82 Ford F-100 speedometer and heater control fix?
It's time to fix a few issues with the 82 Ford F-100.
Ever since I bought the truck, the speedometer has never
worked right. And the heater controls didn't work either.
I hope that I can fix it with some parts from the junkyard.

I've had enough of this carburetor. It's time to be unburden by what has been. So here's a video on what it takes to change from a Rochester to an Edelbrock carburetor . I thought it would be easy. But it had to make me struggle.

I was going to put a new carburetor on the Chevy van today. But the weather was so nice, I decided to go on a trail ride in the 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm glad that I did. Got to see a bunch of big horn sheep, and the big males were battling it out. It was very cool to watch.

Jeep gets new shoes
Переглядів 423 місяці тому
Finally, it's time to put new tires on the Jeep. The tires needed to be changed a couple of years ago. But the Jeep had some issues. It took a while to diagnose and repair . Which caused it to sit parked most of the time. So now is the time for new tires and to drive the wheels off of it. It is a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.0 ltr.

Chevy van A journey from junky to funky
How do you get the lights that come with it to stay on without pressing that button?
If you move the switch to one side the lights come on and stay on. If you move it to the other side there's a timer and lights come on for 6 hrs then go off for 18 hrs and come back on at the same time.
You must be using the test button. That you remove when you put batteries in.
Nice job. Merry Christmas!😊
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Great job brother keep it going!
I'm glad you like it. It's been a lot of work. Thanks for watching
Look fun
He had fun. Best of all it kept him entertained.
Nice
He had a lot of fun. Jacked it up three times.
Where did you find such a clean van. I want a Chevy van like the one you found. Great looking van. Most of the ones I find are all beat up.
Well it kinda found me.Luckily I got it before it went to the Junkyard. I'm glad I got the chance to save it. I know where there's more I need to save. I have a few things to wrap up on this one then it can find a new home. And then I'll have room to save the others. Thanks for the comment.
Man. Can you tell me where you have all these vans? I really want a Chevy
Colorado high desert
Cool. What'd you pay for her?
Just a little bit more than the Junkyard offered
Nice job
Thanks!
Oh wow I have a 1980, same flareside bed, currently a project truck so I have it stripped down, sanding the frame and repainting it. Best front end of any f series
Wow! Sounds like you jumped in to a big project. You just can't go wrong with the flareside it makes it so much cooler. Good luck with your project.
That bullnose will never go out of style. Keep upgrading it bro.
It will get more upgrades. Bullnose isn't my favorite generation, but the step side makes up for it.
I'd either black out both mirrors or chrome them to level out the look. And get rid of that god awful nonfunctional hood scoop, slap on a 2in cowl with the black trim. Otherwise it's a good looking truck.
Thanks. Yeah the mirrors suck and don't match anyway. I already have chrome mirrors to put on it.
@@VanGoGarage plasti-dip could cover the passengers side till you decide what to do with it. And it's removable.
@@Venom420x You don't like the hood scoop? It's a era correct factory Ford part. Just not for a truck.
@@VanGoGarage too sharp of a scoop for the body lines. Doesn't match up
Looks good, sounds good, Ya!! You’re Good to go, said the auto mechanic from the Helen Keller school of mechanics and aeronautics engineering.😅😅😅
Thanks. I think? I'm sure Helen could hear it coming down the road.
If running yes, if it’s still making sound when off then no.
Oh. So what you're saying is that its only annoying when it's on. Maybe I should just leave it off. Lol
