Well it took about 2 and 1/2 hours and it took my neighbor 2 mins to do what I still couldn’t by the end of 2 and 1/2 hours. And what was it you ask that was sooooo hard…. 1 bolt at the wrong angle. I hate that bolt.
Thank you, if all goes well I’ll be attempting the fuel pump switch tomorrow morning.
For the fun of knowledge, how would I change the position of the cam shaft? Also I’m guessing the high lobe is the top?
Also and I know this is alittle off topic but I watched a video of someone trying to diagnose a fuel pump problem and they talked about cycling the key to test for pressure. Question is how and what is cycling the key and what does it have to do with the fuel pump?
Yes that is the correct orientation.
So how do I tell if its sitting on top of it? Or is that the only way it will go in?How do I figure that out? Also my pump looks little different the rocker arm is straight.
Just wanted to post an update. I ended up taking it to my mechanic since it was over my skill level. The Salve cinder, clutch disc, and flywheel all needed replaced. Good news is now that the clutch is fixed they where able to hear the transmission and it still sounds good! I asked them what shape everything had been in and they said it was defiantly time, I guess making it last 30 years was great.
I get to go pick up my baby in the morning and start breaking in a new clutch.My manual says its Hydraulic and no adjustments are needed. I checked the fluid not to long ago but it might not hurt to check it again.
*Update, I checked the fluid and it is full, how often are you suppose to add some?
*Update 2, I have just come acrossed the information that you are suppose to bleed the clutch fluid (though it doesn’t say how often) seeing as how I never knew this information..-_- my father a mechanic never taught it to me. Could it be part of the problem. It has most likely been 15 + years.
I have recently had the transmission oil changed and no new leaks (I have a very tinny oil leak) under the truck. I have been told there might me a possibility that the clutch is giving out. Does this sound like it might fit?
