Looks good. I always used whatever oil of anything I had available. Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector, Marvel, any brand or type of lubricating oil that was handy when I was working on any vehicle. I tried Fluid Film, but I thought the nasty smelling Amsoil held up better

We need a definitive parts list with links for installing a fuel pressure gauge. Kind of like the Feed the Beast instructions. I have a small pile of parts that I hope has everything I need. If I ever get to work on the truck again

My 1968 Camper Special had power steering. I don't remember much about it. I swapped from the 6 cylinder to a 327. It had a granny 4 speed.

I was thinking it worked the other way on the 1989. That, if you pulled the plug, it would cycle longer. But that's been since about 1993 or so that I had that issue. Definitely before we had the 1995 Tahoe. At that time it was the only GMT400 diesel we had.

Seems to.me, I had an issue there on the 1989. That unplugging that sensor told the truck it was cold and let things work right until something was fixed. There's probably a thread about it on.one of the forums. That probably would have been the diesel page back then.

I'm not near so kind. Just load test the damn batteries and I will buy them or not. I've only had 2 people balk at load testing before buying. And that was quite a while ago. I think anymore counter people are used to crap parts. They hear about them all day long. Every day

If you bend up buying new batteries, have them load tested before buying. New doesn't equal good. I've rejected a lot of batteries. At Rural King, they ended up returning a whole pallet of bad, new batteries. That was one time I forgot to load test before buying. I drove 45 miles home...

Was there a temperature sensor on the passenger side of my 1989 that caused a similar issue? It seems like it went bad or something and caused a similar issue.

The problem being is, we don't have a clue as to how to go about getting her to the help she needs. I'm guessing she won't be receptive to any urging or advice. We would do what we could to help her. Nobody wants to see her put her kids through what she went through. Or to see her...

That seems too thin

I've heard of blowing them out with compression some times working. If it's loose and just not pulling out. Spray some good lube on it, put a rag or 2 over it and turn.the engine over. I don't know the downside of this method. I'd let others chime in before attempting this.

A beautiful dog

She commented that it was the first time she was ever done Christmas shopping that soon before Christmas. We did what emergency shopping we could do, so they had something to open for the 2 Christmas birthdays and Christmas gifts. She said today that the grandson's pos girlfriend saw fit to...

Good / bad story and a nice pup. Sorry for the original owner to lose a nice dog. Too bad He didn't lose the neighbor instead. A while back there was a 90 year old that was trying to give a young lab away, if my situation wasn't as it is, we would have take the dog and brought it back for...

You could always add a Webasto or similar.
