    New Sanden 508 compressor

    Tired of replacing this every few months. This one lasted seven. I see leaking from both the body and the hose connectors. Wanting to switch to the Sanden 508. The shop is asking if I want to switch all the pulleys to serpentine. Already anticipating the headache and bill. I'm thinking of just...

    Oil Pressure Sensor Location

    The newest problem. Watching several videos and post here, still not sure. The sensor on the top back of the engine under the distributor appears longer than all the parts the various stores are showing are right for my truck (87 350). Now I see there is another sender down by the oil filter. My...

    Thanks!

    I just wanted to say thank you for all the folks that have helped me on this site over the years. From my latest AC cooling fan, adding new speakers under the dash, steering, suspension, electrical, the list goes on. I have benefited so much and my truck is proof. This truck looks and runs...

    how to wire an electric auxiliary fan to come on with vehicle ac

    Can't seem to find info on it anywhere. I would like to add an electric fan to cool the condenser in front of the radiator. I have about 10" to fit the fan between the oil cooler and outside edge of the condenser. I would like to have the fan turn on with the compressor, but not cycle on and off...

    New issue

    Trying to see what might be rattling underneath, I found the metal tube that protects the starter wires from the exhaust was not connected. Then I noticed the support bar that bolts to the bell housing was loose. The bolt has snapped and was just sitting there. Can't imagine how it stayed there...

    Intake manifold and stripped bolt

    I have narrowed down a possible oil leak due to a stripped intake manifold bolt. The furthest back towards the fire wall, passenger side. Can I drill a new hole and put a helicoil in? Any tips of the trade would be appreciated.

    How to tighten power steering pulley belt

    Changed out the power steering pump and having a hard time getting the belt to tighten. It appears the AC compressor belt is keeping the PS belt from snugging up. Is there a sequence I'm not aware of?

    Brake Booster Adjustment

    The shop put a new master cylinder and booster. Now the brake pedal does not come all the way back up. Sometimes the brake lights stay on. It's not the switch, I don't think the booster rod is allowing the brake pedal to return. Is there an adjustment for that?

    Question for clearing out garage...

    What is the best way to get rid of extra parts taking up space in the garage. Talking about gauge cluster with missing gauges, original intake manifold, square headlights, and various other stuff. Is it worth the time to try to sell or, just give away and still keep until someone responds?

    Hidden Rattle Found, Update Not Found!

    PSA! look under those thick bed mats every so often. The two most forward bed bolts where gone. Here is what was in one of the holes. This is what a 38 year old bed bolt looks like when not inspected. Well after a short drive, this was not the rattle I was hearing. Still a good thing to find and...

    Go Rhino Bed Bar Height

    I am considering the Go Rhino Bed Bars for my 87. My long shot question is what is the height of the bars? How high over the cab do they go? I just barely fit in the garage now. I have not been able to find the answer anywhere. Hopefully someone here has them and can say. Thanks!

    Help with Windshield Wiper Blades

    I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I am on my third set of wiper blades that just don't fit on the post arm like the originals. What is everyone using for wiper blade replacements? Tried the Anco and Trico Gold. The attaching points don't feel right on them.

    Jumpy oil pressure gauge

    Every once in a while the gauge will start bouncing around like it's an electrical thing. Most times it's steady and rock solid, then it will start getting jitters. Both under power and at idle. Is this a sign of a bad sending unit. Other than that all is well and the engine performance is...

    fuel switching valve cover attaching points?

    Since taking the cover off to replace the valve, I can't for the life of me remember how it all goes back together. I have the furthest hole back attached and the bar attaching it to the frame, but the furtherst forward hole in the cover does not appear to have anywhere to bolt to. Can't find...

    What are the odds

    Took a month but finally figured it all out. What are the odds of having a bad ground on a new fuel tank switch and a bad switching valve. Not being a mechanic or electrical engineer happy to have her rolling along in tip top shape.

    Splash guard ideas

    Since changing rims and gaining some inches sticking out, is there nice molded splash guards made for squares? Can't seem to find any.
