Looking for a good replacment for the in tank fuel pump for a 94 2500 12 valve fuel system. Old one says Carter, but Summit images don't look similar. Any help on a good quality replacement brand and model number?

Put the new wiper motor in this weekend, complete with twisty mounting bracket.

Dash mods for the Dakota Digitals.

Rad core bracing fab'd and installed.

Well technically 1 inch, but plenty of space. I worry more about the top rad hose and the oil fill tube bracket...might have to do something there.

No...inches away

Cooling system plumbing worked out.

Summit....you get what you get.,..Dorman parts

So I'm spending a small fortune at Summit right now to get the parts I need for the cooling system rebuild, and started to poke at the brake system as well. On the MC is there any preference performance/use/life wise on an alumium body vs. cast iron?

well fall is upon me....I will start up serious work again on the truck here this next week! Meanwhile a cool wooden model made of my resto by HomeSkoold Customs!

I got a dollar!

fixed your route plan for you

swing thru MN on the way! Good news is I have a deadline with my painter. I am vehicle #4...so I have about 2 years to get it to him. So in 3 I should be on the road.

I plan on doing a drive to visit some friends on the left coast when he's finished.

old jeans make good spark protectors for delicate things like air bags!

spent the weekend working on the truck...baby steps!

Pressure tested the rad over the weekend, good to go! Now if I just had time to work on the truck again!

Like I said doesn't LOOK so, but a quick pressure test will confirm. Summit has already contacted me after the negative review I left...they can replace or refund...LOL...I already waited 6 months...I don't have 6 more for a likley same result. This was the ONLY vendor for a full AL rad...I can't have plastic tanks...I need to weld to 'em.

fter an order was placed in November....look what finally showed up! 4 days in shipping did this with (per UPS) 4 hand offs...one would THINK that they might be more careful.....nah lets toss it around a bt more....monkeys...also for almost $800 you'd think a better packaging system could be used.... Visiual inspection showed some fins tweaked and a small straight blade was used to re-align as best I could. I plan a quick pressure test to assure not damaged.

got the SC linked to the steering box last night.

SC mountings all done!

thanks...spring is here tho and soon I will shift back to wood working to pay for this build...

week's end work and weekend work: Finished passenger side door handle/bear claw actuation system Built and installed brackets to hold power lock actuators Modified the locking bear claw bits to lengthen them to pass behind the window track Modified brake pedal to allow for teh SC to live where it was Built and installed SC dash bracket/installed SC

Weekend's work: Modify the door linkage to use the inside handle where I want it and keep the sliding parts where they need to stay w/o hanging up. Also the bearclaw connector addition. 7766.mp4
