  1. what size and brand tires are you running? would you recommend it? price?
  2. i just installed a pair of these locks on my 620. the procedure was the same but i couldnt figure out how to get the "deadbolt" mechanism, as you called it, to work. i can only lock and unlock it when the door is shut. any help would be greatly appreciated
  3. it turns out it was just the thermostat gasket. thanks for the help everyone.
  4. I havent had time to fix it yet this weekend. But im assuming its the thermostat housing because it leaks before it gets warmes up enough for the thermostat to open up the cooling system through the engine. They gave me the wrong gasket (2 holes) but i decided to use it anyway. Ill have to order the 3 hole gasket and if that doesnt fix the problem i can assume its either the intake or head gaskets.
  5. yes darrel. engine is completely stock. i noticed it was leaking a little from the thermostat (i replaced it and the gasket wasnt a perfect fit), but the thermostat leak didnt seem significant enough to be gushing out as much as it is from what i see coming out underneath the truck.
  6. ill check both gaskets tomorrow when theres sunlight. ill keep you guys posted. thank you
  7. i just started it up again and i can see coolant along the drivers side of the engine. i still dont see where it is coming from.
  8. Do you have any pictures? I heard they tend to rust and start to leak but in my case im pretty sure something happened because it started overheating
  9. While i was on the highway i noticed my engine temp was almost on "H". I dont know how long i was driving with a hot engine. But when i stopped, it was boing over. Anyways, when i drove it home the next dayi made sure it didnt get much hotter than 2/3 the way towards "H". I flushed the system (it was full so there were no leaks), put a gallon of 50/50 and i noticed theres a leak. Im having a hard time finding where the leak might be coming from. It doesnt leak a lot when sitting in the driveway, but if i start it up it begins to drip down off the back of the block where it meets the trans and also i see it dripping off the bottom of the oil pan. Did i fry my engine? I dont believe the leak is internal because for one i can see it leaking and two theres no coolant in my oil. Where might this leak be coming from? And how would i go about fixing it?
  10. i got lucky (for the most part) when i bought my truck. the bed is in virtually perfect condition as far as dents go. a little shipped paint/rust but its as straight as an arrow and i do plan on keeping it that way. what could i use that will protect the sheet metal from dents?
