    Starter insulation bushing

    Was able to make all these measurements except the current draw. Everything measured out normal, but starter was still spinning slow. Then, nothing. Smacked it with a hammer and it would work. Got tired of that real quick and ordered a pg260 off RockAuto. Got the correct bolts from Napa this...

    Starter insulation bushing

    Got the gap filled in with rtv, no picture cause I forgot, and I got the starter reinstalled. And it cranks waaaaay slower than before. I'm going to check the connections tomorrow, ran out of time this evening. But anything else I should look at?

    Starter insulation bushing

    Good to keep in mind when this starter kicks the bucket. Smaller, lighter and higher power is always good. I like the rtv option. Keep it going on the cheap, upgrades when it makes sense.

    Starter insulation bushing

    I'll take a look there too. As long as it fits the hole in the casing I could enlarge the inside hole to a rectangle to fit the copper bar. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Starter insulation bushing

    I did try a piece of fuel hose. It fits well over the copper bar, but leaves a gap between it and the housing. Seems like a spot for dust and dirt to get in. I'll look for a local motor shop and see if they can get me one.

    Starter insulation bushing

    94 C1500 5.7 I'm replacing the starter solenoid and the rubber bushing that goes between the copper bars in the starter and the casing dry rotted in half. Does anyone know if there is a replacement for this? Or am I stuck replacing the entire starter? Seems like a shame tor replace the...

    Loose wire identification

    Yeah, probably temp sender wire. I assume the coolant temp gauge isn't working. That's what that temp sender is for Item 22 below

    Pineapple cat bicycle... In mm a-school an instructor wrote that on a test one of the other students had taken. When asked what it meant the instructor told him that he had added some random words to see if it would make the students answer make more sense... it didn't. Student failed out a...

    "Factory turbo setup for SBC"

    I've never seen one of these before, but looking at the pictures and seeing there is a filter that sits on top, it doesn't seem to be a blow through carb. The part between the carb and the intake manifold must be divided into two chambers. See the picture below. The only flow path that...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor 94 C1500 350TBI

    It did. Followed the diagnostic steps in the fsm to check it and its definitely the sensor.

    Coolant Temperature Sensor 94 C1500 350TBI

    That makes sense. I cleaned the stud and replaced the ground terminal ring on the t-stat housing when I replaced it and the t-stat when i also replaced the temp sensor. I'll get a new temp sensor to replace the gauge sensor this weekend. Will be nice to have a functioning temp gauge finally...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor 94 C1500 350TBI

    Have a question about the function for the coolant temperature sensor located in the intake manifold right by the thermostat housing. The temperature gauge hasn't worked since I bought the truck a couple years ago. Finally decide to fix it. I knew the gauge was functional, because it would...
