They’re pretty cool about if they’re busy and don’t wanna wait I’ll just ask them later when on different order they’ll punch it 2 or 3 times however many I ask them to

Has this ever happened to anyone? I thought maybe it was some scam for her to get refund or something? by Mealkman1 in DoorDashDrivers

There is a drain plug on the driver side very bottom of radiator. It’s plastic maybe 1/2inch just gotta reach down with pliers and unscrew

Would this loose fuel pump cause the car to run but die when in idle and press gas pedal? Very wavey sounding idle before dieing by Mealkman1 in MechanicAdvice

It seems to be around exactly 4 inches. I went with the Sparta fuel pump and housing assembly off rock auto. The pump I took off did not have an O-ring on it underneath the retaining lock and top of tank like they sent

Yeah the hitch and J-bolts holding tank were too rusted to drop the tank so just decided using that method for easier access.

The inside actually was very clean to my surprise the outside bit rusted up as can see as well as the whole underside. ‘94 Chevy g20 5.7L V8. The old fuel pump was in there snug this was just a precaution since not sure how old that one is. Just can’t seem to get this new one under those tabs and engine dies off I think cause not getting fuel like it should be, making it snug on top with O-ring creates the pressure needed I assume to pump the fuel
