Just a little tip if you would like too keep the mice out of the truck while it's in storage! Get yourself a box of Bounce dryer sheets & stick some under the hood & in the cab. I put them in glovebox, under seats, in air inlets...you name it! And they smell good! Works great! I've been doing it for years!
Set up stainless wheel simulators would make old girl look awesome. I got 2 of those trucks a 4 door cummins swapped and a regular cab 454 gas . both 4x4. Wont trade them .
FYI you always check the gaps cause the parts boys throw those boxes around messing up the gaps. the disk gaper are ok for those plugs or cheaper plugs but on your more expensive platinum or irridiam ones you want to use the wire type so you dont scratch off the precious metal
I know the battery is 13yrs old, but you could always try opening the top caps and seeing if each cell is properly flooded. If you can see dry plates, add some (preferably distilled) water to bring it at least 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch liquid over the plates. The battery may play nicely again, but due to its age, I'd guess she's pretty well due for retirement and replacement. Gapping plugs - my Dad could gap them by eye, and if you didn't believe him, you could check with the tool; it was a rare occasion that he'd be off by very much. He was also great at telling you what size wrench or socket was needed, and could convert between SAE and Metric sizes on-the-fly. I'll probably finish out my life and be lucky to grab a handful of wrenches or sockets from the toolchest and have the one I really need each time, much less be able to judge the size by merely looking, OR converting sizes between one unit of measure and another. Although, I have better luck remembering the size from having done the job once before. Hey, right near the end of the video, are you falling behind on the lawn mowing duties there, Nate ?
Hey Nate I would say if you plan on do Any Mobile work down the road in rusty I would say you should buy a truck bed topper that way you can keep parts and tools dry😁
I would of gone with acdelco plugs tbh since they were factory the issue with other brands is the heat ranges aren't consistent across all manufacturers
Copper plugs definitely dont last the lifetime of a vehicle, but some vehicles just run better on them. I know that AMC cars run the best on champion coppers. Strange because those are cheap plugs but it wont run as nicely on other plugs.
Perhaps you could also tie a sheet of something over the air box opening when it is finally parked just for good measure, but even then I don't know that mice are going to make the effort unless you let it set for quite a while. Maybe a couple layers of tinfoil over it like a glove and some baling wire to keep it in place.
Did you scrape the posts/contacts of the dissy cap after replacing the rotor button? Can't beat an old fashioned set of feeler gauges for gapping plugs and points and for adjusting valve clearance etc....
One of the best things to improve performance and mpg is to get rid of the catalytic converter. I did it to a 95 model and it made a world of difference.
Checkout Milestar Grantland tires on amazon or Walmart really cheap but I've had really good luck with them balance well got 20k on first set no issues sold tht vehicle my current vehicle 26k miles on the tires no issues

Good job guy, but you did all of this and than say your storing it? Should store it the way it was than fix, but still good job getting her back from the dead.
Okay I have the same problem with the brake lights and I also have a slow start I have always had a problem with a short or something I need to figure out why I can't get it inspected for my brake lights my brake lights do not work
I have the same truck only four-wheel drive not a dually it's the same truck everything is the same every part but I can't figure out why it's not working
SO HAPPY TO SEE old Rusty.. I really like that truck...👍

Distributors and Carbs. I remember the day.
Don't forget to drain and flush the brake system. Fluid should be changed every 5 years.
I like this truck as it is a dually I have a soft spot for this style of truck

Whatever became of this, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat.
You're friggin' awesome dude. Be well.

Good to see a young man taking time to do a good job
Awesome nice Friday video to watch and wind down too :)
I love those trucks I got the same one expect my is a 99 and all white k3500 4x4 7.4, man your blue and silver looks awesome
Sand and paint the air cleaner it will look a lot better 😊
The deer at the end was pretty cool
By the way I love that truck. Its one of the most reliable trucks you will ever own I guarantee it. I had a 94 2500hd
Need some valve cover gaskets next
I love this channel. It always forces me to ask myself, what am i doing with my life?
Rusty is looking good.
I miss working on retro engines, so easy to work on, my engine is full electronic crap.
The rotor is more important to change out than the cap, as the rotor will burn through and carbon arc, causing misfires.
Good looking old truck. I missed what size motor it was. I figured it's a 454 or 7.4
You really need to get a bottle of additive for the gas before you store it. If you do not the gas will go bad and it will not want to start or worse.
Keep a good ignition control module in the glove box.
Such a cool truck!
i love this truck

Loved watching the vids on this truck
Eso es una maquina . En europa no nos dejan tener ese monstruo de coche. son calles muy estrechas .
I would of gone with acdelco plugs tbh since they were factory the issue with other brands is the heat ranges aren't consistent across all manufacturers
damn that plug gapper is older than me and i'm 63 lol.

And hey, thanks for the video. I've enjoyed this truck's revival so much.

Just imagine your feet in the engine compartiment of à VW golf lol
damn them shoes need some love or a trash can lol
The best thing for a major improvement on how it runs is remove the massive primitive technology cat converter it seriously chokes the engine down
Paint the wheels!
I will!
Nice chevy.
Looks like an old big block Chevy. 454. Çid
Çok iyi tamircisin
Great work on this truck, dont forget to grease the front end and universals when ever you plan on driving it more.
I could be wrong but i don't think these trucks had greasible fittings on the universal joints, i know my 95 suburban doesn't.
Younger mechanic :-)
Did you reattach the vacuum hose underneath the air breather assembly?
