Spent all day Sunday working on my truck

Post by DaMaN »

I did a bed swap on my pickup because in over a year search I could not find a replacement for the dented quarterpanel easily or inexpensively. I am going to have to get a paint job becuase of it, but I planned on getting one anyways. While I had the bed off I did the rear shocks (Bilstein), the hop shock (Bilstein), and the whole fuel pump assembly since mine was whining like a pig. I never knew that AC Delco fuel pumps cost so much ($250.00!). But apparently, these GM S10 based trucks are finicky and like AC Delco Parts only since they are the OEM manufacturer. It was sweltering out there and I am tired and sore but I am proud that I got all that that stuff done. YouTube, a decent set of tools and forums such as this are such a great resource for backyard mechanics.
