i need help!
hey, i have a number of problems with the truck and im at a dead end, so here goes.
1) my fuel gage is messed up, it only goes up to about 3/8ths of a tank, i took out a sending unit, turned it upside and left it there for 2 hours and it still only 3/8ths, im also not shure how many ohms should be in the sending unit, other than that the sending unit looks fine but i need a new sock for it. Will i need to by a whole new sending unit or can i just get a new sock? the sock looks to be welded to the tube 2) i installed an alternator off of my brothers 88 truck and used a kit to wire it into the 83. but now the gage only goes up to 12 volts, but some times it will be on 8 and ill check it at the battery and it will show 12 volts with our volt-ohm meter, and also when ever i use the turn signal the gauge pulses to the turn signal 3) my driver side door window regulator is shot, i tryed to get the window out and couldn't so now its just stuck, also i can get a new door from a junk yard for $60 and thats alot cheeper than the 100plus that lmc wants for just a regulator, so which way would be the best? also im not shure if i want to get eletric windows on it, im shaving the door handles so i don't care about locks 4) the frame is straight as far as i can tell but the passinger front sits about 1/2 lower than the driver front 5) how much work is it to put on a shackle and hanger kit on an 83 longbo 6)should i jsut say screw it and by a new project truck for under 2 grand and put my drive train in it? thanks p.s. i finally got that thing running again!! the 88 700R4 i had in it fried the clutches and so i rebuilt a 92 one out of a Camero but i reused the TQ out of the one that i fired the clutches(the oil looked like aluminum spray paint) ![]()
