That's the thing, the heads and everything has to come of/ out to find out .

It's going back in we'll see, I would think they did and then refilled it w/ new coolant.

So after oh, I'd say 6 months since I hand the entire cooling system re-paired here I am with a puddle the size of the truck and no visible hoses leaking... It might just be the last time I drive this G'Damn thing. Has anyone delt with these cooling system issues is it common or just my Sh'T luck??? :furious:

hey there, now, i swear i read the JGC spring installation instructions fromm" '88 pathoffroad" like 2 weeks ago now i can't find the topic here anywhere...help! I',m psyched to in stall these!!! thanks guys! gabe

NewCastle "The one and only" ( it says so on the bottle!) ...oh, and High Life on the boat! -g

so should I just replace it ? -thnkboutit-

So here it is, due to a 3" hose ripping right in the rear of thr engine block carrying coolant I over heated yesterday, ( temporary fgix was using some of the overflow hose for the ride home.) Anyway I've replaced the hose now but I'm noticing a ticking noise, I'm pretty sure all th vac hoses are ok back there, here's my worry, could the engine over heating dammage my almost brand new head gasket? Has this senario ever happened to any one? Thanks guys you always come through! Gabriel.

right on, it came off easily, gotta replace the bolts with a spacer as not to get mud 'n stuff in there.

both, I'm gonna put the spare up on the roof inside my rack.

So, It can't just be the body, i mean that thing is pretty substantial.

If anyone has attempted this feat I'd like t hear your story, see some documentation, at least see if its possible. ...we need some rain in Tx, so if anyone can hook that up too... thanks. -g

it's an automatic w/ 4wd(not engaged), but that whole area between the front seats is getting hot as i'm driving alond. has anyone experienced this? ... am i just paranoyed? -g

That was it ... the ignition wire, thanks a ton it's up an' runnin agin!

It finally went...my starter, it had failed a time or two b4, but for some divine reason, it came back.. well today, no such luck. but ./ this out, there is a kill switch, usually a tap on that and things are good to go, well damn it, I still got no crank... had a buddies jump- box, ( you know the last glimmer of hope...) ...nope. so the arduous task of outing the starter begins, what a nightmare. I have a whole spare truck here, why's it got to be so damn tough? -g :furious:

Well, now that I'll be driving a conpany truck, the mods will begin! I've done the T-bar thingbut now it's time to git Funky! BTW 88pathoffroad has a slick lookin' ride! ?size tires are those? -g

Auto - auto, yeah i should've mentiond that !

That truck is absolutly sick, I can only imagine how fun that ride must be, and as for safety, it is the -drivers- right and respons-ability... << notice the spelling, abillity! Right on Bro! -g

Ok, it's crunch time here... G-F sais the old truck is out if i don't do something with it... so today, i washed it... and sat in it ... for a while. C'mon, thats not that wierd. Anyway if anyone recalls it died of a bad trany 'bout 2 months ago... I got another one but can't let the other go. I have been interested in working on cars for a long time... but a trany has me worried, if ANY -one has done this or attempted or wants to warn me of certain doom, please respond. thanks all. <<<or help!

yeah so, I turn the truck on last night, and the brake light in the top left corner of the inst. panel stays on, but the E-brake is down as far as it goes and there is no wheel tension like when it is engaged. what to do?

oh, and F' BUSH!

well, I use my Finder for work- it is a reliable source of income... so, as you know a 6-day-a-week jobby will cost in the realm of $100/wk, oh and I tow my 4000 lb ski boat to the lake every single day off, though the war finance petrol -program is a pain in the ass, the local wallet area I WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS SELL 'ER...EVER! -----heart racing----- EVER!

The legacy of the truck that was the love of my life came to a rolling stop on thursday night, on the Mopac Expressway in Austin. My Green 92 'finder was in trouble, the diagnosis, grim, internal transmittion, cost: $2200 from AAMCO. I was devestated. Faced with the delema of repairing my loved one or moving on was almost to much and with pressure from my girlfriend to do the sensible thing, I decided, to not repair my baby, my trusty companion, the wind benieth,... well, you get the idea. Then with my heart in my hands, I began the short trip home, when there accross the intersection, in a corner lot with a big green 92 - 4X4 for sale, was this... could this, it was as if the clouds parted the heavens shone thru, on this perfect being, immediatly i entered the lot, fighting the tears of joy, the sales man must have seen me comming, he met me at the truck amongst all the other cars. all that was absent was the rolled out red carpet. in a matter of hours there was a big gold 4wheel drive band-aid on my aching heart. That my freinds is devine intervention, karma, however your convictions translate it, good things can, and do happen, in this club! however, I an still facing the sad fact that i have a truck that does not run to deal with, there are some things I will obviously X-fer over to my new Pathfinder, some small interion items and stereo systen that I installed, but as for the rest of the truck, should i donate it to a charity, sell it as is, if anyone has any suggestions please post 'em. -and shaere this tale of good fortune with all. :type:

ok, @ low RPM there is a raspy sound creeping up from, i guess mid chassis. it's no secret that i've crawled over a rock w/ my exauhstbut it all seems solid, pluss there is a slight struggle and the raspy sound when i first start it up.... this is killing me guys... some things that i am concerned aboot are a. the tranny b. the torque converter c. fuel pump and or injector anyone had this problem? thank for all the help. -g

how hared is that, putting a turbo Z engine in? is the cranckshaft an easy swap? -g
