  1. Thanks for all the help yall im just wondering ,Should I drain the radiator fluid first? T
  2. Hey! i just recently replaced my alternator belt on my 82 deisel truck and it was going fine for about 900 miles and just started squealing bad weather it is warmed up or not. at high speeds it seems to stop but it might be just because it is at such a high frequency or the other engine noise drowns it out. i checked the tension on the belt and it seems fine and was poking around and realized i could wobble the fan back and forth, and so i figure its the water pump somehow, maybe bearings are out? i am relitively new to engines so this may be kind of pathetic for some of you but i am a fast learner and am good with mechanical things i just need a bit of advice on how to remove and replace the water pump. Do i need to order a new fan clutch? or should the old one attach somehow? and it seems like i am going to have to remove the radiator to get at the water pump yes? And tips or tricks? things to look out for? thanks for your time, -T
  3. Hey! yeah my friend found thier wallet... thanks for the help at the yard... i managed to find the part on the front i needed and fixed it up ther best i could though im no pro i think it looks a thousand times better.i am thinking about just getting and installing all new side panels as i think the truck was in a major wreck and it is all bent out of shape i want to get this truck as clean as i can. but i have a busy life so its going to be a slow going project. Will keep yall posted if youre interested! T
  4. My name is thea im new to datsuns i knew i wanted some 4cyl diesel truck and i found this in bend oregon and fell in love.. I picked it up In ok condition, it needed front end work which i got done, needed new back breaks and someone had put the wrong sized rims on years ago and the rims were getting worn through almost to the point of flying off... gave her a full flush, went stalking around junk yards for a combination switch as the turn signals weren't working only to find it was a short in the emergency lights and managed to rig something up with the help of a friend. I have all the tools to fix the bit of body rust there is just waiting out the rain as i dont have a garage. i was hunting through a junk yard for a tail light when i ran into someone who recommended this forum, seems like a pretty sweet resource. Im wondering how much of a gem Ive got here and some tips on a few things. as you can see from the front shot the panel behind and underneath the bumper has been through some kind of hell, it is all rusted out and crimped and i would like to fix it up, do i have to get a whole new panel somewhere or is there a easier way to go about it? and how hard are jump seats to find? any tips on increasing mpg's? I am really into restoring this truck to its former state... thanks for taking a look! T
