    What have you done to your square lately??

    Blaming the government for the price of a world commodity is, short sighted, at best. But it's easier to blame a politician than get up to speed with how stuff actually works. And why the fuuk are we introducing politics into "What have you done to your square lately?"

    heater issues

    Is there a discernable temperature difference between the two heater hoses when hot and set to max? If it's a lot, maybe then the core is plugged or the valve is the restriction. Try cardboard in front of radiator.

    What is this?

    I don't think so. If one speed has power, the resistor seems to be getting juice. Whether it is distributing through the various values to give the speeds seems the problem. But no high speed seems its own problem.

    What is this?

    Strictly switching and the speed resistor controls the fan. And good ground. Assuming you have power there to begin with.

    First time replacing intake manifold gaskets

    I use a white paint pen to write on the black NAPA gold or Wix oil filter ends the date and mileage it was installed. This has helped me to remember when.

    Engine won't get up to temp

    Even new thermostats will fail even after testing. Does the IR indicate proper operation? Have you scanned the temp on the heater hoses? Maybe thermal wrap on them will reduce the loss to an acceptable level. Because beyond blocking airflow through the radiator, I have no other cold area tips...

    First time replacing intake manifold gaskets

    Yes. Much easier to turn over with the spark plugs out.

    First time replacing intake manifold gaskets

    While daunting to any first timer, a manifold job is not as precise as is work with most of the rest of the engine. Drain some coolant off before you start so you don't put a bunch of coolant in the oil via the valve train area, like half a gallon at least. That way when the intake comes off it...

    Radiator Leaking

    Corbin clamps for the win. I prefer the wide band style over the wire style, but it beats those damned screw clamps backing off.

    Heater not very hot

    Not sure Sid if reversing the hoses to the heater core would change much, all else being correct and equal. Simply feeling both heater hoses when everything is up to temp and set to make cab heat should show how much heat drop is going on. One hose should be a little cooler than the other, not a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Another thing Doug that occurred to me after reading this is that it's practically impossible to determine the thickness remaining in the material used to make the cooling passages/fins and tanks. Meaning, it's not unheard of to solder one leaky area to only have another paper thin spot decide...

    Springs or Spindles?

    I'm of the opinion that drop spindles are the better way, because it retains the rest of the capacity and geometry of stock. Short or weak springs seems reckless at best. I could be wrong.

    Sliding Window Restoration Tips Please?

    I'm waiting for the single pane version to come back in stock from whoever makes them. I like this better, probably because it's modern.

    HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP

    I wish more guys were slamming 3/4 & 1 tons. I want to lower the c20 some and still keep the usefulness of a truck. I am sick of lifting everything up higher than my decrepitness allows, plus it would be nice to improve handling too. This truck won't be seeing 20's or anything so fancy, but it...
