Well the old truck is coming along. The broken frame is fixed and the list of things to do is getting shorter every day!!

Picked up the 1993 4x4 club cab w/ auto for $1800.00 with two functional 7.5' & 8.5' Western straight blades. The list of things to do maily is cosmetic things and a few oil leaks.


Some help from the pros would be appreciated for the following subjects.

(1) soft and melting body mounts (front) They are complete but have little strucual integrity left. The floor is soft but no holes. What is the usual way around this issue. My best idea is from the inside of the cab working or rebuilding from bottom up.

(2) oil leak from the power steering pump area. Replaced the drag link today and while moving the steering wheel (engine off) the power steering fluid came out of the filler tube. Is this normal?

(3) Water in fuel light is on. Replaced the filter but still on. Any ideas??

(4) No overdrive, trans shifts and operated almost flawless. Although under 100% acceleration it jumped out of gear once. Thought it might of been a weak motor mount but can't duplicate the jump while doing a brake torque.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!!!

Im not too sure. Mine doesnt leak but when u turn the wheel with the engine off, load or not it spews a little from the fill tube also.

 

3: Shorted wires in the sensor circuit or when you changed the filter the internal spring in the new one is in such a position that it is shorting out the pins on the sensor.

4: Loads of reasons why OD might not work. Here's a condensed list:
