    New LED headlights, black or clear housings?

    If you are talking about darkened headlights, I tried the smoked lenses on my 1990 and replaced them after the first time night driving. Couldn't see sh**.

    1986 C10 No Lowbeams - Highbeams OK

    I am confused, Everything worked, then you pulled the switch? Why? Are you getting power at the low beam bulb? Unlikely but possible that both burnt out at the same time.

    Engine removal tool

    I've only used the brackets on the front & rear diagonal corners of the intake manifold. Sometimes using the end of the head or exhaust can mangle up the valve cover.

    Starter wires near exhaust manifold

    I forget if it was my old 6.2NA or 6.5TD that use to eat starters, I ended up extending the wires and used a weather-pak connection for ease of removal.

    Cylinder head gasket replacement job

    Was it running hot before you messed with it? Did the replacement sending unit look like the old one? Could have mistakenly installed a sender for an idiot light?

    Help identifying what gears I might have

    A plus on pulling the cover is you can see if the gear oil has any water in it and can check for any sparkles in the fluid. You'll only be out some silicone sealant and 2 or 3 qts. of gear oil. If you've never smelt gear oil, if it smells bad, it's good.

    New to Square body, what's this?

    What would the key look like after a road trip? Maybe a tumbler for making pea stone.

    Anybody know where these go

    There is a hint on post #4, you have some extra 6.2 diesel wires floating around.

    Engine temp running a bit warm

    Whenever I have an odd reading on a factory gauge, I'll use a second gauge to verify. For oil pressure "T" in a mechanical gauge, for engine temp an IR temp gun, or drop an old fashion ether gauge down the radiator fill, if one exists.

    Any sign of non-rent paying rodent tenants eating lunch along the harness?

    Sediment in fuel filter

    Get a dremmel and do an autopsy, use a magnet to fish out metal particles if any.

    Sediment in fuel filter

    My guess would be rust and misc. fuel line crap.

    Anybody know where these go

    Is there a sensor on the radiator, passenger side about 1/3rd way down the tank?

    Speedometer and Odometer quit

    Does it have factory cruise control? Most likely the plastic gear at the transmission is stripped OR the cable is broken. You could disconnect the cable from the trans and spin it with a drill, if the needle moves it's a gear problem.

    Adding Air Conditioning in the South

    I put a vintage air system about 10 to 15 years ago in my '85 CUCV blazer. The blazer has a lot more interior volume than a regular cab, so the a/c was ok in the front but not that well for the rear seating. Realize the CUCV's had no insulation or sound deadening and was heat absorbing dark green.

    Cruise control switch year identification

    That's what the one in my '74 looked like.

    Oil Pan Gasket

    If the heads of the bolts aren't rounded and the threads are ok, use them.

    What's that switch? (In Cig tray, With photos)

    The box with the zip ties could be a motion detector or mercury switch. If it is still working you could test it with a multi-meter.
