Of course I did an oil change after a few minutes run time and a new air filter. Will probably do an oil change with an oil filter in a few hundred miles. I know that brake clean, penetrating fluid, and gasket debris all fell into the engine in some amount. First start had massive lifter...

Also, I did the heater "T" connections under the car on the passenger side of the tranny. There are two of them right next to each other. One of mine completely disintegrated while I was pulling it out. The other only had one crack. Glad I got two to replace these ones, just for peace of mind...

We're back together! Heads machined, new seals everywhere, timing belt, one exhaust manifold that had a bad crack. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a job. Notes: - Getting the gaskets installed between the crossover coolant pipe and the heads was a total pain in the butt. Just took time and...

Thank you! Ended up going with a mahle kit. I’m in deep now

Cooling system building pressure and blowing out the overflow. Exhaust gasses coming into it. It changed the color of the test fluid almost immediately. Going to tackle this myself. So far, I'm ordering: Aisin timing belt kit Aisin tensioner front crank shaft oil seal 2 x camshaft seals 2 x...

Nice clean truck! Make sure to get that timing belt done and make sure the butterflies are lock tited in. This next part might ruffle some feathers, but I think these trucks run best at stock height. Aftermarket shocks are a must at this point, but if raised too high with stiff springs, ride...

yes but only if you had other swaps too. Overall it’s not necessary. If you had manual locking hubs that were not engaged, then you could get symptoms like yours when switched to 4h unlock center diff (all wheel drive)

Do you have manual locking hubs?

Have y’all looked at the radica moon lander?

Thank you all for the help. I did try changing to auto and same problem. I ended up having the shop replace the condenser and the switch based on their recommendation but it did not fix the problem. They said the condenser was leaking, but idk how true that was, but it’s possible. Regardless, my...

Update: that sensor checks out. I idled the truck for a while with the AC on. It was cold as ice for 5-10 minutes, but eventually became warm as expected. It sounded like the compressor was no longer kicking on. The switch measured as normal and once the ac became warm, unplugging the switch had...

Well, it looks like I was wrong. The factory service manual states that switch should have continuity when everything is normal. And it loses continuity if pressure falls or increases to a bad pressure. So I think right now, the reading is good. So the switch still could be the problem. But...

Thank you for the reply. I went looking for a temp or pressure sensor by the condenser and found the pressure sensor that the shop said is probably bad. I think it's just a simple cut off switch if the pressure gets too high. With the truck completely cold, not driven in a day, I unplugged the...
