    Getting ready for a lot of coolant work.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I removed a lot of interior stuff today. Ordered new sound liner, floor mat, instrument panel bezel and lens, new door and vent window weatherstrip, and new seat upholstery. I'll order the new dash pad soon. I'm glad I removed the existing mat and sound liner because there was a small rust spot...

    Flushed the heater core, engine, and radiator in preparation for a new water pump and hoses. I think I'll change out the thermostat while I'm doing it.

    Should I?

    Ok, this old guy has worked on a lot of cars and trucks in the last 50+ years but I have never seen one of these. When I pulled the air filter I saw this. It appears to have a granular material inside. Help me out. Does it need to be, or can it, be cleaned?

    Dug into the truck some more today. Started filling it with coolant and immediately saw a leak. Traced it down to the water pump. Ordered new pump, hoses, and v belts. I noticed the power steering reservoir leaning to the left and I'm thinking someone put in a belt that's shorter than the oem. I...

    The dual exhaust kit from LMC which contains standard mufflers. I'm not into loud vehicles.

    The previous owner had the drip rails and screws so they'll be going back on.

    Picked it up and drove it home (1 block lol). Ordered new rad cap (has the wrong one), TC output shaft seal, inner and outer weatherstrip kit for the windows, new door striker bolts, new turn signal and tail light lens, and an exhaust pipe/muffler kit. Checked the coolant level and there was...

    Done deal! I wanted it bad enough that I gave him $2500. Time to order an exhaust kit and get it back to normal. The white side view mirrors are going too. Have to be chrome.

    He still has all the trim, which I'll reinstall, if I end up with it.

    Should I?

    It's definitely a DYI paint job. Someone has removed some of the smog system (I think). The tires need to go. But for $2500 there's plenty of money left for improvements. If he sells it then I saved $2500+. If he doesn't then I get a truck for less than what most people will pay around the...

    Update #2: I went by the house and talked to him. Asked him if I could check out the rig. Someone in the past has removed the muffler and directed the exhaust pipes to their present position. He started it up and talk about LOUD! The engine ran smooth and sounded good though. I didn't drive it...

    Update: Texted him an offer. I should just walk to his house since he's 2 blocks away. LOL

    He says he's selling it because he bought a newer, fully loaded, truck. He did say that there's a high pitched whine when it hits 40-50 mph.

    The man selling it is a golf buddy and the assistant Pastor of our church. Drove by and took a picture. I would rework the exhaust pipes first if I buy it.

    I saw a '85 3/4 ton 4wd today that has damage to the passenger side door (nothing severe). It has a 350 c.i. and comes with a bed cover. Don't know the mileage but the owner is asking $2500. I'm thinking about offering him $2000 cash. Should I?

    Air conditioning

    What is the brand name and part number of the new compressor? 3.2 lbs of R134a? That is a lot of freon. Is there a sticker in the engine compartment that confirms that?

    Let's back up the boat here for a minute. You say the high side runs 350 psig before shutting the compressor off. What was the low side pressure?
