ratty

Thanks. I did a multimeter test with the new alternator in. My battery was at 14.something ideling. Good to know about oil pressure. Guess it wasn’t working right before. Ive read a lot about operating temps. Never went above 210 with the new radiator + fan kit. Is it normal for voltage to fluxuate so mich while running lights, ac, and other electronics? I noticed while using the blinker, the needle bounces like an 8th of an inch. I got a new powermaster 140amp and my battery is a couple months old. A new north star group 34.

Hello again. I’m not sure if my gauges are working better with a new ground or if there’s something going on. When I’m at idle my oil pressure is at 20 and at highway speeds it’s at 60/65. Used to be at 40 at idle and a little higher at highway speeds. My battery gauge now dips anytime I have blinkers on, ac on headlights etc. from 14 to 10/12. Used to stay at 14. Just replaced the alternator and recharged my battery because it died last week due to the bad alternator. Temp now rises to 220 and keeps climbing the longer I’m at idle. I shut the truck off once it gets around 240 (maybe a little higher). I have a new radiator and new electric fans. Used to run below 210 and never got above 210 a couple weeks ago with the new radiator and fans. Thanks for any help.

Whoops .. Old habit haha. This is my first truck.

I'll have to find the other ends in the morning. I found a wire that was left tucked into some hole the other day by the gas tank. Ran up to the map sensor and was just tied around some hose.. Finding so many useless surprises. Yeah. This car actually used to have hijackers. Looking at pictures the kit comes with some small tubing like that...

I have no idea. Bought it pretty recently.

I found these lines while under the truck today. They look like brake lines. Not sure if I still need them or if they're old. They are vacuum lines I'm pretty sure. They run up by the gas tank. Thanks. There are two lines one dangling above each rear tire.

Good info. Thanks. I have a lot to do still.

I'm slowly getting to it all. These old wires are a pain.

Thanks. I'll try this.

I have an 88 4.0 with AC and I'm having a strange issue. When the volume is up on my radio, and I switch the AC on or off or when I switch the climate control from AC to vent, there is a popping sound in my speakers. It doesn't matter if I'm on FM or AM. Happens all the time. So far I've checked the grounds and it looks fine. Was thinking it could be the HVAC or blower motor. Have been hearing some revving sound coming from under the dash when I accelerate and my AC is on too.

Thanks.

Seems like I'm going to have to.

Yeah. There are 5 holes and I only have 2 of the metal clips that surround the holes to keep the screws tight. I'm not exactly sure what they're called, but I'm pretty sure they're clips..

Does anyone know where I can find clips that fit on this hub? I can't find them anywhere. Or if you have some lying around... Thanks.

Thanks for your help! I've never heard of Search Tempest before that's pretty cool. I think I found one in Denver I'm going to pick up in the next couple days.

Hello. I’m looking for a pop up camper. I have an extended bed. Currently in Los Angeles, but I’m willing to travel pretty much anywhere to get one. Me and my girlfriend are leaving to do a cross country trip so I can come to you! Thanks.

I'll try. Thanks.

No. It's mostly during acceleration, going straight, from stopped.

I've been getting this crunchy sound when I accelerate from a stopped position or when I turn. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't sound like a grinding. More like if you cracked your back or knuckles sound. I can feel it too when I'm driving. It's not too loud, sort of muffled. I checked my u-joints and they're still good, I got new tie rods and bushings too. I don't even know where to look next. Thanks. Figured it out: Turns out my trans mount was bad which was making the exhaust pipe hit the trans bracket when I accelerated.

Good point!

I'm actually embarrassed to say, but my negative battery cable wasn't snug enough...

I figured it out. I'm just an idiot. Thanks

Tried it in neutral and still nothing

Thanks haha
