Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Top Tip: always try and buy as much OEM stuff as you can, ask for pig tails, ask for cables, as you wheel and deal, and the seller is firm on the price, say something like: "that sounds good, but will you throw in the cables?" and 86.54% of the time they might

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
those eagle eyed amongst you may notice the front two 7/16" studs are missing their acorn nuts, well, the struggle is real, take a look below at what my local ACE Hardware store carries (or should I say does NOT carry), they seriously jump from 3/8" to 1/2" you can't make this stuff up folks:

That is for each. Just remember they are stainless and they are sold in California.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
in keeping up with the current social media trends I now break my silence on the water pump installation

one or two of the many part numbers
PN: 6008047-00-E, 1035348-00-G

What will this pump cool?
  • the Lexus transmission (it has two electric motors inside of it)
  • the Lexus Inverter (think carburetor/distributor combo)
  • the Chevy Volt battery charger

FYI the Chevy Volt DC DC Converter (aka alternator) is air cooled and does not require the water pump action

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so I call this the Tesla Model S water pump but I think someone else makes it for them and the only thing that makes it Tesla is this neat rubber bracket
