Well after having the old girl sitting in my driveway half apart for the last week got it running again today. I replaced the radiator, upper and lower hoses, thermostat, bypass hose, water pump, harmonic balancer, new belts & overflow hose. The old radiator was definitely full of gunk. The...

Well I got the combustion gas tester today and good news the thing did not change color at all when I tested it. There was also no foam inside of the cap again this time when I looked but definitely a bunch of crap buildup in the radiator. I got the new one from Napa and it is the Spectra CU850...

I am picking up a new radiator and hoses today along with thermostat from Napa. I ordered a combustion gas tester also to test and see if I have other issues as well due to that foam being in there... Figured that pressure testing the cooling system with a leaky radiator wont tell me if there...

Here is what I found when I opened the cap...

So, Tomorrow makes one week ive had the M1028A2... And It seems a few issues have shown up! I received my new belts, headlights, air filter and dash lights.. Monday I drive the truck to work and someone tells me theres a puddle of coolant dripping under the truck. Great. I had filled up the...

Worked on the truck a little bit today. Changed the oil. Greased all of the zerk fittings. Checked all of the other fluids. Ordered a new AC delco harmonic balancer to replace the one that is on there. It does not look all that bad. Some cracks in the rubber but no missing pieces or bulging...

I was looking at the tiny tach that has the transducer mounted to the injector line but I have not yet ordered one because I can't find a definitive answer on what size transducer to get. It sounds like it is the 1/4". There is a ton of information on this forum but sometimes it does not all...

So took the drive up yesterday to check the truck out. Ended up bringing her home! Truck was in better condition than I expected for a 30 year old vehicle. Bigger than it looks in the photos too. Seller was a great guy obviously took care of the truck. Drove it back home taking secondary roads...

Well after some back and fourth with the seller he has agreed to come down to $9000 on the truck which is a little more than I would like to pay but still I suppose is fair if it is everything it shows in the photos and has no issues. I am planning on taking the trip to see it this week.. cash...

Thanks again for the input. After looking at a deuce bed I can certainly see now that is exactly what it is. I agree it looks a little odd from the rear and looks quite high up but I kind of dig the utility look of it. I emailed the seller asking how flexible he is on the price. I am still...

Thank you, I appreciate your input. I was not sure if the bed was some special option or just a DIY mod. Personally I like the look since originally I wanted an M923 5 ton but this is a little more practical and useable... Albeit at a higher initial cost. I definitely have some thinking to do...

I am in the market for getting a truck to replace my TJ Wrangler and I have been looking for months on my local CL for something that will be reliable, diesel engine, ideally a stick shift... I'd really like a 12v dodge but all of those around here are beat to heck. I have been looking at these...
