    Rear Main Seal

    Thanks! I stuck to my guns yesterday and told him I wouldn't take any less than $3900. It's an extra vehicle for me but I told him I don't mind keeping it. He really wants it, so it's not going anywhere unless he comes up on the offer. There were couple of drops of oil under the truck, it's...

    Rear Main Seal

    So I got the truck up and running and it's doing fine. I had it listed on Craigslist here for $4900 obo, had some interesting trade offers, but one guy showed up with cash yesterday, and offered me $3500. I said I would not go any lower than $3900. He took it to Express Oil to get it looked, and...

    Thanks guys! I may go ahead and replace the starter just in case. I left it at the shop, but i'll be back there this weekend to drive it around a bit and see how it's running. I took it around the block and it sounded really strong, as it usually did. And the hesitation was only on the first...

    They battery cables are not in the best condition, i'll admit to that. I can see some exposed wiring and it's pretty gunked up.

    I thought it might have been the starter too, but after I replaced the battery it started every time with no hesitation.

    It's ALIVE!!!! Got the truck running!! I bought a new battery and it took a little convincing but the motor started turning over slowly, I put a quart of oil in it and El Superbeasto roared once again!!! Took some pretty cool pics while i was there too, check them out!

    Yea, i'm not real sure. I've been busy at work so i haven't had time to go mess with it. But the guy who looked at it has owned a bunch of these trucks and used to build them for racing, so I hope he knows what he's talking about.

    I had an old timer take a look at it, and he seems to think it's just the battery.

    No updates really yet. I had it towed to the shop and haven't really had time to go mess with it.

    I did, i tightened the battery cables and followed them and made sure the other end was tight as well. I haven't tried to move the pulley. It is an auto trans.

    I had it towed to my brothers shop and i only snapped this picture. I looked for a belt tangled up somewhere and didn't see anything. This was the only thing I could spot that didn't look right.

    Here's a quick picture, front left side of the engine where the belt is missing.

    Looks like its the ac belt that blew. Would that keep it from starting?

    Cometo think of it, it was cold outside so I turned the heater on, first time I had used it. As soon as I heard the screeching, I turned the heat and fan off, then it died. I also saw a pulley in the bottom left if you're facing the engine and another on the very front and it seemed Like there...

    Honestly guys i'm not that mechanically inclined, so turning it over with a bar or something, i have no idea how to do that. I need to check if the belt is there. I haven't had any problems with it until now. It's sitting about 2 miles from me so ill have to go back tomorrow since it's already dark.

    There's oil. It doesn't crank or turn over at all, just the initial jolt when i turn the key, but that's it.

    I was stopped at a light, and i heard a screeching like a loose belt, it shook a little, then died.

    I tried to jump it off, and the voltage meter was up to the midway point, the cables are crap. Starter sounds accurate. How do you jump the starter?

    Stranded!!

    I was driving my truck (87 Silverado R-10) to meet a prospective buyer and it died on me in the middle of the road. The fuel gauge was low, so a very nice lady picked me up and took me to the gas station and brought me back. I got back and put gas in the truck and it still won't crank. It jolts...
