5523Pathfinder Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 After letting the 95 sit for the last 3 months, I charge up the battery and took for a spin. Still fun little toy. Just no time to enjoy the fruits of the labor. Well, be home on the 24th and go wheelin with us at Tahuya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Took her out for a decent play, even the winch got a great workout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice! Looks like you found yourself a little mud hole? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Haha yeah that stuff was like cement to get off though, was all over the inside of my wheels on way home and threw my wheel balance way off! Wobbling all over the show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathyAndTheJets Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Found my noise coming out of the engine bay. Fan clutch is shot. No resistance when hot, the heat transfer snot is all over the fan, and I've got 3/8 inch of lateral play on the fan. No bueno. Got a new one coming this afternoon.

k9sar Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Got tired of the ABS light being lit on my instrument panel. Ran a diagnostic and found there is an open circuit in the sensor so I removed the front seat, accessed the control unit and snipped the #2 wire which goes from the control unit to the dash. No more light. Easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 You know you could have just unplugged the connection? That's what I did lol. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO_pathfinder Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Or you could have done what my PO did and just pulled the bulb out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 A lot quicker to pull the seat than the cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixinto Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 warmed her up to operating temperature, turned her off and locked the door. Trying to move and saving for a Clutch kit. My clutch is barely hanging on by a thread. Driving the other ride i acquired earlier this year. Every time i get close to having the $ for the clutch kit, front trans seal, rear trans seal, and rear main seal. "figured what the heck while i was in there" the car i drive gets jealous and something breaks on it. SO there goes half of my fund.....sigh...... hopefully i will get moved soon and can just bust out some crazy OT and grab this stuff. If you guys want i will take as many pictures as i can during the work and try to make something for the garage section. pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 New alternator ordered and arriving hopefully next Monday. For now I have to put the battery on trickle charge every night. Battery still in good condition so it's accepting a charge. The old alternator which is probably the original was only putting out 0.2 volts. Tested battery at rest 12.7. With engine running 12.9. With lights on 12.45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Changed my (needless to say overdue) Compression rod bushes... counting my luck finding the sleeve had worn through to the rod but hadn't started wearing the rod itself! All back together and feeling much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathyAndTheJets Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Got her ready for winter. Washed, undercoated and rocker panels bedlined after 30 years of gravel and dust stripping the paint. Fixed the leaky washer reservoir, replaced the fan clutch and checked the antifreeze protection. Hopefully I can spoil her a bit more before the snow flies and get the ball joints and CV shafts replaced, along with a hub and bearing service.

tmoore4512 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Discovered that the tension adjustment bolt had apparently became loose and then fell out of my alternator bracket...thus the belt became loose and floppy...and noisy...sigh. I need to replace the tension bolt now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 As I drove it to work sounding like a tractor with no muffler, I debated going back to the manifolds/crossover pipe setup over new headers. Headers are on back order and I can't stand the god damn leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmoore4512 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Dude your tire carrier looks great.I trimmed my rear fender wells...Did not think I needed to until I hauled a heavy load in the rear cargo area and the 35's were rubbing in the turns...

flnl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Checked the low fuel warning lamp. Grounding it works. Also there's continuity between the cluster connector and the rear trunk connector.There's no continuity nor resistance to the fuel tank gauge connector. Need to check if the low warning switch exists there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNAM Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Replaced a blown switch for my rock lights under the truck. Fixed my backup rear view cam as the wires from the license plate mount had got cut. Took it for tire rotation and alignment today as well. Now she just needs a thorough wash inside and out.

flnl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Also, there is a low washer level warning in the mask and the lamp works. But there's no switch in the washer tank. I know it's kind of a silly warning lamp, but if it is in the mask, it should have the switch. I hate to have that unused space there. Todo: put a low washer level switch.
