Need a little help. I searched on here but could not find what size bolt to replace the screw with. Do I just reuse the tamper screw or what?

 

If you can, you may reuse it, if not, I'm sure TST will get you one.

 

im gonna try to reuse it, that all depends on how easy it comes off

 

I believe they are M6 x 1.0. When you get the bolts out, just take one to a Home Depot, Lowes, or local hardware store that sales individual bolts and match them up. I went with allen head bolts to make removal easier in the future.

 

Other than the Home Depot stores, thats exactly what I did.

 

I always throw them fast and far... every 12v I've ever owned or modified for other people only had three bolts holding the AFC housing on. Never one leak or other problem.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I did it today, the screw wasnt too bad to get out. Gary you were right, I just left it out and its not leaking, maybe ill put an allen screw in eventually

 

one truck I had had a stripped bolt hole, so I had to put one up under the injection lines... I used an allen screw and just kept a t-handle ball nose allen tool in the truck for accessing the pump.

all my other trucks, I leave the bolt out under the injection lines. makes pump tweaks that much quicker/easier

 

im gonna leave it for now because i broke the screw in half to get it out

 

lobes hows that lock up switch workin for you? i got the same setup and year truck you have except a plate mod and before i had the plate mod i had a lock up switch and sometimes with it off the tranny would lockup at any mph from 15-50 even after i totally took it off the truck it still did it for a while so im just trying to get some imput if it was the switch or what. bc i really liked the switch it was useful

 

well the tranny will goin to lockup it self at about 30mph with o/d off or 50 mph in o/d, with the switch i can lock it in 3rd and 4th gear when i want and it stays locked. I like the switch because the converter always seems to unlock at the worst time, like pulling a hill with a trailer which takes you out of the peak torque range

 

lol, you're not the first one

you'll never have a problem w/ just three bolts in there

 

so far so good, now i just gotta fix the slipping converter
