(1) Power steering hose
(highpressure) is leaking on top . The metal part that goes in the center the nut, that screws into the pump is leaking. I felt that is was going to when I tightened it down.. the nut is tight was you can still wiggle the hose. Fix that if possible or order a new one.
(2) Still having small issue out of the hydraulic clutch. Ill address that. Still need to center the adjustable clutch rod coming out of the slave to center it up on the clutch fork, space out the slave cyl. or re-drill the bracket . Bleed the system good and proper. Im very confident in this system the way I have it. No worries from me here.
(3) Suspension.
Still have to put the suspension on. But that is no problem or issue. Just has to be done.
(4) Driveshaft.
When I lower the tuck it looks like I'll need to have the shaft cut about an inch. Seems to be the normal on these trucks. Right now its a stock stock reg cab 4 cly 5speed driveshaft.
That is it really. While it doesn't seem like much, its still quite a bit of work.
After I got back here from the exhaust shop, I let it idle finally and bleed out the coolant system for the first time. I thought I had got a 195* thermostat. When the truck reaches 190* like clockwork, thermostat opens and it cools down to 180-182 ish.
So the coolant system is working. At least for now. Wait till summer time and see what happens.
I need to put some wire loom on, move a few wires , make my clutch reservoir holder. Basically organize and tidy up the engine bay a little.
