Truck overheated due to bad tstat now no oil pressure
The truck began to overheat on sunday pulling the camper home from a great weekend. I stopped three times in the 15 mile drive to let it cool and on my way I went to the house as there was no other place to stop. Long hill and a loss of power as it was heated pretty good pulling about 10k up a...- Gigihurt

My ole beast died last night
@ Icanfixall, That is kind of what I am thinking and hoping, as My front tank was just a hair below a 1/4. I know that heavy thing is a true workout for a half ton dodge to pull up my hill by the house. Only checkout in daylight and not being pissed will tell. It was turning over very fast but...- Gigihurt

My ole beast died last night

It turns over very fast as if no compression. no fuel at several of the injectors. Didn't have a chance to investigate much as it was 1 am and I needed...- Gigihurt

Need advice specific to a '94 Ford van or Truck with 2 wheel ABS -spongy brake
Make sure your rear drums are adjusted out. Mine were like that and I checked it all out. That was the last thing I tried, works great now. Look in the last place first and you will always find it right away- Gigihurt
