    Ticking on deceleration in time with speedometer wobble

    Hello, I've noticed a new ticking noise in my truck while driving it around today. The tick is a remarkably similar sound to a blown exhaust manifold on a gas truck, but engine RPM has no effect. I couldn't get a video with the sound, the cab is too noisy with my tore up shifter boots. As I...

    Starter clicking 10-15 times then powers down whole truck for 30 seconds

    Got my truck all back together and now I’m trying to crank it over to get the air out and it won’t crank.

    Where to find info on air conditioning install?

    I've got what I think is every part needed for a/c off of a parts truck, but I can't really find any info on adding a/c to the truck when it didn't come with it.
