    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well thanks, I am glad your serious about the condition of my truck, that's awesome. I saw a video of someone changing tanks on an OBS era truck and the guards under the tank had slots for drainage. I was thinking of maybe making some on mine for the reasons you mention, if I use them again...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Your tanks seem to be much further forward under the cab than mine. Difference between 2x4 and 4x4 I guess.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    If I am taking the cat off, which I understand can be a PIA, should I try a trick I saw from a guy on yew toob that says "Rev Your Engines"? If it looks clogged you can soak the cat in dish soap and water overnight to clear the honeycomb... I most likely could benefit from a new cat/exhaust...

    @Ricko1966 , I remember the first time you posted the pic of the tank down with brackets the first time. I was looking. And it was probably you, but I also remember the pic of the new tank ready to go up in brackets, strapped in, and hoses attached to sending unit ports.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I meant getting the brackets off the frame. Yes my intent is to keep the holding brackets strapped to the tank while lowering. And I also meant getting new brackets and straps when I said I am getting new straps. I was collectively grouping the whole piece together(straps, brackets, bolts). I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I decided to take the plastic cover off the tank to get a better look and get that out the way when I finally am able to spend enough time taking the tank down. Hopefully some on Saturday and then maybe the rest on Tuesday next week. Look what was inside the tank shield! Look at that rusty ass...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    How am I going to get to that straps bolts? Will it be ok to take the cat off to take the tank out? There seems to be a shield above the cat. I suppose taking the cat out to get this tank down will answer the question about my cat causing the studder, unless I have to cut in to the cat to find...

    So I got under and found that the catalytic converter is directly in front of the drivers side front tank strap. The rear strap seems to be easily accesible Please see first 3 pics:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    looked at the drivers tank yesterday just to study and see what I could find. Found a rusty pin hole in the back corner. I will try to post photos soon. That tank has to go so I want to drop it while trouble shooting the passenger tank that kind of works, examine the parts and then order new...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I am certain my experience will be similar. All the other ones have been. Power window motor, shocks. Changing the oil pressure sending unit was easy. When my drivers tank quit on me and I crawled under my truck to take the cover off my tank switching valve to trouble shoot. I was immediately...

    Yes I know about the reference library but I did want physical copies for my library, which is filled with deep mahogany and many leather bound books! Lol

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Also, I ordered the 1987 GM Light Duty Truck Driveability and Emmissions manual that goes along with my 1987 LDT Service Manual. I want to study everything about the fuel system. You know it's kind of funny, I ordered the Service manual initially to have clear info on the fuel system and then...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    When it warms up I am going to take a close look at both tanks, check their ground wires, make sure they are actually attached at the frame, check the grounds in the engine bay if I can find them, and pressure test the fuel. The results may determine what I do next. I am fairly certain this has...

    Pulled the tarp covering the cab back far enough to grab my Blue Tooth device and move it to my CRV.:confused:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Unfortunately I just filled the working passenger side tank to help with all the problem solving I was sure related to TBI electronics that live in and around the throttle body itself. Now it definitely seems as if it could be the old electronic pumps in the tank and/or clogged sock filters on...

    I really need a garage space for my truck so I can begin doing the same.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Both of my tanks used to work then the drivers side died on me one day. I would switch periodically to keep things flowing, so I have always had an idea that this tank/pump/selector/sending unit issue would be abrupt and necessary.
