Nice. Mine just sits where it landed without driveshaft shortened, which necessitates a pusher fan on the front of the radiator. It also makes the...
Ok, well, I feel supremely stupid. After bleeding the MC, bleeding the rest, bleeding the MC again, bleeding some more stuff... I got to thinking,...
Wow! Amazing fit. A while back, I bought a 74 with a 5VZ already in it, and I have some gripes with some of the p.o.’s efforts to shoehorn it in....
Original center caps!
Thanks! That’s been my line of thinking too. The pedal is solid in the absence of the vacuum, which suggests that maybe I have some air trapped...
Anyone have a photo of the RN20 valve? It would help me search.
Aha, I’ve searched several recyclers, and I found a listing for a proportion valve for a 78 truck locally. I wonder why it’s not mentioned in...
Is it possible that my remanufactured booster and master cylinder are defective?
Yes, bleeder at the top. Not such a dumb question. It’s a mistake I could possibly have made if I weren’t paying attention. I checked several...
This is the caliper I have. CENTRIC 14144010 and CENTRIC 14144009. It’s the same caliper that’s listed for the 79-83 trucks. Am I incorrect in...
I removed the prop valve until I get the compatibility figured out. Let me reiterate for the record: I’m using the 75-78 2wd single piston...
Oh, duh, they’re just the dash light sensor wires.
Dope indeed. Are the wires meant to work with some kind of control unit?
I’ve tweaked the adjustment some, and bled it some more. The shoes are adjusted closer than I’m comfortable with on the rear, and I’m running it...
Yeah, I’m used to being careful with brake fluid, just didn’t figure how much of a pain it would be to keep it off the caliper. Silly me.
Side note: painting the calipers was stupid. Any stray drip of brake fluid chews it right off. Good thing the caliper paint was free.
OK, here’s where I reveal the depth of my ignorance. I actually got a prop valve for this. I had it installed in the line to the rear drums...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] OK, let me preface this by saying that I am not a professional auto mechanic. For a living, I work on bicycles and...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] It’s just a simple EL12 flasher, but it does the job as a spare, since There’s not many of the original ones left. I suspect...
I’m not an expert on this, but I think the chinook trucks were built on the ‘dolphin’ platform, which is very similar to the original pickup but...
Separate names with a comma.
