Not Pissed anymore!

So when i bought my runner i had no clue that it had an blown engine (like a year ago) so i put a new motor in out of a 94 2wd with 61k. And I had to put a timing chain in it. on saterday of this weekend I went to the auto show and on the way home my charge light came on for less than 10 seconds so i thought nothing of it. then on monday i drove it to school and the engine sunded extremely loud (like a turbo that is going bad). so i made it to school and looked under the truck for any thing weird and all looked fine. then on the way home from school the engine was sounding even louder then the charge light came on untill i flew into my driveway and into the garage. I poped the hood and Before i could open it I smelt power steering fluid burning so i looked at the pump and there was fluid every where and I leaked on the alternator and killed that. then I looked all around and It appears that my oil pan now it leaking in the reat and the crankshaft pully seal is leaking to.

That sucks man...Now what??? 

[79coyotefrg]

how is your oil pressure??
did you blow a powerstr hose??  a turbo??  hows the exhaust pipe,  is it clamped good behind the turbo??

change your oil filter, then use a hacksaw and cut that oil filter in two and see whats in it

[Mike D]

no i don't have a turbo but the engine sounded like a turbo with bad bearings.  and the seal for the shaft on front of the pump was leaking I think that is where it looked like it was cause all of the hoses looked fine. i already took everything apart so all i need is Oil pan gasket, oil pump seal, oil change, alternator, & a rebuild kit for the pump. 





Oh and I guess i have a broken motor mount too.

[Mike D]

I need to go wheelin on saturday so that is motavating. I'll have the money friday thats plenty of time and i just found a good alternator in the garage.

Your power steering takes ATF, not power steering fluid.  At least my V6 does.

[79coyotefrg]

atf is fine for pwr steer,  and cheeper

dexron II is the factory fluid.  It has been superseded by dexron III aka auto tranny fluid.

[Mike D]

well shucks only sells the rebuilt pump for 107.99. i called the dealer and the new pump is 361 and the seal kit is 42 and another 25 for the bearings. Sooooooooooooooo I just bought the rebuilt pump from shucks and it will be in at 9:00ish tomarrow. 
And that will let me go wheelin on saturday

dude talk about bad luck,

you know ... if it wasn't for bad luck.. i'd have no luck at all! 

hope you get 'er all figured out.   

[Mike D]

I paid 175 for the pump with the core of 50. already got it all installed 

[Mike D]

and the busted motur mount also bent the bracket on the frame. 

[Mike D]

Got all the parts today and all i need to do now is the fix the motor mount bracket.  And I have to put it all back to geter tonight on my birthday.
