starting with basics on this truck..i just got it and only drove it home and around the block.
it sat for at least 2 yrs. just got gauges working and im at @ 250k. truck started right off and drove nice.. no smoke.
only issue was a hard shift and no speedo.. found out fuse # 8 was blown and speedo works not sure about shifting.
fixing fule lines and new fuel filter.. no sure i got right one as there is not connector on the bottom to hook up that one fitting. ( i assume its a water sensor)
So i am about to do oil change and pull off radiator cap. all kinds of oil and its low... (small leak on pass side of radiator where tranny line connects, radiator is new aluminum one)
pull off the overflow bottle and its got an inch of oil on top.. ***... I about crapped my pants.
NOW what.. i am flushing all kinds of sludge out of the radiator and have to get a kit to do a preston flush.
PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A GOOD FIX OR THIS IS NOT AS BAD AS I THINK.. Im worried the head gaskets are bad BUT NO WATER IN OIL.... ??
ANY DIRECTION IS HELPFUL!!
