If it's clean fresh water....it's condensation, and nothing to worry about.
If it's coolant.....uh oh......blown head gasket or cracked head.

Hmmmmm......while you apparantly have been an English teacher all your life
so love to correct spelling or grammar errors.......I've spent the past 27
years out in the shop, I didn't intend, nor imply a lesson on how the stupid
thing works.....just made an attempt to call it by name. Sorry.

Subject: 5th wheel camper

In response to your questions concerning the setup of my truck here it is Don.

The rear is a 3.08....crunching the numbers I come up with a GCWR of 9,000
lbs. Deducting the weight of the truck, I figure that I have about 5,400
lbs to play with. I have found several 23-25 foot trailers under 5k lbs.
Keep in mind that this is not a truck that I will be driving from coast to
coast in. We both are working and will probably spend about 4 weekends and
2 weeks a year in just around the southeast.

I was suprised to find that a automatic can pull/carry more of a load than
a manual. My owners guide shows in the back where the GCWR of a 302 w/3.08
rear 4X2 automatic is 9,000 whereas the manual is 2,550 lbs LESS!!!! Does
anyone know why such a wide differance?

Keep the faith
Frank Nesbitt

I bought mine at a 4X4 specialty shop, they stocked K&Ns for just about
every brand of truck. It also was the exact same price as Summit wanted.

On the subject of PCV valves, does anyone know where the thing is on a 1987
2.0 engine?????? I've looked all over, and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks, Randy

It should be on the left (drivers side) of the engine -- almost under the
carburetor---- there will be a big vent tube coming out of the side of the
block it is in the end of the big hose where it turns into a vacuum line
- ----- this is assuming you mean the 2.0 in a ranger.
