    Oil leaks

    Block off plate had a light seeping but there is a definite leak above that. I would think valve cover but it doesn't leak anywhere I can see. The only place I can't see is the part right behind the filter head bracket but if nowhere else is leaking I wouldn't think it to only leak there? Plus...

    Oil leaks

    This is the passenger side front of engine, it's leaking what appears to be bolt going into the bottom of the bracket holding the vacuum pump bracket. Can any of the bolts on the front around here pass in a area that can leak oil?

    Belts and water pump

    I now think it was coming from the bottom bolt hole but it can't hurt to have a new water pump though it looks not as well. The gap between impellers and the housing of the water pump was like 1/8th inch vs my old one like maybe 1/64th between the blades and housing of pump. Seem so to Be...

    Belts and water pump

    Clutch came off with the kit I borrow from a friend of mines shop the "proper" tools made it easy lol after that it took me 4 hours before I drove again with a new pump, old one had a very very small amount of play in it, I'm suspecting that it was leaking from the bolt that goes into the...

    Belts and water pump

    Well it drives better now, everything feels nice like a normal persons vehicle again that rear end And having the proper tools to tighten it all down right helped a lot. Before this when I would take off it feel like bouncing on a trampoline,everything was moving around back there on just normal...

    Rear ends

    Springfield Oregon, truck drives so much better now, no more clunking feels a lot more solid with u bolts correctly installed and a rear end without 1 inch of play in the gears lol and the limited slip seems to work alright at least on the gravel. But it might need some new brakes and a diff...

    Rear ends

    Well after arguing with it for a while it's in there, so between the two swaps from 88-93 the 90 has larger wheel cylinder fittings so I had to make an adapter from my old stuff to the new axle because the one had a kink in it from them pulling it. U joint was correct from earlier post so that's...

    Convince me this air box is trash

    Those boxes work just fine for their turbo they came on. People think that they get more power without them because turbo noises increase sometimes without then and a "cold" air intake they made

    Rear ends

    Yeah not really looking for a locker was trying to save money by not having to tear into a rear end and time by buying a conversion joint or weird ended joint so everything just bolts in, the limited slip idea Is simply because I think it might end up with a little better chance of traction...

    Rear ends

    I just wanted to choose the limited slip since it was my pick pf any axle in the yard, plus this one looked to Ben on the most well take my care of truck there and was cleaner looking. Not looking for it to Be a super crazy locking axle but having both tires move in some gravel inclines would be...

    Rear ends

    Rear ends

    @BR3 thats no excact answere i was looking for! I think my current axle has a short yoke and new one has a long one but my goal was basically to get a conversion join so I didn't have to remove yoke and mess up the pinion bearing load and crush sleeve, want to bolt it in instead of messing...

    Rear ends

    Yes my truck has 1350 ones slightly bigger than the yoke on my first one. I swapped yokes unknowing of the issues with crush sleeves as I was mis informed before and destroyed this rear end in 20k. If this one has the smaller f250 u joint can I get a conversion joint? How do I know what one to...

    Rear ends

    Yes both 355, I have my pick from the yard for 150 and this is the best looking one, appears to have new seals and recent drums on it. Instead of shortening driveline could I just lift truck? I already plan on a lift anyway

    6.2l Sidewinder on 6.9/7.3

    The kit will not fit, the turbo alone maybe fit a idi with a early banks kit. But it's possible the wheels and everything are smaller on it because the two motors are almost a liter different in size

    Questioning my timing

    Oh, I noticed it was way closer than my first pump, basically any throttle applied and it's gonna me moving it almost couldn't be any closer to the roller that activated it without it starting to engage. Idk if I should be messing with it though idk If is under warrantee still or not I don't...
