    Your thoughts on K-seal?

    I got kind of burned by a dealer on an Expy advertised as being in better shape than it was. Long story short I paid $3400 for a 1998 with 180000 miles. 31 days and about 80 miles later I get a coolant leak that turns out to be blown/weak gasket. Truck threatened to overheat and was...

    truck runs great...for now?

    Thanks for the input. I had both heater cores replaced by the mechanic at the lot where I bought it. This got my heater blowing hellfire but still had a leak and overheating problem. No way I can tackle removing the heads myself. Got super discouraged that I got burnt and had bought a...

    transmission fluid leak

    Thanks so much for your reply. I found another forum after some digging and found a user with a Ford Ranger and the same issue. I lightly torqued the nuts and it was as simple as that. I am new to putting a wrench on it and I assume everything is a major repair, thanks for your spot on...
