    Radiator Crud

    Well, I'm not to the point of adding anti-freeze/coolant, but I'll look into using a flush T. I'm needing good info on what to use to remove that crud from the radiator first, then sealing up the head gasket. I'll keep that in mind when and if I get to that point, Thanks. Yup, changed my mind...

    Radiator Crud

    Regarding liquid glass in cash for junkers, I've read that it was used in the oil which set the engines up big time...aka nfg. Along with that adding it to the radiator is good as long as it is an exhaust leak, as in "smoking" (steam) out the tail pipe or seeing bubbles in the radiator. BUT if...

    Radiator Crud

    Bought this '94 used, ran great for years, now overheating. I have a blown head gasket, can't afford to do it right, so needing to use sodium silicate. Wanting to flush the radiator, but I'm afraid simple flushing won't remove this crud. Any suggestions on what this is and effective stuff to...

    94 front axle seals

    Great overlooked, down played, hard wood "of sorts" that has it's uses. Fred Flintstone used it for a truck build.🙄 Bring it in and get it up to dry, otherwise it will rot on the ground. Next project is building a rocket stove and burn Alder in it. I have plenty and it comes back plenty fast...

    94 front axle seals

    ?? but it isn't out. If you are referring to the Alder plug, that's in the spindle. Would love to replace the seal in the pumpkin.

    94 front axle seals

    Well the lazy part of me took over and I took the "change in place" route. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't replace the inside one too as it wobbled more than I wanted it to, especially when I rely on it come winter time. No previous pic's of removing the outside axle as it's been...

    94 front axle seals

    I'm not lazy, but Da__rn that's a bit of work for this 78yr one man show. I sure appreciate the help and now to reconsider the operation. The inside U-joint feels good, but wanted to replace it while I'm doing the outside one. I've read the other option is to do it in place. Not sure I can...

    Brake shoe and diff fluids.....

    Just have a need to respond. Thank You all for guiding me through this as I'm in the same boat as itchybruno in many ways. I'm in SE Alaska with a new to me '94 Navajo with LR brake grabbing. Haven't looked at it yet, but all things point to the dreaded seal. Couple of feet of snow on the...
