    96 chevy 5.0L k1500 4x4 w/8 inch lift

    Don’t give up. One problem at a time. Follow the advice from Doug in the above post. Having to hammer in the filler tube isn’t uncommon but can easily damage the new seal of no one is guiding it from below. Use a rubber mallet not a steel hammer so you don’t damage the filler tube. When...

    96 lifted k1500

    Welcome. We need more info because afaik the abs can not trigger the brakes to lock up. If you unplug the sensor the abs won’t work but normal braking will. Things that cause a single wheel lock up usually involves contaminated brake pads, damaged shoe linkage like springs or pin, Contaminant...

    1975 Ford 3550 backhoe cav4 issues

    Post a bunch of pics or a video. I think I remember the right design on that pump but not sure. Im going back into the 90’s here for this. I believe the kill switch is a fuel valve controlled by a cable. The return line I think feeds to a foreward injector and then they all daisy chain...

    Lighting a heavy throttle pedal

    Motorcycle shops buy cables on 250’ reels then make them to length. At least used to around here, I haven’t had one made in 10 years. Just carry in the old cable… A frayed cable will wreck the required force and more so can cause a suck pedal situation. Stuck at idle is never the reported...

    What is this brass fitting?

    It is stock on 96 and newer hummers. The labor time doing a normal pressure test on the van/hummer with the annoying intake manifold was so bad they attempted this. Idk they kept using them because by 1998 the protocol came out to not use it. They are on the wif line side which is pre filter...

    Are Carter lift pumps any good?

    That carter pump normally lasts half as long as the ep158. Normally puts out 8 psi for about 100 hours then falls quickly to 5psi. Maintains that for a couple hundred hours then bypasses. If you already own it- run it because the money is spent. But get the gauge on their. Hopefully you...

    Are Carter lift pumps any good?

    Yeah, so long as you verify where you get it from is real, that’s what’s needed. It sounds familiar about the AC Delco store on amazon but iirc there was another store that was similar named and they were trying to shut it down a few years ago. So that’s why I say verify. A four minute phone...

    Are Carter lift pumps any good?

    If you have it- use it. But watch that pressure. LP making noise doesn’t equal working $260 is ridiculous but there is a lot of cko parts coming in ac delco boxes and stickers. Same for other parts. Bosch glow plug is what ruined my piston in my optimizer. Bosch said because it came from...

    '95 Engine build

    Yes they do. I remember back in the 80’s guys wanted them just for the sound.

    Vacuum pump oil extractor

    Imo get the $48 mightyvac from harbor freight. Often they have 10% or 15% off deals. https://www.harborfreight.com/mityvac-vacuum-pump-39522.html Then its a useful tool for other projects. Just dedicate a piece of hose for it that only is for the samples.

    Engine RPMs revving while driving

    Correct- the fuel looks perfect. Good that you don’t have algae in the fuel or other garbage. But sunlight makes them grow more not darkness. Yes the filter could be plugged but I really doubt it. You could open it up and inspect to see of the new one plugged up. Be sure you check the small...

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    He can’t make it longer. This is why he can’t use a ratchet on it. There is no place to run extensions through. This is a common issue in RVs & Pvans.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    Just buy that one and cut the end round piece into a square with a cut off wheel. Open end wrench on it and done.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    Snap-on s6128 Can’t believe I forgot the Mac tools number. The 6 points are always better than the 12 points. Problem with Snapon and otc is they are both a little too long to reach into a couple areas. You have to break it free, do 1 turn with socket. Remove socket do rest by hand. Can’t...
