My trucks been needing some work for a few weeks. Brakes are getting weak even though they only have a few thousand miles on them and I'm sure it has something to do with the old Kelsey Hayes ABS system. I'v had a bit of an exhaust leak at the manifold for a week or so and finally looked at it. The flange at the exhaust manifold pulled thru the Y pipe and damaged it ( part of the catalitic converter too ), and is starting to cook the starter wires. A new Y pipe w/ cat is like $300, and the bolts are going to break on the manifolds, so I'm going to go for headers when the time comes to make this repair but I do not have funding right now due to the Subaru.
I have a couple weeks off work and I need to get the motor swapped in the new Subaru so I can put that on the road, but this truck needs to make it at least 100 miles on thursday to pick up the engine for it.. Is it a good idea to insulate the starter wires in tin foil to keep heat off of them?. After the Subaru's good to go, I will probably have to park the truck for a while.