Flinstones that bad boy.
Well, it's light enough for that. Then I wouldn't have to worry about drivetrain and brakes.
Wonder if the front door seals will fit my 71 Chevy van…the seals I have on the doors right now…DO NOT have the pins??…
I got the door seals from LMC truck. I just looked them up and it says 71- 95. They'll send you a free catalog, there is one just for van parts.
i think bfore ya doanything should get yaself a good running vehicle with no tranny issues
Nice van, is the blue beauville the parts van or are you fixing her as well. Many people are going old school look and putting 71-77 flat grilles and round headlights on the 3rd Gen g10 and g20s all the way up to the 95 or 6 whichever was the last year before the Express vans came out love the right front corner view of yours showing the e tire right side and front end. I like mine solid panel with solid rear doors as well but I've had 1st and 2nd Gen sport vans, a 71 sportvan and 85 beauvilleas well as a couple regular ASTRO van pass vans but most of my vans have been panel vans and no matter if she's a mid engine 1st Gen (64-66) 2nd Gen (67-70) rs Gen like yours or an ASTRO or express even my old ex postal venture panel van I replace the window doors side and rear with solid panel doors I just like the way they look but go figure I have 3 burbans I drive and I prefer a suburban over a panel truck and both of my magnum wagons are all windows . I still have my 69 chevy g10 108 van my dad gave me in 1991 when I graduated high school, she had side and rear windows I swapped them out and made her a cargo van the same year and took off her side pipes my dad had put on her in the early 70s I have them still as well as her orig window doors . My van is in front of my silver 2010 burban in my picture
Thanks. I like your van too. Yes the blue van was a parts van. No title or motor and transmission. I like the 70's grill also but the early 80s grills still have a good look. And that's good enough for me. The headlight covers help.
hey nice van great work! was wondering where did you get the tinted headlight covers? Ive been looking everywhere for a pair, was thinking I might have to make my own with a plexi glass? let me know if you can thanks!
So what I did was make a pattern or template with some cardboard. I took that to the glass shop and had them cut the plexiglass to that shape. Then I used velcro to hold it on.
@@VanGoGarage I see!! ok thank you, I appreciate that! you really cleaned that van up nice!
i see visions of a white flat bed van
That would of been a good start for a flat bed van. Maybe I'll have to make one someday?
Hell yeah brother! Good video, informative & straight to the point! Subscribed! Keep’em coming.
Hey, thanks for the comment and subscription.
I also just bought an '84 G20! Great job on yours its inspiring to see the possibilities, really cool stuff man thank you for sharing!
Congratulations on your 84 G20. That's the last year for the old style taillights. Helps give it the old school look. Check out some of my other videos, they may help when you're working on it.
@VanGoGarage sweet man thanks I didn't know that! I definitely am watching the rest of your videos I appreciate you making them I can use all the roadmaps I can get ✌🏾
GOTTA VIDEO THE WHOLE JOB THAT WAY YOU KNOW WHERE THE SCREWS GO BACK IN OH NO WHATS THAT RADDLE. SSHHIIT GOT 1987 G20 AN I LOVE VAN LIFE 24/7 VACATION GITRDUN
Yeah you're probably right. I wasn't too worried about it since I had just installed all of it the summer before.
@VanGoGarage 3 more weeks l put a new cce crate engine performer in my van can't wait ill let them do the heater core mine started acting up so van on buddy
@@timquinn9036Crate engine is the way to go. Did that in my other van. Twice the power that it came with. Made a big difference in drivability.
Thanks for this video, very helpful for me, going to do this today. 🏴
Glad it helped. Good luck.
Happy sanding lol
Thanks. It's my all time favorite thing. 😁💩

