Actually, I wrecked it, lol. Red lights and daydreaming do NOT mix, btw. It had a few problems. The carb needed to be cleaned or rebuilt (I spent a very frustrating 20 minutes trying to start it every morning) and I had to use a vise grip to open the driver side door from the inside and I had to crawl in from the passenger side. There was a hole in my exhaust, so it was REALLY loud. I fixed that for $60. Other than that, it was a great little truck. 1989 Isuzu Space Cab. I looked hawt in it too. :lol:




Exactly. I'm just really upset that I've had it for so long and I am STILL having to take the fucking retard express (bus). I'm pissed that he told me that it was a dependable car that I could take to Denver. What if I HAD taken it to Denver? I would have been stranded with no cell phone. It's bullshit.
 
You prolly just pushed the car longer than it was used to. It might have made it alot father than you think. He may have been driving it every day for the last year. He MAY not have been lying to you, it just that he also might not have been driving it much. If the car had been sitting, it wouldn't be leaking till the fluids were forced through the engine and got to places from where they could leak. If it sat for a wile, the seals will have dried out, and also caused some leaking.

Just open that hood, and look. You can't hurt it by finding where the leaks are coming from. Every time you put gas in it, check the oil. Once a month, check the water and trans. You might have just come across a car that needs a little love. Its not uncommon. The car is 20 years old. It still started and ran, and drove.

Just take it one step at a time. Hell, I bet you could take some pics, and me and dirtybird could help you find some of the problems.
 
It actually DID sit for a while. The clear coat is even coming off in places from sitting under a sappy tree.



Fuck dude, that would be awesome. What would you need pictures of? Angles? I'll take them when I get home today.
 
Just take some well lighted pics from under the car that would alow me to tell what I'm looking at, and how far up the leak goes. If you can find where its coming from, or looks like its coming from, even better. Top and bottom of the engine, as many angles that you can get.


What do you think DirtyBird?
 
I have some family that raise bison up in Colorado, but they don't know how to plug a tire so I wouldn't trust them in looking for leaks.
 
I'll put it like this, I'm not one for the cold. One of the reasons I picked Florida as my duty station. I was trying to plan a trip to go up there some time in june maby, but I think you might have that solved by then :happysad:
 
It's been so long that the only thing I know is that you have to turn off the paved road and continue driving for another 20 minutes. And its was about 2 hours from Sturgis. It was the summer before I left for the Navy.
 
LoL, this definitely the best state I've lived in. Compared to NY, FL, AL and TX.

Bitches and hos, bitches and hos... :rolleyes: :tongue:

I didn't get to the pics tonight. I'll do them tomorrow.
