JMO413 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 It looks like the clutch master cylinder has been leaking for a long while. I'm guessing your right on that being the electrical problems source. Good looking truck you've got there! What's the plan with it?

I should've taken a picture of the oil that came out because it was OLD looking. At least 15 years since it was last changed. Decided to stay organized and made a list of everything I need to do to the truck to feel comfortable consistently driving it. Some things aren't quite as important but I still wanted to note it. I started underneath the truck and went back to front. The exhaust has some hillbilly repairs on it, and the cat sounds all broken inside so I guess I'll be replacing it. Probably just stick with an OE replacement. The shocks are original and the right side on the rear is leaking. The steering shock is leaking very badly, and the balljoint on my track bar is moving, so I'll need to take care of that before I align it. Next I thoroughly looked under the hood. One of the first things I found wrong with the truck was that the blower motor didn't work. I assumed it was because of the fuse box, or because the motor was broken. I unplugged the motor and got some readings with a multimeter. Strangely enough, when I plugged it back in, the motor kicked in and the fan worked great! I noticed some wiring repairs on the motor side harness, so I'll have to pull back the tape and see what's up. Just for fun I decided to switch over to a/c, and shockingly the compressor kicked in properly and the a/c fan came on as well. Amazing. I wasn't surprised to see the valve cover gasket a little wet. Easy fix. Fingers crossed, only leak I've noticed. Unfortunately I noticed one of the injector plug harnesses was poorly spliced in, with copper being exposed. I don't want that to start shorting if it gets wet under there. Wipers don't wipe, but the squirters do. Yet another electrical issue. Hope you are good at troubleshooting electrical.............you'll get plenty of practice. Nice clean truck.
NEO auto Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Such a nice truck. That interior looks so clean. A new carpet with a set of mats would really set it off.

Pete M Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 if you're lucky you can get use the hose to isolate where the water is coming in. everything and anything that could possibly leak has leaked for someone over the years. the last one I dealt with was a leaky windshield that was dripping in and running inside the A-pillar and then dripped on the floor further down. fortunately that truck didn't have any floor liner so babypowder worked to help backtrack the location.
Pete M Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 you're a pro! now come over here and do all that to my truck
