I’m dumb I’ll order a Walbro one I tonight! Hotwire kit didn’t show up today anyway.

Where did you buy the Walbro from?

 

[Caman96]

The bottoms definitely different

You want it to look different. It’s a gear pump. More reliable…imo.

I bought it from summit using your exact link. I probably should have read the details and I might have, but reading is hard and comprehending what you read is harderer. I do agree a gear pump should be much more reliable. I guess I’d never had a fuel pump make such a loud whine as this dead one did but apparently it’s a common sign of imminent failure. Live and learn!

I did make good progress tho and have the pump ready to drop in besides the sock which should be here tomorrow. That’s fine because the Hotwire kits not here yet either. Paid a few extra bucks for 1 day fedex and it hasn’t even left Recetronix yet grrrrr. Iirc I always have this problem with them.

I did get the T case serviced tho, the fluid coming out was pretty gross. Almost no red left just burnt nastiness and a hint of grit in the fluid when rubbed between fingers to it might be on its way out. It might be the noise I’ve been hearing. Oh well I filled it back up and put the skid plate back on. I’m super impressed with what I’m assuming is factory thiqquh aluminum skid plates, they appear to have taken some hard hits but look great. The trans pan on the other hand has a nice fat dent in it. Kinda wish they had put skids on that and the fuel tank. Might make some down the road.

Do you have the front shield that’s aluminum or the plastic one?

There’s one under the front diff that’s aluminum. I can’t remember if there was a plastic one from like the core support to oil pan area, or maybe I’m just remembering that from something else.

They did make them aluminum as well.

Oh I like that! I might have to find one of those. Did they make one for trans or fuel tank?

Not factory, no.
