The first issue that I have is a leaking radiator type box in line with the power steering distribution system. I used a UV solution to trace the leak which worked perfectly. The leak is coming out of the U bent piping going from the top of the small radiator to the bottom of the small radiator. I tried using super glue to fix the leak but nothing. Ever bottle of sealant has worked for a few days and then the fluid leaks out again.
The second problem is that I seem to also have a radiator leak coming from someowhere. Would the best fix be the tube of filings that you pour into the radiator? The leak does not seem to be excessive but it is leaking.
The third problem is that a few days ago when I went to move the truck after a family get together to put my grandpa's ashes in the ground I got into the truck and the drivers side seat immediately flew backwards almost putting me into the cargo hold of the truck. I messed around with the seat a little bit and found that the arm portion of the seat that goes up the left side of the seat seems to have broken. How do I go about removing the factor seat cover to inspect and fix the drivers side seat.
The last problem is the passenger side kick panel. During the winter the panel fell off due to excess rust that the panel was attached too. I would like to replace the kick panel with a new one or the old one. Are there any kits available to replace the kick panel or is it better to just knock the rust off and leave it go.
One good note however is that if you round the corners of the oil pan nut off you can simple drain the oil out rather quickly by placing the oil pan under the filter nub (place where the filter is attached to the filter holding thingy) and then turn the vehicle on for a few seconds then turn it off. By letting the truck run for a few seconds at a time you can drain all of the oil out of the oil pan then replace the filter and add new oil until you can get a new drain plug.
Thanks for the help.
