I have pics, but first a write up. To remove the exhaust manifold and turbo together. The water jacket has to be removed first. There is no other way than this. First remove all but 2 top nuts on the exhaust manifold. I left a few threads on the 2 top nuts to have enough to pull the exhaust...

Worked on it for 5 hours today. Removed the turbo, intake and exhaust manifold, thermostat housing. The bolts that connect the turbo to the exhaust manifold sucked. Broke one bolt completely. The front/right bolt is impossible to get at. The nut was stripped. Had to remove the...

BOTH. The bolts on the top of the turbo suck! MORE PB! Gotta get the kid ready and gotta head off to work. The major stuff comes off tomorrow and will have pics.

I have read, read and re-read the forums and TMs. Clinto's write up was well done! I have learned alot and it is my turn to pay the favors forward. The PB Blaster has been doing it's magic. I start tear down today and will accompany with pics. Josh

NOW WE ARE TALKIN!!!!!!! Thank you for all the info! I really appreciate it! Most importantly, thanks for the support!

Again, not looking to buy, looking to fabricate.. thanks for the intel ksm715

I can get one, but I'd like to make a durable one. And yes, cabin fever has set in!

Does anyone have pictures and specs of head bolt wrenches they made? I am about to embark on a the quest for a less leak truck.

I am about to start on the head gaskets this week. I will make sure I take A LOT of PICS step by step. I am going to to remove everything that pretty much has a gasket/seal. WISH ME LUCK!

I am a purist.... I like the Bug Ugly Fun Fu@&er the way I got her. There are 2 speeds, slow and stop. There is one look....Ugly and it's beautiful!

1. No leaks anywhere! Take it for a test drive, get it hot. When you park it, check under the bell housing to see if there are oil spots...If so you have a bad rear main. Not terribly hard to replace. Research about spider cracking in these motors. 2. Make sure all the electrics work...

Welcome from Northfield, OH....There are a few other members in the neighborhood.

That guy Jacques was on Tank Overhaul a couple of times...Had over 200 tanks....Priceless collection. (sigh) There's another sad story like Jaques.. A museum owner in Hubbard, Ohio passed away and a guy from Florida bought the collection for 5 million...Was worth way more than that. Friends...

GOOD DEAL! brake lights work...it drives..

Little trick I had to learn the hard way...Put a little tool oil inside the air switch. It frees up that diaphram that has been sitting for however many years. Might as well get yourself a turn signal relay too!

Highly unlikely it was deployed to this conflict. Those that went were usually disposed of there (or as some have observed as a large contract disposal that did not go through GL). I was lucky to find a us customs pre-clearance ticket from Kuwait to USA stamped Operation Iraqi Freedom, yes...

Thanks fellas! Dabtl, I saw your posts on the remote reservoir topic. Excellent ideas! I feel better that I am on the right track with my thinking. I do think the vacuum effect is causing a hard pedal and the brake light not to function. Am I incorrect to think this? Is there a...

Yeah keep them peeled! Mom would love a new ashtray! :wink:
