Immediately thought of Patrick haha
LOL I love it! Thanks my man!
As in, no piggyback yet? Ye olde AFM Mazda MX6 mod will be a nice temporary solution.
Replaced a few water lines with 3/8 hose that I'd been waiting for. Also got a lead on some 95 4Runner V6 S13WB calipers and a 1 1/16 brake master. Gonna redo the whole brake system before registration time.
Got my lower radiator hose installed.
null_zpsd0c45622 by cobblewagen, on FlickrIt won't hold where it connects to the half hose on the left, so I have to cut a small piece of the old hardpipe to slip between them for a better solid connection.

null_zpsf8865b50 by cobblewagen, on FlickrPut coolant in the truck and this little ****er started leaking. This is the coolant pipe that runs under the manifold from the thermostat towards the rear heater (back of the block)
null_zps5c1f2536 by cobblewagen, on FlickrThere was no o ring, instead, silicone. I had to remove the front right wheel, reach up in there and scrape the old stuff off with a flathead screwdriver and a razor blade. It was not fun. I went down to my buddy John's shop, pulled another coolant hardpipe from a 22RE manifold, and took the O-ring.
null_zpsa22b757b by cobblewagen, on FlickrI was able to use that o-ring to find a suitable replacement.

Yeah It must be the angle. It clears with a few inches to spare at it's closest point.

The truck isn't staying running. It isn't because the O2 isn't there, and I know everything is hooked up properly.
Testing the fuel pump using the diagnostic port on the side of fusebox showed that fuel delivery was the issue.
Pulled the fuel pump to see what the fuss is about in there.

Spent at least two hours cleaning the tank out. Replacement fuel pump:

That was one nasty mess in the tank! No wonder it wouldn't stay running, with all those chunks being pulled up against the inlet and shutting off the flow. Glad to see you got her running good!

It's actually coming straight out of the back of the turbo. There is no downpipe yet. The exhaust will likely be 2.5" back, high flow cat, and simple catback with a dump before the axle.
Haha well considering it's only covered 18 miles since 2009... probably a lot better!What the gas mileage difference now?
Especially with that screen missing. Can't believe how bad it was. You should have seen the rust corrosion (I forgot, CA rust isn't like real rust). Took several washes out with water and air drying to clear that out.
Thanks Bob!
On another note, I did a CarFax report on the truck. Turns out I'm the 4th owner. Makes me wonder how the hell a truck of this age managed to avoid collision with 3 other owners. Also, the truck's last recorded odometer mileage was in 2006, at 259,000. It was last registered in 2009. It's clear from the emissions tests that whoever last smogged it did not do it legally. This thing was failing smog tests left and right back then.
When I picked it up at 264,584, I thought it had only been sitting for 3 years. If it only covered 5k between 2006-2009, and then sat from 2009-2012, this thing has 6 years of sitting under it's belt.
The truck hit 200k in 1995!!!!

LOL I just wrote a paper about her stupid ass, too! How relevant. Except my truck doesn't look as beat as she does :lmao:
So this truck had an old AIWA double din stereo in it, dated October 2001. The tires also from that time... looks like someone spent a few dollars for parts back in late 2001.
My friend John sold his 96 T100 5spd 4x4 last weekend and took out his Alpine radio. He was gonna give the buyer the radio, but I kinda threw a wrench in between the spokes of that deal lol.
Here's how... John didn't like the Alpine because the buttons were too small. Says he hates using the damn thing because he's got big fingers and the screen is too bright. I told him I would buy it off of him if he's willing to tell the buyer of the truck that it didn't work.
Well he didn't let me buy it from him. He said if he was going to keep it, he would put it in his 85 solid axle pickup (which he turned into a turbo and swapped in an R151F). Then he saw my AIWA in the truck, with it's big buttons and dim display.
Long story short, he likes his new radio and I sure as hell like mine. In fact, it's the exact same model as the one in my 3rd gen. It even has the exact same iPod cable. Looks like I need another old iPod to leave in the glovebox. I also need to buy another DIN pocket but right now I don't care.
Any Pearl Jam fans?

null_zps9580e14d by cobblewagen, on FlickrAlso had to change the 5/8" line from the oil cooler. Started leaking like crazy right after the video of the first start. A couple pics with my brother's (cool brother, not the same dipshit who can't fix his truck) Porsche Carrera 4S. Only has 25k on the ODO.

I'm sorry, did you say something about a truck you were working on? Do you have any pictures of it? What? There's something behind the Porsche?
