Got to take it for a short drive today.
1. Small puddle of oil where truck was parked and had milky oil top. Not 100% sold its leaking coolant somewhere as there was condensation all over the concrete floor. Maybe someone could chime in. However the fact I know it had the head gasket replaced and the person who did it had the freaking head off the motor and still didn't drill/easy out the broken exhaust manifold bolts makes me think they probably also were dumb or lazy enough to not have properly done the head gasket job.
2. Still pretty doggy but not as bad throttle doesn't want to operate in the mid range have slow acceleration through 2k rpm and then I have to floor it if I want it to go higher. Didn't do a wot test as the exhaust is too loud and didn't want someone calling me in mistaking me for a kid trying to be a punk.
3. Will probably just use the truck sparingly until I can begin the restoration. I bought it to only drive the the home improvement store and haul off trash and stuff that needs burned anyways. At this point I don't want to completely rebuild the motor without the funds in place to knock out other large parts of the truck. The total plan is a frame off DIY job. It's for me to learn on and get some time away from the old lady and baby when I can. As long it doesn't blow up before then no big deal but even if it does no big deal lol. Just a $900 beater.
