This may come across as a request right out of left field (so to speak) but does anyone know if I can get a repair kit(crimp on wire connectors) to fix a couple of corroded pins on one of my ABS connector plugs,the large rectangular one?If not from GM how about another source?This is for a 99 Silverado.Thanks.

The individual terminals are available. Figuring out which terminal it is and a part number is another story. We have 25 trays, with each tray having 20 or so compartments, each with a different terminal. Even for us in service, finding the right terminal for a connector can be very difficult.

 

Some connectors are available as complete assemblies with all the terminals in place, each with about 12" of wire hanging out. The only problem with this is that all the wires are white, so you have to pay real close attention as you splice it into the harness.

The terminals as well as the plastic bodies, seals, connectors, etc., are actually made by Packard aka Power & Signal. We (as an electrical & electronics distributor) sell them but in bigger quantities. For just a few pins your best best would be the dealer or an auto parts store that may have them.

We use terminals made by a wide variety of manufacturers. Delphi, Yazaki, Sumitomo, Lear, etc.

Delphi is Packard, that is one of the lines we carry. I'll have to check out the others you mentioned to see how they compare. For regular terminals you can go to ETC (Molex) Amp, FTZ, T&B, etc..

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
