Drilling a hole through your shocks can soften up the ride a bit, until you get it running.

I think there is too much water in the radiator, causing it to flood.

Ha ha ha. You guys sure are having fun at my expense but it doesn't help that my truck still won't run and no one will find the answer for me. What a bunch of jerks!

Try unscrewing the o2 sensor. It's that little black thing on the side of your passenger side wheel.

Is your dash cracked? Or headlights yellow? Is the black plastic on the bumpers all discoloured? Does your tranny have a drain plug? Have you bypassed the tranny check valve?

These are some of the things we need to know in order to help.

Yes, it is badly cracked. Is this a common issue with these trucks?

One of the headlights is a bit hazy and the plastic on the bumpers has issues. The plastic wiper cowl cover is fading. You spell the word "discolored" funny.

No drain plug and there is no check valve. Could these having anything to do with the truck not running? I', now really scared that I did something bad to my truck.

I bet you forgot to put the two rubber flaps next to the radiator back on.

You shouldn't have tried to get three fat girls inside the cab, only one. That's probably why it quit.

If it's a gas engine try putting diesel through it, or if it's a diesel put gas in it, it'll give you 400 more hp and 80 mpg
