Hello Guys, My 1986 720 Kingcab with 134k has a curious problem. When cold, it starts fine. However, when run for awhile, it acts as though the starter is dragging. Lights and everything else seem…Continue

"Hey David,
It's very hard to diagnose noises over the internet! Any chance you could record it on your phone and post it to YouTube so we can hear it? Once you do that you can post a link to your video here using this…"

The engine in my 86 720 Kingcab has low oil pressure and a clattering engine. It has plenty of oil. It doesn't seem to be burning excess oil and has plenty of power relatively speaking of course. This has been a worsening condition over the last several years of little use.I know the engine bearings somewhere are about shot.My question is, any recommendations on how best to proceed from here? I don't want to do any engine work other than simple maintenance. I would like not to spend over…See More
David Smith replied to David Smith's discussion No Charge and Battery Dies"Took it to a mechanic. Turned out that the rebuilt starter was defective. Was told that it had three shorts in it. Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied. Glad to see that this forum is still active. "

My 86 720 Kingcab had been mostly sitting for about three years under a shed. I had started maybe run it around the farm to warm it up maybe three or four times. Each time I would remove the battery. Today, with a fully charged battery, I decided to take it down the road to loosen it up. May run it two or three miles. When doing so, I noticed that the gauge indicated it wasn't charging. I checked around for broken or loose wires but after finding none, I put in a rebuilt alternator. I am…See More
