    UMI adjustable transmission crossmember

    Their website finally came back up so I could see this thing. Definitely a funky looking piece.

    UMI adjustable transmission crossmember

    Clearly adding rigidity to the frame is why GForce builds their unit so strong. And the reason I have them in 2 of my cars.

    Fusible link

    I'd use 40A fuses for the 2 wires into the bulkhead connector. Feed that fuse holder off the battery, not down to the starter. And mount that holder as close to the battery as you practically can.

    I didn't unpin them. I cut them off near the firewall bulkhead connector and connected my new 10ga wires to the short lengths of the 12ga.

    Fusible link

    A bad starter or solenoid will NOT be cause of burning out the fusible links. Since a short is likely you should use 40A fuses instead of replacement fusible links until you find the problem. Otherwise you could be having to replace those fusible links multiple times.

    Also since an intermittent short is likely, DO NOT bypass the burned out fusible links. If you need those wires hooked up to help find the short, use 40 amp fuses in place of those fusible links. Otherwise you may cause a fire or at least burn up a bunch of wires in your harness.

    Fusible link

    You almost certainly have an intermittent short on one of the main 12ga wires coming from the starter. Either on the engine side of the firewall or near the fuse panel on the inside. First thing I would do is trace every inch of the two wires that connect to those fusible links. This could...

    Sure. Slot A - empty Slot B - 30A breaker for Headlight power at relays. I had to modify this fuse slot a little to get this breaker to fit in. Slot C - 10A fuse for firing the dual radiator fan relays. I'm using 3 relays for a 2- speed setup and controlling with a Dakota Digital...

    Colorado emissions testing questions

    Thank you for your kind words. We do feel blessed that everything went our way with both the condo sale and finding this house. It's also a relief being close to our son and his wife. He has some health issues and is going to need a kidney transplant soon.

    It was. My wife was a bit reluctant and emotional about selling it. We had a lot of good times there and she made a bunch of friends there too.

    That cracked me up! Had to show my wife this and the subsequent remarks. We've had been looking to move to the front range area of Colorado for quite a while. Well more than a year. However, we weren't in a financial position to do so until we got our condo in Boulder sold. That happened at...

    Update. We made the move and have been here at our new residence in Fort Collins, Colorado area one month now. We went to the DMV yesterday and got our vehicle title transfers and registrations done. No problems and no emissions inspections needed just like the map shows. Just put the new...

    Colorado emissions testing questions

    I once mentioned Lubbock to my wife and that was a definite no for her. I think the least hot places in Texas are Marfa, Fort Davis and Alpine. That area is much more dry and a lot cooler than San Angelo. They are are all close to each other. Of those we did think of choosing Alpine as a...

    LOL. Yup. Just like Bettina said in the movie, "A whole lot of nothing". My wife and I both worked our careers in Austin and moved to San Angelo when we retired. Cedar and molds both were bad there for both of us but worse on me. I thought San Angelo would be better with both but Cedar is...

    Colorado emissions testing questions

    Come next year, I will have owned this car for 30 years. It had 45K miles on it when I bought it and I've only put another 30K on it. I've never used it as a daily driver. So I guess it's always been a toy for me. But I use it for utility once in while. I put things in the bed of it but...

    The Tahoe area is really nice. I prefer the North Shore area. I like Carson City too. It's been a while since I've been there so I don't know if it's changed much. Here's a couple hits I got looking for average snowfall for areas in Colorado that might be helpful...

    It was you I was mostly thinking about when I asked the moderator to open this thread so I could post my update. That and because I was so happy about not having to fret about my El Camino which I'm so totally happy with after all he work I did on it back in 2017. And of course my wife and I...

    Yes, I do have an update that I want to share with you all here. We've been getting our ducks in a row this past year to be able to make the move from Texas to Colorado. We did a lot of driving around up there and searching what's for sale for a while as well. We also had decided it was...

    EL CAMINO Where do you guys put Dynamat on your doors? inside of panel? Inside of actual door? Some other place?

    Dynamat is for sound deadening and the foil can act as a radiant barrier against heat. It doesn't take much Dynamat to deaden a panel. Beyond that, there are better and lighter materials for sound insulation which it sounds like you are after.
