I lifted the hood to show someone the LS and noticed the sight glass (plastic tube) on the fleabay can looked orange/yellowish. Drained it today and found this. The passenger side cover doesn't have one....but will be getting one soon after seeing this.

There was only about half a cup that came out, but it didn't show up in the sight glass until it got colder outside. Engine oil looks fine.

No i think hes talking about that thin piece of metal under that j hook. Yes the j hook goes under the control arm for lifting though. As seen in the third pic from left.

Attached the jokey box to the dash. Not the prettiest fix I ever did but it works. Got it off slightly so it takes a gentle pry to get it to open. Good enough for a old beat to hell fencing rig. :happy160::happy175:
Got it off the garage floor anyway. :happy175::happy175::happy175:

That’s not right. I thought there was a whole thread on the proper screws? How could that not have been consulted?!?
Not sure, it should be archived into the tech section do to the informative content of that thread.

A thin shim on each lower hinge bolt (between the door and hinge) will take care of that little bit of door sag. Or the tedious task of adjusting the hinge on the cab. For a driver, I prefer the super simple shim method.

You can also tweak the door itself, but it will usually sag back down very quickly.

Nope 3” deck screws
Oh NOOOOooooo, You mean five inch by no. 12 was not fitting and proper ?
Now I suppose I need to remove the glove box, weld all the dozen holes shut, then doi another search in the forum to find the thread containing the proper procedure for installing a pie anner hinge to the glove box.
:wtf::slap::banghead:
