well im going to get a compression tester and test it it should be fine it runs fine now and then im going to pull the engine clean it up and paint it re gasket it skip the manual trans idea for now and just get new seals for auto trans because it also leaks and the the truck should be good except for squishy brakes

 

sounds like the best plan....
squishy brakes might just be a little air in the lines...you can google "bleed brakes" and gets instructions on how to do that with minimal mess....brake fluid destroys paint, so be careful to wipe up any spills immediately...

 

i figured it will need bled again i installed all new brake lines and a new prop valve new wheel cylinders pads, and shoes got rotors turned and a brake drum rebuild kit so i learned about brakes

 

While you are doing the gaskets put you should do a new ring and bearing kit, they are cheap and will keep it going for a LONG time. A quick hone job will be free and will seal up the new rings.
For about $300 you can get a lower rebuild kit, ring kit, and a gasket kit through rockauto.com. So if you don't have any issues you can do a poor mans rebuild for cheap. I do recommend if you have the money or the time to wait till you get the money, you have the heads checked out at least.

 

that what i was going to do but it only has 128000 miles on it and i am only going to drive it to school so i dont want to put a whole bunch of money into a truck im not going to drive much and do you guys know what the compression is suppose to be

 

well took my truck for a test drive and it was awesome but it still leaks a small amount of oil and a lot of ATF the whole bottom of the pan was covered but i think it is over filled so im going to drop the pan and change the fluid and gasket and also the dipstick O ring im going to throw so Lucas oil drip fix and see if that helps if it doesnt im going to try to do what ever i can to not pull the engine i and also have you guys had the problem that a spark plug turns out really hard and wont come out i had this problem today and didnt want to strip the threads so i didnt take it out i checked 2 cylinders and both compression was fine they were at 100

 

2 things.
first, use a period. run on sentences are frustrating.
second, if you have a wet oil pan you might luck out and it be just the pan gasket or the drain plug.

 

yeah i know im really bad at that. The Pan i was talking about is the trans pan has ATF all over it and the oil shows up on the bell housing.

 

nothing is ever easy, is it.

 

no its not
