    Has a little more than 50K miles. At least 150k, maybe a lot more. They used ether to start it. Pretty sure glowplugs are shot. Tranny shifted hard and it would barely stop. I decided to hold off now on it. I don’t need another major project right now until I get my 2002 on the road...

    Thanks los182, thats what I am leaning towards. I think if nothing else, and I don’t like it, I can get my money back (maybe more). I appreciate everyone looking at this and maybe pointing stuff to check out. I know my 1994, leaked bad around injector return lines. This shows no signs of...

    Hi I have a chance to buy a superclean, retired 1986 regular cab, dually 2 wd with automatic. It has an ambulance body on back but they used it for emergency equipment apparently. Under the hood looks like new. Its always been in firehouse. I don’t really need it and can barely afford it...

    Here are some progress shots after I replaced the leaking hose... Bottom pic first, top pic is second, last is middle pic with lights on. It only needs a front bumper, which I plan to make later. I drove it to town and got fuel with no problems.

    79jasper, thank you, thats where I first thought the leak was from, power steering cooler. I did reroute the hoses. Now they go under the radiator support bracket.

    I found the problem and now have a spare radiator. I punctured the hose going to the new transmission fluid cooler. Fixed now! Thanks all!! It was the lower back hose. I had hard time getting it off old cooler. Guess I punctured it.

    The reason I quit working on the truck is that my dad had a heart attack and had to have quadruple bypass surgery. Surgery did not go well. I have been out of state helping my folks during a rough recovery for my dad. Thanks

    Here's the problem. Its leaking transmission fluid from or near the radiator. I am not sure exactly whats happening. Actually the first radiator I installed was bent from shipping. I thought thats why it was leaking. I just installed a new radiator from O'reilly's and its still leaking...

    After a long absence I have been working on this truck. I have all the mechanical things complete.... almost. With new batteries the truck cranked up and drove with no problems after sitting for a year and a half.
