Did he really let the smoke out?

Thanks for all you do patracy, I am sure this site would certainly not as good without you. While others may be as good as you on computer stuff, and maybe better, it,s your attitude that I believe makes the difference. (should have said "not be as good without you). Many thanks and I can,t even...

To further elaborate, check the sediment in the bottom of the sump. Sorry I forgot to say thst.

Well I,m thinking about dropping the oil pan simply because it does not have a rebuild tag on it anywhere and it is a 1960 model. It has 18,000 miles and 1008 hours on it. It was used in civilian life as a radio/communications truck. Poorly taken care of. As I have a job and debts it will be a...

Thanks to all for laying out the welcome mat, for the advice, and especially the two way w/simp5782.

Didnt do anything this week except except raise hood and check fluids and start her. No oil pressure. Jumped out, ran to front, climbed on, opened oil cap again and saw oil squirting as it should. THAT was a load off my mind. New sending unit is on the list...

General Hood "5 second fuses only last 3 seconds" is so true and yet hilarious. Porckysplace, I have a two terabyte hard drive and someone to show me how to copy what I need to. It,s just gonna take time for me. .....Thanks.

Lord help me if I have to buy all new brake shoes! Its going to be enough already when I buy the 8 80% percent tread tires I need, not to mention the tubes and liners. Thanks for the greetings yall. 73 from me , W5MDX. ps, did,nt realize there were ham ops here. Bye for now.
