    Master cylinder lid leaking

    Very true!

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    I do check for leaks and the condition of pads/shoes regularly. So no need to pop the lid if there are no leaks.

    A new master seems to have solved the problem.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    That is exactly what I was thinking! But a new master seems to have solved the problem. I'll drive it more this week and know for sure.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    It started leaking and I had not had the lid off for a few years. It was down low, so I had to add fluid. I topped it off to about 1/4" from the top. It leaked, leaked with a new gasket, leaked with a new lid and gasket. So now I am just going to install a new master.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    Thanks! That sounds like something worth trying! Beats changing out the master, which is what I was going to do today. If it does not work, change master tomorrow.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    No recent brake work. Maybe about 4 years ago. Has always worked great.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    Lid is definately tight. Odd that is just started. And it leaks everywhere around the lid. The master is old but works fine. It is very clean, the old lid had some rust. I could see a leak in a specific area that went bad, but not all around the lid. I'm baffled!

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    I had been driving it for several years and never opened it. It just started leaking. It was half empty when I checked it, topped it off to about 1/4" from the top. I doubt the level has anything to do with it. Something odd is going on.

    Master cylinder lid leaking

    My 1982 GMC 2500 started leaking brake fluid around the lid. I tried a new gasket, still leaked. So today I put on a whole new lid with new gasket. Took her for a spin and the same thing is happening. It's leaking fluid around the whole lid, front, back and sides! WTF? The truck has a hydro...

    Fuel gauge

    How hard is it to swap out the fuel gauge in the cluster? My truck is a 1982 GMC.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    When I was a kid and traveled with my Grandpa, he would leave the windows down, $100 dollar bill on the dash and Blackie his Doberman in the cab. Made many trips across the US in his 82 GMC, which is now mine. No one ever bothered the truck. He cracked me up doing this.

    Question on where to get a 6.2 fuel line feeding the lift pump?

    I just used regular fuel hose on my 82 GMC. Worked fine.

    Fuel sending unit

    I just need to know if the sending units are the same between gas and diesel. I'm seeing different part numbers between the 6.2 diesel, 454 and 350. But the tanks are all the same. 20 gallon dual side tanks.

    6.2 to 350 swap

    Got it all figured out and she purrs like a kitten! Just need to replace tanks now and she will be on the road! Thanks for the help!

    Fuel sending unit

    Switching to gas from diesel. Curious if the sending units in my tanks will be ok with gas. Thanks!

    Hood latch

    Great idea!

    Hood latch

    Well, you are correct, it has survived. I spend a lot of time up in the mountains and can only carry so many tools. Just the fear of it breaking and not being able to get under the hood. So if it did, how hard is it to get the hood open?

    Hood latch

    Curious if there is a way to get rid of the cable hood latch in my 82 GMC and just have the reach through the grill type to open the hood. Also curious how one would open the hood if that cable was to break? Don't think it would be easy.

    6.2 to 350 swap

    Thanks for the info! I will look at mine and see what I can figure out.

    6.2 to 350 swap

    Well if you get there, let me know what you figure out. I most likely won't get that far this weekend. Still have a few little things to get done with the new engine. Thanks for the help!

    6.2 to 350 swap

    Thanks! I guess I will cut them where they branch off and just save the ends in case I ever go back.
