    You need to find an old school mechanic Jason, changing the head gasket on a small motor like that Suzuki should be pretty straight forward.

  • @NotOnYourLife
    @NotOnYourLife 9 місяців тому +45

    Either a blown head gasket or valve seals with the possibility of vacuum sucking engine oil into the combustion cycle (the vacuum routing on these trucks is a comical nightmare). None of those is the end of the engine or expensive/difficult to fix. I can see wanting a different truck but that one is not condemned, it just needs a mechanic who wants to work on it.

    I’d keep the “broken” one and just drive it into the dirt. It would make a good one to use for the kinda stuff you wouldn’t do with the new one! Jumps, water and the like. Also, it would be a good one to teach your daughter how to drive with, that way if it gets messed up, oh well! Good video as always!

    I am surprised and pleased for you that the seller was willing to work with and for you.
    And yes, I think I could get used to the right hand drive easier than a left hand shifter! That clutch foot and shifting hand action is so automatic. Its automatic enough that at least once I reach in half a panic or slam on the brakes when driving an automatic.

    Spray bed liner is the way to go... Mats will rust things out
    You can spray the bottom of the truck to help with rust issues.

      I had a heavy thick rubber mat in my 1993 chevy s-10 for two decades and had no rust. It is all about how your treat your truck. I took the mat out for loads of mulch so it was easy to unload; I cleaned the bed when it needed it... and it was easy because I could pull off the matt and just hose everything off. Liners are more difficult to clean off than a regular metal bed. Also, non-lined beds allow for much easier mulch / dirt unloading. I love liners too... but everything has their place.

    Lorraine, I know the pigs enjoy the peach skins, but have you thought of freeze drying them? I bet you could, then pulverized them to powder and use it to flavor drinks, like teas, lemonades, etc. Just a thought.

My Granny made peach gelly with the skin and let over scrap pcs. The same with apples. Much love to y'all and pray for a wonderful weekend.👍💛🙏

    If your mini guy has them, get a Sambar with a supercharger. You will have a lot more power (52 hp) and can drive on the freeway without holding up traffic. The rear engine configuration makes for better traction and stability. The rear engine location facilitates easier access for servicing. The holy grail is to find one with differential lock.
