Well the ABV doesn't provide a noticeable whoosh of air out of the bottom when vacuum is applied. If it's truly not working that would be consistent with the truck's behavior with the PO because it's the same ABV. I think I have a spare to try
Did they connect to the tranny way back when? Maybe the little gear in your transmission has gone bad. Just a thought.Can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years since some of this work was done. But I guess I have a 2 year old now so that's part of the reason why.
Anyway, as mentioned in my Turn Signal thread, found out the cause of that not working (again). I had mentioned at the beginning of this thread that I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Still have some "yay wiring!" stuff to do, which I may or may not get to anytime soon.
Last night I (re?)installed a heat shield that mounts under the rear bed. Upon removal by some PO, 4 of the 7 bolts holding it to the tub had broken off. I drilled out 2 of the more important ones so now it's holding with 5 of 7. Good enough for now, since I hate drilling bolts. Hard as I try, I cannot get them drilled perfectly centered and straight. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. But I will try to crawl back under at some point and drill out the remaining 2.
Question - does the wiring go above or below this heat shield? I couldn't really tell, so for now it's hanging below. But if the stock muffler were there that would probably be no bueno.
I also tried tackling my non-operative odometer and semi-operative speedometer. Found that the plastic drive gear for the odometer was busted, and turning the odometer by hand revealed binding, so will have to pull that apart and fix, or buy a suitable replacement. Still haven't gotten to the bottom of my speedo issue; turning the speedo with a drill results in smooth needle operation. So I'm thinking the cable needs to be lubed or something.
On another note, after 19 years of ownership I finally have a jack holder. It’s still missing a bolt and the rubber pad, but it’s a small win that I will take. Still need to source the rubber band hold down for the tool bag.

100% I figure if I cover it later with indoor/outdoor carpet then I can sell it for a fortune.Hey Matt if you cover the wood box with carpet, you’ll no longer be “the guy” that makes stuff out of wood for his cruiser…just saying.
That cubby is about 7”x8”x19.5”…I dunno what the dimension of your box are but I wonder if a drywall mud pan might drop in the slot to contain the tire chain slush.
