    Sm465 knocking while in reverse

    Oof, mine is set close to the bottom one. But there's a wedge under my leafs. That set the angle when I installed new ones. But because I got a long one piece shaft it's not as steep an angle for the long shaft opposed to the shorter 2 piece shaft

    Sm465 knocking while in reverse

    The centers are seated. I made sure of that when I installed new springs. Would the tip of the drive shaft cause a knock like that you think?

    Gas gauge wiring question

    I was looking into it today, reading some schematics and reading some threads. There's two in the truck side of the plug I'll call it and three on the tank side. From what I can understand, black was ground, pink was gauge or fuel level, and the third was power to the pump. So I'm gunna try...
