      Nice! Same set up in ours. It's a great truck, and in pretty good shape for a 25 year old. Just wish it was four wheel drive :) But you don't need it for long pulls like this.

  • @mikeswartz3146
    @mikeswartz3146 Рік тому +1

    I swear these things are set up. That 250 has excellent door jams and door panels. I think people put trash in them park near the trees and drain fluids. Looks very good. With just putting brake fluid it took that hill?

    Couple things you need to know about those highways number one the co sensors got changed with the spark plugs number two at 80 to 90,000 miles just like these new foreign cars it must get new timing chain and gear so otherwise you'll get a hesitation that's just a little too far out for those old computers they have to be within seven degrees if they go more than 7° out you'll get a terrible hesitation you'll never get rid of timing chain and gears water pump is every 3 to 5 years depending on how much you use it that's just normal

      yeah the rear axle tanks start at like 80-150 but if you want the in cab ones they are about 2-300. I'd switch to the rear axle ones cuz they are safer and you have more room in the cab. besides if it leaks you don't want it by you, you'll want it as far away from you as possible!
