You are all missing the point. He said he can't take the truck out of service right now. It would be just plane stupid not to try stop leak if you are going to drive it anyways. I am a professional mechanic. I own a repair shop. I understand the limitations of stop leak. Why does a...

We don't know that his block is cracked. I agree it probably is. But I have seen a pinhole flaw in a 4cyl jeep engine and sealed it with stop leak because the customer could not afford a new block. His head gasket may have been damaged across a water port to a oil drain back port. Long shot yes...

But for all we know it could be a pin hole casting flaw. He really has nothing to lose. I don't expect it to work. but I would try if it was my truck.

Stop leak is cheap. Put some in and try it. If it works you can start saving for a new engine. If not sell something less important like the wife and kids.

Parked the deuce in my new shop for the first time. It will be nice to work on it inside out of the rain.

I Love It!

Great! Now I want to go home and play Half Life!

An air shift is nice but my truck has a Sprag type transfer case and it works just fine even in the snow. A Sprag transfer case should not be a deal beaker as long as it is in working order.

As far as pitting I have no comment. But if you do a Google search for lifter resurfacing you will find that it is normal machining service performed by many.

(I would never run a tire older than 10 years on a steer axle. Put them on the inside, rear axles, only.) I agree with the steer axle but on my deuce they go on the outside dual. The odds of a 9x20 coming apart is slim but if they do I don't want them anywhere near the brake lines.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I ended up being the master cylinder. The reservoir had rusted above the fluid level. The rust flaked off and jammed between the piston and the piston cylinder wall so it would not move. A soaking in rust remover and a rebuild fixed it. It was a bear to remove...

That coffee pot got a real workout.

The priceless treasures I found with the metal detector. The building I no longer have to go into at night. And just some pictures.

Finished up everything necessary to go camping. Only had one problem. The water pipes pulled out of the shower faucet. It appears that the plastic it is made out of is not pvc so I got no chemical bond. I made a temporary fix with a mechanical bond. A block of wood jammed behind the...

On Ebay. They were the cheapest I could find. They have 12volt bulbs in them. For 24v you would only need to change the bulbs.

Knock out freeze plug with long screw driver. Grab with pliers and pull out. Install block heater.

Installed some door pulls Replaced bathroom cabinet door Made a template for the side panel in upper bunk. Installed side panel and panels over front window. Installed lights and framed in entrance arch for upper bunk.

Put up some more doors.

I paneled the ceiling in overhead bunk. Also insulated and installed furring strips on one wall. I also primed all the doors, My wife then painted them. I installed some of the doors. The center will be painted sea foam but for now they will be white as I have only one more weekend to...

My camper put me at 12.5 feet with 9x20s
