Got my heater to work. This truck probably hasn't had the heater working in 20 years

. Never worked while I've owned it and it never worked for the PO. Pulled my glove box out and noticed that the controls where just unplugged. Plugged everything up and got a nice loud hum from the fan!. Woohoo!. Then I got some fittings for the intake/waterpump and hooked her all up and it turned out the heater core was busted. Ordered one from Oriellys and it was to big. Returned it and got one from Auto-zone. Then while I was screwing it on the core got punctured by the screws that hold it in place!

So took that back and got another one. Then after grinding the mounting screws down I put her back together and I now have HEAT! Did all this without having to drop the fender or wheel well(Skinny hands/arms and a lot of patience)......... But I did leave 2 bolts off so I can easily take it off again later.

Then after seeing this I got a vacuum and sucked out all the leaves out of the cab/vents.

Now when the weathers like this I can be nice and cozy!

I fixed a hood that wouldn't shut, and they don't look half bad!

Sunday, I was going to change trim rings and decided I would run it like this for a few days.

It would look good dropped about 2'' front and rear.

ryanroo · 03-12-2013, 11:52 PM

I think that looks sweet!

TexasSteve · 03-13-2013, 12:01 AM

I installed a Volante CAI today. And scribed off a piece of clear Lexan to redo the top from the Volante piece into a clear window, just for kicks. I had the piece of Lexan laying around so I figured why not?

Next up? Exhaust!

Last week was a new single DIN CD deck withe the adapter mount that has a small pocket underneath the deck so it doesn't just look like a "wrong-sized" stereo floating there in a flat piece of plastic.

VWNate1 · 03-13-2013, 08:17 AM

Electrolytic De Rusting .

I'd hoped the poster of this would flesh it out a bit , what is the solution mix ,anoeds and so on......

I'd like to try this .

TIA ,

cantcode86 · 03-13-2013, 10:46 AM

Nate, Google it. You can find all kinds of videos and write ups. I remember see something on this before but never saw any real results till now. I was looking to see if that person would come back with some tips but who knows. It doesn't look like a great process but I definitely could find some uses for it.

mud.man.rj · 03-13-2013, 12:01 PM

Well Paws72, I think it looks a bit sinister the way it sits now, without the trim rings.

Thats got a mean Nascar look to it with the big lettering on the tires. I think a 6" drop would look sweet.

new Fel pro one piece oil pan gasket installed today. hopefully no more leaks. It was a gusher before with the old worn out cork gasket that was in there.
