Broke the igntion actuator, AGAIN! This is like the 4th one in 2 years. Does anyone know of something better than the Dorkman/Help brand POSs? Was thinking of getting some steel keystock and fabricating my own version. At least the new one didn't cost me anything this time, it held out 10 months!

I broke one in my 89 once. That little sucker is kind of a pain in the butt to change.. I feel for you man.

This week I have changed the ICM, O2 sensor, and done the 3g upgrade. And installed my shell so the dogs can go camping with us. :-jammin

The truck got all new radiator hoses and belts and a new tensioner. I've been running straight water through the cooling system for the past week trying to flush all the crap out.

Did you try shoving a garden hose in to back-flush the system? Works really well, in my experiences.

ichabod40 07-07-2012 02:00 PM

Yeah, I've try do that every time I change the water out. It seems to help quite a bit.
