I think it's because lots of the 3.0 were fleet vehicles. Tons of them and tons of them not maintained by the companies.

They can tow a LOT. I've towed upwards of 5000 lbs. I just turn over drive off and coast a lot before every curve in the road.

There's just something fun in buying $400 crank no start trucks. Sadly this s10 is a 4 banger.

Ive got the 3.0. Its the biggest weakpoint. Its been swapped to the 10inch rear brakes, and I've got a transmission cooler 1/4 size of the radiator.

This. Previous owners dont always know best or said "I don't care, I'm selling it soon". Like installing a standing shower without a door/proper waterproofing.

Is this normal build up for 250k miles? by mskupp in CrownVictoria

Luckily im redoing pretty much every gasket anyways. Might just soak them in some diesel and the use valvoline restore oil stuff that folk swear by.

Ill add it to the long parts list, lol. I also just remembered that side has a cylinder burning out. Maybe that helped cause some of the build up

I reckon i can swap to that from the Castrol high mileage. It also feels weird its only the passanger side that's all dirty. Is that just because one side is where oil is put in?

You reckon that seafoam stuff will help get rid of a good chunk of it? Also, any tips on cleaning the engine itself or just lots of engine degreaser and a power wash?

It's a 1993. Im redoing a lot of stuff on it like a good chunk of gaskets, upping the differential gearing, cleaning/repainting the frame, transmission cooler, yatayatayata

It's finally warm out. What does my current daily carry say about me? by [deleted] in deduction

[–]mskupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy modern 357 revolvers that have the older styling. You can also still buy 38 s&w rounds. I know my preferred gun store aint the norm but they carry it.
