I had a 2 wd 1978 K5 Scottsdale Blazer back in the day. Bought it used in '83 and sold it around '87. Lots of rust forming when I bought it.

Heated indoor parking. :) :)

He must have sent the motor out to have the oil changed. Some people have waaaay too much time and money...

I had the 2.3 liter Turbo in my "88 Merkur Xr4ti. Only issue I had I blew a head gasket but that was not the engines fault. I knew the waste gate was not working properly. That motor was fun to drive ahead of the 5 speed manual.

I went this route for now to let the area breath and still be able monitor the welds.. I put the original boots back on. Hope for a future leak and new shocks.

Crossed Winklers

California.....Nothing gonna happen to them.

Don't drive it in the surf/ocean. It will take awhile but you'll find out.

Still not sure why people are obsessed with having the front of their vehicles lit up like a Techno club. I suppose just being Old School.

Was the accident your fault or second party fault? If second party I would fight it more so that you would not be out the difference to replace your vehicle with like.

The OP stated that he replaced the leaking wheels on his own dime and I do not think ford dealer is going to make it right by giving him the cost for the replacement wheels that were causing the issues. When tires are losing air there is a problem and dealer sounds like they did not look at all...

And a bunch of you people laugh about the "Mall Crawlers". They are capable.

Screwed on for Formoco's pleasure.

What he said ^^

The correct fender openings will be a ordeal...

I’m going this route so I can monitor the condition of my shocks. Used some POR15 on the reservoirs. No rust on the welds.

Just inspected my rear shocks this morning. The reservoir attachment’s have no corrosion but the reservoir bottoms look like this. I wonder what my chances of new shocks are since the attachment welds show no corrosion.

It takes a bit of time to get the mold tooled up for the rubber boots. LOL

I wonder if it was considered in the repair planning that the rubber boots will trap heat/ moisture/salt-sand water (if on a beach)/ Brine/salt/ dirt and road debris. Clever design keeps the top closed and the owner from monitoring the rust sealant status. Terrible fix and will exacerbate the...

I read the tech bulletin, My takeaway is that they are more concerned about the reservoir falling off the vehicle onto the road than they are about the original rust/leak/fail separation issue. They can still rust/ leak/falloff as long as the debris is contained in the rubber bag.
