    1987 R10 Radiator Leak

    1987 R10 oil pressure switch location/leaking

    Redfish, I think you have answered my question. It is near the oil filter and does have 1 wire attached to it. Mine is threaded into a tube looking part maybe 2-3 inches long.

    Dual fuel tank to single fuel tank pigtail wiring connection

    I currently have a 1987 R10 dual fuel tank truck. The drivers side fuel tank was disconnected prior to my ownership due to it rusting out. It’s my understanding the truck stopped running while the last owner was driving and he was told it’s the fuel pump. I checked the fuel pump by directly...
