Did somebody do something wrong over there or what? I miss a day or two on here and stuff happens and threads get lost and ...

It was closed due to the site having issues. They closed some other huge threads too like the "Word Association Game", but they are happy to have us start a new one.

My interior upgrade continues - I installed new Soffseals around the doors as the old weatherstrip wasn't performing well at all. Also got the the wiring cleaned up inside the dash, reinstalled the glove box and door, plus the dash bezel. Next comes the fat mat and carpeting.

magwakeenercew2jh · 01-19-2014, 08:29 PM

Played some more with the glove box door. This time, the inside.
Fixed the "For Grins" SPID.

Burgie70 · 02-02-2014, 05:26 PM

I put on a new fuel pump. What a pain trying to keep that rod up in there and get the gaskets situated. Required another set of hands from my friend. Now I know why people go with an electric one.

Next time put some grease on the rod it will hold it up while you do the pump.

ole dollor · 04-07-2014, 09:53 PM

grease works good ,and you can use a small round long screw driver and hold it up till you get the pump in place.. just make sure the rod is all the way up. its helps a lot.

Put a glob of grease on the end of the rod, push it in it will say in place while you mount the pump. Old school trick I learned from my dad.

firedemon · 07-22-2015, 08:55 PM

got the rims sandblasted painted mounted and put on now just need a lil cash for trim rings and center caps . didn't get pics but found a puddle of brake fluid on floor mat so I had to replace the master and front brake hoses

In The Ten Ring · 07-22-2015, 10:09 PM

I worked on my truck all day but didn't take any pics.

1). Ran ERR on a bracket (with little effect).

2). Used compressed air to blow out the tunnel at the base of the new-to-me core support. Not sure if this is sand from the blaster or from its last home of California.

3). I spay painted the strap to the canister bracket.

4). I NAPA Rust Treated the screws for the headlight adjustments after a bit of time on the wire wheel.

5). I bought spray paint for the truck's parts.

6). I bought the new Dorman headlight clips.

7). I made some measurements for the planned trailer hitch plug and D ring tow hitch.

elkniks · 07-24-2015, 02:44 AM

You know when you are looking at the front of the engine and the fuel pump is just to your left? There are two 3/8" holes right above each other. The lower one goes nowhere, just to a big hole coming up from the bottom of the engine. But the one above that should have a short bolt in it, remove it use a longer bolt and lightly tighten it while holding the pump rod up. The longer bolt will stop against the fuel pump rod and hold it in place.

This is in response to the fuel pump question I saw above. Sorry, I'm still learning how to use this forum thing.
