1990 b2 2.9 manual tranny
here are my symptoms.
poor heat(about 89degrees from vent)
temp gauge is all over the place...it goes form "C" cold to the normal area and back and forth very erraticly(like an air bubble or bad thermostat)
heater core makes gurgling noises soemtimes when heater is on
oil in the radiator and overflow tank but NO coolant in the oil
some background...i just bought teh truck and it had a leaking raditor with bars copperseal in the radiator so i put in a brand new radiator, hoses, waterpump, and thermostat.
ps when i took the old radiator out it smelled like oil inside and came out really sludgey
thanks guys im new to 2.9s so if someone could point me in teh right direction here
