I think he has a 2.5L?

there are 2 pieces of metal in the bottom of a factory tank: the fuel sump around the intake and the smaller brace for the bottom of the pump assembly. most aftermarket ones seem to do away with the pump brace.

how deep is the gas in the tank?

that must be nice in AZ!!!

heck yeah!

so they can bill an upcharge for allowing more gas in the same tank.

check compression first. maybe a leakdown too.

there might be a 3rd length out there. I screwed up and sent out the wrong visors for recovering (for the 88 I'm working on) and they are now too long. previously the truck had the cardboard style that the ends were a couple inches apart and now they practically touch and necessitated clips that are a one-piece mold instead of the previous 3 piece style.

I would address the issues one at a time before dropping change on an engine. a new block isn't going to fix an old radiator or sparkplugs or sensor that needs adjusting.

define "blew up"

what precise parts did you buy?

it ebbs and flows.

I list them in the vendors section when I do a run. been super busy lately so there's nothing available.

lots of the codes got reused. I've gone through the list and edited out the common ones for you.

no one cares. most think it's a toyota.

I just did a pump swap on a clean southern truck this past year. ended up replacing literally all of it: tank, pump, hoses, J-hooks, etc. If I ever have to drop another old tank for any reason, I'm just going all-in the first time. but I guess for a simple gasket change, I might try just the gasket? it's not fun working under there. I don't want to do it twice.

she moved to Japan years ago and kinda disappeared so I'm not sure if you'll get a response.

kinda looks like a mirror bracket off a CJ or something.

it's an old truck so everything is dependent on the previous owners and how well they cared for it. I just recently got done with a basket case of an MJ that suffered from horrible previousowneritus.

6 more posts and the classifieds will open up to you.

any change to the operating angle of the driveshaft ujoints can cause vibes. if they are old, I'd replace them too.
