Question >>> tilt column tear down <<<

Try as I might, I have not yet found a TECH article showing complete dis-assembly and servicing of the tilt-column used in the 1991 to 1993 trucks.

I don't have fingers enough to count the excellent write-ups showing the earlier Saginaw columns, but nary a one for the later column.

I want to replace every bearing and anything else that needs it.

Thanks.

Even in a bone-stock truck, a FUEL-PRESSURE-GAUGE is the first gauge you should install.
Splice an in-line fuel-filter AHEAD of the lift-pump and carry a few spares.

I've found info on the newer columns, but not the older ones.

Thanks; I may have to get with you on a few of those pages.

I am just getting my little ducks in a row for when I get a chance to fly in on this.

I am a big fan of snail mail; it suits my low tech intellect.

I have one or two more stones to look under; if they also prove fruitless, I will get with you on the snail mail for sure.


Many thanks.
