For whatever reason I thought you had gotten a new truck. I was wanting to know what junkyard you were finding K2XX's at.

Lol! Nope, no new truck here. Probably not one anywhere in my near future either unless I win the lottery.

Put the summer rims on tonight. But I've gotta do some trimming on the front bumper...

nice wheels.

I thought the front end was way out there... then I see it is the big 2500 front end.

 

I wonder if those years casually go to 50 years old. Hanging at the truck stop with the old guys. :)

It has a 4" spindle lift which pushes the front track width out about 2"...

Tis the season. I mounted and balanced my new Hankooks yesterday, but decided against throwing the wheels on the truck just yet. Being a lifelong resident of MA, I know that temps below 40° and large amounts of snow are very possible up until mid April. We've got fluke snow in May and June before though.

 

I took the '74 RD350 2-stroker to the auto parts store today. Saved the Blizzaks from burning up in the 76° warmth we had. Was friggin GREAT!!

 

Here we go with upload issues again. :banghead: Back to Photobucket I go ...

Pulled the dash vents out of the truck today so I could clean the 240k miles of dust off of them. The interior repair continues...

Do your best to clean as deep as possible with whatever you're using. I used a moist towel with a bit of bleach, and I think I also changed out the filters around the same time. As for the vents themselves I soaked them in water with dish soap and gave them a good cleaning.

 

I just cleaned the interior last weekend but it was standard stuff.

 

My goal for March is to replace the cracked windshield and maybe even tint the driver and passenger side windows (match the test of the oem tint).

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
