Hi fellow runners,
This is my 3rd day after getting my 3rd gen 98. Two problems immediately comes to surface.
1. Smell oil burning smoke when I turn the heater on. looks like oil leaks somewhere drops on some parts of exhaust and the resulting smoke comes in through heater. Only a guess at this point from my side. So wanted to check with more experienced runners here and get opinions on what could this be? And how bad the fix will be in terms of money?
2. The rear left spring seems to have lost its strength. Only on a mild off roading today with 5 people in the car on the beach, it seems to have hit two ends together on many occasions. What are the best replacement options for this fix?
3. The tire size. It has 265/70/16 on it now. The truck is all stock, can I get by with 285/75/16 without any modifications?
Looking forward to some input from more experienced members.
Best,
Sam
