are you getting anything out of the coil? it may be your coil.

what 88 said, that's what it looks like to me. it's ok/normal. don't worry about it....

I can see you are frustrated but you gotta give Jim a break (health/new job) and I'm sure he is doing best he can... It'll be up eventually, you'll get notice via e.

woof, woof.....

Hello!
-
I think the search method finally paid off for me on this one...
I was just about to start a new post asking about a hissing noise around the rear passinger tire... I was fixing a flat the other day in the 90deg. heat with the wife and kids in the truck enjoying the nice cool A/C when I noticed a strange hissing noise... The tire was already flat so I kinda figured that wasn't the problem/sound. When I had my wife kill the truck the hissing instantly stopped.
SOOO, This IS the fuel pump right? Nothing to be worried about...?
What you describe could also be an exhaust leak. I had one that sounded just like that on my 89.

oh, thanks, I see it.

I don't know where you guys are from but an open thermo around these winters, you'll never reach operating temps. Believe me, my f150 was that way for a while. In the summer you really could cook your engine if there isn't enough air flow to the rad, because you may never let the rad do it's job with an open coolant flow. On the other hand, a lot of construction machinery around here runs without thermos in the summer, but they are mainly in the open on in a traffic corque.
-
Also, sometimes after market thermos do not work worth of crap. May want to splurge at the stealer if you really think it's the thermo. To check thermo, you can stick it in a pan of water, heat the water while monitoring the temo of H2O with a thermometer. it should "pop" open when it reaches the designated temp (should be stamped on thermo's lip)

oooh, too much crossthreading. i answered on one of them...

Just sitting there and idleing it may get a bit hot. How is it while driving?
If you fill your overflow and drive around the rad should burp itself and top of from the reservoir but you want to help it as much as possible by filling till the fluid runs out the little screw (after loosening) in the top house. Just make sure the res doesn't run dry.... That's how I've always have done it and my junk is all g.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm really cuz i got a raging thermostat problem... This is my third one the first was fine the other 2 are brand new?
What do you mean by rageing?
-
thanks sw. where are these diff vents located exactly? I just had surgey and can't go and lay down and look.
and you mean your vents go under the triangular windows? and did you drill in the body to get them up there?
-
its really not hard to do at all, i did it with abosolutley no knowledge of what i was doing at the time.
eggzactly!

Mine sits really low. It's about 1/4 of the way most of the time, and never gets past 1/3. Maybe my T-stat is opening early/stuck open?
If that's the case, what would be the negative effects it could have on my Pathy?
If it's open, you could really cook that thinkg. If you see your gauge rise high get some air onto your rad. -- drive. Otherwise should be Ok but maybe not at highest efficiency which is about 1/2 way to hot.

When I did mine, I ignored TDC (which is where those little marks line up on the housing) and simply marked the pulley's and timing belt with a dot of white-out or similar stuff. You can even replace the timing belt this way as long as you transfer the marks from the old belt to the new before you align it and slip it on. As long as you are careful, you should be ok.
if you do it this way, count the teeth on the belt between your markings; belts do stretch you know. It is so much easier if you hit TDC though. I've been through this before many times....
-
Yup, you are on the right track. I'd get the engine TDC before taking the belt off. That should ease the procedure.
-
yes & its a wise move
tell us more.
-
that's about right on the temp gauge though; mine warms up pretty fast, it's freakin hot right now too.

yeah I fabbed those up ...
it's not as hard to do as you think, and even if you dont have access to a tubing bender, you can buy prefabbed bends in all different radius' and thickness' ... you only have to be a marginal welder in order to do these things your self ...
How many frame attachment points do you have there. Could you by any chance take a close up of those.
Thanks

Ha, that's funny, my tk is just the opposite. the front end is higher then the rear end and it does lean a bit toward the passengers rear. It's my rear springs though. worn out. no time for that project right now...
