    FS: 1985 diesel parts--glowplugs, vacuum pump, alternator Only things I have left on the shelf collecting dust from the truck in my sig that we had towed away because the engine went south. Not even sure if these are worth shipping. Glowplugs would be cheap to send. Alt and vacuum pump...

    What will $2500 in the bay area get me?

    We are coming from the clunker in my sig, which I think is dead. I wanted to junk it somehow and yank the new tires, ip/injectors and some misc. parts to recoup some $$. Only problem there is I don't have a place to store and dismantle. Anyways we need the 4x4 and extended cab seating, if...

    damn is my truck going to blow up?(video inside)

    I have never experienced this before on the truck, I have a bad feeling this isn't an injector. I ran it on atf for a bit and left it primed with the stuff and will let it sit overnight for the hell of it. Hopefully the video conveys whats going on, I am scared to drive it now, it sounds...

    Can you strip turbo parts from a van without taking the engine out?

    Just wondering since I read about them being so tight for space if you can eventually get to all the parts without jacking or taking the engine off its mounts, etc.? Thanks!

    Can I delete cruise control wiring harness?(having issues since i did)

    Tried searching a few forums but couldn't find anything concrete. Long story short I am taking an intact wiring harness and transplanting it into my truck. Both models are supposedly 85 and had cruise control. Although now that I think about it the donor truck had some kind of speed...

    Does this stock tach look ok?(picture included)

    I have never seen one and luckily didn't have to pay for it. Somebody pried it apart. I have the dash piece as is, a faceplate and a needle that fits on that shaft. Just wondering if this might "look" ok and if its worth the trouble swapping parts to make one good dash. It looks like...

    can bad batteries cause pulsating gages and overcharging?

    Long story short we had an accident where the starter positive arced on the frame and melted through the positive lead on the starter side of the truck. Other battery was drained quick. Surprisingly the batteries took charge and after hooking things back up it was driven home where its parked...

    my uhaul pump won't start when hot

    I have been searching and reading and was just wondering if this always means a bad pump like I see mentioned too often? I was just wondering if their pumps sat in their shrink wrap which wasn't air tight, and I only got a dribble of fuel when I installed it, could it be things sticking...

    FS: injector pump and injectors from running 1985 6.9 diesel

    Long story short, I tuned up my truck with uhaul pump/injectors. I suspect that although this truck starts good hot and warm(when no air intrusion), that the parts could be original based on how the rest of the truck looks. I suspect I am down on power and a handfull of times I have had to run...

    Can a blow head gasket introduce oil into coolant system?

    Can a blown head gasket introduce oil into coolant system? Sorry but I am no techie and my searches haven't helped much. Basically the coolant system has been clear of oil for a couple thousand miles, since we serviced the oil cooler after we picked up this clunker a few months ago. We...

    How do you get rear slip driveshaft pieces at carrier bearing apart?(supercab 4x4)

    I spent a couple hours searching google and a couple of forums and do not want to break anything with a hammer just yet :) I haven't found anything specifically relevent. I have a 1985 supercab 4x4 and in the rear end it has a split driveshaft. I have a slip type yolk towards the rear of...

    Can I degrease the cooling system at home after an oil cooler rebuild?

    I did everything by the book as far as the oil filter servicing and think I am good on that front. Our 85 junker was neglected by the previous owner with oil puking into the coolant reservoir. Anyways I am now on my 8th flush of either dish soap or cascade granules and it is still coming out...
