thumbs up!!

oh yeah. put in a lot of work on that thing, would be nice to get it back and actually be able to drive it....

Got the Mazda back!!! Got the heat workin in the dawg today. Seems the temp selector knob isn't working properly. Nice to have heat finally!! Lol gonna throw on some different wheels this weekend. Ill post pics up. Also going to be replacing the valve seals, and backing plate this coming week.

drained the trans and rear diff fluid, that was long over due. Also the trans was WAY over filled causing some shifting issues. my truck is leaking oil out of the oil pressure unit, and the backing plate for the cam gear. Its also burning oil pretty badly. I checked the engine vacuum at idle and it was pulling a solid 19in of vacuum steadily, so i know its not the piston rings or valve seats. So i ordered new valve seals, valve cove gasket set, and timing cover gasket set.

Also while i was under the truck looking around. I checked out the front suspension components and EVERYTHING under there was completely shot. So i ordered a new Pitman and Idler arm, Upper and Lower ball joints, inner and outter tie rod ends. Ill also be ordering new saw bar bushings and endlinks.
