The backing plate you installed on the inside should be sufficient.

That would depend on how well you backed up the engine mount. Looks good from here though I believe you will have quite a long reach to raise and lower it...

Well I'll get back in the back seat.. I'm not beholden to my 2001 GMC, most of the electronic stuff has failed long ago and I'm just waiting for the lights to burn out..:)

What kind of paper work do you have for it. It could be a one off that someone put together?

Maybe take it out on the freeway and spool it up for a while, I'm thinking you have been running it a good bit below threshold and it may be fouled.

I've been in the back seat of this thread and you all have convinced me to keep my 2001 1500 as long as I can. I really don't need additional headaches...

The water pump impeller is a given, change it before you crank it up again and hopefully you don't destroy your motor..it gives you a baseline to work from...

Yes that's probably more likely. I've found the square profile has worked for years and wonder why someone would change it..

If it's what I think it is, a spin on with an O ring gasket maybe the engineer needs to go back to school...

coming along really nice. I am curious how you made out with the stem rabbet?

A lot of covering your butt in my opinion..

Yep,use the boat more often and the grooves will stay shiny...

Your diagnosis is true but because you reversed it the life of the impeller will be shorter..

That's true but here you won't have to sift though so much BS! :)

looks real good! ought to be a bit quicker now..! nice job on the lift as well..

Load test the battery, if it checks good then clean and tighten all terminals, if you still experience slow cranking it's possible the starter motor is dragging. They do fail and age is an issue..

You are a crafty young man! And your wife is an adventurous young lady! Good luck:)

You guys are right, it is just a trouble shooting procedure not a permanent fix. All it does is tell you that the tank isn't venting as designed.. I've not experienced an integrated system as op described..

I bought a carter last year and it's done a good job this summer and I think I may get a spare just in case.. Looks like you're in need of some new pulley belts as well... don't wait for it to break the engine will overheat quickly...

That's a good question, I don't know how it would react to pre mixed fuel. You sure don't want to filter the oil out...
