Keep an eye on the temperature. They're known for getting a pocket of air in the coolant. They have a bleeder on the t-stat housing which doesn't make sense to me because the radiator cap (on the top hose) is higher. I leave the cap off and wait for the t-stat to open. Have fun with it! I...

Looks good to me!

Most stations don't sell a lot of 93 octane so it might contribute to more moisture in their tank. Pull the line off anywhere you like and catch some gas in a white or clear container. You'll see a bubble of water in the bottom if it's there.

Man, you can't beat that with a stick :thumbsup: Wish mine was that rust free when I first bought it. I needle scaled the whole frame and painted it just to help it last. The rear fender flairs have a couple of small bubbles starting under them, rockers doing the same. Had to replace one rear...

Not lifters, rockers. :)

The seller definitely knows 4.7s and the difference between the years. I'm wondering why he's selling the engine out of the Dakota that appears to be quite solid. Maybe the frame is rusted beyond repair? I bought my 03 with bent valves because of a jumped timing chain. They are an interference...

Try a different coil?

Or a small table/desk fan.

Beat me to it!

With all of the pitting on the gear I'd have to wonder what the bearings look like. You'll find the pitting from the vehicle sitting for many years and the moisture gets to the top of the gear that's not submerged in gear lube.

First time I found ATF in the standard transmissions was in 1978 servicing new Dodge vehicles. Stuck my finger in the fill hole and had ATF. Had to check out what was going on. Same year I pulled a differential cover and found no gasket, just silicone sealer.

And do them all. Some have been known to be just the end studs but many have found it could be any of the holes. I like to use Permatex #2 or Teflon paste.

Ideally you want one third of the fan out of the shroud. Doesn't matter about the distance, fan to radiator, as long as it's not too close, one inch maximum. One inch clearance from the end of the fan blades to the shroud opening seems to work.

A fan shroud can make a big difference. You want 1/3 of the fan sticking out of the shroud toward the engine.

French Pub?

Too small, need a BIG pot!

That's the Silk Purse out of a Pigs Ear saying. Watching a Boyd Coddington show years ago, they were waiting on the rear taillights to come back from the chrome plater for a beautiful red and white '55 Chevy. It was the last piece to finish the restoration as the owner was showing up at...
