Been up to quite a bit on the truck lately, among the many projects Has been to get the truck preped for fresh paint, unfortunately it looks like it's going to be far more involved than I had anticipated. The rot is more extensive than can be seen until I started using the wire wheel to get the...

I've been challenged by a hard start issue over the winter and attributed it to a fuel leak at the injector pump head and old filters. Now it's warm and ice changed the filters and fixed the leak but I'm still having issues. It will start most of the time above 50 degrees without a problem but...

Stuck home tonight and was kinda bored so I went outside to play. All of the steel used was scraps I acquired from a few local shops. I found a 1 5/8 receiver from an old truck of ours in the garage. Total cost $0.00!! It's not done yet because I ran out of mig wire but I made good progress. I...

I know this is gonna be tough given I can't get pics up but here it goes: I just removed the secondary fuel filter and just as I went to replace it with a new one I noticed a potential problem. The filter that I have appears to be an older NOS filter with a perforated metal skin surrounding the...

well Ive had a fuel leak at or around the head that has finally crippled the truck. at first the leak started as an annoyance and could possibly be the culprit behind my hard start issues but more recently i was using it to move myself out of my apartment (and for a number of reasons i had short...

looks like a small CO2 cylinder on a bracket. first thought was spare for some type of fire extinguisher but the bracket is kinda strange too. what is it for?

ive done some reading and found a few suggestions but i cant access the TM section (at work) and am looking for a quick answer so i can possibly resolve this. the problem is i noticed today i have no hazards or turn signals. i read to check ground ect and i will when i get home but the truck is...
