    Next time overfill the crank case ! If the oil pressure improves its the O-ring seal for the sump tube !

    • @toolshedadventures
      @toolshedadventures 14 дней назад

      Unless there is a reason to suspect low oil pressure then overfilling the sump is not a good idea. Lots of these higher mileage engines are probably running around with lower than spec oil pressure because they are in warm environments and don't see temps like I do which turns oil super thick.

  • @kellyappel3015
    @kellyappel3015 17 дней назад

    Think you went at this all wrong. With your truck's lift, all you needed to do was unbolt the motor mounts, and raise the front of the motor until the pan came out. I did this on mine, and the additional step was to remove the front diff bolts and let that drop a bit. Maybe you'd needed a cheap farbor freight cherry picker, maybe just a beam framed in your ceiling. Would've been cheaper and way faster.

  • @happys104092243

There was some things that I could have done differently to save time but then at some point in the future it would have come back to haunt me. Shops in my area generally don't want to mess around with trucks like mine and will give you quotes just to scare you away. A shop could have possibly done it in less time but at what cost.

    For what reason did you not show the filter at all? There is absolutely NO WAY you didn’t record the most IMPORTANT part of this video (removing the oil pan). On top of that, you didnt even show us the inside of the transmission. As a mechanic of 8 years I’d highly recommend using the OEM gasket as opposed to making your own. Will save you time and you don’t have to go back to re-torque the nuts after 30 min or whatever that meant…. Im really not trying to be a hater but as someone who just purchased this vehicle and just wanted to know what this simple tranny service entailed; i have found myself being taken through a rigamarole of that mid-western jibber jabber 😅

    • @toolshedadventures
      @toolshedadventures Месяц назад

      These pans come from the factory sealed with RTV same as the oil pan and many import vehicles do the same thing. Gaskets can have a tendency to shift or get torn and RTV is more reliable to use as it will seal better in the long term. Old GM trucks used cork gaskets and if they were not changed often they would seep and make more of a mess. Gaskets have come a long ways especially with the rubber ones and generally don't cause much of an issue, but when a manufacturer suggests to use RTV then I will. Regarding the filter there was lost footage and unfortunately its not known until editing time but since its just a normal screw on filter I would figure that if you are tackling doing this job you would be familiar with screw on filter types and just know how to remove and replace.

    • @toolshedadventures
      @toolshedadventures 2 месяца назад

      It will depend on the wiring situation. If its the basic wiring like I have then no its usually really easy to figure and can be something as simple as a fusible link. If you have a more complex setup like the TPIs then it can be a bit more difficult. But these old 80s vehicles were never hard to figure out wiring wise.

    Great video, definitely going to do something like this. My problem with the large top chests is that I don’t like the super long drawers. I saw Husky’s 52” top chest (H52CH8MOD). The top of it is deep with integrated power strips. Granted, it’s $450 and your two 26” boxes are only about $300.

    • @toolshedadventures

      The super long draw fits 4 racks of my primary used wrenches; 2 ratcheting and 2 non-ratcheting. So I don't mind it for that but if I didn't have those it would definitely be an ackward drawer to have.

    Could add a 2x4 frame open at the front then put upper boxes on that. Now you have a small space under the boxes and when there is something on the surface of the main box, the upper drawers can open. This will raise things about 3+ inches, but that shouldn't have too much impact.

    • @toolshedadventures
      @toolshedadventures 3 месяца назад

      Well not sure about 2x4s but you have given me an idea of a way to increase storage again. The drawers don't open because those top boxes have some form of a locking mechanism that when the lid is closed all the drawers are locked so I just need to modify that.

    I connected up an 8KW DC generator to my 1973 400 cu in V-8 and use it during power failures to power my home. I found some fets that would allow me to create a-c current and mounted them in a box inside the car to prevent corrosion. I simply removed the passenger seat (I've been divorced for over 10 years and no longer needed it) and mounted the converter I built where the seat had been, using the same mounting brackets. I turn on the headlights and shine them into my home when using this set up. It helps light the living room and gives me an indicator when I run out of gas or have an issue with operation. My neighbors complained a few times when i used it due to the noise the 400 cu in engine makes, until I let them plug in their fridges during outages.

      Anytime you alter the suspension on a bike you run the risk of changing its handling. How much is to be determined by what you do and the only person who can notice will be you. This bike in particular had its suspension altered and before I put the OE shocks on you could not turn right very sharp without dragging pipes. Burly shocks are IMHO junk and serve zero purpose on a bike.

  • @jawojnicki
    @jawojnicki 7 месяцев назад

    All your testing shows that the main fan was working THE WHOLE TIME If you let the car come up to temp or just turned on the AC switch, you would have seen that only the sub fan was inoperable and this would have greatly reduced your diag time! I'm glad you got there eventually but if anyone is watching this video for help with this issue please do not follow this process! Confirm the relays are good. Jump the load side pins on the fuse box and if both fans run, IT MUST be a control side issue. Test the pos side of the control circuit by KOEO ground the ctrl side pins with a test light ($3 at HFT). If you get a light on 1 ctrl pin on each socket, you KNOW the pos side is good! Run the engine, turn ac on and check continuity between neg battery post and the grd pin on the ctrl side. If you get NO continuity on that pin, you've narrowed your diag down to ONE arm of the circuit in 20 min or less! No trip to the junk yard, no ect swaps, no fuse testing needed Final tip: USUALLY for cars this old, you can get a pdf factory service manual online for 25 bucks or less!

    • @toolshedadventures
      @toolshedadventures 7 месяцев назад

      First you assume the AC in the car was working... it was not. Second you assume it was a temperature in which it wouldn't take long for the car to warm up to temp.. it was not. I then also pointed out in the video through very simplistic means of how to check fans and said they both worked as did the relays and this point it was a control side issue of no power getting somewhere. The rest of the video is going through how I troubleshooted that and why I had to do what I did and in the end is was a break in the wire in the main harness running up the driver fender. I was only able to determine this from doing continuity tests from inside the car to the fuse box and locating the fault. Your methods and my methods will be different in figuring out something, but it does not mean either is right or wrong. Figuring out the problem and finding a solution is the end goal.

    If oil is leaking out it also means air is getting in. If air gets in it will foam and expand and overflow out of the reservoir.

  • @62Cristoforo
    @62Cristoforo 7 месяцев назад

    ATF fluid around the reservoir suggest an overflow. The overflow is usually caused by expansion of air bubbles entrained within the oil itself. The oil doesn’t expand; the air in it does. This creates foamy oil, causing it to boil over. Air gets in to the system through leaks. Most leaks are from worn/crushed/failed O-rings, locates either at the pump, or at the rack. The oil leaks out, and air gets in. Make sure you replace the O-rings with the EXACT size. Oversized O-rings, even by hundredths of an inch, will not fit, risking a cracked hose-to pump fitting when tightening down the bolt.
