On the ones I used in the video you don’t need any sealant.

Bedankt man!

Sure, the part/model number is 1628, I got them on Amazon. There is also a link to the Amazon listing in the video description. Good luck!

Not yet, but it’s probably a bad ground or the sending unit gone bad. I plan on replacing them both when the tank goes back in, so fingers crossed, lol. Thanks for watching!

@@WrenchAtHome Agreed. There are some great videos on here that explain how to bench test the sending unit and also the gauge in the dash. I was hoping for a simple bad ground connection to the frame, but alas, cleaned it up and no fix.

Yes, although I don’t think it matters that much because they’re pretty symmetrical.

Sounds like an awesome machine, good luck!

No silicone application needed, just slap them on. These gaskets already have a molded silicone layer installed from factory.

Lol, thanks man! (For me it’s a serious upgrade compared to a hand ratchet)

Thank you, good luck!

I think the only thing a bike shop will do extra, especially for new bikes, is checking the tension (and adjust where necessary) of the spokes in your wheels. Other than that, I’d consider this a full service, yeah!

​@@WrenchAtHomeThat's great to hear! Did you also do (kleppen regelen)? To your bike?

No, I didn’t do that, didn’t feel like that was necessary.

Hi, replacing the alternator plug did fix the issue for me. Voltage is around 13/14, but only with the engine running.

Thanks! Honestly, those door panels are the (presumably) original ones, re-wrapped with fake leather. Look good from a distance, but when you see them up close they are really rough. I will replace them some time in the future, probably order some from LMCtruck.com!

If I recall correctly there's an inner and outer fender. The outer is the coloured part , the inner a black plastic piece.

@@doktermobiel Thanks, I will look into it.😀

Happy it helped you, thanks for watching!

I’d say the red wire is slightly thicker, but the difference ain’t much.. that is going off the Amazon product image (link in video description). If you really want to know I can measure them for you.

@@WrenchAtHome well did it fix your charging issue? What was happening to it?

Yes, replacing the plug fixed my problem!

@@WrenchAtHome so on my Malibu the red wire is thicker than the black one, my question is, on the new plug do the wires have to be the same gauge on the harness or not?

Same gauge would be best, yes. If the wires on the plug are thicker then that’s okay too, as long as they are not thinner than the wires in your car you’re good. The plug I used is an official replacement part so as long as your wiring in the car is stock the part should work just fine!

Thanks Symen!

Looking forward to your next video about restoring the fuel tank!

thank, you.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Love the 57 Bel Air!

I don't know where you are from, but I've seen a lot of peope using PEX tube as a replacement for the plastic bushing, you could get that at Home Depot. The sizing would be a 3/4" long piece of 1/2" diameter. Thanks for watching!

@@WrenchAtHome Hi, I'm from Czech Republic. Europe. I have a C10 Cheyenne. I will look for the tube in our hobby shops. Thank you for the advice. -)

Nice! Alright, so that must be metric system, 1/2" is 12,7 millimeters diameter. I think PVC tube will work as well. Good luck!

Thanks man! I got them off eBay, but they don't come up that often. I used the Saved Searches feature which notifies you by email if a new item that matches your search criteria is posted. Try something like "nos bumper guards ford f150" and then check if the results match the year of your truck. Sometimes they fit a range of years. Good luck with the search and thank you for watching!

@@WrenchAtHome yeah they look nice on your truck. I been looking for a while, I found a used set in decent shape. I'll try to polish them up, if that don't work I'll have them re chromed, there in the mail now. Thank you for getting back to me

Thank you! Yes, finding a good pair (for a good price) can be a pain, but it is definitely possible!

That is a great tip, thanks!

My rust holes are my vents:\

Thanks, that means a lot! Thank you for watching!

I just used a pipe wrench cause I stripped mine

@@jae.boucher1296 Yep, that's what I wound up doing eventually. Took that sucker off like it was rocket-driven, Man!

Actually looks like a standard Allen wrench would fit

You’re very welcome, good luck with replacing yours!

@@WrenchAtHome I was considering selling after I do a bit of touch up work to it but everytime I drive it I reconsider, I absolutely love having no computers telling the vehicle what to do or not. Plus I was born in 75 and always have had older vehicles, I'm torn on what to do lol

Yeah I get what you mean, driving an older truck definitely has it's charms! I would only sell mine if I desperately needed the money, but that's me lol

@@WrenchAtHome that's what happens, I see all the work I'd need to do to get it where I would like it to be. After that I think if selling it to a good home to someone that would appreciate it. Then I take it for a ride and love it's old school feel I get torn. Nothing beats the 350ci 4bbl with true dual exhaust and no catalytic converters lol

How the gaskets so far?

Hey man, that should not be happening, these are high quality and pretty expensive gaskets. Did you try tightening them a little bit more on the leaky side? Because of the thick rubber layer on these type of gaskets they can be tightened pretty good. I see you used new covers and I assume they aren't bent or warped. Did you clean the surface on the engine side and removed any leftover silicone before installing? You could try to add some sealant to get rid of the leak, but that shouldn't be necessary with these gaskets.. There is of course a very small change the gasket itself is leaking, in that case you could try to get a replacement at the store you bought these. Good luck and let me know if and how you fixed it!
