Hello everyone,
I have had my '86 crewcab diesel for three weeks now, it had been
sitting four years under an almond tree, it was left here by it's former
owner  a german chef who use to have a restaurant here. is a unique
piece here in mexico and therefore service will be not easy to get. I
guess I need to sharpen my mecanic skills.
I replaced the battery , and the alternator and water pump belts  (not
the timing belt which I didn't dare to change but it needs to be
replaced), filters changed, I want to drain and replace the antifreeze
coolant and I have no Idea where to drain it properly from?
It has a grinding-squeeking noise when shifting to theird and fourth
gear. first and secord gear are not easy to find either.
there is a hole open behind the engine on the case attached next to it.
I placed some ducktape to prevent any gravel or dirt to go into it.
the emergency break does not work the cable is broken.
does someone know a reliable parts and manual store?
thanks you all.
