  1. Is that like being hen pecked? Dave Ripley and me in Hickory, NC 11/4/2018 I'm the good-looking guy on the right.
  2. Is that you, second on the left?
  3. To check for a cracked pickup tube in the fuel basket fill the fuel tank; the bouncing needle will go away because the crack is covered with fuel.
  4. GASKET, BANJO BOLT - 12MM O-rings at fuel canister. The rubber seal in the O-ring may have gone bad. https://www.genosgarage.com/product/bf-3963983/fuel-system-seals-gaskets
  5. Stay with the stock to start with and check out the relief valve on the old pump to see what went wrong.
  6. You might have made a small burr on the housing when you drilled the valve causing it to stick/bind. Have you taken the case/reservoir off of the pump to try and access the valve. Below is a video on Saginaw pumps you may find useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TIXOCrYPNQ
  7. Do you still get fluid flow from any return line? The pressure relief valve (flow piston) may be stuck open; pull the pressure relief valve that you "hot rod pump mod" on and see if the valve is stuck open dumping the fluid into the reservoir and not building pressure.
  8. O'Rielly 150 amp circuit breaker. https://www.oreillyauto.com/search?q=150+amp+circuit+breaker
  9. You have a point. Thinking a little deeper, if the fuse blows the alternator might just be junk, shorted to ground, and they're not going anywhere anyway.
  10. For major co₂ reduction, population control, and protein production soylent green, in the end, is the answer
  11. This customer can push a reset button but can't turn a wrench there for a circuit breaker not a fuse if that's what you're referring too.
  12. I have used a 150-amp fuse on the last three W-T mods I have done and want to try a circuit breaker on the next one. So my question is which 150 amp circuit breaker did you use that is trouble free and where did you get it.
  13. It was about 50mi west of my house with a magnitude of 3.7 at just after 1am. Everything is fine, didn't even know it happened.
  14. I have never seen an isolator in the FSM, .
  15. I had a torque converter clutch go bad. I would have 4 gear but the trans temp would run very hot, 260°F.
  16. This tropical storm was not as bad as the winter rainstorms we get here. Total rain 0.43" Wind speed 22MPH. Hilary washed my driveway.
  17. Ohm meter to see if C2/11 is grounded when above 45MPH. Cut OR/BL wire, splice new wire on to end that goes to the PCM, run wire into the cab and attach it to one side of an ohm meter, ground the other led of the ohm meter. Now drife the truck and when the speed is 45+ the ohm reading should be close to zero. Yes. Leave the transmission control relay installed, splice a wire to the OE/BL wire, on/off switch, and ground wire. You may need to install a about a 1000 ohm resister between the switch and ground to get it to work.
  18. The power for the solenoid comes fro terminal 87 of the transmission control relay.
  19. The PCM grounds the torque converter lockup solenoid via the orange/black (OR/BK) wire when commanded. With the key on there should be battery voltage at the PCM connector C2 pin #11. If you ground the OR/BK wire the OD solenoid should be energized and torque converter lockup achieved. I don't see how the B+ terminal is involved with the torque converter lockup.
  20. OK, rain fall 0.06 and windspeed gust 3mph. This weather station is .2 miles from my house. https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ca/san-marcos/KCASANMA411
  21. Much ado about nothing here. Predicted 2"-3" of rain with wind 20-30mph. Advised: be storm ready, no unnecessary travel. Reality 0.02" of rain and wind gusts of 1mph. I'll be taking those 55gal drums of the 5er now.
  22. My house is 11mi east of Oceanside.
  23. Well, It's 9PM Saturday and not a drop of rain at my house just north of San Diego.
  24. How about a bike rack at the front of the truck. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/question-of-the-week/bike-solutions-for-truck-campers/
