down the old brackets clean and painting to save money.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I get ahead of myself. I am stockpiling to start a project that to me will improve the life of the truck. Yes it's true, I really don't know the exact problem but I assume, guilty. One of the first big projects I thought needed to be re-done was gas tanks but always was intimidated by the job...

    My wife and I just watched Groundhog Day with our kids for the first time tonight. Such an awesome movie. I think I saw it with my Mom and Dad at least 3 times in the theater when it came out.

    @TotalyHucked Zach, do you recommend AMD brackets, straps, and anti squeak kits? I want to support our passion through the community. It looks like AMD has all the remaining peices to my puzzle. Give me some insight.

    Walked past it a couple times and stared at it, then ordered a Walbro fuel pump. JEGS first e mail said my GM TBI adaptor has shipped and arrival would be today, I thought to myself: "That's f***** fast!", then I clicked the track package icon and Fed Ex doesn't even have it yet. Rain all day...

    I found an OEM TBI adaptor at JEGS for $16.99! Woohoo! Shipping is $16.99 Doh! Should I just order it?

    I also found a couple of GM specific adaptor valves that you hook up in line and you pop a pressure guage right on to the side. Too bad both of them are nearly $50!! They cost more than some of pressure test kits!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yes I was thinking I would be able to hook up one like I saw in a video. The guy used an OTC kit that had a specific Schrader T style valve specific for GM TBI as it listed on the OTC kit contents. I'm looking in to the Actron brand test port that @gmbellew mentioned.

    Like @Ricko1966 mentioned.

    There are many different Schrader valves but none are a direct fit to the fuel pump. I think I can pull off a test with a T fitting, some clamps and hose from this kit.

    I think I can rig that up from this kit actually.

    That didn't translate as well as I thought it would but if you hover over what should be a link, it will give you an option to open and watch...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Something makes me think this could be it. This video randomly popped in to my Y Toob feed and it seems likely what my truck has going on. It's just a guy talking but what he shows you is what I will be looking for when I finally do swap out tank and fuel...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Bought a fuel filter to see which attachments I could use on the truck with the pressure tester guage I borrowed: a Betooll 0-140 psi kit. Nothing fits GM TBI from it. Does anyone have an affordable, or reliable definite go to kit they recommend that has an attachment to test GM TBI?

    All the ones I have found are cut and weld required.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No if I were to take the truck to a mechanic at a garage to work on it is what I meant but I get what your saying, which is why I am running around buying all the stuff I need to do the next project for the truck without asking permission. I will be asking forgiveness. Oh, and I cook dinner...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sorry All, I will only post in this thread when I make some progress and stop derailing it. This is the longest my truck has been OOC since I have owned it and I don't like it. Until this problem I have been able to fix the problems or upgrade if needed. Thanks all for your input I appreciate it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You make great points here Todd. I can remind you of my truck symptoms but I'm sure it's driving everyone else crazy. Currently I am going after the drivers tank since it hasn't worked in over a year and it needs to be replaced. I then realized the cat is in the way. I feel like removing the bed...

    Yes Sir! Working on it Sir! Lol. I am planning to borrow a saw zaw from a friend or my father in law and getting to the tank.

    First pic is cab side of the cat second pic is the bed side of the cat. No way I can get in there to the tank bracket bolts with it in place.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    At Oreilley's to pick up my new tank and sender. I guess I'll ask about the pipe cutter and see about a new cat.
