    TBI no start

    Hello all. This morning when I started my truck it shut itself off within 20 seconds. Hasn't turned over since, it just cranks and cranks like its getting so spark or fuel.

    Let's talk headlights!

    I skimmed through the other Electronics posts, and Didn't find this specific topic. On the mid and late 1980's model trucks, the headlights are stacked with Lo on top and Hi on bottom. Does anybody know if it's possible to wire in four Lo, and Hi beams so that all four lights work all the...

    Is patch work too ghetto?

    I recently started a new job at my local U-haul center. As a low salary single father, sleeping on a sofa, in a home with no garage, or concrete driveway. My options are limited for repairing my old 87. At my shop we have a massive air compressor, full set of air tools and all the goods...
