    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...

    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.

    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.

    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:

    Wanted - Dual Air Pump Pulley

    What are the stampings on the pulleys? They should have a DZ stamped on them.

    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.

    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?

    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...

    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?

    Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal

    BTW. The truck did not overheat or blow any coolant into the overflow. I also replaced the waterpump a little over a year ago. Forgot to mention that.

    Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal

    Coolant Mixture is brand new premixed 50/50. New AC condensor. I will check the radiator for blockages. Will check lower hose. I don't remember if it has the spring or not.

    Coolant Temp - Just checking if normal

    My 1985 K20 (8600 GVW) has the 350m, AC and a Manual Trans. The AC was just converted to r134a with all new parts. On Sunday it was about 95 degrees and very humid. Driving home on the highway at 65-70 mph the truck hit 210 degrees with the AC on MAX. It has never gotten that hot but then I...

    long bed to a short bed??

    The Trucks show on Spike TV did this to a 66 Chevy Truck. It was quite involved but doable. See if they have a CD for this series. The Truck turned out sweet.

    Oil Pan Leak

    I am using the factory guage with a NOS sending unit. Nice and steady but it could be off since it is factory. The old sending unit used to jump all around - the new one seems to behave like it should. You know. High pressure when the motor is cold. After a long highway drive it shows about...

    Oil Pan Leak

    My oil pan is leaking both front and rear. Gonna put a 1 piece Felpro seal on it. Also my oil pressure seems kinda low. When hot @ idle I get about 25 at highway speeds I get just under 45. My manual says I should be at 45 @ 2,000 rpms. Should I replace the pump when I have the pan off...

    Truck can't tow anymore...

    These are the same people who think putting an 8" lift kit on a pickup makes it awesome for off-road. How the modification is engineered is what is important. I had a Jeep YJ with a 2 1/2 lift kit rolling 31" tires that would go more places that my buddies with their 4" lifts and 35" tires...
