    Fuel system croaks like a bullfrog

    97 d-1 a-evap - Fuel Pump replaced 3 years, 25,000 miles ago with full OEM assembly. When I key "on", the pump hums, and builds pressure. As the pump shuts off, before I hit the starter, the truck makes a burp, or a squeak, more like a honk, as the fuel system gets fully pressurized. Only...

    Steel Wheel Rust

    After waiting 5 years for my tires to wear out, I've got 4 new 245-75s and 4 new black NATOs in the garage. My wife sez (she's pretty astute) "We should smear some bacon grease or something on those wheels so they don't rust away - Ask your internet-garage buddies what they do." This truck...

    Oil pan ? Sump gasket - A cautionary tale.

    I know, I know blah blah blah - I'm posting so no one else goes through this. About 4 years ago the oil pressure light began to flicker so I cleaned out the sump and screen. Against ALL advice I used a cork gasket supplied by one of the larger Rover specialty parts suppliers. This weekend I...
