    The funvee is not happy with me 😞

    90deg going uphill for Miles ! Gauge going up to 240 even at 55. Around 205 when driving around town. But who knows how accurate that gauge is. Every bump I hit that gauge just freaks out. First real trip of any distance since I got it.

    Engine block drain cock for coolant change

    The only issue I had with using any acid based product is that if it’s not completely removed or neutralized and is present in some sediment it will continue to eat away at metals and you’ll get leaks. Just like rust , it never sleeps. 🥸

    Engine block drain cock for coolant change

    When I went to drain mine I couldn’t get mine open either. But I pulled the “plug” on the water pump and attached a garden hose to it. The radiator drain worked most of the time ( I could get to it to clean) but I just opened the hose full blast and started the truck and ran it at @ 2k until the...

    Brake problems

    It may not be a wheel cyl. It could be the master bleeding into the airpac

    24v led lighted license plate

    There should be NO current drain from an led bulb. Is the ground on the tail light good especially if you used the tail light ground for the license plate light.

    302 engine head gasket set

    Those 40+ year old gaskets are going to be so dry I doubt the hole would still line up.

    M1165A1 Headlights Burning Out

    I can’t see even wiring them “wrong” causing them to burn out , 24v across even or “backward “ won’t do crap. Unless it’s getting 30+ Volts won’t do crap other than burning real bright for “several” seconds before going all Kodak flash,if it’s a regular bulb you should see it’s too fu@n bright...

    New M35A2 home and on the jack stands looking for the wheel issue

    A nice "THIN" layer around the outside of the seal should work well to fill in any imperfection in the housing just remember Its not a toothpaste loop , use your finger to remove any access sealer. Also They make a seal installing lube but i think its more for more for pressing in a seal not...

    New M35A2 home and on the jack stands looking for the wheel issue

    Most wheel bearing grease doesn't melt till well over 350deg. , excessive heat on the hub could be just the breaks dragging , but you also posted that the boots are cracked and leaking oil , there shouldn't be oil leaking from the boots unless the seals are bad allowing the diff oil to...
