    Possible engine problems!!!

    the rad is visibly leaking. the plastic tank on the drivers side is coated with the brown residue from the stop leak laced coolant. I haven't checked for coolant in the tranny. I'm assuming I would see signs of that on the dipstick. I don't believe there is oil in the coolant. Ive heard oil...

    Possible engine problems!!!

    Thank ya sir. I did read that thread. It was very informative. I'm in denial with the cracked head part. I truly think that is the culprit, but I'm praying its something much simpler and less expensive to fix. I'm seriously considering finding a motor and rebuilding it, then doing a swap. I...

    Possible engine problems!!!

    Body mounts are shot!!!

I'm thinking of doing poly bushings and a 1" body lift from ORD. does anyone have pics of what a mount should look like. I...

    Highliner headliner/CB Radio and Antenna

    We should fire this old thread back up again. I have a connex 4600t I'm going to mount. I don't know what antenna I want, but I hear the long whips are the best. I'm going to roof mount the antenna, but I'm not sure about the radio.
