    High idle after replacing bell crank ass.

    I just replaced my bell crank assembly because the truck had a flat spot in the pedal where it would act like the fuel shut off. It was also jumpy with throttle input. Before I replaced it, the truck would idle around 800 in park. Now it idles at 1000-1100 in park. It drops to 800 in gear...

    Cracked Griffin radiator

    I was loading the truck today while getting ready for my trip when I noticed that the radiator was leaking.
