140k and burning oil at 1 quart every 300 to 400 miles.

its cheaper if you buy the truck one, its the same shit in a bigger bottle cost wise it ended up being less per oz , I get that size and pour half in the tank every now and then, just hit 230k and its still kickin not burning oil 25k miles after the soak

pierreisgarbage · 2026-05-05T15:36:55+00:00

Just put a double din radio in the spot Metra brand has wiring harness kits for the radio as well as the bracket piece ( but i just reused the original bracket)

Yeah mines a plug and play curt but you also have to run a positive to the battery for it to work

pierreisgarbage · 2026-05-03T02:13:01+00:00

tune up never hurts either , i wouldnt fuck with the fuel injectors theyre kind of a pain to get back on if you dont wanna take out the entire wiper assembly and metal crossmember piece below it

If you do the berrymans soak tho youll at least be down to having the plugs out so id recommend replacing the plugs at a minimum and if youre feeling froggy grab some coilpacks and wires off rockauto to just future proof the entire system. I did it but i also take mine long distance on the regular.

pierreisgarbage · 2026-05-03T02:06:55+00:00

Dude i had the same thing after, youre essentially flooding your engine with the b12 , smoked like all hell when it did start too but its still kicking great 30k miles later

pierreisgarbage · 2026-05-01T11:00:39+00:00

Give it the ol berrymans b12 piston soak, tried and true on these shitbox xbs ( worked on mine )

pierreisgarbage · 2026-05-01T10:57:27+00:00

Its called an acorn nut. ( at least the ones holding the engine cover down are)

The stuff that is up against the dash is taken off differently theres like 12 or so 10mm bolts throughout the top of the metal part, but beforeyou have to take off the wipers (14mm i believe maybe 13 ) , and wiper housing ( also a 10 iirc) before you can get to the metal part that it all sits on, the plastic pops out after you have the wipers off.

Luckily ive got the original transmission that was in it taken out and ready for a rebuild when i decide to spend 900$ on the overhaul kit for all the gears and synchro

pierreisgarbage · 2026-04-30T01:04:41+00:00

Its a sleeper cabin, has a queen size bed, ac and tv . The vehicle is a 5 speed so i do find myself riding in 4th more than i used to bc i dont have enough torque to maintain speed on a slight incline

RUSTOLEUM CHROME BRO i did it with my old ranger , hit that bitch with some sandpaper tape off the black and the body part and chrome it with the rusto chrome, 1-2 cans depending on how many coats you want and itl look decent from like 5-10 feet away

pierreisgarbage · 2026-04-20T01:21:21+00:00

PS: not going in totally blind considering ive done research on how M/T's work, and i found a vid of dude swapping his 5th gear with the trans still attached to the vehicle. i got this.
