Didn't buy the truck Went to go pick it up and the guy sold it already. Didn't even bother to tell me he had already sold it but im supposed to pick up a different truck this Saturday. 88 4x4 5speed 22r. just started a build thread on it here it is https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...-build-248966/

 

that sucks, a guy did that to me once too, i had even sent him $500 to hold it. he lived about 150 miles from me and i couldnt get up there for a few days. the best part was i called him when i was almost there and he said he sold it, and doesnt remember me ever giving him money... fortunetly, i found his house and when my 6'4" 250lbs self was staring at him with a really bad look on my face and a big pipe in my hand he remembered real quick..

 

If this is a vehicle you need yesterday for driving no if you have another vehicle for now till you get it running heck yes you should. Meh what am I sayin buy it deal with everything else later.

Oh yea and don't forget to feed the 1st gen pics monster when you get it.

 

Yotaman85: It really sucked but whatever. im hoping the same thing doesn't happen with this 88. also a quick question for you, do you know if the 88's could of had the 22r? i thought the last year for the 22r was 87 but i could be wrong.

 

the 88 should be 22re, but i have seen a carbed 88 before.

 

THis is a picture the guy sent me. Is there anything that you can see that would make it a 22r?

 

What do you mean? It is a 22r, its carb'd. Looks like its leakin a lot tho

 

i havnt seen the truck yet and was wondering if there was anything in the picture that makes it a 22r. and it needs a headgasket. thats the leaking i think.

 

There is no efi intake so that makes it a 22r...
Plastic radiator...thing loOks like it is gonna take some work

 

So should i invest in a new radiator?

 

invest in a whole new engine lol! im gonna go pick up my 82 sr5 tommrow, needs a bed and some brakes but for 750 im not complaining!

 

I wouldn't bother investing in a new radiator until that one takes a dump, Yota802. I have an all metal/trailer model radiator(No idea, other than the different placed lower outlet... But they're rare from what I'm told by my radiator buddy salesman, lol. My quality radiator was around 165$ with tax. The one you got in there now? Free! lol.

BTW, could be a valve cover or front main seal leaking, .... what makes you say "HG"? Is it chocolate milk, steaming, etc.?

 

my plastic radiator comment was just an observation

 

No doubt... and I don't mean to sound like I'm assuming he's trying to do this 'tight budget' style... Cuz IT IS DEFINITELY not a question... The plastic ones are NOT ideal! lol. But, I had one in an 87 PU.... it took a big beating for 3 years, 79K in that time... never had a problem with it. Others I know? >>>>NOT SO LUCKY! HAHHAA.

BTW, sup OCDawg? Stayin warm?....hey, wait, I just noticed.... You changed the ID? Boy, you staff guys get all the perks! hahaha.

 

it looks like chocolate milk. so im assuming its a hg.
