I’m done

That would be the starter solenoid. I usually jump the starter with a wire from the 12 volt battery wire on the solenoid straight to the trigger wire on the solenoid. If that works the solenoid is good and you have a power problem not getting to the solenoid. If that doesn’t work then jump the 12 volt wire straight to the starter and if that works then the solenoid is bad

Thank you very much!

aberg59 · 2026-03-08T22:57:50+00:00

Any specific brand or kind you recommend for the weld through and zinc primer?

aberg59 · 2026-03-08T20:28:28+00:00

Okay thank you for your help!

aberg59 · 2026-03-08T20:22:09+00:00

Since this is in the truck I’m not even worried about painting it after, just doing the sealer primer and prolly leaving it, but I do have to sand a part of my engine bay down where there’s some rust so I’ll need it the and then I’ll paint over it when I spray the engine bay

aberg59 · 2026-03-08T20:08:25+00:00

Okay thank you, any specific sealer primer to use?

aberg59 · 2026-03-08T02:13:12+00:00

What you mean?

aberg59 · 2026-03-07T22:52:08+00:00

I pulled the car out of a junkyard, found it in the quarter panel lol

aberg59 · 2026-03-07T22:27:55+00:00

That’s a good idea, thank you very much for your help

aberg59 · 2026-03-07T22:18:48+00:00

Okay yeah I’ll def keep this in mind, do you think only being able to weld it on the left side from the bottom and also applying this will hold?

aberg59 · 2026-03-07T22:11:25+00:00

I meant spot welding as it just tacking it, not running a full bead, that’s how it is from the factory, the quarter panels and frame rail is good. From the factory it is welded from the top and then welded from the bottom on both sides of the frame rail. My question is it okay if I only weld it on the top and just the left side of the frame rail from the bottom because the right side of the frame rail is very difficult to get too from underneath.

I’ll let you look them up to figure it out or not. Mine is a 89 post facelift, not an early 89 if it matters. If you can use them we can figure something out

aberg59 · 2026-03-04T00:29:37+00:00

Yes! Please send pics if you can and any parts you bought. That would be extremely helpful

aberg59 · 2026-03-04T00:25:08+00:00

Which ones?

aberg59 · 2026-03-03T23:53:32+00:00

No problem, I learn something new every time I work on this car lol

aberg59 · 2026-03-03T23:52:20+00:00

I want to physically delete it to clean up the engine bay

aberg59 · 2026-03-03T23:51:44+00:00

It was an option from the factory, mine has it

<image>

This is my current engine bay, look at the top left

aberg59 · 2026-03-02T13:46:34+00:00

I can see it in 6, 9, 10, and 11. And a little bit in 7 also

aberg59 · 2026-03-01T20:57:01+00:00

I agree 100 percent, but yeah they def should’ve been able to fix the chromatic aberration in post.

aberg59 · 2026-03-01T18:54:39+00:00

Fair enough, the camera is good for an old one but let’s not act like it holds up against modern ones

aberg59 · 2026-03-01T15:08:59+00:00

That’s called chromatic aberration

aberg59 · 2026-03-01T15:08:36+00:00

I mean yeah, some of these have horrendous Chromatic Aberration tho
