My son (16) just took the 92 W250 to a friends, came back home saying the brakes were inop, it's pissing fluid out the rear slave.
Researching......

As a quick fix, abandon and cap off the faulty line at the junction block. The plugs were $1 or something from the store... or you can weld up the old flare nut.

Yesterday I installed the aluminum upper wheel opening mouldings from the 84 side trim. I have been debating if I should run the 91-93 big black wheel opening flares. But after my last junk yard run and seeing the dodge rams and dakota with front and rear wheel rot due to these types of flairs, I couldn't justify putting them back on. Especially since this is my daily drivers.

I also installed my aluminum mud flaps. And today I gave Ol' Patch's a bath and some fixes hear and there, mostly where water was leaking in, and some surface rust had started.

Received the air box cover, picked up a 93 filter and a couple 3-1/2" reducers/connectors to fit some tubing up. I really don't like the cone filter that the truck came with.

Mark. I think you grabbed the wrong link at photobucket. It's easy to do with their new-fangled setup.

I don't use photobucket. for some things they did to photographers in the past. Now I have one more reason to not use them.


Funny you mentioned that as I am looking for a photo hosting website for my other hobby. photography.

Probably not a bug but a Robin(My wife)


For some reason it has to do with the emoticons. maybe some conflict from her games. that has happened before.

Went out this morning and finally replaced the cone air filter. Used a 91' filter and OEM air box cover. A 3-1/2" aluminum flex hose and some ducting insulation and tape. IMO, came out pretty good. Also noticed the fuel separator dripping from the bottom sensor. I cleaned up the electrical connector and my wtr in fuel light went out. Pushed (cycled) up on the "drain"? and it stopped leaking. Looked like a little fuel came out put that was it. Doesn't look like it is leaking now.
