My son has an aluminum tank that he got from one of the junk yards. I can ask him if he wants to get rid of it.

That would be helpful, just need to make sure Rot Box is available.

Thanks, that would be nice. I just need to get up your way.

Are the used Warns the ones you mentioned as Chevy ones ?

Thanks, I will need to take things a part and see what's there as far as spline counts and such. This old 85 had auto hubs back when my Dad owned it and he swapped them out.

My brother sent a picture of the SuperWinch front hub on his 85 K30 which lost the center plastic knob that engages the hub. He can't find replacement parts for the hub. Will a complete hub from an F350 Dana 60 fit into the Chevy Dana 60 axle ? I have some of the Ford ones but haven't pulled it...

Just went out and shoveled around 16" off the walks. Now I need to dig a path to the shed and bust out the snow blower.

Spent some time this morning "fixing the furnace". The furnace was running through the ignition cycle then once the burners kicked on and the fan started it would instantly shut down and start the cycle all over again. It was doing this non stop. I cleaned the flame sensor which didn't help then...

I saw a good ad the other day but didn't get a link. Someone was selling a parts vehicle that was a "donner car". Not sure if it had a history of getting stuck in the snow or appetite issues.

My daughters Jeep has had the infamous P0441 for several years now and this year they wouldn't let it slide for the emissions test. Could have had something to do with my erasing the code too soon before the test. This code can be any number of things from a bad gas cap seal, leaky fittings, bad...

Glad you got it.

There is a red 97-01 XJ at the Salt Lake Pick n Pull. The rear hatch was there this morning. Its on row 10.

Starting your car puts a huge drain on the battery and the voltage drops, also the starter motor is an inductive load and when it shuts off you can get voltage spikes. The alternator also takes a bit to kick on and regulate properly. The electronics in most radios don't take much current so the...

I got my son to help me do a good old fashioned brake bleed and found a bunch of air in the right rear wheel cylinder. After bleeding the two rear lines I started on the right front. Bleeding that one reset the proportioning valve. The last remaining issue is the bleeder on the left front...

Did some checking and found that the proportioning valve is needing a reset. There wasn't a dash light on but the emergency brake didn't turn the light on either. Busted out the ohm meter and the valve switch connector is grounded. The dash light must be burned out. I also decoded the VIN...

Thanks for the tips everyone, now I just need to dig in and see what I find.

I will have to look up the reset procedure. On some of the ones I have fixed I just had to release the line pressure on the circuit that wasn't opened up.

I looked up some of the master cylinders and calipers on Rock Auto for both years and the bore size for the master cylinder is different and the calipers come in different piston diameters. To further complicate this the 85 body was off of a 1/2 ton and the 78 was a 3/4 ton. That makes a...

Pumping it doesn't change the problem. The question on what parts they used is a good possibility. This old Suburban was one of my franken truck projects. The frame and running gear came from a 78 and the body is from an 85. I think I used the brake booster from the 78 to match the running gear...

Yes
