    12v in '99 Suburban

    Filling out the signature line with the rig details would greatly help here. Don’t just type them once in a post- who the signature line makes it pop up on one of your posts. That way is the discussion continues. Everyone can quickly glance at what you have to help with the diagnostics...

    ***NEED HELP/ADVICE***

    Gimme a break. The OP didn’t realize thats beyond the capabilities, warning them hurts nothing. If they couldn’t figure out overloading for the condition and capability of their trailer- they probably haven’t been doing this too long. In other words learning. I rather tell someone they...

    ***NEED HELP/ADVICE***

    built and rebuilt multiple trailers similar to yours. Get the load onto another trailer and get it on its way - ENSURING the trailer & truck are capable of the weight. Put your truck then trailer on the portable scales you own. Don’t own them - now you will. Seriously lucky no one died -...

    Engine RPMs revving while driving

    Yes. 1/8” npt plug would seal it but I wouldn’t put it in until you get the sending unit (usually in a kit with gauge). Getting a gauge permanently mounted in the dash is key. You see the pressure and will notice when there is a drop in pressure. This indicates when to check things out...

    Eye connectors

    If you do that and it starts- just screw in the solenoid and it will die. If it doesn’t because the solenoid ever failed in the open position, just pick the clear return line shut and that will stop it.

    replaced lift pump and doing bleeding procedure...

    Idk the amsoil metal protector, marvel is a NO GO. It strips lubricants. Definitely don’t want that in your ip or injectors. Sea foam ok.

    replaced lift pump and doing bleeding procedure...

    Heater hose pliers VERY carefully can pop the final screen. Yes brake clean but I rinse with a lil clean diesel afterwards all out the drain. Don’t want that cleaner in the ip.

    1969 IH 1300D 4X4 - Pump Truck

    Some of that show is BS, but the painting skills are 100% on point

    replaced lift pump and doing bleeding procedure...

    Its new - but possibly new defective. Reading the permanent mounted pressure gauge eliminates that issue of not knowing and killing the battery.

    replaced lift pump and doing bleeding procedure...

    A bunch if using the key. But never again leave fuel in the ffm when replacing the filter or removing for inspection. Always begin by draining it 100%. The dirty unfiltered fuel gets past the filter. Doing it once can wile the pump. Drain it now. Lift the filter and reseat it, and begin...

    1969 IH 1300D 4X4 - Pump Truck

    My 2c (pre bi-dum economics worth) Take some of that see through paper, tape it on and trace it out. Take a couple measurements and set aside. Polish right over it. If it’s under the clear it should improve just like the red. If it isn’t it will mostly come off, not all. The tracing...

    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...
