  1. Sounds like the little flapper door that opens and closes when you select vents isn't working. Never torn apart an R50 before, so I'm not sure exactly where its located.
  2. I'm a wd21 and my compressor and air tank is underneath the body tucked up mounted to the frame. I have 3/8" nylon airline underneath the cab to my quick disconnects. You would have to run a line through a grommet out of the cab and split underneath.
  3. I've had to replace a few discontinued hoses, and as a last resort ended up at a hose warehouse and found something that worked.
  4. The 90 2 door with the MPFI is extremely rare. Not many got imported, and Obamas cash for clunkers probably killed most of them. You my friend, have got a RARE Gem.
  5. I'd probably pull some from a junkyard. Or at least compare the two and look for differences.
  6. You should plumb the system so you have quick disconnect fittings in/near each of the wheel wells so you just hook up 4 ~36" whips. That would eliminate some of the hose you must carry, then you just stuff the short lengths of hose under the sear or some where. That's how I've built mine.
  7. My TBI VG30 gets 17 in town and 19-20 on the highway I'm careful with the gas pedal and not traveling against high winds. I run Ethanol free 89 Octane fuel. I would think yours should do better.
  8. Take it to a reputable stereo shop. Best Buy is a bunch of Idiots that only know how to use their plug-n-play harnesses. Bypass the factory amps. You just replace door speakers and just run new speaker wires to the head unit. At $65/hr, with high quality new door speakers installed i'd charge roughly $275 out the door at my shop.
  9. Check Timing and might as well replace the belt if it hasn't been done in a while. Could also be internally in the distributor. Could also pull spark plug wires off one by one and see if one cylinder is causing your problem.
  10. Check the contact on the rotor. Could be not arcing right.
  11. Looks like a valet switch from an aftermarket remote start/Keyless entry system. Directed Electronics uses that style switch on their systems such as the Python 4103.
  12. Run 35 psi on mine until I need to air down to 15 on the trails.
  13. Best bet would probably be from a junkyard.
  14. Correct, all the UCAs do, is allow for proper alignment (Camber/Caster) and correct ball joint angle. The 4x4parts ones just look beefier then stock, but offer no real advantage. Nobody said the UCAs themselves do the lift.
  15. Correct. Some members here are using ford shocks, but I'm not sure what part numbers they are using. Hopefully someone using them here will chime in.
  16. Another option is to brace up the centerlink. But, when you strengthen the weakest point in the suspension, you're just moving the weak spot to another component. You only need to replace the steering box if there is play in the shaft. Same goes for the pitman.
  17. If you don't do UCAs and lift it, you'll be doing ball joints every few months because your maxing out the ball joint all the time. Also watch for CV Bind when you lift or you'll tear those up all the time too. When you do lift it, longer shocks are not needed, because you are not lengthening full droop of the IFS. Also for a 2" lift, a panhard drop isn't needed, but it wouldn't hurt though.
  18. Had a buddy complain of horrible steering for about 2 months in his old pickup, until I noticed one of his hubs was locked in. He was a little pissed.
  19. Installed some Vision X 1156A LEDs in my turn signals. Got tired of a slight rattle from my catalytic converter barely touching a cross member so I welded a new exhaust hanger on. Also had a slight rattle from my Hi-Lift jack handle when hitting bumps, so I took off the Hi-Lift brand handle keeper and put on a Daystar Handle keeper. Much quieter now.
  20. That thing is a beast. Awesome build man. Everything looks great.
  21. You'll want both. When I did mine it only took me about 4 hours to do the whole thing, but that's with air tools and a shop to do it in.
  22. I install BDS lift kits at work all the time and have not had any issues whatsoever. Quality parts every time and customer service has always been great, and you can't beat the warranty.
  23. I use WIX filters for everything I can. Never had problems with them on any vehicle I've owned.
  24. Yakima and Thule have fit guides. The feet for my rails is the Thule system for the 4 door pathfinders, because they don't make one for the 2 doors that use different rails. My factory rack buckled under the weight and slightly bent, so I had to go this route. The feet use the T-Slot in your factory rails to mount. Its the podium foot pack 460 I believe.
  25. Like a TRUE 90 2 Door? MPFI 2 door or TBI?
