One piece oil pan gasket
You know this economy is funny. I have over 30 years experience in the IT/Software area and companies want certificates that someone can get in 6 months. All I know is that my "professors" have never actually worked in the real world based on their statements. I have to take the classes to get...- DesertBob

One piece oil pan gasket
My company laid off a bunch of staff and I start some IT classes. Both combined have kept me from my hobbies of Trucks and Bugs. Hopefully things will calm down soon.- DesertBob

One piece oil pan gasket
Do you use any kind of sealer with the one piece gaskets or do you go dry? And if you do what kind? I have a oil leak I would like to resolve once and for all.- DesertBob

Crack in Dash
I went the replacement Dash route. Got mine from Brothers. Took me a whole day to do the job but I cleaned stuff up, tied off loose wires and replaced all my bulbs at the same time. Before: After: Looking new again: -

engine bogs and dies when givin gas
With the engine off do you see gas squirt into the carb when you open the linkage? If not your accelerator pump is bad and the carb needs to be rebuilt.- DesertBob

Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal
So if my truck is running hot at Highway speeds it must be a flow issue. Either the Radiator is plugged, the lower hose is collapsing, or the Radiator needs a new core. Am I on the right track here?- DesertBob

Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal
For grins I went out and tested my fan clutch again. Haven't driven in 2 days and it spins the same as it did when it was hot. Thinking my Fan Clutch might be the next thing I replace. On the O'Reilly site they had Heavy Duty and Severe Duty clutch fans - both were from Hayden. I wonder what...- DesertBob

Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal
No I do not. But then again I have not been listening for it either. I did the friction test. When It was hot I tried to spin it and it only moved about 3 inches. As I understand if the fan clutch was bad it would spin freely when hot. Is this incorrect?- DesertBob
