    Je ne sais plus ou demander

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. To clean? I am unsure about opening, as I think you are asking. I would use an electrical spray cleaner and then let dry for a day or two. Of course, make sure no electrical current is flowing through it.

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    It got deeper than I like to do in my driveway BUT it is a 2wd and dropping the oil pan was very easy and it was all very obvious once I could see it. The weird thing was.....I used my mechanic's stethoscope at both valve covers at the top and at the timing cover and at the bottom. No odd...

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Turns out that on this engine, I found two contributing factors when I removed the oil pan. First thing I noticed was plastic/teflon pieces trapped in the pickup tube screen. Then I saw that one of the guides, driver's side chain, had come apart, where the pieces came from, but also the chain...

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Recently I was working on a 2010 F150 5.4 with a fluttering oil pressure needle on my mechanical gauge from my tool box. I wanted to see what it would say/do while driving. I went to my local O'Reilly's and they did not have extended lines to attach and read the oil pressure, in the cab while...

    Well, then until you get the owner's manual, just make sure you got lights at night and that the "0" turns them off thru the day. I have a different switch. My girl would say that the problem here is that the truck is "RED".

    The dome override is to either allow the dome light to come on when you open the door or keep it turned off when you open the door, IIRC.....Secret Agent stuff. I do not see an "auto" setting, so I do not think they will come on when gets dark enough because it likely has no daylight sensor...

    Yep, that's what rust free GMT800's look like in Oregon. Have fun and please post more pics, all around, interior and engine bay. Even underneath to show off that frame.

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Ok, this morning got to work on a relatively easy, for me, older 1977 square body K10 4x4 manual transmission with a 5.7 Quadrajet carb. I had talked him thru his DIY timing chain replacement. His new exhaust. His carb rebuild and new choke thermostat install and choke pull off. New master...
