    O.T. GMC dash lights

    i should mentioned that outcome. there is an open electrical junction box on a rear frame crossmember near the bumper. there is a short section of wire harness just for the left rear taillight. i removed it & cleaned the contacts & coated the contacts with dialectic grease. that cured it for a...

    O.T. GMC dash lights

    worth checking. my left rear light was acting like a bad flasher or i needed a heavy duty flasher like in the old days when you'd hooked a trailer. flashing was rapid fire. i looked everywhere for the flasher. turns out that function is computer driven & the flasher clicking comes from the...

The main dash lights quick working at NIGHT! the gauge lights work but speedo & tach lights do not light up at night. during the day they...

    O.T. allen wrench breaker bar

    i did a search & there's nothing like the one that i had. might even still have it buried somewhere. what i did find were different version, usually in sets. this tool was really handy because it was compact & worked for different sizes. i have some 1/2" round stock. i'll just fabricate one...

    O.T. allen wrench breaker bar

    Back in the 70s I bought an allen wrench set at the long gone Webster Groves Auto Parts. The kit came with a breaker rod. it was polished steel, had 2 smaller holes in one end, & a single larger hole on the other end. worked great for breaking tight bolts. haven't seen one in years. anyone have...

    OT gas can flakes

    this can was used well before ethanol was even thought about. if there's any fuel residue it's lead.
