Hello all,
I just picked up a 1993 4X4 pickup the other day and am really excited to get to know her. I'm really pleased with it so far! It only has a few issues:
-The cast iron power steering broke near where it bolts to the block while driving (according to the PO). He took the belt off the pump but left it hooked up and just tied it out of the way. It's a bit of a workout to turn in parking lots. There are a few of these pickups in local pick-n-pulls so I will start by searching for a bracket there. If I can't find one I may pursue having someone weld it up for me.
-The drivers window wont roll down. The handle won't turn and it feels like the regulator is binding. I will check the junkyards for this as well.
-Various leaks that I need to track down.
I'll be changing all the fluids and filters so I can get a baseline for future maintenance. Will also be inspecting the timing belt soon and what I see will help me decide how high it moves up the priority list.
