Shame it doesn't still have the ahc. It rides so much better than the spring and shock setup. I would only recommend removing if the lines were rusted out. Nice looking rig though.

So I took off the fuse box cover. It was missing the gasket/O-ring completely. Good thing I checked. I put in the McMaster-Carr gasket/O-Ring in today. It felt spot on, not too snug but not loose.

Here is the one that I had ordered from another members recommendation on here. When you go to set the gasket, DON'T stretch it. If you stretch it, it won't seal correctly. Just push it in without pulling it. Use a quarter to set it in directly down.

Also, click on the 10 under Length, ft. This will select 10ft. I choose 10 in case I messed up and I did. So give yourself enough length to try it out. I still have enough for 1 more replacement as well.

Awesome, thanks!
 
Pulled the tensioner and idler. Looks like both were on their last leg. Huge power steering leak as well.

Got the pump cleaned but I got some water and degrease in it. I'll put some power steering fluid through it before I put it back in to flush it out.
