  1. Yeah his doesn't have that option. Even with the switch unplugged the truck will still start.
  2. Got the 93 when I was sixteen. Didn't get to drive it for long, as I found severe frame rust. The gray one you see is the one I have at school. I bought it in my second semester of the first year because I couldn't stand driving my grandmothers car all the time. The third (loaded 95) I bought this February for 100 dollars. It needs a little welding but is only got 112k on it.
  3. Mine were perfect inside. Well they both were until someone kicked in the passenger side on
  4. I got some clear ones with orange bulbs off ebay but just to warn you they don't seal very well.
  5. Yeah I do have 3 I was just kidding. I keep all 3 in different places! That way no one can say anything. One is my DD, the other is in my grandmothers garage, and the 93 is in my friends backyard shed thingy lol.
  6. I would like something for the bottom frame rails eventually when I find another job. Need to start fixing my 93.
  7. I used 2 6mm allen keys. But it probably isn't the right way. But it worked.
  8. Alrighty so today I changed the plugs and wires. Magregor checked the timing with a timing light and it lined up with the first mark on the crank pulley, and cleaned up the cap and rotor contact. After letting it run for a few minutes you could hear it start to run funny (like a thud thud thud out of the exhaust) and the timing went off a bit so we adjusted the distributor and got it so it runs decent. I still get the blinking SES but only at idle... It has a bit more power now but I don't know what to do. I guess I'll have to get the cats replaced I guess. Can you remove the 2nd set of cats on an r50? I noticed there are 4.
  9. I'm not overly impressed with my bfg at's. They are louder than my dueler at's and the traction isn't as good from my experience.
  10. Did you have the classic enlarged oval hole in yours? Yeah 15/16ths is what i used.
  11. Also look at those tension rod bushings. Might want to inspect those.
  12. Yes you have ball joints...They are a part of all independent front suspensions. The camber is adjusted with shims like nunya said.
  13. I won't give into these programs. Funny I couldn't even get a rebate because if i wanted to give the old pathy in (never gonna happen) I'd get an Xterra but that doesn't fall into the treehugger gas saver category so no rebate for me.
  14. You need to adjust your camber. If its not off, then your ball joints are toast.
  15. It's called retire your ride here in Ontario i think
  16. Ok so I took it back today with a note of the things that I didn't like. First of all they told me that they double checked the timing and made sure it was at TDC when they changed the belt and all that crap. Then he told me they scanned the codes and it came up for misfire. They said that my plugs and wires looked old (they are) and to try changing them and if it still is acting up to bring it back. As for the catalytic converters they told me that they measured the temps at the front of the cat and it apparently was 100 degrees hotter than the back. They said if I chose not to replace that cats they would fix the gasket leak, which apparently is exacerbated by the misfire. For the noise under the hood they said that the belts were set to the proper tension and that I should drive it for a bit (few hundred kilometers) and if it is still making noise to bring it back... I guess I know what I'm doing after class today.
  17. Considering that you want to take this truck off road I wouldn't notch the tie rods. They can bend on their own without any help
  18. I wouldn't trust anyone named rusty.
  19. I'm taking it back on Monday. I checked all the connections. Dad drove it today and said it's gutless. Like you floor it and it barely goes.
  20. I don't know about you guys but around here it's not an octane rating on the pump but an "anti-knock index" I just use 89
