I’m leaning towards head gasket like in that thread. No blue smoke though. Just black.

Life got in the way again after the post above. One of the inside rear tires leaked, I let the truck sit and by the time I got the tire good. The brakes were low on fluid. So, the truck didn’t get driven on the road. Just around my property pulling trees and being a mobile scaffolding for tree...

That is my plan while the fuel is cheap and the weather is no ac friendly. Thanks again for all the help everyone.

What can I write besides we are all a bit on the special side. Colton and I spent the afternoon after church putting all the wire clamps on. I don’t have a good set of batteries so I’m not going to do any extended long drives until I do. So hat will have to wait. One odd thing we both...

Chris, the IP TM says those safety wired screws are supposed to be 18 inch pounds. That had it binding last week so I just backed them off to where it was moving free then wired them in place. Same yesterday except I didn’t even try torquing. I just went by feel. Kind of like setting wheel...

I have been blazing through some repairs to the Whistler the last 3-1/2 years. It started making oil in May of 2015. It sat for a while, the wiring rotted off so I couldn’t get power to the intank pump to check the boost pump seal. Then we had a hurricane. Life got in the way and such. It now...
