This video does a perfect job demonstrating just how easy these trucks are to work on, and how much you can accomplish doing little projects here and there! We'll have to find you a crew cab ASAP haha
K if they are so easy to work on tell me what’s wrong with mine I had an overcharging problem that was boiling the water out of the battery then it smoked something in the dash then a half mile later truck quit I just finished deleting the fuseable links and the truck will turn over like nobody’s business but won’t fire up it’s not getting fuel for some reason will start with starting fluid but I’m not a fan of doing that
You need to give raptor liner a try. Set the gun by the following. Bottom out the nozzle out, turn it out four full turns. Test the pattern, adjust from there
@@VBELTandSON I have an 89 Cummins that was overcharging the battery and boiling the water out I didn’t know that was the problem at the time then it smoked something in the dash and a half mile later died it would turn over but no start everybody said fuseable links so I deleted them and still have the same issue crank but no start I’m sure it’s probably a solenoid or something any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated
No, it's everywhere up and down the whole state. It just that the minority of reasonable people are scattered too thin, mostly living outside of the built up urban areas. Maybe it's too much sun................I don't know, I'd leave if I could afford to.
The hype on the exhaust had me cracking up lol. Wish you'd keep it just to mess ar und with every now and then lmao. Really hoping you can get a crew cab going.
Atleast you did the bedliner instead of the stainless steel bed rail caps,I get tired of seeing it on trucks but that being said if I ever get a gm square body truck especially the 74-80 I'd probably put a set of them on it with stake pocket holes or maybe the solid ones but then that makes it harder to strap stuff down in the bed, because I've yet to own a 70's gm square body truck with somewhat straightish bedrails!!
I've got a '97 12 valve w/ the NV4500, 3rd gear syncro needs to be replaced, so might as well do all of them. Which leads to the question; "why overhaul when I can upgrade?'' However, I've got the DDX 5spd manual HD trans paired with the DHG 241HD transfer case, so besides probably having to get both driveshafts redone, is it possible to keep the 241HD and use it w/ a G56? And, what about the gearing ratios in the front and rear axles? What needs to be considered when swapping transmissions?
Bad ass truck Sam! To bad I’m on the other side of the country (Florida). Don’t see many of those around anymore. I actually have a 93 Silverado that runs and drives daily. Glad to see someone younger than me that appreciates the older vehicles.
R12 fittings are threaded and 134A are the quick connect type. If it had the quick connect type a previous owner likely "converted" it with adapters. The problem, as we all know, 134A isn't as efficient as 12. If they didn't change the condenser and orifice then the performance will suffer.
My first gen has a nice flat bed with locking tool boxes and auxiliary fuel tank. You have way more bed room and they are damn near indestructible. I’ve been rear ended and it didn’t leave a scratch on my truck…. The car was totaled though. The factory first gen bed is super weak they are always bent to shit.
From running a welding bed and a flatbed I would say you don’t really have to worry about things falling off with a good deck. You can always add sides to it if needed and you have way more space and ease of access compared to a regular pickup bed. Plus don’t have to worry about too much damage happening to your rear if you get hit
I wouldn't take 10 g's for my 93, but then dad bought it new and it's a 5 sp manmission. If I had the extra money and you weren't so far away from Pa I would buy it for my daughter
R12 definitely cools better I run it if I can, just mentioning since you said something about gauges, there is definitely a difference in them. With 134 you really need a different condenser and only need about 80% of the Freon charge.
That’s great… I would have bought it if it didn’t. That would have made me a good work truck with a flat bed on the back of it. Like watching video we’re you bring back trucks from the dead and back to life. Keep up the good work👍🏻
