SIMPLE QUESTION, wanting simple answers

[hj 60]

Very nice, this is how they supposed to look, really nice color, is there any state inspection/rules you need to allow parking it on public road?

Even with many worn out signals (smoke, oil, water, fuel usage) they still drive on, if you can get that pump back on and start again you might get it going for cheap and who cares if it needs a bit of fluids after 100 miles (for now)

The maintenance (baseline, just regular stuff) is below: 1986 Maintenance 26 pag.
I only have diesel stuff but the FSM is easy to find.


Also beware of different rim size, in 4x4 (hi/low) different wheel rotation might lock the transmission (happened before, also just in 2x4)
The springs have a nice arch, (not flat like worn out is) so this looks nice and somehow seems to have had maintenance.

My thermostat housing has no holes rusted trough but the bolts snapped:
diesel/HJ:

does this FSM only cover diesel? I quickly scrolled through since im at work, all i saw was 3b 2h so my guess is no? either way i appreciate the forward, maybe someone else wouldnt mind linking me theirs?

i really like this specific color tone and i honestly think the rust/"patina"(dont think i can call it that quite but whatever) gives it that much more character. ok, gonna order a new pump, new thermostat housing and go from there!
i think i might start a "fix thread" cant really call it a build thread lol

perhaps you have the wrong FSM. There are multiple manuals for different parts of the truck. Try the link in my signature.

stoked thanks Seth S

As long as you can follow the manual step by step you'll be fine. Some things to remember when working on engines is If something seems wrong its because it probably is, and if you're trying too hard then ur doing it wrong.
