So I checked the connection and it seemed fine (unless it was the wrong one or something) but I also checked my coolant reservoir and it looks like there’s Oil in the coolant. It’s pretty dark and merky like almost brown instead of the regular coolant color. So idk what to do now because this problem is a lot worse than I thought.

It’s the one on the left, I thought that symbol was oil temp but I’ll look at the owners manual.

Recently been having a really weird issue, the light for my coolant temp will flicker on and off whenever I turn the steering wheel to the right. I have the base model so there’s no gauge for the temp and it’s just the light, but I have an aftermarket gauge installed and it’s saying that my temp is fine. I had to drive 400 miles with the light turning on every time I turn right, and towards the end of the trip it started flashing more, but my oil level was fine and everything and I had to drive home and nothing seemed really wrong with the truck. Started noticing this after I changed the oil and slightly overfilled, but I drained some of the oil out and it’s fine now. Not sure if overfilling my engine caused this, I was accidentally driving around for like a week with my oil slightly above the fill line without realizing until I fixed that. But now when I was looking at the coolant censors I realized I might have Oil in my coolant reservoir. The coolant is really merky and kinda brownish, and when I took the cap off the drops from it look oily. Where should I go from here because I use my truck as my daily and I’ve never had an issue like this. had a fun time tho driving on the beach and dunes and then 200 miles back home today but I hope nothings wrong with my manche.

Yeah I think I’m just going to go down to either 30 or 31in tires, I don’t like the 33s enough to want to re gear to keep them. when I put the 33s on I never changed the speedo so it’s always a couple mph off

I don’t really know very much about gearing an all that so I need some help. I have an 4wd 89 Comanche with 33in tires, the previous owner says it has a Ford 8.8 rear end and new Yukon 3:73 gearing, it’s also an AX-15 manual. I’ve noticed it’s really slow uphills and not very good off-road uphill, so do I need to re gear? With the 8.8 rear end would 4.10 gears fit? Would I need to re hear front and back? Could I just run smaller tires? I don’t totally need 33s and would rather have less clearance but better uphill and it would be easier to do new tires than new gears?
