Re: Project: Shiro
Wow I wouldn't have guessed that there would have been that much rust!

Re: Project: Shiro
I might have a patch for you to fix the radio area. I can check the bone pile if you want.
Bummer on the usual rusted spots. Probably a lot more there than you can see on the surface. It's a pretty straight forward repair just gonna take some time. |

Re: Project: Shiro
Bummer on the rust! My truck has it in all those same places. Sounds like you've got a plan to tackle it.

Got a package from everyone's favorite vent window guru RogerKoop... The channel run and anti-rattle seals should be in from gmcpauls tomorrow afternoon. The windows are really difficult to roll up and down, but we should be able to church them up! :metal:

Re: Project: Shiro
Funny bro. When you get your Blazer you won't even remember my junk anymore lol.

Re: Project: Shiro
Questions for the day:
1. Anyone know if there are different tachometers for 6 and 8 cylinder trucks? 2. What is the capacity of the in-cab fuel tank? Been fiddling a bit just to try and stay interested until the PB stuff gets here. Worked on the dash lights and fuel gauge today. Got some of the lights working and now others that worked before no longer work AHH!!! Swapped the gas gauge for one I had stashed and it goes to empty when powered up, but I'm not sure I have enough gas in it to register, only 4 gallons or so, hence the question above. Hope you are all having a wonder day. ;) |
Re: Project: Shiro
The 6 is a different tach and a rare one at that from what I understand. And I think the tank is about 21 gal.
|
Re: Project: Shiro
There is definitely a 6-cyl specific tach.
They are stamped on the back. I own one that I bought off the board. They are alot higher priced than the V8 version,... because the V8 version is being reproduced. |
Re: Project: Shiro
The one in this truck has 8 cyl stamped on the back side, so the question is, is it reading accurately?
Good news... I was able to get the dash lights working! One thing I still have is the BRAKE light is on constantly, unless I unplug it from the proportioning valve. The brakes work fine, so what could cause it to be on? |

I'm guessing someone bled the brakes without the little tool that holds the proportioning valve piston in the center (with air upstream of the proportioning valve). This happens when someone replaces a master cylinder. You will need to re-center it to get the brake light to shut off. |
