Few assorted questions, help would be great.
1.)steaming a little bit on startup from the exhaust, general idea is head gasket. what's the best replacement/could it be anything else?
2.)Does anyone know if theres a way to clean out the glass on the headlights, or is it smarter just to replace them?
3.)What size are the stock dash speakers? i got some free 5 and 1/4s i was hoping i could replace them with.
Trucks a 93 22r-e.
If i could get some help, that would be amazing. thanks guys.

1.) could be condensation. Other symptoms for a head gasket would be loss of coolant (sweet smelling exhaust), Coolant and oil mixing (could also be the timing chain caver), loss of power, over heating, Or any other combination of factors. Basically if you're not loosing coolant or any of the other symptoms i described it might be just condensation.
If you do notice any of these then start digging deeper as you might be looking at a head gasket job. Then start searching and reading.

Thanks a lot, you guys are awesome. after starting it up for a few minutes, im pretty sure it is just condensation. no smell, stops after a minute or two. i just filled the overflow back up to the fill line. Sucks that those speakers might not work, but i'll still try. And oh well, replacing the lights wont be a big deal.
Thanks for the help guys, i appreciate it.

What do you mean clean out the glass. Are they foggy on the inside?
Like said above they are sealed so they should have nothing in them unless they have been converted to the H4 housing.

Nope, no holes. Well, so far i've got good news because my head gasket should be fine, expected news that i have to replace the lights, and bad news that the speakers might be a bit big. but oh well, i got the speakers, amp, and 9 channel eq for free. so nothing wasted.

I would try that, but my truck stays dirty on the inside. i might try and make them work in the dash, or i could figure run door speakers, but that would take a bit more time then i'll have this week.
