Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Another way ive checked for spark is pull a plug wire off and put it near the plug and have someone crank it if no spark move back to the coil wire and check another plug to make sure its not a bad wire, not saying this is the best way its jist how ive done it

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
I did that with my s10 and i managed to get shocked lol. Funny thing was even though it gave spark it didnt give enough. The cap was shot and to think i didnt even think about the cap:smoke: Iassumed it was all good since it gave spark. Just another lesson learned:lol:

Here is the original 4wd drive sticker from a 70 Jimmy ( at least that is what the glove box door is off of ) but this will help as far as visually show you which way to shift the transfercase lever in case you are missing you shift knob. Yours will shift the same way.

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
Okay so it's time for brakes. Can I just bleed them and be good for now? Or should I do more?

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
72 should have disk front brakes. Check the pads make sure they aren't wore down ( very thin). They do have wear marks on them if u remove them to see. Check the rotar for gouges deep scrapping. Rust isn't that good either. Drums on the back. Will be a pain there is more work involved in replacing them and getting into can be a pain hammer usually involved. Ill let someone els chime in there since I'm no expert there but same thing check pads

Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
one more, the differential. its got a 14 bolt under it. how cani change the fluid, and what weight? i read somewheres the 90k was the way to go?

90 wt. oil about right. Look around the top portion of differential hub for a removable plug. This is where you fill it from. Fill until it just starts to run out of the same hole. Replace plug. Done. (about 2qts, maybe more for 14 bolt) Course, depending on rear wheel seals, and pinion seal, you may have leakage. If you have oily, tacky wetness in your rear brake backing plate and such, your rear seals are leaking (pull the drum and look at the whole brake assembly). Comes from the same 90wt. that is lubing the rear end. It lubes the rear wheel bearings as well. Best of luck, and keep ius posted! That is a Legacy truck you have there! I'm sure your GrandDad is smiling down on you for saving that rig! Congrats! |
Re: HELP! First truck, need to be back on the road
I personally am I believer to never cheap out on brakes, so I'd say do all that you can afford on them. The thing is, you gotta realize that these are what stops you at 45 mph when some moron pulls out in front of you!
