That's the plan!

I imagine you checked fluid levels? If you d code to go with a mechanic, many won't touch that truck, but I've had luck in the past with mechanics who work on heavy equipment like farm tractors and such. I don't know if it's covered by any of Tactical Repairs video's on YT, but he has a few on...

Mine has the insulated soft top and to my surprise, it works rather well, but it has some major gaps up in the corners where rain and snow would come in and the windows aren't square either. The weather stripping around the windows is a pita to do since it's a process, but some weatherstripping...

One of them is air full time and the other only activates when the brake is applied. I'm not 100% sure on that but you'd want to verify that in the TM's if you plan on hauling a trailer or anything.

That's understandable. I'm sure there will be plenty of good memories to come with your truck!

This was back in March when we had the final wave of winter snow for the year. Drove Crispy to the in-laws to pick up my son, while it may not handle like my Dakota in the snow and ice, knowing what it is I'm behind the wheel of, I drive slower and more alert. With a heater that works and from...

Is there a name for that truck? I don't know why, but she looks like a "Thyra", which in Norse mythology, "The protector of brave men and champions."

I tried that and while it was just idling, the coolant went down some like normal but was slowly coming out when it was warm but there wasn't any bubbles either other than an occasional small air bubble but not like any of the tell tale signs of combustion gases. I have some significant blowby...

Just curious, but could you use white solder on it?

Just curious, but how would that affect the blowby?

Camp all set up at Haspin.

"Crispy" on the way to the Haspin rally. Made a pitstop for fuel, butt break, and some grub.

I'm pretty sure I narrowed down my oil leak issue, I cleaned the engine off and did some high tech science with some cardboard. I'm pretty sure it's the head gasket. Doesn't leak much but only seeps while idling or throttled up not under a load, but when it's under a load, it sprays all over the...

No,that won't affect that process, but when you get the time, I'd recommend deleting it. It tends to leak and cause fires as it drips on the exhaust.

Welcome from MI! Lots of great info in the forums and good reads as well if you like to read stories on how others modified or used their trucks for different applications.

Does that have a flame heater?

I'm sure most of us have experienced some days where things just could have went better, but look on the bright side, the oil spilled, you're just giving it back to the earth 🤷😆.

If the truck sat for three years, I have no doubt that it's a strong possibility that is water from condensation. I don't think pulling the injectors is a bad idea, check the spray patterns and also make sure the cylinders are clear.

That's an awesome video, well done on the filming. Definitely looks like a challenge and lots of fun!

That's not a bad idea.
