  1. I've look around at the junkyard here to no luck. For some reason most of them only carry 1999 and newer. Im listing it on the classified if anyone need parts. Or just one me
  2. Well my mindset right now is that I'm gonna scrap it bc there are alot of problems with it and I would rather put the money into something else. It also has me worried "what's next". I think I'll list it on the classifieds if anyone wants parts before it take it to the junkyard. Unless wine one wants to buy it as a parts truck
  3. D you have an idea on how much it would cost to get it welded and milled? I'm trying to decide if it is worth it Or to just call it....
  4. I think she's done for. What are my options from here?
  5. Well there's your problem...... Here is where I'm at so far.
  6. I'm assuming this little nick in the rearadio most pulley is the timing mark. And the zigzag thing is the degree marker, the middle point being 0 degrees
  7. My first valve is an intake and next one back is exhaust And do I Jam the woodend wedge in here? (Does anyone have a picture of it in there, a picture is worth a thousand words) How do I get it out when done and how do I get the timing chain off the cam sprocket?
  8. Where do I pound in the wooden wedge to keep the tensioner on? Also with the cylinder #1 @ TDC is valve 1 pointed at 4 o'clock and 2 at 8? I read your write up on it and you say 8 and 4 but idk if that is in order by valve number or what
  9. Well I am sure the head gasket is blown bc I took the plugs out and bumped the ignition to get close to #1 TDC and a huge jet of coolant shot out of cylinder 3 and splattered all over the wall of my garage.
  10. The hoses were soft. I stopped as soon as I had a loss of power. Before the loss of power I didn't notice anything wrong and didn't see steam till after the loss of power After I changed the hose and replaced the coolant I drove it home. (About 2 - 3 miles) I know this probably wasn't the best choice.
  11. I guess it's head gasket replacement time. But I dont wanna (pouting around like a child)
  12. No I'm just stupid..... BTW the way I'll start the bidding at $50,000
  13. The answer is yes. I fixed the hose and drove it 3-4 miles back to my house. The whole time there are no power and a massive white cloud of steam (I assume) behind the truck. Now I need to decide if I want to replace the gasket or get something else. I'm open to offers ($$$) yall
  14. I blew a radiator hose on the way home and with it came a lose of power. Engine tempg was not maxed out but was about 3/4 the way up the gauge. Before the radio hose went I noticed a Loud "clicking" while under load. Now I'm wondering if I could of had a blown head gasket. So my question is could the overheating engine cause a blown head gasket.
