Put the new switch in and bam! That was the problem. Thanks!

Ok…well I removed the cylinder and it doesn’t spring back on its own from start to on…it catches a little and I have to manually do it. Just not sure if this is normal and maybe the spring is in the switch. More digging I guess

The problem is that when I turn the truck to ‘start’ the key doesn’t spring back to on and the starter continues to fire until I manually move the key back to the ‘on’ position. Is this the key cylinder or would it be the ignition switch?

Just came across this post trying to trouble me shoot my glove box light….thank you sir from 18 years ago!

Thanks for the info…this answered my question! The PO must have not known he had 4.11 and put the adapter on…it has been. Reading 10pm faster for at least 40k miles 😭

Oh yeah…I’m pretty much have to shift out of 1st immediately. What is the benefit of 4.11 vs 3.7?

I don’t know…how would I calculate this. Get rear wheels off ground…one rotation to how many driveshaft spins equals what? I don’t remember the Po saying anything about gear ratio change but it doesn’t make sense that I’m reading 3 mph faster than I’m actually going with 33” tires

I’ve had this truck for about 10 years and the PO install the speedometer adapter. It wasn’t until just recently that I realized my speedometer is reading 10 mph faster than I’m actually driving. I removed the adapter and now speedometer is only reading three or 4 mph over what I’m actually...

That makes no sense.,, of course you would replace the pump …seal =gasket in assuming. Just seems like a lot of stuff in the way to get to the pump

How much of a pain is this job?

Thanks…i didn’t even think about using a mirror! I was trying to get my camera in there with no luck. Fun…another project on my old truck :)

So…I spoke too soon. The leak is still there. Seems to be coming from at or below water pump. Any other ideas?

This was the culprit. “Hose from hell” is no joke. I was able to get to it with a socket on a swivel/extension…easy fix until that thing needs to be replaced !

Ok dang…I’m not familiar with this hose but it sounds like a good candidate. Thanks for the picture too! Very helpful!

I put a bucket under leak and it’s pure coolant. I guess it looked like clean/new oil after it dried up some on the floor. Welp, the leak is not obvious …a few years ago I had a freeze plug issue that caused a huge leak. Maybe that’s it again. More investigation needed
