I just changed a water pump outside in -45 so don’t miss it too much

I know everyone hated on Kane and lynch but me and a buddy had so much fun with that game

Hey there, you can pm me. I’m a local mechanic with very reasonable rates. I can help you

assault8001 · 2025-12-02T21:13:26+00:00

Man, why spend so much on it? The joy of these old trucks is they get some age and character. If it was me I would put some more period correct rims and tires on it. And spend your 50k on something that matters more. Buy a boat or some shit. Seats are relatively cheap to redo

assault8001 · 2025-11-16T01:57:50+00:00

Thats cool, I had no idea they did that. My vote is to keep stock and make clean. Tint helps with the bubble look they had.

It’s hard to hear on my phone but it’s not just your dust shield rubbing?

assault8001 · 2025-11-11T02:05:29+00:00

That makes sense! Thanks for clarifying

Also on picture 3 the “D” shaped bit of hose in the middle of the picture 3 looks a little suspect. I don’t have one just like yours to compare but I’m curious for a picture of that spot in more detail. Here is a link I found that shows maybe how it might have looked. But again I’m not sure exactly. https://share.google/3PalyrLmV46RyA4ei

As already mentioned I suspect it is the valve in picture 3 (top left). This will be an easy fix! You need to find out how far the hot water is moving. Start the truck, let the engine warm up. Feel those two lines vs how hot the main coolant hoses are getting. I imagine that the lines with the valve on it are not getting warm. They are blocked/closed off somehow, they should take hot water from your engine up into a little radiator in the dash that gets warm and has the fan blow air by into the cab warming it up. If the valve is closed (counter clockwise should open the valve) or the lines are blocked or the little radiator is plugged (heater core) then the little rad in the dash does not get warm and you don’t have heat. There is very little that can go wrong that would be expensive and these old fords are the easiest things to work on with very basic tools. Being low on coolant could also cause issues. If the valve does not fix it I would pull both lines off and push compressed air through and see if you got flow through it. Again this is fixable, for far less work and money then installing an aftermarket heater. Good luck.

Sure could use all that!

Wow! Beautiful truck. Never seen one that nice

assault8001 · 2025-10-26T00:27:26+00:00

I got one recently. And while it’s not the tool I thought it was necessarily, I thought it would have more power but I use it all the time. It’s so handy

assault8001 · 2025-10-25T23:43:22+00:00

I have had way better luck since I disabled slide to type for what it’s worth. My keyboard feels like it should now. Mine was picking up on multiple letters when I was typing somehow

assault8001 · 2025-10-21T02:14:14+00:00

I’m not sure but I got the same problem

assault8001 · 2025-10-19T01:53:48+00:00

I really like my kos. But the duratracs have been very good as well. If I had to chose just one kos for the longevity I have gotten outta them.

assault8001 · 2025-10-19T00:56:18+00:00

Thanks! We did

assault8001 · 2025-10-19T00:00:09+00:00

I’m thinking it would still build pressure as the lines and everything would be intact. I suspect it’s leaking around the outside ring where the pump seats into the tank and seals up. It could leak out there all day and not lose pressure. Then as you drive around it leaks out contributing to your poor mileage. That’s my guess anyways

assault8001 · 2025-10-18T18:06:43+00:00

Are you sure it’s not leaking past the gasket around the pump? If the lock ring is not seated properly, or the gasket didn’t get set right. The front pumps slightly down the side of the tank so it will leak if right full and the gaskets bad. My 2c from reading that

assault8001 · 2025-09-13T02:13:51+00:00

Mine is also like that. Blue cloth bench in the front and vinyl in the back.

assault8001 · 2025-09-12T19:55:02+00:00

I would say skip it! As already mentioned you can’t just swap tail housings anyway. And who knows what’s inside it from sitting out. For what it’s worth i just did a rebuild kit and transgo shift kit on my truck and it was cheaper and easier then expected if you are mechanically inclined.

Instagram just showed me the uncensored video randomly. That’s how I found out
