  1. That is just the dust shield for the shock, if the shocks aren't bouncy I would just leave them honestly.
  2. I say flush it out as best you can, slap some good used heads on it and keep on trucking. If the metal has damaged other parts of the motor you could always find a used motor at a wrecking yard, much cheaper than a new or rebuilt one.
  3. I would only change things that are loose or worn out. Check those tie rods, control arm bushings and tension rod bushings for excessive damage or play. I would change those sway bar links though. Your tension rod bushings look ok from the pic but its hard to see (second pic, rod going from LCA to the frame).
  4. If the lights don't dim out, its probably not the battery. Try turning the key to start and then back to "on" a few times really fast. That got it going last time I was helping someone with a no start pathy.
  5. What about your wheel bearings? Did you mess with those at all?
  6. If your pipes are old and keep blowing gaskets, the flanges are probably warped or rotted away. '
  7. Your blower motor resistor needs to be replaced.

    oil filter?

    It's mounted horizontally on the wd21.
  9. What do you mean you stripped the balancer? You mean the holes that you use to bolt the puller onto? Drill them out a little and tap them to some convenient size and bolt the puller back on.
  10. So no more steering wheel being ripped out of your hands when going over dips in the road lol.
  11. I had the same problem with my stock deck. I noticed sometimes if you pushed on the radio or tried to move it it would come back on for a bit. I'm betting that there is a broken solder joint in there somewhere.
  12. Why not buy it, fix it up, and turn it around for a profit?

    oil filter?

    The plugs aren't hard at all..
  14. I know they are. I thought kiwipete was asking for the 4x4 inners...

    oil filter?

    Yeah, the dealer charges the same price for the filter whether they change the oil or you do, at least around here. Around 8 bucks. Not bad for OEM. Right now on my new to me '94 I am using pennzoil yellow bottle and a bosch filter. Engine is smooth and quiet even at 150k miles.

    oil filter?

    For what it's worth. I had the ticking/took longer to build oil pressure on startup with the napa filters as well.
  17. Ones for with cruise one for without.
  18. Here are the inners: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moog-ES3376-Inner-Tie-Rod-End-/290702058912?hash=item43af3165a0&item=290702058912&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr Outers: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moog-ES3375-Outer-Tie-Rod-End-/120895942207?hash=item1c25f5ae3f&item=120895942207&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
  19. That means they are sticking, clean them and lube them with a bit of light grease and they should be fine. If the grease is too thick they will engage on their own in the cold months.
  20. If you have yours registered as an SE you might wanna call your insurance and tell them it's an XE. I know my SE costs more to insure than my XE does/did.
  21. 15 degrees is in the middle of the 4 marks if you have a 4 mark pulley or the middle mark if you have the 5 mark pulley.
  22. I found my AC 3" coils a little stiff when the truck was empty but when you loaded it up with people (or tools/a load) it rode really nice. I also never had a problem with the CV boots ripping and mine is only 1.5 inches higher in the back.
  23. Well you could still be off a tooth in the cam and crank count. Was the timing belt you took off a nissan one or an aftermarket? If it was changed before you owned it maybe they turned the distributor to compensate. I just went through this hassle on mine. (I tore it apart 4 times to check the teeth count!) Get a timing light and check the timing, that will tell you right there. If it is CLOSE to the 15 degree mark you might get away with adjusting the dizzy. But don't do that till you check it out more. Is the noise you hear when you rev it kind of a howling whirring noise? If so it is kind of normal for a new t-belt to make a bit of noise until it breaks in, that or you have it on there too tight.
  24. Yep that's right. I ran the same setup for a couple of years on mine and it was fine. Tires looked a little ballooned but they wore pretty even.
