You pulled the engine with the radiator in place? Personally, I would have pulled the radiator and given serious thought to removing the core support, it's not that many bolts and you wouldn't have to lift the engine so high. In the past I've pulled the engine and tranny out the front, that was...

I've used SEM, I've had color pre mixed for a specific code and I've used spray bombs from auto parts store for interior.

I've had good luck painting them , even changing colors. I wash them with soap and water and a stiff brush, dry well and then (using gloves) wipe down with lacquer thinner, really soak it and make sure to use a LINT FREE RAG, the plastic will get a bit sticky, at that time let thinner flash off...

Has that truck been parked on a slope with that side downhill? I'd bet that that's gear oil and it slipped past the seal while parked.

Don't you love it when they fix themselves?

Sure looks like the ones I used, made a noticeable difference in ride quality.

Sorry to say but you need the V belt pully pump, somehow you got the reverse flow serpentine belt pump.

Guess who's going to dig around in the garage and sell a few gas caps?

IIRC the empty weight of my truck weighed at the scrap dealer was 6550 with me in the seat and a half tank of fuel.

Before I'd jump on the fuel pump, I'd be looking really hard at the filter assembly. I doubt the leak is big enough to see fuel dripping but you may find a damp spot, do you have a way to pressurize the fuel tank? Just a few (5psi) will show you where the leak is. If you can pressurize it and...

Some of the above is dead on, it's cold outside. What happens to oil and grease when it get cold? It gets thicker, from the oil in the pan putting more drag on the oil pump to the ATF in the tranny and TC all the way to the differentials and wheel bearings. The cold also effects the tires and...

Move shifter from P to 1st, I think that will do it. How are your cab mounts? You shouldn't be having this problem.

I'm leaning on bad GP's, very little fuel comes out of the injectors. get the truck inside and warm, check those GP's and go from there.

In all these years and all the tranny's, I've removed, I have never come across any spacers that I remember. If I ever did I'd think some shade tree mechanic did a hack job.

Pulling something out of a stuck situation is totally different than towing down the road. My son (kids know it all and old men know nothing) didn't believe me that towing a 30' camper behind a square body Blazer was a horrible idea. I had no idea what I was talking about! Then he used the...
