Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild

Update!! Well, been driving the truck a bit and still working out small bugs. The temp gauge ended up being a short in the harness somewhere. I installed the new sending unit and had the same issue. Looks like there is a short somewhere in the harness. The sending signal has to go through the firewall connector and the gauge cluster connector so will probably be in there somewhere. For now it is bypassed, but will hunt that down and get her fixed.

I am experiencing leaking pwr steering fluid. It seems to be coming out of the return line for the pump. The pump that came with the LS is for a hydroboost setup. For some reason fluid is coming out of this return line tube. I am going to re-bleed and see if that fixes the issue. Perhaps there is still air in the line trying to get out and forcing fluid out at the weakest point.

I also have to adjust the steering as well. I didn't adjust the drag link properly for the drop pitman so my steering is off one full turn on one side. Yikes.

Other than that she is running beautifully.

Hopefully some pics next weekend in Carlisle.
