You misunderstood or I did explain correctly, the civvie insulating blanket mounted to the front of the firewall UNDER the hood! It extended all the way from side to and the fenders need to be removed to remove/install the blanket along with heater box/master cyl and electrical stuff. Lots of...

Do you have the clutch/brake pedal assembly? That seems to be a tough thing to find in a bone yard IDK why. A pic of the left front of the tranny would help, it most likely is made for a hydraulic throw out bearing so you will also need the clutch master cyl. and slave cly along with the lines...

You NEED to get a radiator, plaine and simple. Like said above its a closed and PRESSURIZED system as the engine gets hot the coolant expands into the overflow jug, but in your case it leaks out of the holes. Then as it cools and instead of drawing the coolent BACK from the overflow jug your's...

Civvie 6.2 trucks came with a rubber coated insulateing pad that mounted to the firewall before the heater box and master cyl was attached, if you can find one it's well worth the godl Eagles and left XXX you'll have to give for it. Front clip means just that, the WHOLE front including the...

OH!!! I just remembered! The trucks that came factory with a 6.2 and manual tranny had a tube that is pressed into a hole in the block at the rea of the intake valley, that tube acts as a drain keeping fuel from the clutch lining if any fuel leaked from the IP or supply line and collects in the...

^^ and unbolt that flywheel and clean the rust off! You might be able to scrub it off with a 3M pad or sand paper or you may have to have it machined but do it. Clutches are expensive and a PIA to replace due to getting chewd up from a bad flywheel. Hyd clutch is the way to go also it may...

I have a couple that I'd sell to them or anyone for 15 grand!

You do know that if the brake shoes are oil soaked (brake fluid counts too) that they need to be replaced. Some people will use brake cleaner and reuse them but if the oil has soaked in or baked in from driveing and stopping then they need replaceing.

Your really not going get any simpler than a NA mechanical injected engine than a 6.2 and it's reliable, I have one sitting on a shelf in my garage that has a tad over 400,000 miles! I bought the truck from the original owner with aprox. 155,000 and it was never opened up. I'd still be driving...

OH man, you never used a left handed bit? You truly don't know what your missing. I have a set and they sometimes sit in the drawer for years on end UNTIL I need them and then each and every time there well worth what I paid. There not a magic wand and won't unscrew a rusted fastener but for an...

Welcome to the "offset starter " club! I have one of those too.

Ahh 1010, I was wondering WTH?? I never turned the switch off but then I didn't have a 1010, I wonder why the difference?

Cut the strap and remove the joint then place a good nut on the head of the rounded off bolt and weld it in place, use a SIX point wrench or socket to remove while it's still hot. Problem solved.

Why are you replacing the yoke? I thought you just needed to replace the u-joints and straps?

You have a bad connection somwhere, might be inside the starter soliniod or inside the relay or somewhere else. Yeah I know thats not much help, but your on the right track. Don't forget the connection between the solenoid and the starter itself, I had one melt the silver soldered connection and...

Here in NY that would defiantly be a keeper!

What a waste! I have replaced the bed crossmembers before, here in NY they rust out even if you keep the truck washed.

Wow! He should start up a "how to" school!

Well seeing as I'm half deaf I don't hear a squeak but I do hear at least one dry bearing! I'd pull it apart and at minimum grease the bearings and no way would I take it back to the so called mechanic!

Kits are available but whatever you do DO NOT turn the crank shaft down! Polishing is fine but I've seen people selling ground cranks and undersized bearing are available but stock cranks break, why would make one weaker? Rebuilding one isn't hard and it's a good time to learn more about the...
