Grinding noise left rear wheel

Great. Thanks Joe. I appreciate it.

Also, where do you get all this information from?

Oh I have heard of Alldata a few times. Great, I might look into that.

So I got a set of snap rings today. Got the new if ignition coil and connector on as well. Everything seems to work fine but I was unable to test drive it tonight. Will let you know how it works out.

Also the slide hammer got here today Long with the new drive belt and tensioner pulley. Once I put them on along with the new wheel hub and bearings I will update you

The fuel pump works fine and great, but I noticed one thing tonight and this is what I was afraid of. The fuel gauge doesn't work now and I'm sure I know the problem. The lever arm (float or whatever it's called) is too long. I still have the old fuel pump at the house to compare it to. I was thinking of bending it to shorten it and get it closer to the shape of the original fuel pump. Is that a good idea? One of my friends told me if I do that the gauge might not be accurate. Let me know what you think. I might just leave it and ride it out like it is.

Lol I know right. Not very lucky so far.

I will try and see if I can get the float off of the original. Hopefully it will fit.

Thanks Joe.

Hey Joe,

I wanted to ask. What is a 'Cut Off Assembly's in reference to the fuel pump picture I showed you?

Thanks

Hey Joe,

I figured everything out. I got the wrong fuel pump it seems. The one I took off the car has two openings at the top while the other has one. I thought I could just disconnect the cut off assembly and run it like that but I was so wrong, lol. Lots of gas came out from the hose leading from the cut off assembly.

I took pictures to show you the difference on them.

Do you know where I can buy the correct fuel pump assembly? I have looked everywhere and cannot find it. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Joe.

Here are the pictures. The yellowish looking one is the old one and the white one is the new one.

Doesn't have two spouts like the original. Seems there's no way I can find that fuel pump assembly.

I switched the pump from the new fuel pump assembly I bought into my original fuel pump assembly.

I went to remove the wheel bearing and noticed it doesn't look the same as what was in the manual I have. I think this might have been converted from a 4-wheel drive to a two wheel drive.

So I totally give up. I'm done Joe, lol.

It came as an assembly. So hub and bearings already together.

The pictures are below.

No I have not tested the pump as yet.

Is the serpentine belt being too short a common thing? This has happened to me twice now. This can't be a coincidence.

Trying to put on the new belt and it seems to be too short.
Wanted to get it on to sell the car.

Ugh. Well the one I have on now should do then. I still don't see why the tensioner pulley is rattling. It's brand spankin' new.

Also, the fuel pump works.
