Gremlins

Does anybody else have them

And I am not talking about the kids. I have Gremlins

they let the air out of my tire and caused the king pins in the dana 44 to have 3/4 of an inch play just on the right side. Installed the spare tire and found king pin bad was ok when it was park inside a year and half ago

Started as just body resto but now has turned into fixing everything

Got a used dana 44 with disc brakes 3/4 ton hub to hub from Tom bulldogflash just got it in last weekend. Today opened garage walked over to truck green antifreeze on the floor

Gremlins Radiator bottom tank is leaking

What else could be the cause

The tire never leaked the king pins were ok had just checked them when I put the tie rod end on and checked the toe in and the radiator had been replaced 2 years ago

I could see if the brake cylinders leaking and the water pump would leak after sitting but this other stuff what gives

Its has to be Gremlins

Got em too. Smelled gas and went out and there was a puddle of gas under the fuel pump. Rubber gas line from the tank feed to the fuel pump just started leaking. I wonder if Chip Foose has these problems.

I doubt it he gets the cars done so fast there is no time for them to find the car! I wish I could get my truck done that fast. I do have the cab switch out the wiring done the engine is ok I hope nothing goes wrong with it! front diff is ok now and rear diff has been completely rebuild from hub to hub. The bed is ok fenders ok I just have to do some bondo in a few places paint it and put it back together! And hope nothing else goes wrong! Also have to install power brakes for dics brakes that was just installed. I do like having dics brakes but the cost has been more money about $500.00 And the time it takes to install when I could be working on the body.

Plenty gremlins around here, and one dead cat. Went out to start the green 64, heard an awful noise and the fan belt started squeiling. Turned off ignition, got out of truck walked to the front while anitfreeze ran out of truck mixed with blood. Raised hood, took one look and closed hood. Walked to neighbors house, told htem I had found their cat , and said I need the rdiater replaced. Went and got into the 66 and left. When I went home, cat radiater and fan were gone from my truck, good neighbor.
