that's a gorgeous pickup

duals are squirrly. sic im the leading expert on what cannot be accomplished with duals. for i have tried all combinations of earth surface beneath my duallies top of the list of unaccomplishables is: is going off road most of my adult life i have been the pilot of a dual rear wheeled truck...

on that rear window leak; sometimes, not always and not for sure ,but sometimes ,its due to cab mount driver side ripping loose from the truck body, also makes for some squeeeeeks . ALL of my dodges ripped there

for this i personally would use a fun ton. f350 3500hd or dodges which is a 3500 also i believe and i would go gas, sooo much cheaper in every aspect. every aspect. look here, toyota used a half ton with an 8 inch axle. just how much truck do u need? the 450/550 is a commercial truck...

power steering pumps: im experimenting with a parker gerotor hydraulic pump. replacing my ford vane pump. its a stupid simple bolt in project using the ford cast alum bracket. im converting from vacuum to hydro at the same time let you guys know how well it works

my pitch from oregon. trucks here last a long time. they are very popular as transportation, so lots of supply.lots of demand and the unrealistic cost of new ,has used prices leapfrogging, sometimes dramatically, the msrp of the rig when new. i have 2 an 88 dual 4x4 gasser flatbed an 86 dual...

....future montero ranch owner.... as for the clunk or snap is better descrption, im going to replace ball joint. with factory stuff will report back in fact i do both sides lower. but i want my new rear bushings first

explain to me again why the engine is coming out? a clean chain attachment is threaded boss holes on the block. generally i like to remove as much of the engine as i can while its in the car (its a convienant cradle and i can look for clues to its condition or demise ) all the way down to the...

pm me i got them out of the car-ready to sell.

yes i agree about rear suspension issues. on these rigs the rear is actually more prone to wear as there are fewer attachment points. the minute i get loose cash , im going after the bushing kit there in ADD. the bushings at the body attachment point for the trailing arms are first priority...

14th street complex.... sounds kinda like my fantasy montero ranch. i get the feeling its like a tie rod binding up, but if it did that would be due to misalignment between tie rod and knuckle. ....dont make sense.

yes it sucks to be young and careless. it sucks even more, even to the worst degree, to be old and careless. in fact it sucks being old period.

that do sound like fun. not the looking part, but the trail part. you will remember it if that third bolt parts company!!

yes check all that. ball joint test pry up on knuckle looking for play in ball joint. but anyway im going to assume ball joint and change just that one joint. see what happens! thanks

likely thats my guess too. no evidence of that in the normal methods of testing. no funny tire wear, but im guessing along with you. im preparing a wholesale replacement of the front suspension, and that will eliminate the problem, but would like to pinpoint b4 i change everything. thx how...

gen 1 montee lwb. the front right side and sometimes the left side will "unbind" on hard braking , low speed going backward. roll out of the garage and down the steep drive, stab brakes in a normal fashion, there is a loud pop, snap, or an unbinding of something over there. rig drives true...

that rig is gorgeous. i was expecting the usual dilapidated clunker. the newer have a AWD option the gen2 guys can explain better. it gives a lot and not much at all depending on your expectations. its not simple to adapt to you 91

self-sabotage maybe , but i aint sayin' im old and slow. and actually thought of giving up on this stupid car fix it thing. muddy, cold, insulated's were too tight in the wrong places. couldnt get on my feet. just so much fun.

betting the lower end is good and solid probably dont need to go any deeper than you are! If so a jdm engine might be your best way out of the swamp. worse heavy mods to these engines net poor increase in performance. "baggies of bolts!" thats for sissies!! .

im sure that rig turned heads, as it went rolling by
