I didn't hear anything from my co worker, but I was told by a friend about a shop here in town. Going to call them and find out about my heads, otherwise I found two places by my work, they have engines for sale, so maybe they can help. Hope all I hear is good news!!

Take her for a ride when the seats are done, then maybe she might let you sleep on the couch!! Lol. I'm sure she will appreciate a more comfortable ride, especially if your doing some off roading. My woman complain about the bench seat, but she was happy as all get out when she drove, then I was...

I had state farm and I paid 107 a month. They didn't tell me about any restrictions, but then again, nobody in the office even knew what it was. I got plates labeled as log farm which was $120 with tags. This was when I use to live in Big Rapids MI. I bought my truck from General Jims in Claire...

Well at least the radiator is easy to remove. You might have to remove the fan blade because of the shroud. I had to on mine. I kicker is that lower radiator hose. It can be a pain to put back on, but it would probly go on easier before you bolt the radiator back in so you have a little more...

The Ac Delco did require a custom made bracket and had to get smaller belts too. This was done on my A2 so I know it will be a little different. The guy that did gave me a good deal on it. Hundred bucks for the bracket with labor. The thing I like most about this set up, is the fact there is...

Yes, I was surprised to have found a SS member here in NE as well. I remember telling my woman that I wondered if they other guy with the mv is a SS member. I know now! I must say it was a pleasure to have met and looking forward to do some mv driving soon. I know mike isn't a SS member, but I...

Well I hope you get your truck going again! Let me know if you do. I know I am going to be working on mine tomorrow. I'm going to get what I need and hopefully by the end of thos month all is good. If so, maybe we might have to go cruising around.

Glad to see everything good so far. You better have some pics or video from your rally!! We need new ones! I'm sure you'll see some beautiful landscape along your journey. Wish you the best of luck. Be safe and have fun!! :)

I have been overhaulin my engine since I blew my head gasket and melted a piston. Nothing came out when I drained the oil, but when I popped the pan off there were some chunks in there. I would inspect everything to be safe.

Nice truck. It'll be done before you know it. Keep up the good work. Want to see how your truck looks when you're done!!

Nothing in your oil filters? No shavings in the oil? Almost looks like a retainer of some sort. I would drop the oil pan and see what else is in there before you go on a long trip.

I agree. They do dig holes in your pocket book, but yet, I have noticed a lot of parts are cheaper for a duece than comparable parts for other vehicles. That also depends on where or whom you get the parts from and if you do the repairs yourself or have a shop do them. Most large repairs can be...

That sucks, I hope you figure out why it happened. My alternator failed because I had a bad cell in one of my batteries, which were less than two years old. The battery grounded itself so to speak, and less than five min when something didn't seem right, the alt burned up. The regulator was...

I know when I fix my truck, I plan on driving it to work but not everyday. Mostly because the people I work with want to see it. It's about twenty five miles one way, so every now and then can be fun, but everyday might be a little much, unless we move closer then sure, but for the time being...

I hope I didn't come off being harsh, I just want to know what he thinks. If anyone's suggestions provided any benifits.

If you install the switch, just follow the normal shutdown procedure, then to the switch off to disconnect. If you disconnect batteries before hand and the alt is producing power, (or if you're using it cut power from the start button, turn your switch off last so it's good to go) the power will...

Sounds like a good preventive maintance program. When I worked at Menards we used a pm sheet to check evetything on the forklifts. I think making my own sheet to fill out at least once or twice a week, I believe it would help and you wouldn't forget about anything before it's to late. My bolt...

Well I received my gaskets today from Tnj Murray's. $55 for head gasket, with the integrated fire rings. Now I just have to get the rest of my parts and have my heads checked, then I can slow start putting the motor back together. I like using my android for this since it's quick and easy to get...

Who knows, maybe I will just win the lotto jackpot, have millions, pay someone to fully restore my truck, host a rally somewhere, pay for everyone's fuel, and have fun!! Sounds good to me. Someday. . .

Oh definetly I agree with you 100%. I'm trying to prep the head the best I can. I just have to find a machine shop around here first. I know why exactly how it happend. I guess I should of explained it a long time ago. When I was driving my truck down the highway going 55 with 6 wheel drive...
