I also checked the oil and it looked normal. How milky would it look if there was coolant in it? easily noticeable? I know about the condition but have never seen it.

So I filled up the radiator today and while the radiator cap was off I started he truck and let it idle and reved it a couple times, noticed a couple small bubbles pop up but not to noticeable. I drove it around and then on the freeway it didn't overheat or even start to overheat. Got home and...

I think it is the head gasket too, anybody know about what it costs to replace them on his truck?

It's spitting from tail pipe, and blowing that white water vapor even after long freeway drive. I was thinking headgasket. Seems to be running fine other than that. Radiator is low but not super low...yet.

1987 2.3 5speed 150,000miles. Just drove home on he freeway for about 20 minutes get home go in for about 10 minutes come out and start up truck and its spitting water and condensation from exhaust. I replaced water pump and water outlet a few months ago cause they were bad well when I went out...

I see a sensor or some electrical stuff hooked to the brake pedal but can tell if you could adjust it. Any help would be great

1987

Mine pretty much won't come on at all. I would have to damn near lock em up to get the lights on.

Ok so my brake lights and running lights work, my brakes stop fine when pedal is lightly depressed however the brake lights won't come on unless I force the pedal almost to the floor. Any ideas before I get pulled over or into an accident?

hmmm same motor but your is 11 years newer...anyone know where the A/C compressor should be located in a 1987 2.3 or if these trucks had power steering? mine has A/C controls and has no power steering

not sure if this worked but here goes

I figured i was going to get asked for pics, i will see what i can do.

it appears as though something is missing under the hood on the drivers side mounted to the wheel well...there are two plugs just sitting there as well. my guess is its either where the compressor was for the A/C since the truck has A/C but there doesnt appear to be a compressor or power...

I havent seen alignment yet...my 1987 is doing the exact same thing and im 99% positive it needs tires balanced front end alignment possibly brakes. Could be one or all three but when im done it wont do that anymore. Let us know what your issue is/was

no check engine light, only thing i could think of is the Map sensor