@KaiserWillys has everything you need for you Willy’s jeep
Thanks again
That is a 46 to 49 cj2a. The stock driveline is t90 trans, dana 18 transfercase and flathead 4 engine. My 2 cents is that the body is really pretty good and rebuilding it stock, or with a more modern 4cyl would be the way to go. These are actually getting harder to find and worth more stock.
Thanks for the info. I'm glad to learn what I can about these old jeeps. I definitely think it's a good builder for which ever way I decide to go. I guess I need to go check out some old jeeps.
you are lucky to have found this..these flat fenders are now quite highly sought after..you may regret rat rodding it...personally i wouldn't do it...back in the day we used to put small blocks Chevy's in these..327's, 350's etc...there was an adapter available (still is from Adavance Adapters or Novak enterprises..)You wont be able to fit the Cherokee XJ drivetrain into the willys as there just isn't enough room...the engine trans/transfer case are too long for the short 80 inch wheelbase....a more practical swap is to do a chevy 2.8 v6 it's a 60 degree V so it is narrow and only 3 cylinders long...fits in real nicely if you can adapt it to your drive train...a vortec 90 degree v6 shares the SBC bolt pattern so you can use an available adapter with an original drive train (dana18, t-90 transmission).. just my thoughts though...no matter what you decide at least you are making an attempt to save it....oh..back in the day had a full sized bronco with an auto trans that constantly overheated...never solved it, instead hooked up a spare windshield bottle and pointed the nozzle at the front of the radiator...whenever it would get hot i just gave it a shot of water...worked for the few years i had the rig...cheers
Thanks for the comment. If it had any of the powertrain I would be more inclined to keep it in stock form. But since it's just the body, frame and axles and there are quite a few of these old jeeps around here. I thought I could make a cool hotrod out of it and set it apart from all the other old jeeps. But nothing is set in stone just yet and I may change my mind 10 times before I get to work on it.
@KaiserWillys has every thing you need for your jeep
Ok thanks. I will definitely check it out.
Did you need to bleed the brakes after?
No. I was able to leave the master cylinder still hooked up and just moved it out of the way.
you shouldn’t have to adjust the strikers, wrap some electrical tape around them if you want the door to close better
Good idea. Thanks for the tip.
I also have an 84 with the same problem. I noticed you didn’t have to drop the column, can I get away with that too?
I don't think you would have to drop it. But if you did it's only to nuts and you can lay it on the seat. Good luck
Coming along nice, love the van... Would love one myself
Thank you very much. There not to hard to find yet.
Seal all.. save All!! I swear by it
It's the good stuff
Timing gears are better
Well thank you for your opinion. I guess you will have to see the video to find out what I did?
Does this item fit a astro van?
I don't think they will fit. Good luck finding some for a Astro van. Maybe try Ebay? I seen Steele rubber products has some for the back doors.
where did you get them?
I got them from LMC truck. They also sell some van parts.
I'm not totally sure the benefits of using gears vs chain. However I think it would be pretty cool and a good conversation starter. I guess you would never get timing chain slack so that's neat
Thanks for your input. It probably would be a good conversation starter when people tell me that there's something wrong with my power steering pump. Lol
Putting in work brother.
Yeah I just need to keep knocking out things on list. And I knew that one was going to suck so I'm glad it's done.
Same. And Now I don't even have a heater, but it's not a daily. Just a show pony.@@VanGoGarage
Hey could you do a video on how to take out the vent window? Mines broke off the pivot piece and I’m confused on how it comes out. I feel a visual video would do me well, thanks!
Maybe some day. I'm not in any hurry to take a door apart right now. Maybe look for a video on a Chevy truck I believe it's the same thing.
Sweet van man! What did you use for torque converter control?
It was a TCI transmission that already had the parts to hook it up. So I only had to hook up one wire. I know TCI sells the part for witch ever transmission you have. I believe there are 2 different styles. There are videos on UA-cam. I think I seen videos of people hooking them up with the stock parts also. Hope this helps.
I like your Chevy. I’m hoping to get one sometime soon.
Thanks. It's been a lot of work. I hope to finish it this summer. And find a new project.
Sweet van!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate it
Where did you find the headliner and seat cover fabric?
The headliner is a carpet remnant. And the seat covers I think I found on Ebay.
What radiator did you use?
Originally I used a radiator from autozone but the radiator cap wouldn't seal to the plastic tub. Then I got a aluminium Summit racing radiator part # sum-384041.
That is the cleanest vehicle I've ever seen to be setting 10 years.
Yeah it was a good one to start a build on
Absolutely. I’m running a 475 HP 383 with 373 gears.
Wow sounds like a good setup
Is it a shorty van, cause i want 1 like this one but the 146 inch i believe is called or the 15 passenger seater, cause I want one exactly like 1 but the long 1 as I just mentioned
It is longer than a shorty and shorter than a 15 passenger. I believe it's a 125 wheel base.
@@VanGoGarage I was told that they are 3 sizes, the shorty 110 inch, medium 125 inch, & the large 1ne 146 inch
Nice work. I did a 700r4 conversion too. Keep on truckin'
Thank you. Yeah that extra gear makes a difference on the highway.
what did you use for the 6 horizontal bars on the grille??
I used metallic spray paint and clear coat
