Hi--update- replaced alternator and rotton rad- what a job- the alt belt was too big so coldan tightnen it prop- got some bundge cords on it till nx time we get n there, we replced a rotton brake line too, witing for rust buster to loosen adj screws in front to bleed better
So the battery is charging now whoopy- tired of jumping it
The negine has lots of oomph- sorry for spelling- my comp self deletes when correcting.
Used the truck to hual a load of firewood already from big dead pine fell near our place
It sure has good rear suspension , deep box w crewcab cuddy and I lijke the OD button for braking
still spryaing underbody rust areas
Engine runs cool even thoug its been hot here and I put in cheap wally mart 5/30 oil
Bit of a squeel when turning left at speed- maybe the pads are down- gotta chk that
thanks for the tips and encouragement and have a nice summer
Jim
