Re: Overheating saga..

Hey everyone: I've been slow at posting because well, I'm still at it... Head went in smooth, timing belt, tensioner, water pump thermostat.. everything back together. Put the distributor in at TDC and it started nice. The thing is, it's like 15 degrees after TDC so I assumed it was a tooth off and ...

$50 22r transmission in Arcata

Here's a link to a $50 transmission that came out of the 1983 22r camper. Talked to the guy on the phone, said he doesn't have a truck for it anymore- thought maybe someone wants a 1983 5 speed tranny with under 100K...

Re: Something broken with the *forums*? Post here!

Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3

This is great! My dad and his buddy's always end up with a packard or two in a garage somewhere, or maybe a secret 60s bugatti the wives don't know about.. I grew up around old Indian motorcycles and basements that look like your shed with exciting pieces of reconditioned steel. This build is super ...

Re: Overheating saga..

Radiator was new from the interweb, spectra 2 row. Definitely not the most expensive one available but it was pretty similar to the one that was in there (which worked even though it leaked, just smelled an awful lot) I suppose this could be a bad unit out of the box? bad switch? Thanks for the quic...

Overheating saga..

Hey all, So I have an 83 SR5 all stock everything, OE replacements, Georgia emissions (minimal). Last year in the spring I noticed the radiator was leaking and so I replaced it and the thermostat. Fast forward to August this year, 110 degrees F for 3 weeks and I noticed that the temp gauge was hangi...

WTB: 4AC

My 3AC has a head gasket issue and a light knock so I think it's time for a 4AC swap. If you see one float by you, think of the Caribou in Northern CA!

Re: replacement u-joint for steering shaft

super helpful post- it was a bit tough to press out the joint without ruining the cups so the best route is to get one of these new ones- I was even able to get the spring clips on! thanks @jimcrazy
