What does the truck need besides a fuel pump and window?

Mine is getting alignment now.

It doesn't need a window? I replaced the broken driver window. I needs a fuel pump(probably) and most likely brake work. I think the pads are worn out.

Thought you replaced the window wasn't positive though. Fuel pump and brakes isn't to bad. Would be a killer first car too.

How many miles are on that thing?
My dad is on his third fuel pump in 50k miles
His truck is at 265k now

Nah I was able to get the window in and working fine. I know the work isn't hard but I don't want to do the work. Which is the reason for replacing the truck altogether.


Drew it's got around 150,xxx miles. It lived a hard life of towing trailers with a 4.2 v6. But it took me over to Spokane and Yakima so I can't complain. I had my fun with it, now it's time for it to go.

I do agree, it would make a great first vehicle, my brother just doesn't like it.

It isn't like he goes places really. He just decided he wanted to get a license. My sister is the one that wants to drive places but due to medical concerns she isn't able to at the moment.

And unless someone else is going to fix the truck, he won't be able to drive it anyway.

Yahiko- How do you change thrust angle? I am going to pick up a camber bushing for the front left though.

Not sure I am very limited when it comes to front end stuff.
I know that the bushing kit comes with an eccentric bushing
that allows you to change two of the elements. Caster and camber.
That is really all I know.
I really wished I knew more on the topic.

From what I understand is the rear is angled slightly left or right pushing the vehicle that direction. I'm not sure if it is adjustable though, maybe from the rear springs or something bent.

Not real worried about it, have plenty of other pieces to mess with including another tie rod, coolant flush, driveshaft U-Joints and carrier bearing.

Oh,
Yes front to rear is not. I had asked some time ago about
4 wheel alignment and was told that there is not adjustment
and so it's not needed unless you have been hit. Then it's a
trip off to the frame shop to fix that.

I was wondering after that if it was hit, on another board I posted the same image and they were talking about similar issues. Will get the camber situated then see about thrust angle.

Might be a job for Tru-Line in Seattle or Bellevue.

You can always come on over to Tacoma to Tiny's Tire Factory.
They have a rack that is long enough for my truck. I don't know
if the Puyallup store does or not. Rick does a good job and he is
the only one that I let "play" with my rides. Really any of the people
that work at the Tiny's in Tacoma are good.They are at 512and Pacific Ave
AKA SR 7.
I have been going to them for well over 38 years.

Tiny passed a few years back but his son Curt takes good care of people.
I need to set up an appointment to have mine done.
