580super M is a bullet proof machine. From the looks I bet this machine is very low hour and did a lot of sitting hence all the leaks.

@TheLifeofaMan 24 күн бұрын

It has a few quirks but overall I am super happy with it. Lots of power. Very few things it can't lift with it. It has 7700 hrs. Rear main leak and pump leak but other than that really solid

@ surprised it has that many hours. Looks in good shape for the age. They are great machines. Spent many years on 580s with 4stick footswing, I’d be lost trying to run that 2 stick setup, lol

Does the retaining ring for the stubby driver side output shaft go on the shaft or in the carrier? The one on my differential was missing and the shaft just fell out.

I can not remember to be honest. You can probably find a blown up diagram online somewhere that will answer that question.

I had the same problem, traced it to one of the 4 relay pins on the fuel relay not making TIGHT contact into a worn out receiving pin. I took a used relay to a bench grinder and reduce some thickness then cut off approximately 1-2 mm that leg. Placed that new thinner piece down into the receiving pin to use as a "filler" to make a 100% tight fit, reassembled the unit and pushed in the fuel relay and could feel a little extra effort was needed to make a snug fitting contact. Another option is to take the smallest SPADE connector (already thin enough ) and grind down the width to fit into the receiving pin, this is the better option.....I did this 5 years ago, came across this video, thought I'd share my solution to the community.

Hey bud do you know if the stub axle on the driver side uses a retaining clip?

@@WTFMIKE thanks for replying. I took my stub axle out and there was no retaining clip on it and I thought that it got stuck inside there. It must just stay in there then. I had a problem where I replaced the seal and bearing and put it back together and the stub axle never went all the way back in was all floppy. I guess I never hit it in far enough for that retaining ring inside to clip into the groove.

Sometimes the sensor itself is bad on the driver side in which case this will not help. It only works to bypass the passenger side sensor.

@russtodd1439 11 ай бұрын

when you deleted the internal tank lines.... did you do anything to the driver side module where the internal tank line plugs into the top part ? I believe it is where the fuel pump feeds a little bit of fuel to the passenger tank to run the siphon .

@TheLifeofaMan 8 ай бұрын

I used the Lingenfelter block offs for the regulators. That was the only mod in the tank for the early fuel system. IN the end I ripped it all out and did a completely customer fuel system. The factory system is so stupid on these cars.

Suppose it's sensor A that is causing the issue. Can you do this all in reverse? Basically, ignore sensor A and only use sensor B?? Thanks in advance

@TheLifeofaMan 8 ай бұрын

This only works if passenger side sensor is bad and driver side still works. In the reverse you are hosed. The PCM uses the driver side as the level with the passenger side as an indicator of what volume is in there, but you can combine the 2 table for the driver side and the PCM is none the wiser. It does not work the other way round.

You would not happen to live near Tampa, FL AND maybe want to do something like this to my C6 (fixing a fuel smell issue not upgrading the fuel pump) ?? Your video did give me hope that this can be done on a manual without dropping the transmission. Shops here are quoting upwards of 10 hours to mess with the drivers side tank AND insisting they HAVE to drop the tranny

So anyone have a theory why the bearings in these diffs are failing like that? I have been wrenching for decades and have never seen this except when was run dry. I am now looking for ideas what may be going on in the front of my Tahoe. Came across this type of failure in a few videos now. Makes no sense … unless the bearings used were really REALLY poor quality. Hoping that is not the problem with mine.

@TheLifeofaMan 8 ай бұрын

I personally think it is the shock from putting the vehicle in park/drive. There is tons of slope between all the drive axles and the trans so it shocks the front diff every time you shift. The rear gear are much beefyer and it doesn't seem to hurt them
