The 94 I bought was in some sort of front end collision years ago, and was repaired using aftermarket headlights, signals, markers, grille, bumper, and fenders. The only reason I noticed is because when I replaced all the a/c o-rings, I noticed the condenser, rad and all the other stuff was aftermarket and looked a lot newer than everything else. Other than the fact that the PO didn't clip the grille back in when he put the tranny cooler on, you can't even tell...

It should spin easily on wet pavement. On my way to work I never really go past 3000rpm and I'm keeping up with traffic.

Are you crazy, these trucks are built a lot better than most in their time. Check out an explorer or blazer of the same generation and see how loose/worn all the body parts are.

Do you have a trailer wiring harness installed? Also check the grounds, I had a problem where the quarter panel had some rust and salt would come in. It ate the wires on the harness and I had to replace the whole thing because the wires just fell out of the sockets.

Mine look like threaded machine screws...Still nice and tight after all this time.

I have had a few problems with re-man parts. Mostly alternators and brake calipers though. I've never had to change a starter so I guess I am lucky.

You could loop the lines and fill it so at least the rack is lubed. Common mod in the vw world my friend says. Sent from my BlackBerry 9670 using Tapatalk

Just change the bearing, costs 5 bucks at the most, and takes like 10 minutes.

Check your MAF sensor, more specifically, the wiring at the connector.

Yeah my old pathy (before the compressor wore out since I had it on 24/7 lol) used to get below 40 degrees even on the hottest days.

I used the cans in my old truck with no problems, I put the sealer in eventually and it stopped the leak. Though it would take an entire winter to leak out. Sent from my BlackBerry 9670 using Tapatalk

Did you make sure to get the longer bolts for the UCA's? If they put too many shims there won't be enough thread engagement to torque the bolts and they could fall out.
-
Whats even more dumb is people have done the twist the belt between the cams to 90 degrees method probably over a thousand times and it is proven. And the tensioner should be around 5 o'clock.

Stupid question about the transfer case boot
adamzan replied to Slartibartfast's topic in The Garage
Kyle your truck has both boots, the rubber one is under the leather one. My leather one on my gray 95 was torn for years but since I replaced the rubber boot it was still quiet. -
I have one cardone cv shaft and it has held up well, I need to replace a shaft in my new pathy so I'll take that one out of my old one, its only been in there a year or so, but I wheeled on it many times with no issues.
-
Bosch makes excellent starters. That cheap lifetime warranty stuff sucks.
-
Replace the rad, I went thru this with my dads old 2000 pathy and I have seen it on a few others. It started off as you described but as the rad gets more blocked it will fail to cool the engine even without the a/c on.
-
Well I guess it depends, if some moron did the brakes the last time and didn't tighten it properly I could see how it would seem that way. Though everything does wear out eventually.

Replaced vehicle speed sensor, speedometer still acting funny
adamzan replied to WokeUpDead's topic in The Garage
If it is a cluster for a 95 and it had dual trips, it will have the digital trips in the bottom left corner. I knew a guy here that swapped his single trip for a dual trip, and the dual trips worked just fine -
Another tip for the case, you can get things called "project boxes" at electronic stores that are made for this kinda thing. I have to pic them up for work all the time, they aren't too expensive and come in many shapes/sizes.

Your shop is retarded then, it is a bit of a process to set the caster/camber properly, but not impossible. There are a few different thicknesses of the shims, according to the FSM, and I know for a fact they are still available. The place that did my old gray one when I lifted it got it right, and it took them about 4 hours but it drove straight and didn't wear the tires funny at all even with 33" tires and a 3" SL. Hell, I got tired of spending money on alignments so I just talked to mr510 and my1path, and learned to do it myself. You shim for the major adjustment, adjust the tbars to fine tune, and then set the toe.

Mine wasn't offroad nor a pathy either. I was with my buddy in his ram and we were hauling my parts pathy to a storage lot, this was in the middle of winter and it was about -30C outside. We heard this funny noise from the motor but couldn't really pinpoint it so we kept going. Stopped off for gas 30 mins later and when we were pulling into the station I could hear this ping ping ping sound. When I got out I could smell burning rubber. Popped the hood and found the belt tensioner bearings were flying out! Ended up having to bum a ride from some random guy to get to a parts store that was 20 miles away. He was nice enough to drive us back too. We installed it and went on our way. Were our fingers ever frozen!
