If your radiator is flowing properly and thermostat is working id lean towards airflow AKA fan clutch or clogged raidiator fins not allowing air flow to get through if you can think about going with an electric cooling fan. Thats what I think at least half the people on this forum have done , I know i have on my last two suvs including the pathy. I recently changed form a cheap dual elecric fan setup to a single taurus 2-speed fan and the cooling system is thanking me she usually stays a couple of notches below the halfway mark , a marked difference from before. I also replaced my raidiator ,but that was 2 years ago. Good luck

Ill take them where are you and how much all that good stuff Im in arkansas 72702 zip

Thanks mws by the way where im at the auto parts store has a plate design for only ten $ more than the tube design from what the labels say the plate fin design is the most efficiant i just wanted to get somones opinion who had exp with auto's because i usually stear clear of them im partial to manual trany this tsuck was just too good of a deal to pass up 90 f250 4x4 big steel flatbed with toolboxes for 500$ its in mint condition the only thing wrong it blew a freeze plug out the rear of the block ill have it fixed this weekend i just want to make sure the trany is haul ready before i pulling with it its not going to be a full time truck anyway ive got my one ton dually for that ijsut wanted this one for the 4x4 and who doesnt want four trucks any way sly

Iwould like to know which tranny cooler is the best design I do alot of pulling with the truck that its going in what i need to know is should i go with the plate and fin design or the tube and fin design the tubed one seems like it would move more fluid while the plate/fin design seems it would cool faster this is not going in my pathy by the way any ideas would be greatly appreciated jason

Thanks guys sounds like they're screwd they want me to do it but i just dont have time oh well thanks anyway

:o Calling 88 who would know about an 96 hardbody 4cyl 4x4 A friend of mine is stuck in austin the mechanic there says their truck is out of time and the valve guides shredded and are all through the motor its a four cyl and i thought that was a belt like ours they are saying it is a chain is this possible the chain jumping time and shredding vavle guides ive never opened up the 4cyl before :confused:

Congrats

I got it cool hope everything goes smoothly :type:

Im in Arkansas where are you here

if you have a 95 rearend why not swap the whole thing and not worry about disassembling the thing till later then at least youd have transportation while you rebuild the LSD one

OK i know that I am gonna get a bunch of ,gods, and crazy baldheaded f#$%er with this one but here goes I have a 91 pathy five speed with an aftermarket class lll hitch and its fair to say that ive probably abused the hell out of it but, i also trust my pathy 100 more mechanicaly more than say my 89 GMC 1ton dually .Granted the dually pulls so much more so easily and handles better under load (max load so far 22,000lbs truck ,trailer,and load )But when i first started my scrap metal buis I used the pathy to pull all of my loads. Now the reason that i bought the 1 ton was to aviod destroying the pathy BUT I have and dont recomend pulled damn near 18,000 with my pathy now Ive pulled trailers all of my life but I would never do that with an autotragic Ive never liked even pulling with a full size truck with auto Any who the pathy is a very capable tow rig just be carefull and no auto tranny my .02 jason

you can use a jack and do it manually with a crowbar but this is what i recomend www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=34542 Its $49.99 US and if not that then go pay the 7-12 dollars wherever you need to because to do it by hand is a PITA just my 2 cents

5-speed or auto?

Got my 91 for $1200 with brand new 31's on her and 200,000 miles and I remember thinking (I wonder if this little thing can do what my old cheby could do ?) THAT and more i continue to be amazed by my pathy she still pretty much stock and i have never been in a situation where she didnt eventually crawl out of with no help and yes i do abuse her :sniff: ive had my winch since july and the only thing that ive been able to do with it besides work is pull other people out of stuff they got into shes just to great ive regularly pulled things with it that most of you on this forum would think i was crazy for and she kept up with my buddies old ford 3/4 ton 4spd ill say it a million times this is true with alot of vehicles with these pathys,good upkeep and there is no limit to what they can do very capable rigs sorry guys lust had to brag on my babay for a second And to answer the question of this post 12 months this month -bounce- Its my pathys b-day

If you rolled her over for any length of time you probably lost the fluid out of your master cyl for the clutch try what the other guys said if that doesnt work star looking for a broken line running down to the clutch slave cyl good luck
