Here are the requirements to turn the light on and set the code. A predetermined amount of engine run time(programmed into the engine calibration) and a corresponding amount of air flow has been used by the engine while running. At that predetermined time the engine coolant temperature must be at least 80°C (176°F). If these conditions have not been met together, then the light will come on and set the code. The engine coolant temperature sensor is a three wire connector with org/black, dk green, and a yellow wire so you will know you have the correct sensor. Also look at the intake temp sensor along with the mass air flow sensor. I think that you have an upstream problem and not a converter/ down stream problem. Did you change the thermostat first? If not, then I would change it now. Additional thought. What did you use to install the coolant sensor. If teflon tape, remove and use pipe sealant with teflon. It is a Loctite product that you can buy at auto parts stores.

JohnD1956, The pix with my son is the first time that he got to check out the truck. He is ready to get it running. Looking farther up in the thread you can see him in our 1915 truck. He is a great help on the trucks. I looked up the gear ratio and according to the book it is a 4.07:1 gear ratio.

Here is a picture of the 1918 Buick truck with my son Jeff. This will probably be his truck. He can drive a manual transmission vehicle as his regular driver is an Chevy S-10 4 cyl with a 5 speed manual trans. :-)

Do you have any pictures?

Here is a sale for two cars going up for auction this weekend Feb 19th. New Page 3 http://www.voaautoauction.org/pictures/90113.jpg http://www.voaautoauction.org/pictures/90114.jpg

Would love to see the pix. Can you send it to me

Thanks

Do you have a picture? Is it yellow. If so it might be from a cub cadet tractor.

Are there any records that might show McL/Buick built trucks in Oshawa during the teens? Does anyone know of any that might have survived? I am interested in the Buick truck population that has survived. Thanks

Interesting about shipping car bodies across town. In Flint, Buick bodies were shipped from the Fisher Body plant on S. Saginaw street to the Buick assembly plant on the north side of Flint from at least the 50's up when the plant closed in I think 1987.

I think I had a Bluebird bus on a Chevy chassis

Here is a great article on transmission fluid. http://www.lubegard.com/pdfs/shiftpointersbyWayne&Pat.pdf

Thanks for the compliments. The wife and I were having a great time. (along with the son) The pix was taken at the GM 100th anniversary celebration in Flint in '08.

The dates are probably the day that the part was made. Most auto parts are date coded in either normal date or julian date code for the day that they were made.

Looks like straight wall tires

You can try here for information. Some of this information goes back to the early 70's. Helm Incorporated: Choose Product Category

If the car is in Sweden, that would not make the vaule comparison easy to being in the US, Australia, Canada, or other locations. Pricing would be a challenge. Might suggest to advertise it in the area where the car is and see what kind of iterest you might get.

I guess I can add my(our) picture even though it is not a car as stated in the listing. This is with the bride (33 yrs) my son and a family friend.

It is usually not the older employees that are CAR PEOPLE that bring out some of the for mentioned vehicles. Think bean counters.

I agree, the bottle looks like it is for testing for alcohol in gasoline.

Here is a 1918 Buick truck at the GM Heritage Center in Detroit with both the top and side boards.

Can you post some pictures?

Bernie, Other than the 10deg F weather and colder things are well. Just trying to keep warm and dug out of the white stuff. Can not wait till spring/summer comes. Then I will get back to work on the trucks. Larry

WOW Bernie, What a find.
