    Pics of your 2nd gen ?

    People do not fear, the corndog is here:crazy: What started as a leaking freeze plug has ended in a total restoration. After the freeze plug was replaced the truck was no more leaking liquid so it was time to do a tune up and to mount a thermostat. Because it is hot here, year-round it is...

    This is fantastic! I have a mailing address in Miami, you have an idea if something is on the way from Miami from you how long it would take?

    Ok, thank you for the tips. Just wait please for the tube, we have a Napa here, you never know they have it off the shelve... They had the thermostat. Edit: 25$? wow, that opens options! Is that for the fuel injection I have? Ok, this has made my evening:-). First of all I will try it with...

    Thank you for your reply! The corrosion is really at the thinnest part of the ridge, direction of the engine, not to the radiator side. I think I made a few mistakes. I must say that this is my first experience working on a car. The first mistake I made is that I've used only on one...

    I do wonder, does the steel sleeve seal off on the flange which is corroded or also on the thermostat itself? This is a picture pipe, which comes on top of the thermostat. https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=3582843&cc=1095746 What I do see in this new tube, it has a flange...

    Hello everyone, Sorry to be so long you did not hear from me, some personal problems. First and foremost, thank you for the offer Merc225hp! I have the truck still with me. I made a deal with the seller, $ 2,500, wich is really not a lot of money for the island, because you can not...

    And I greatly appreciate your input sir! In the worst case, do you have an idea what a reconditioned engine cost? The problem is that when the motor should be machined this can not be done here. I know I can buy in America a much better car for this amount, however, It costs $ 4,000 on...

    ok, I'll see where I can get a compression test. Meanwhile, it was possible to open the manual, I have some reading to do:naughty:

    A compression test is difficult over here. On the other hand, there are no signs of a bad compression, starts great, runs great, no blue, black or white. Idles perfect. I have read the treads of the planum gasket, no signs that this gasket would be bad. Thank you for the link to the...

    Thank you for the welcome. It is a 2wd and almost no rust what is very unusual for here. Indeed, oil pan leakage. They are indeed all small things, but the question is, what's next. The strange thing is that the engine runs beautifully, starts with a tap of the key. I'm not a mechanic but...

    Hello MagSport, Thank you for your answer! I read a lot tonight and learned that it will indeed be the freeze plug behind the engine mount. I do not know what to do, valve cover leaks, sump leakage, no thermostat, radiator replacement, car needs to be repainted ... Gearbox has just...

    Some additional information, the truck has 88,000 miles and the cooling system is filled with water by the previous owner, when I look at the temperature gauge, it seems that the thermostat is out.
