    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That makes sense, my sister used to live in Sammamish.

    Cool bikes! Bet you can eat up a lot of miles in a day.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    I was really too busy to take many, but here is one all loaded up and ready to head for home yesterday. And one with my lovely wife from out on the trails. Truck did good other than an episode of rear brakes dragging bad enough to smoke for about ten minutes after I pulled over. I think I...

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    I was hoping the bags could be replaced without everything. Thanks for confirming. This is the long term goal. I will need to find some proper wheels to avoid the issue. For now I am going to run as she is. The most I typically haul is my 25ft travel trailer. My 87's handle it without...

    The rear tires... PO put wrong wheels on that have too much backspacing and they were hitting the air bags.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    Just a quick update. The 4x4 shifting seems to be sorted out, will be able to test some this weekend on gravel roads. I replaced the tach sensor so now have a working tachometer :thumbsup: The PO had stuffed some 6x8 speakers into the doors which have been shorting or something on the door...

    Fuel filter light comes up what could be the cause?

    You can just run a length of fuel rated rubber hose. Just angle cut it or make a T so it doesn't suction on the bottom of the tank.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The Colorado Springs Zoo is well worth checking out if you have the time. I had to drag my wife away from the giraffe area after about an hour. The prairie dogs were really fun to watch as well. Like miniature big time wrestling. Pikes Peak was neat too.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    The rear brake shoes are replaced, caught it just before the rivets started gouging the drums. While I was in there I removed the air bags since they really weren’t doing much good…. See picture below. I loosened up the transfer case shifter bracket and pryed it forward. The shifter goes a bit...

    Fox body overflow tank in an IDI?

    I ordered the same one as IDIoit, just haven’t installed it yet. Mine just dumps to the ground currently.

    This is what I am thinking, will try as soon as I get done with the rear brakes...

    It doesn't want to stop in 4 high. From 2WD it won't go back far enough to hit 4HI without pushing down, then it goes right to neutral.

    Also I had previously added in a nylon line to the boost gauge to get it functional. Forgot to mention this.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    More progress has been made. I ordered a thermocouple and new cable from Isspro to get the EGT gauge functional. Manifold has been drilled and tapped. All is installed and seems to be functioning correctly. Got a Maxtow coolant temperature gauge installed in the factory spot in the head and...

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Where are you at in Washington? Must be E-Wa, even so 110 is hot!

    Took Benny to the Pick n Pull today and found what is hopefully all that is needed to get the four wheel drive operational!

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    The truck is fully put back together after creating some clearance between the y-pipe and cab. Went for a test drive and wow what a difference! Very smooth now and much more pleasant to drive.

    Damn! That’s a great idea. Wish I had read this before tackling it this afternoon…. Oh well it is almost put back together.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    Well I am fairly sure I found the vibration that has been driving me crazy. I really felt it in the accelerator pedal. It really got me thinking when I would take a hard right turn and it seemed to go so suddenly silent that I thought the motor shut off. Worried me enough the first time or...

    Yes, I am sure. That is just a little farther down the priority list.

    I'M BACK!!!! Rehabilitation of Benny

    Maybe…. But the 4x4 shifter is also broken. There is just the pivot area left on the transfer case.
