    This is a coolant leak right?

    And what does something like this cost….also how do I tell if u even have an original radiator? How do u measure what you have installed. Mine is the 3-row version inside

    This is a coolant leak right?

    Okay thanks for confirming. Oh I would plan to swap it all myself…what is the radiator shop going to do, fix this one? Where do u find a good quality radiator that isn’t aluminum?

    This is a coolant leak right?

    I just want to verify this is the radiator leaking coolant. I drained coolant and ran a system cleaner. Drained again. Replaced both hoses, radiator cap, and thermostat (195F). Refilled with fresh coolant and ran until no more bubbles, about 30 min. Took a quick 5 min trip and popped the hood...

    Thanks for confirming my suspicion everyone, seems pretty straightforward. It will be nice to have one less noise!

    What is this noise/chirp…speedometer cable?

    There is a chirping or squeaking sound coming from the inside of cab near instrument cluster. Sounds like it corresponds to something rotating, gets faster as wheels turn faster. I think it must be the speedometer cable…anyone experienced something similar? Here’s a link to the video for sound:

    Identify which rear drum brakes

    Thank you so helpful! Sounds like it’s worth it to just keep the drums. Any special tools I’ll need to remove everything, as well as the hub from the drum? Do you know which parking brake cable length fits our trucks, I haven’t measured that yet but would think it would be best to do that at the...

    Identify which rear drum brakes

    Is this what you mean? I really didn’t want to pull the drum and all that just to have to put it all back together while I order the parts. This looks to me to say max 13”. Does this other stamp on the drum mean anything? Appears to say H219. Should I just order 2 sets of different size shoes...

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    I guess I don’t understand the point of all that, if you want a modern truck why not just buy a new/newer one? I guess it depends on your goals and what you want to use it for. I like the idea or preserving something in time but that’s probably an unpopular mentality.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Has anyone ever done a propane swap? A coworker mentioned they had done that before. Does that improve efficiency at all…also I know nothing about anything to do with this stuff, so if this is a stupid question please don’t berate me lol.

    AC troubleshooting

    These are the stickers on the air filter housing. Looks to be the heavy duty so not cat and egr. Also my vin indicates my truck was from Fremont, Ca (the Z) TCM24AZ500267 Does appear to have the charcoal canister. That’s what this is right? Do I just keep all this emissions related stuff? So...
