But by bleeding the lines, isn't this what agitated the weeping problem. Darned if you do & darned if you don't!:banghead: Dave

undercoating
The real old timers used to spray there vehicles w used motor oil. (UMO) A farmer that I buy hay from has his original equipment from the 50's. he thins his UMO down w D2, just enough so it spays better. He does it every year after hay season is over. I heard storys of guys spraying there cars & driving down dust roads to make the UMO stick better!

Ignition switch won't work all the time. What's wrong with it?
Sometimes it seems my ign won't allow my fan to work. It's been fine lately tho.:pray:I did also hear about not allowing to much weight from keys hanging in the ignition.

undercoating
Agreed! --- Update to the previous post... I've seen some trucks up here w Rhino Liner on the exterior. It looked pretty good actually. If one was to undercoat & do the bottom of the doors, rockers, that would have to be the best & longest protection. Dave

My crank sensor made my tach drop down to nothing & made my truck rattle louder than normal but after a minute or so it went any. It also caused a hard start. When it would hard start the next thing that would happen would be the tach drop thing.If you know the part number I have an extra crank sensor. I bought a new one on EBay it wasn't the right one. It's brand new never installed. $20 bucks plus shipping, Think I have about that in it.Dave- He 351 ve
Maybe too much for a 3.3? What else have you done to it? OK guys, I've been asking if anyone had info on this conversion. Can anyone post a link? Thanks, Dave- 65,0000 Miles..... a Few Questions.....
Yep about the same for me mile wise. I don't need my truck everyday so it took me about 2 1/2 days working a few hours a day. My Bro-in-law had to help me lift & hold the spindles, they are heavy. I had to run & get some oversize sockets, & you need a puller that helped. I also went with Moog on all 4. Gotta have somthng w a grease fitting. Keep 'em greased once they're installed too. Yep, lots of cussing. I was able to work on it & leave my tools for the next tug fest. It's nice to not be pressured in not having to get it done say like work on Monday morning & doing it on the weekend with all the stuff going on that we have to neglect to get 'er dun! It is an involved process! I'd do it again.:thumb1:I don't really have a choice actually. W 65K, your probably OK. Dave- oil growmig and coolant shrinking
Cool! Until it finally starts it seems it's forever too! I had my starter, Denso, down a few weeks back to change my crank sensor, for all the work it does I expected it to be much heavier.- Hard Start?
That should cover it!- You guys think my fuel pressure low???
If you jumped in on the last few posts only I'd have to wonder about you guys too!- Hard Start?
Yep, gauge would help! Keep us posted. Dave- oil growmig and coolant shrinking
So how many times do you bump the key to get ready to fire it over. I don't know, I just do a combination of starting & bumping till it fires. I don't do anything w letting air out of the lines. Inform me guys! Dave- You guys think my fuel pressure low???
Agreed!- aftermarket exhaust
With you I bet you would notice a change!- Reverse switch ?
Funny man!- You guys think my fuel pressure low???
That may be some of your weeping problem too maybe. Whadoyathink? Dave- Pics of me towing things
SaWeet!- oil growmig and coolant shrinking
So what is the recommended way to start a truck then if this is what happens when we open the line at the injector? Just keep bumping the key?Dave- Steering box brace
Nice, the things we learn on this site! Thanks, Dave --- Update to the previous post... I don't really know, that was sorta my question. Since I put all 4 new ball joints & had the front end aligned, it's much better. Dave - Newbie with problems
