Threw in a punisher towing valve body and a completely rebuild rear end with 4.56s over the weekend, truck feels great! EXCEPT this tranny issue I've been facing. Before the punisher, reverse would be pretty hard when the truck was cold (would be alleviated with a quick bump to drive first) and 1-2n...

What would you assume if when performing the block test when cold, I could get the fluid to turn a darker, slightly greenish tinge of blue? could I have a minor head gasket leak when cold, but upon warmup it deals? What's a completely conclusive do it yourself test?

Will do, also did a block test that came up completely negative, so I don't think I have a head gasket problem (thank the lord)

What's the motor in that thing? That mileage is awesome!

Just popped the cap and checked for bubbles, It was a little hard to tell but I think all I saw was circulation, not really and burbling

Not really no. My main fear is the slight sweet smell upon startup, as well as the little bit of a rough idle that goes away once the trucks warm. My truck also has a stock oil cooler, that I've heard can cause some coolant in the oil as well. I've even heard that if a trucks running rich it can sme...

Alright cool, thanks guys. Trucks never overheated (that I know of) so I'm hoping worst case scenario, I can get away with new gaskets and maybe a head resurface. The thing did just roll 170k though

Cool, thanks dude! How likely am I to blow coolant out of the radiator everywhere haha?

Thinking I might be losing my head gaskets. What's your guys recommendation to check for a head gasket leak? This things starting to idle alittle rough and steam and smell sweet on startup, runs perfect when it's warm though. No oil in the coolant or vice versa. Might be loosing the tiniest bit of c...

What wheels are those? I dig them! Cool little truck.

What happened to your 5 spokes? Bronco looks good!

Just curious, how does everyone set up their spindle nuts for the dual 4 prong setup? Torque wise,I've seen a million different recomendations. I ended up doing 50ft lbs to seat, then backed off about 90 degrees and torqued the outer to 150, but my front end seems alittle noisy. Also, has anyone eve...

Those wheels look killer dude! I've been debating those same ones, and you might've just sold me

C'mon, we all know the walkers took the cake for cleanest wheel on this truck.. Haha all jokes aside, looks great!

Anyone have any idea what all I need to get my A/C working? The guy who owned it before me must've blown the compressor because it was just replaced with an idler pulley. I have all the hoses and everything else, should I just have to get a new compressor, hook everything up, and give it a recharge?...

Oh god, it makes me cringe to think of you slicing up that pristine bed haha, bedsides will look rad though! It's pretty funny looking at your original post and your description of what you wanted the truck to be..

Wash and wax Wednesday? Haha looks great Tony

Interested to see what you have up your sleeve Tony.. Glws dude!

Any idea who made those radius arms?

Throttle body? That's alot of gunk and grime and oil residue.. Might be worth checking out the pcv valve, mine was so clogged it couldnt ever move and I had oil in the intake tubes and throttle body
